SOL"
Whether or not the genius who
coined that famous name, "Uneeda
Biscuit" stopped to count how many
letters it contained, history sayeth not.
If he had, it is probable that instead
of being the greatest hit of the age it
would have died unknown, and the

famous, or the soda cracker which
made the name famous, as you choose.
would have gone forth with a more
prosaic title, to appearse the appetites
of the multitude.
Now, after 10 years. another genius
comes forward with the discovery that
Uneeda Biscuit contains Is letters. and
to make his discovery more startling.
he announced it on the 13 day of the

But it's too late-the old-time hoo

Uneeda Biscuit has been the great

known. They are eaten by the mil
lions and millions and millions-and
then some more. They are eaten by
everybody, their relatives, and their

No name has even been initiated SO
much as Uneeda Biscuit. Every con-
ceivable combination of letters has
been used for every possible, as well
as impossible kinds of biscuit-all of
which have really helped in the kill

the fame of the only real combination

A LIBERAL OFFER
r. n. Thomas Drug Store Guarantees
to Cure Dyspepsia-If They Fail
the Medicine Costs Nothing.

To unquestionably prove to the peo-
pie of Rock Island that indigestion and
dyspepsia is durable and that Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets will effect the cure,
we will furnish the medicine absolute
ly free if it fails to give complete sat
isfaction to anyone giving it trial.
The remarkable success of Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets is largely due to the
new and successful method of manu-
facture, whereby the well known prop
critics of Bismuth, Subnitrate and Pep
sin have been combined with carmina-
tives and their agents.
Bismuth Subnitrate and Pepsin are
recognized by the entire medical pro-
fession as specifies for acute indiges-
ton and dyspepsia.
The Pepsin used in Rexall Dyspep-
STA Tablets is manufactured by a new
process which develops it's greatest
efficiency. Pepsin supplies to the di
gestive apparatus one of the most i'm
portant elements of the digestive fluid
and exerts tonic influence upon al
the glands which supply all the other
elements necessary to proper assimi
lation and digestion.
The carminatives add properties
which promptly relieve the disturbances
and pain caused by undigested food.
The perfect combination of these in
gradients make remedy absolutely
Incompatible and invaluable for the
complete cure of indigestion and dys
pepsia.

81. That it is not the province of
government to interfere in the courses
of lawful business TO favor one against
another of it's citizens or to compel them
to certain ways in the pursuit of in
dustry or happiness.
%. That protection, by interfering as
it does in the business of the people, is
morally wrong, economically indefensi
BILE, leading to political corruption and
bad government and to the demoraliza
ton of the public conscience.
For the truth and validity of these
propositions we appeal to the discus
sions in congress, to the methods by
which the several schedules were
formed and passed, the influences
brought to bear on president and con-
gress, the acknowledged relation of
tariff legislation to party supremacy
and control, and to the we'll known
motives and means by which majority
were held together to pass any or all
the schedules. Greed and self interest
characterized every move made in the
construction of this last and greatest
protective law. Then we ask the
thoughtful man to look at home about
him, and see what he gets for it all. 1t
is as hard and unjust on the manufac-
turer as on the labOrer, but he can re
coup from the consumer. The product
of one factory is the raw material of
another, and the manufacturer sees his
expected gains from the protective duty
he obtained at 50 much cost dissipated
among others, and he little or no bet
ter off. Instead of asking relief for all
he turns to congress and asks it to favor
him. Is this good policy? Is it right?
And remember, that when a wrong is
done by the authority or consent of the
law the consciences of all parties to the
wrong are deadened and they feel JUST
fed in other and further wrongs.
