To Pave in Suburb.-The proposed
paving of First avenue in East Moline
is practically assured now. At meet
ing of the city council Friday evening

dock of Moline as the city civil en-
gineer and the council confirmed the

Toothpiek Effect In Bathing Suits.

The toothpick figure has made its
appearance at the seashore, and this
seems like the last straw. The new
bathing suits for women are distinctly
on the directoire effect. These suits
have been worn by women who have
braved the surf in the cool tempera-
ture of the early summer. so 1t seems
there is nothing Nbeyond fashion. 1t
might be expected that In bathing
suit nature would have its way. but
not n bit of it. Figures that a year
ago were in and out, up and down,
in and around. this way and that way,
at present offer passable imitation
of bean pole. which means that the
elongated corset is necessary addi-
ton this summer to the bathing suit.
To battle in a corset is about as COM
Portable as to eat ice cream through
a veil. but women are fashions ready

Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the
injurious effects of coffee and the
change in health that Postum can
bring, they are glad to lend their tes-
timony for the benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools
in one of the southern states says:
"My mother since her early child
hood was an inveterate coffee drink

for a number of years and complain
ed of that weak all over feeling

the meal was over, | bought pack

wife prepare some for the next meal.
The whole family were so well pleas

fee and used Postum entirely.
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after us

felt so much better than she did
prior to it's use, and had little trouble
with her heart and no sick stomach !,
that the headaches were not so fire.

myself and the other members OF the

she was victim of long standing.
