CAUSE FOR ALARM
Loss of Appetite or Distress After Eat
ing Symptom that Should Not
Be Disreaarded

Appetite is just as natural desire for
food. Loss of appetite or stomach dis,
tress after eating indicate indigestion
or dyspepsia. Over-eating is a habit
very dangerous to persons good
health, and Unsuitable appetite is a
sure symptom of diabetes.
1t is not what you eat but what you
digest and assimilate that does you
good. Some of the strongest, heaviest
and healthiest persons are moderate
eaters
There is nothing that will create
sickness Or cause more trouble that a
disordered stomach and many people
daily contract serious maladies simply
through disregard ar abuse of the
stomach.
We urge everyone in Rock Island
who is suffering from any stomach de-
rangement, indigestion or dyspepsia,
whether acute or chronic, to try Rex
all Dyspepsia Tablets, with the dis
tinct understanding that We will re-
fund their money without question or
formality, if after reasonable use of
this medicine, they are not perfectly
satisfied with the results. We recon-
mend them to our customers every day
and have vet to hear of anyone who
has not been benefited by them. We
honestly believe them to be without
equal. They are made from the pre-
scription of physician who devoted
all his time to the study and treatment
of stomach troubles. They give very
prompt relief, neutralize the gastric
juices, strengthen the digestive organs,
create good digestion and assimila-
ton, naturally regulate the bowels.
promote perfect nutrition, and create a
permanent cure of all unhealthy symp-
toms.
We urge you to try 25 cent box
OF Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, which
gives Is days treatment. At the end
of that time, your money will be re-
turned to you if you are not satisfied.
OF course, in chronic cases. length of
treatment varies. For such cases, we
have two larger siezs, which sell for
As cents and SO cents. T. H. Thomas

DAVENPORT

Test Saloon Case Started.-Attorney
H. B. Betty, on behalf of the Civic
Federation, with the state of Iowa as
plaintiff, has filed information against
Dan ]. Flynn, proprietor of the Sara
toga hotel bar and Charles (Sappy)
Rink, who conducts a saloon on East
Fourth street, charging them with
contempt of court in engaging in the
sale of Intoxicating liquors after de-
crees of injunction had been issued
against them. Bench warrants for the
arrest of Flynn and Rink were issued
by Judge Bollinger and served by
Sheriff Eckhardt The hearing has
been set for Monday morning, Feb. 8,
at a.. II. In the meantime the de-
PENDANTS have been released on $500
bonds. The affidavits charging the
contempt are signed by Nels Peterson
and w. c. Norton. Heretofore it has
been customary for the Davenport
saloonkeepers who have had their
places of business closed by injunc
ton proceedings, to reopen by secur-
ing new permits from the city council,
filing new bonds, again securing the
consent of the abutting property own
ers, ETC. Attorney Betty has all along
contended that this was Illegal. He
takes the stand that when once sa-
loon is closed by injunction proceed
ings, its proprietor is permanently en-
joined from engaging in the liquor
business again in this judicial district
until the general consent of 81 per cent
of the voters is secured. Mr.. Betty
also questions the legal right OF the
city council to grant new permits -
saloonkeepers after once they have
been enjoined. Attorney Betty stated
that the action brought against Rink
is in the nature of a test case.
