Famous Surgeons Kindness to Poor
Jewish Family.
The humanity of DR.. William 7. Bull
of New York, the famous surgeon who
recently died at Savannah, Ga, is Illus
trated by an incident in his career
which came to light through another
physician.
Late at night young doctor from
the east side of New York city went
to DIR. Bulls home and told him that
his skill was needed to save the life
of a young Jewish girl afflicted with
appendicitis.
DIR. Bull went to the home OF the
girl 1t was In a tenement house
She lay on the floor on a bundle OF
rags. The family had not tasted food
in two days.
Taking of his coat and rolling up
his sleeves, DR.. Bull turned an 1cebox
into an operating table, operated on
the girl, stayed in the house till the
patient was out Of immediate danger
and saw that food was brought for the
family.
The father of the girl In his great
gratitude for the surgeons kindness
took from his pocket quarter, all the
money he had in the world, and prof.
fered 1t to the great physician, and
DIR. Bull, realizing the spirit in which
the money had been offered and toe
tender to refuse 1t, accepted the quar-
ter and placed 1t in his pocket.

A Startling Statement
New York Medical Authorities Claim
Dyspepsia Causes CONSUMPTION.

dyspepsia Causes Consumption.
The post norton statistics of the
big New York hospitals show that
some cases of consumption are due to
unchecked dyspepsia, especially when
the victim was predisposed to tuber-
culosis.
Dyspepsia wears out the body and
brain, the weakened, irritable stom-
ach is unable to digest food, the body
does not receive the required nourish.
ment, constipation ensues and the vic.
tim becomes thin, weak and haggard.
AS result, the body becomes fertile
field for the germs of disease to lodge
and flourish.
Therefore, the person who permits
dyspepsia to progress unhindered is
guilty of contributing toward the de-
velopment of one of the most insidious
and fatal diseases known to mankint.
Dyspepsia is durable if properly

Calls President Elect Colonel and
Leaves His Fathers Best Wishes.
AS the Taft train pulled out Of Bir-
liam Howard Taft, the president elect,
dropped down into q Pullman seat,
sighed and stretched himself for real
rest, says Cincinnati dispatch. His
labors for the day were over. 1t was
the first time since the train left New
Orleans at 9:20 o'clock in the morning
that his car had been free of local
committeeman, the first time he had
really had breathing space. His eyes
closed, and he began to nod.
Most of the others in the car were
already snoozing, their heads tilted
against the backs of the seats. Every
thing was as peaceful as a graveyard.
Suddenly from the very center of the
car came a voice: "How do you do,
colonel? Glad t see you"
Mr.. Taft opened his eyes with a
start; so did everybody else in the car.
The old familiar voice of the hand
shaker was there. but who the deuce
was ''colonel:"
The mans collar was unbuttoned
his shoes were united. he was minus a
necktie and was sweating like an ice
pitcher in July. lie was standing be-
side Mr.. Taft's seat.
"Why, 1 knew you, colonel" he went
on, "the moment l set eyes on you.
You look just like your pictures"
Mr.. Taft stopped rubbing his eyes
and smiled, smiled.
well, l have had good many
Names" said he, "but this is the first
time anybody has called me colonel.
They call me judge sometimes"
''Well, now. that's So" said the call
er; "they do call you judge, but you
certainly look like your pictures"
Before Mr.. Taft could say anything
further the man ratified along, appar-
emily alarmed at the prospect of the
train starting before he finished.
"My Acknowledgements years old

day morning completely destroyed the
residence of Harlan Cole on the bluff
road between Sixth and Seventh
streets in East Moline. The cause Of
the blaze has not been determined, but
the theory is that it originated from
a defective fiue upstairs. The fire
started about o'clock. Up to tn :
time Mr.. Cole started for work ut
the scale factory, no evidence of fire
was noticeable. John Kittilsen, scale
factory superintendent, first noticed
the flames while on his way to East
Moline at 1880 He Immediately mott
fled Mrs. Cole, who was downstairs
with the two children at the time
Entrance could not be gained to the
rooms upstairs owing to the smoke
and fire. Everything downstairs was
removed from the building. The total
loss will amount to $1,000 on house
hold goods, and the loss on clothing
is estimated at $500. A larger amount
of furniture and clothing was stored
in the upper rooms. The loss on the
building is estimated at 500.
Many Trannps Lodged-The monthly
report of the city marshal was made

1T showed that 1873 tramps had been

This is the greatest number lodged
this year for any one month, although
February is the shortest month. No
line statistics show that the months
of February and March are particu,
larly hard on the tramp. Last year
in February 1.204 tramps were given
, lodging and in March 1906. while in
April but $50 applied for d place to

A FEW REASONS.

One very good reason why the So
called prohibition should not be prac-
ticed in Florence is the fact that
where it has been tried it has been u
failure SO far as Its power to accomp-
lish the object it seeks and its advo-
Gates promise to attain. 1t does not
lessen the evils of the excessive use
of liquor. This has been proven
times without number and that local
prohibition is failure has many
times been testified to by those who
have been in position to best know
of the conditions-among this number
was the candidate for president on
the Prohibition ticket in the last Ma
tional campaign.
Man or woman who have an appe.
tito for liquor will buy drink as long
as 1t is manufactured for sale The
fact that his neighbor tells him that
he shall not buy it at certain place
or town has never yet restrained man
from obtaining it. If he has been un-
able to buy it in this store. this city.
block, this town or county, he has
always bought in the next best place |;
and the farther he has had to go the
larger has been the quantity secured
an6 the greater has been the evil
done.
The closer In touch man has kept
with the regulation of the traffic,
the better it has been for society.
Prohibition is merely n name, it does
not prohibit the thing intended, but
it does prohibit reliable men from
conducting the business in legiti-
mate manner; from furnishing bonds
and depositing u material sum of
money, and thus becoming financially
responsible to conduct the business
along proper lines; it does prohibit
a community from deriving part of
the revenue that is absolutely neces-
ssry to support organized society and
maintain government Of law and
protection, and it does send that rev.
enue elsewhere.
1t does not change mans appetite
nor lessen the consumption of liquor.
