Vote Sanitarium Ballot

In the Illinois state board of health's
free circular on the causes and proven
ton of consumption is the following
" Consumption cures do not cure,
neither do the doctors who claim their
cures will cure. Medicines may help,
but no medicine in bottle ever cured
consumption. These words are only
too true, as many poor deluded vic
tins have to their sorrow found out -
Consumption can be cured if taken in
time, is this city as elsewhere. What
is needed, however, is poor air, proper
food and nursing. This modern treat
ment can be thus had in Rock Island
by voting to allow the tax to build a
public tuberculosis sanitarium.

THE PROPHET,

Old Ellery Gregg, when the weather

When the sunlight was bubbling anC
sparkling like wine,
When the skies were as bright as the
dreamings of boys
And the day seemed to be running
over with joys,
Would squirt at the sky and drink II
the fresh air
With a look of distrust and be moved
to declare:
eye may think it's spring, but the win
ter amt quit
bet We we pay for this fine weather
yit!"
Old Ellery Gregg, when the autumn
was long
And the birds tarried late and the open
brooks song
In November was heard and the big
yellow moon
Made the fields near as light as the
sun did at noon;
When the earth was af1ame with its
yellow and red.
W. ulu IOOh WIFI ulSIIuSl anu d SHAKE

'It amt human natur'-this here kind
of thing!
bet We we ketch it mex winter, by
jing!"
Old Ellery Gregg, when the winds
whistled keen,
When the snow lay knee deep all the
fences between,
When the boards creaked and snapped
in the walk down the street,
When the wires sang with frost and
the limbs hung with sleet,
Would tramp down the street with a
challenge so grim
In his eyes as though this had been or
dered for him:
81 toll We, by gum, that tn winter
amt quit;
I toll We we'd pay for that fine weather
yit!''

The point cannot properly be rails

is almost a duplicate of the Rainey
resolution.
Nor is the argument which Pres

effect that a congressional probe
might give immunity to the men "high-
er up now tenable, inasmuch as three
months have passed and no move has
been made by the government prose
cutors in New York to bring the "high-
erups" to trial. 1t is contended, in
fact, that the high up" sugar thieves
are getting far more immunity"
through congress failure to investi-

with congress investigating.
