Moline Woman's Club.

The February Moline Woman's club
meeting, to be held at the First Congre-
gationaI church, Moline, Feb. II, will
be a meeting of great interest, both
from the fact that local people will
make the interest keen in temperance
and equal suffrage. and because one of
the foremost speakers of the day, DR..
B. o. AyleswOrth of Colorado, will
speak on the equal suffrage movement
Realizing that there may be many peo-
pie interested in these subjects who
are not affiliated with the club. and
also in an effort to make the attend
ance what it should be for man of
DR.. Aylesworth's calibre, after so long
trip, it has been decided to invite
the public. and make the meeting a
mass meeting. Mrs. Metzgar and Mrs.
L. D. Dunn, who are in charge of the
afternoons program, have arranged to
have two songs, instead of the usual
musical program, Mrs. Metzgar having
chosen 1.-THE White Ribbon Around the
World" and Mrs. Dunn has herself
written words for song to be sung to
the tune of John Browns Body"
These words have been sent to Mrs
J. J. Dorgan, chairman Of the music
committee, with the request that she
sing the songs, and the entire audience
join in the chorus

WILL VISIT IN
CHICAGO SCHOOLS
Teachers at the Horace Mann
Building Take Trip to Gath
err New Ideas.
TO BE THERE TWO DAYS
Pupils Have Holidays as Result
Enrolment in High School In
creased by Promotions.

All the teachers at the Horace Mann
school are to spend Thursday and Fri
day of this week visiting in the public
schools of Chicago and Oak Park.
There will be no school at the Horace
Mann building on those two days, and
the pupils will be allowed freedom from
their studies. 1t has been customary
in the past for teachers to take two
days each year for the purpose of Wis
iting other schools, and it has usually
been the plan to take one day in each
half of the term.
Visits were usually confined to the
schools of this city or of Moline and
Davenport, and the idea of going to
Chicago on visit is a new one and
meets with the hearty approval of the
superintendent of schools, H. B. Hay
den, who says the professional spirit
which prompts the teachers to pay
their own expenses Just to learn new
ideas is one to be highly commended
The teachers of the school who will
make the trip are Prin cipal Mary L.
Carter, and Natalie MirfieId, Mary
Quayle, Nettie Dodge. Marie A Koch,
Esther E. Olson, Julia Eckhart, Julia
Melchoir and Mabel E. Levy.

1t was a tiny fat tragedy to him.
Anyhow the breach widened and be-
came an open break as indicated In
what Mrs. Bull said:
1--WE have never agreed to any

thing. 1t is a case of incompatibility.
That is ali there is to say about it. "
While frequently entertained and
entertaining, it is said of Mr.. and
Mrs. Bull that for nearly two years
they never addressed each other.
Once, when they were on the receiv-

ing situation was created. All the

married to Alan Patrick Campbell,
son of Mrs. Patrick Campbell, the
English actress, did they address
each other The wedding was cele-

NO RIGHT TO TOLL
Federal Government Cannot
Claim Remuneration in Sale
of Water Power.
RESTS WITH THE STATES
Interested Only i'm Navigation, Ac-
cording to View of National
Waterways Commission.

Washington. Jan. 25.-The people OF
Illinois. as indeed those of every other
state in the union. have particular in
terest in the feature of the preliminary
report of the national waterways com
mission in reference to the relation OF
waterway improvements to water
power. A strong recommendation is
made that the greatest care be used
in the conservation of water power
for the use of the people. especially
in view of the fact that it will be used
to a greater extent in the future. It
also recommends such legislation as
will prevent any monopoly in the pos
session Of water power
Viewed from Three Points.
The rights of the federal government
in water power may be viewed from
three different standpoints:
First-Cases in which the power is
developed on the streams located in
the public lands, where undoubtedly
the government, so far as the rights
pertaining to the abutting ownership
are involved, has full control, and
should exercise the greatest care IN
: away Us AAShNSf w.
they may be.
Second-when the power is devel-
oped in nonnavigable streams, where
there is private or state ownership, in.
which case no federal authority 10
regulate or control exists, except TO
prevent Interference with the navtga-
ton of other streams.
Third-When water power is devel-
oped in navigable streams; in this
case several plans have been proposed
for the collection of tolls upon the
water power developed by dams
whenever their construction is per
mitted by congress.
No Rights Over Tolls.
The commission is unanimously of
the opinion that there is no proprietary
right or interest in navigable waters
which would authorize the collection
of tolls
1t must, Of course, be admitted that
whenever the privilege of constructing
dams is granted in a navigable stream
there is an undoubted right to impose
charges sufficient to pay the expenses
of examination and supervision and 70
secure the government against cost by
reason of obstacles to navigation ere
ated by the erection of dams; but this
rests upon an entirely different prin-
ciple from the proposal to charge tolls.
Interested Only in Navigation.
The control of the federal govern
ment over the navigable streams has
to do with navigation only, and in the
exercise of this jurisdiction the plan
commends itself to the commission of
inserting in each grant or franchise
under which consent to construct a
dam is given a condition that the
grantee who constructs the dam must
also, whenever necessary to subserve
the interests of navigation, construct
a lock suited to the locality and to the
probable development of traffic, and
also furnish power for the proper oper-
alton of the lock or locks
These requirements. rather than the
of tolls, appeal to the COM
because they are free from
legal objections and are in entire &C
cordance with the objects for which
the federal government has jurisdic-
ton over the navigable streams.

What To Do for a Cough.

Here is homemade remedy
that overcomes an obstinate
cough quicker than any costly
medicine YOU could buy. Any
woman can easily make it in
five minutes.
Granulated Sugar Syrup 1917 OF.
Pinex 800. $50. ..... 212 OF.
Put the Pinex in a clean pint
bottle and fill up with the syrup
made as follows: take a pint of
granulated sugar, add II pint of
warm water and stir for about
minutes. Take a teaspoonful
every one. two or three hours.
1t tastes pleasant-children
like it.
This simple medicine is also
splendid for colds, whooping
cough, bronchitis, incipient con-
sumption, chest pains, etc.
Pinex, as you probably know,
is the most potent form of Nor
way White Pine compound. 1t
is rich in all the well-known
pine elements. None of the
weaker pine preparations COM
pare with tho real PiDex it,
self. Your druggist has it, or
will gladly get it for you.
The full pint of this effective
cough syrup can be made for
ga cents. 1t keeps perfectly
and lasts a whole family long

instead of the syrup, and makes
a very fine honey and pine tar
