DON 7 GIVE UP
HOPE Of CURE
Read One of DR..
Bartz's Latest Tes-
timonials Civ
en- Below
PEOPLE WANT PROOF

Don't give up hope of cure just
because you have selected the wrong
means, especially when there is a
treatment that has cured hundreds
afflicted as you are. If you are weak
from any cause or suffering from
tackache, lumbago, sciatica, rheuma-
tism, stomach and liver trouble, kid
ney, bladder or bowel complaints,
Dr. Bartz's system of treatment will
make you strong and wells again.
Here is one of his late testimon-
ials. He can refer you to many
others if you want further proof.
Mrs. Edward Van Gitsen, who re-
sides at 1885 Forty-second street.
Rock Island, says: All my life l
have had trouble with my stomach
and for the past seven years it has
been exceptionally bad. My tongue
was coated nearly all the time and
there was hardly day passed but
what l had a nasty taste in my mouth
together with this unpleasant state
of affairs, / suffered a great deal of
pain in my back and bowels, in fact
1 became so bad l could hardly do
my work. Finally, l began to rea-
lie that l would have to have help
soon or else give up completely, so
l made up my mind to consult Dr.
Bartz and try his method of treat
ment. 1 am glad 1 did so, for now
/ can hardly find words to express
my delight to think what a success
his treatment has been in my case.
I really feel like a new woman. The
= IL.
distressed feeling in my stomach has
all left me, the food all tastes natur-
al again, in fact. l feel perfectly we'll
once more"
The above case well illustrates the
marvellous work that is being &C
complished at DR.. Bartz's offices,
which are located in the Peoples Ma
tional bank building, Fourth floor,
corner Second avenue and Eigh-
teenth street, Rock Island. His Of
fees are nearly always crowded with
patients, some of whom come long
distances to be treated. His treat
ment is indeed wonderful as pains
and aches are frequently relieved in
few minutes time.
Notice"All patients calling at Dr.
Bartz's offices between. now and APP
ril 80 are treated free until cured.
This great free treatment offer was
extended until then On account of the
fact that the conservative patients
were only recently beginning to rea-
lie and appreciate the true merits
of his successful method of treat
ment and besides DIR. Bartz is
anxious to add at least 60 more rec
concentrations to his list of cured as
he firmly believes that one cured pa
tient can do more good in a COM
munity than whole page of adver-
Using.

FLAT BUILDINGS
STUMP CENSUS MAN
Finds Few of Occupants in During
the Day-Must Have Aid of
the Owners.

Has the census enumerator called
on you yet? He began his work yes
terday, and the government requires
that he complete his canvass in 10
days He may have called at your
home and you were away. He will
call again, but then he may finally be-
come discouraged at not being able to
catch you in, and In such an event you
would not be counted. Thus it is your
duty to see the enumerator if he does
not see you first
One of the census takers whose ter
Sritory embraces the central business
district related a circumstance that he
met with yesterday. In one of the fiat
buildings there are a large number of
roomers. He called morning. noon and
night at the building, and the best he
could do was to secure an interview
with two of the people who have
rooms there. He learned that they
were people who were employed dur
ing the day, and took their meals at
restaurants, and practically all the
time they spent in their rooms was
when they were sleeping. He said
that unless he was given assistance by
the owner or lessee of the building he
would be compelled to hang around
until late at night and take chances on
catching the people when they return
ed to their lodgings to sleep. Calling
at unseemly hours at the lodgings Of
people you do not know is not very
pleasant, and one might be roughly
handled" the census man stated. II
just cite this one instance to show
that we have a hard job, and that we
must have the cooperation of our fell
low citizens if we are to get COM

Los ANGELES. Oct, 7.-senator Theo-

commission, addressed the convention Of
the American Bankers association today.
The criticism may have arisen" said
Senator Burton, that the commission has
made tardy progress In its work because
for more than two years now no concrete
proposition for legislation has been pre-
sented. But when We consider the magni-
tude OF interests involved and the con-
trariety OF opinions TO be harmonized, the
time is not long. 1t is better to be assured
that projected legislation will be helpful
and will command popular approval than
20 enact ill-digested laws and regulations
which would have to be changed within a
few years. Thus far the time has been
usefully occupied in obtaining a basis upon
which to act"
Continuing, the speaker suggested that
IAN important reform would be to require
directors of national banks 20 give closer
attention to the management OF banks
with which they are connected so that they
may not be mere deadheads In determining
its policies"
