Lighthouse Keeper Sails Six
Miles Through Drifting Ice

David W. Collision, assistant keep
er of Maryland lighthouse, tells the
risks and dangers he experienced in
order to secure a supply of Father

ct am at Seven Foot Knoll light

the verge of grip. I had previously
used Father Johns Medicine with
good success and needed a supply to
give me strength to ward off the at

Owing to the inclement weather,
II could not leave the station to go to
Baltimore to renew my supply Of
Father Johns Medicine, so 1 started
amid the risks and dangers Of drift

CAUSE QlnKklEQ0
OF MUCH OHUNssGVO

One reason so many people take
cold during the winter months, ac-
cording to a well known authority,
is the hot, dry atmosphere indoors,
due to imperfect heating. If we
were as careful to keep the air in
our rooms moist as we are to keep
them warm, there would be less oc-
casion for cough medicine than is
now the cause.
OF all the so-called minor ills of
the body, there is none the neglect
of which is so liable to result SER
iously as the common cold" The
cough irritates the mucous mem
brane of the throat, lungs and bron-
chia1 organs, leaving them sore and
inviting attack from the countless
germs of dread tuberculosis which
infect the air we breathe.
A simple. inexpensive cough med
icine can be made by mixing two
ounces of glycerine, a half-ounce of
Virgin Oil of Pine compound pure
and eight ounces of pure whisky
Shake well and take a teaspoonful
every four hours. 1t will break up
a cold quickly and cure any cough
that is durable. This formula is fire.
quently prescribed and is highly rec
commended by the Leach Chemical
company of Cincinnati, who prepare
the genuine Virgin Oil of Pine com
pound pure for dispensing through
druggists.

NOT ENOUGH ROO M
Local Home of Y. M. G. A. Has
About Reached Limits of
It's Capacity.
TO BUILD MORE LOCKERS
Ideas of Twenty Years Ago Will Not
Suffice in Meeting Modern
Conditions.

That things are getting crowded at
the Y. NJ. c. A. was emphasized in an
imperative way yesterday. when it was
found that every locker in the physical
department is occupied, and that there
is no more room for locker accommoda-
lions until more lockers are provided.
There are 120 lockers in the locker
rooms at present, and in good many
cases two or three members are using
the same locker, so that there are at
least $50 to It's members who are
making use of this convenience. That
means that considerably more than so
per cent of the members are using the
gymnasium privileges.
Demand Continues.
The demand for lockers shows no
sign OF letting up, so 1t will be necese-
sary to build some new ones, and that
Is to be done at once. A section Of "a
new lockers will be constructed in the
course Of a few days, and then the
pressure will be relieved for while.
These limitations are hard upon the
work of the association, and go to
show how inadequate are the ideas of
20 years ago, when It comes to provide
for modern needs When the local
Y. M G. A building was put up, 1t was
regarded as a model of excellence, and
so It was for the time; but today the
changing methods and the great prog
ress of association work in general
have left the old building far behind.
Twenty years ago 800 members would
have been big for Rock Island, but to-
day 1000 men ought to be accommoda-
ted, and could be with modern equip
ment
May Cause Awakening.
The scarcity of lockers is but one OF
the many things that hinder the devel-
opment of the local work, but in spite
of its hindrances the work is growing
and will continue to grow so long as
there is any place in which there is
room for growth. 1t is suggested that
perhaps when the membership becomes
so full that the members will be hang
ing on the outside of the building try
ing to look in, the people of the city
will wake up to the need and see that
more adequate provision is made for
the men.

Report ON Years work.
The report of Secretary G. C. Wen
ger was as follows:
In spite of the fact that the associa-
ton during the early part of the year
1909 was practically without funds for
current expenses the records show
that no necessary work was neglected.
The officers knew that funds would
be forthcoming, when the friends of
the home were informed that contri-
buttons were needed, and the work of
raising money was placed with COM
mittees and the superintendent re-
lieved of this duty that he could more
effectively attend to the important
task of investigating applications for
placing children in the home for tenn
porary care. The result was that all
applications were promptly attended to
and all worthy cases given relief and
the year can surely be termed a sue
cessful one, not only in the amount Of
good accomplished, but also in the re-
suits of the work of the soliciting
committee.
Committees show Results.
These committees organized at the
March meeting of the board of direc-
tors, and planned to raise a certain
amount in each of the twin-cities,
which it was thought together with
volunteer contributions and money re-
ceived from boarding certain children.
