ELECTRICITY
WORKS MIRACLES
Fast Becoming the Chief Remedy in
Curing Maay Diseases.

Fast Becoming the Chief Remedy in
Curing Maay Diseases.
A few years ago a well known mer-
chant in the middle west was restored
to health by electrical treatment after
he had suffered for years. This case
aroused q good deal of interest at the
time, because electricity was still a
comparatively new treatment. Today
the scientific. world is no longer as
founded ct the marvellous cures made
by electricity. This is the electrical
age in the treatment of disease as well
as other things.
Electricity is giving strength to the
weak, restoring new life to worn out
men and women, is an excellent tonic
to digestion and circulation, and it has
enabled many a rheumatic to throw
away his crutches.
The physician today who has made a
speciality Of electricity and has equip
ped his office with the X-Ray and the
many special electrical batteries Is on
the high road to success and popular
ity. The specialist in electricity is
able to give new hope and health to
thousands. Stomach troubles, nervous
ness. kidney diseases, catarrh and lung
affections, weak sight, deafness, in
fact, there is hardly any disease that
cannot be helped by electricity.
By using electricity alone or in COM
bination with suitable remedies, many
diseases are now relieved and cured
that once were considered incurable.
However, electric belts are of no
value in most cases, Is the opinion Of
high class physicians all over the
world They usually contain little or
no electricity that is of any real ben
eft High class electrical batteries
are what is needed; that will give
mild, pleasant currents
DR.. d. Arsonville of Paris says: 1.-THE
world Is on the eve of therapeutical
revolution. Electricity will be the med
icine of the future
There Is very little doubt that the
real spark of life itself is some form
of electricity. When person is sick
the electrical force in the body is low,
and when the electrical force is built
up the health and strength are re-
newed.
In relieving pain, restoring health
and strength and prolonging life itself,
electricity is doing a wondrous work.

How to Prevent Gray Hair.

When gray hairs first begin TO ap-
pear, prompt action should be taken to
nourish the scalp and prevent their fur
ther spread Regular brushing. mas
sage of the scalp and occasional sham
pooling help to prolong the vitality of
the hair and preserve it's natural color.
But 1T is absolutely essential that these
methods be assisted with some form OF
vital nourishment which the decRytng
roots of the hair can absorb Numer-
Gus preparations for this purpose have
appeared on the market during the past
20 years. but many of them have prov
ed more harmful than otherwise. 1t is
now agreed by competent authorities
and those who have put it to the Sc
verest tests that HAYS HAIR HEALTH
is the safest and most effective prepar-
alton for restoring prematurely gray
hair, and furnishing the right food to
the scalp Its constantly increasing
sale and the fact that it has held its
great popularity for nearly a quarter
OF a century is proof that this scientific
preparation does the work to the entire
satisfaction of users. All reliable drug
gists recommend it and sell it in so

MOLINE

:. Third Avenue Track Conferences
Five officials Of. the Rock Island Rail
way company were in Moline yester-
day in conference with officials of the
Moline Plow company and Deere & Co.
relative to laying the switch track
along the north side Of Third avenue
from the Deere & Co. office to a point
just west of Sixteenth street. Right
to lay this track was recently granted
to the Moline Pillow company by the.
city council. The Moline Plow COM
pany desires assurance that they may
lay this track. The railway company
is willing to proceed and the visit was
to ascertain what stand Deere & Co.
proposes to take in the matter. All
of the Deere & Co. officials except
George Mixter are out of the city, and
there was no definite accomplishment.
The officials who are here: w S. Tins

of winter, but before noon the
snow was all gone. Pretty cool,
too, these mornings.
The Rally Day held by our Sun
day school was indeed quite a
success. A short time was spent
on the lesson, then Rev. Ora Ar
mold gave an opening address in
which he showed the importance
of attending the Sunday school
and what was to be gained. Then
we were favored with a special
song by the Burke sisters, after
which Col Cowden of Dayton was
introduced. He gave a very in
teresting talk and outlined the
standard set up for the U. B.
Sunday schools, showing how
they should be graded, etc. The
attendance of the whole school
was 1T and the collection some
thing over $11. A placard was
tackled on the wall at each class
with the name of class and tea
cher and a vacant place for the
attendance and collection of the
day, which was filled out. The
old mems or Bible class is in one
corner and the young mems class
in the opposite corner farthest
away. Now the collection of the
young mems class was $5.16 and
when the collection was marked
for the old mems class it looked
like $1.76 but the young men
took it for $6.76 and concluding
to beat them took up another col
lection, making theirs even ST.
Later they found out that the
collection of the old mems class
was only $1.76. The house was
nearly full and it looked as tho
all felt it was good to be there.
There ought to be that many or
more present every Sunday, as
there were quite a number of
families living near the church
that were not represented at all.

body that will come and get the
benefits of it. Will you come?

Many persons who are reasonably
Well informed on the Y. NJ. C. A..
work as that is exemplified in vari-
GUS institutions, classes and other ac-
tivities, are not clear in their minds
concerning the part which the State
Committee plays. The State Com.
mittee however, is the conserving
force Of the major portion of the Y.
Nj. c. A. work. An unfortunate lack
of funds prevents the Y NJ. c. A. in

at the rate commensurate with the
talents which the work demands AS
natural result positions of secre-
tarie2, educational secretaries, ETC.,
are continually open because as soon
as the young men have demonstrated
their ability in these lines, they are
called to other and more profitable
fields of work.
1t devolves, then, on the State Com
mittee to supply these places temper
arily and help them in every way in
getting the needed man to fill these
positions permanently.
To a large extent this new talent
is recruited from the College Y. NJ,

The opening of colleges and uni
versities throughout Ohio in the
early fall of the year is accompanied
by the opening Of Y. NJ. c. AS in
each such institution. The activity
of the Association in connection with
college work is scarcely appreciated
by the outsider. Last year $500 or
43 per cent Of the entire enrolment
CT Ohio colleges were members of the
Young Mems Christian Association
From this figure it is easy to see that
the Y. NJ. c. AS appeal to a far
larger class than those who are ex-
pecting to devote themselves to
church work.
Not only is Ohio the mother of
presidents. but it is also rapidly be-
coming the mother of state college

are now International student trav,

this Ohio has furnished state trav-

Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
The compliment in the last two
states is particularly marked, as
Massachusetts and Rhode Island
have long prided themselves on their
educational institutions
Overseeing this work in addition
to the Secretaries directly sent out
by the Y. N. C. AS are the heads of
several of the leading schools of the
state. Among these are DR., w. o.

W. B. Knickerbocker, a prominent

enthusiastic. booster for San Fran
cisco in the fight for congressional
approval of its proposed Panama-Pa-
cific exposition.
q believe that if the members OF
congress could be brought out to Cal

as they exist here taey would vote
solidly for San Francisco when the
exposition matter comes before them
next December" said Mr. Knicker-
booker.
1T is a human instinct to move
westward, and the great movement
toward western America Is just now
beginning. This is a great, marvel
Gus, new country. of which we in the
east know next to nothing.
There is no travel south. The ex-
position belongs here where the peo-
pie are coming. They will come to
the exposition through the canal and
then go back through this marvellous
western country. Many, however,
impressed by the marvellous re-
sources of California, will remain
here for good. This scenery, the
mountains, the forests and all the
rest of it is not approached by any
thing in Europe. Thousands of peo-
pie who now 90 to Europe would
rather come here if they knew what
is here. They are beginning to learn.
The exposition will do wonders for
the west. The interest of the coun-
try at large demands that the expo
sition be held here"
