HOSPITAL IN A TREEToP.
Medical Missionary's Plan For Curing
Consumption In Persia.

Medical Missionary's Plan For Curing
Consumption In Persia.
A cottage hospital for the treatment
of tuberculosis, each cottage to be
built in a treetop, was recently an
nounced as the plan of DR.. Arthur
Funk, a medical missionary of the
Presbyterian church, for eradicating
the disease IN Persia. DR.. Funk OBJ
tanned his idea from d. o. Steinberger,
a resident OF Urbana, o., whose home
is in the branches Of giant oak.
When the Steinberger home was con-
structed its owner was a victim Of
pulmonary trouble. He now claims to
be fully recovered and asserts that
his life eighty feet above ground is
responsible for his good health.
DR.. Funk and his wife are stationed
at Hamadan, a city of 5000 popuIa-
ton, about 200 miles west of Teheran
They are confident that the treetoE
plan will materially reduce the number
of tubercular cases in their district.

You can knock it out in short order
with DR.. Bells Pine-Tar-Honey and
H01V is the time. Get bottle before
it gets a good start.
DR.. Bells Pine-Tar-Honey goes
right to the cause of the cold and re-
moves it by cutting the gathering mu-
cous and killing the germs of cold"
Then it soothes and heals the irritated
parts, stopping the tendency to cough
almost instantly. There are no habit
forming drugs in DR.. Bells Pine-Tar-
Honey. Mostly nothing but real old
time pine-tar and delicious honey, sci
entihcally blended with sassafras, rhu-
barb and a few other such things.

Axle Company increases Holdings
Through deal contaminated yester-
day, the Bettendorf Axle company has
secured possession of large tract Of
land bordering on the river front in
Bettendorf, the newly acquired land
comprising all that west of Duck creek
! to the western limits of the town Of
Bettendorf, with the exception of two
small strips, which the concern did
not deem necessary for the enlarge
ment of It's business. The considera-
ton is not quoted but from the price
which land in that vicinity has been
selling of late, taken as a criterion,
the price is a good one.

charged Tompkins with seduction and
wanted to have him prosecuted.
Tompkins came to the station and the
warrant was served on him. The case
was set for hearing, but when Temp
kins came he stated that he would
marry the girl If this was agreeable
to her. She stated that she was will
ing so the man was sent to the court
house, secured a marriage license, and
the ceremony was performed. Then

When women first began to wash
clothes, they soaked them in stream and
beat them with a paddle. A hard job it
was then to get rid of dirt. (
Then someone found that fat and I've
made substance which, mixed with hot
water and rubbed hard, cleaned things
pretty well. This was soap.
Finally, came Fels-Naptha.
Fels-Naptha isn't simply good soap;
it's different altogether from soap as you
know it.
Fels-Naptha marks as big an advance
over soap in its usual meaning, as ordinary
soap itself did over the paddle.
Ordinary soap calls for much hard
rubbing and plenty of boiling water to take
away dirt Some kinds of stains, greases
and blood it simply won't remove.
But Fels-Naptha cleans without hard
rubbing and you don't use hot water at adj.
With FelS-Naptha all you need is cool
or lukewarm water.
Think how this cuts all the terror out
of washday.

MOLINE

Suit for Insurance Dlsmissed.-Four
insurance companies, made joint de-
PENDANTS in suit brought by Haffner
& Co. OF st. Louis, growing out Of the
fire year ago last October when the
Leechnecht block in East Moline was
burned to the ground, are relieved of
the responsibility of settling fire losses
as result of a decision rendered Mon
day in a st. Louis court. Haffner &
Co. operated a branch clothing store
in East Moline in the Leechnecht
block, and their entire stock was con-
sumed in the fire. Insurance carried
on this stock in the four companies
amounted to $1,000. The companies
refused to settle the claims against
them, alleging that the fire was of in
cendiary origin. Suit wes brought
against the companies by Haffner &
Co. in the circuit court in st. Louis,
though dispositions have been taken in
East Moline and Rock Island. The
presiding judge Monday took the case
from the jury and dismissed the suit.
The origin of the fire has never been
definitely established, though the in
surance companies involved are firm
in their original contentious, and they
are still offering a reward for arrest
and conviction of the party or parties
who set fire to the building w. G.
Baker Of East Moline was one of the
associate attorneys retained by the in
surance companies.

Ten More Recruits Required.-Cap-
tain NJ. H. Lyon and members of Com
pany F are putting forth their best
efforts to recruit the company to the
end that the enlisted number of men
at least will meet the minimum re-
quirement of the state. If the COM
pany is not up to standard in the mat
ter of membership by March Is it will
be mustered out of service. Two re-
cruits have Joined the company and
four or five have promised to join
when the next drill Is held. AT least
10 recruits are needed to bring the
ranks up to the required standard
Every member is scouting and 1t is
thought that the ranks will be filled
The annual inspection will be held the
latter part of this month or early in
April, and there is no danger that
Company F will be at fault In the
matter of efficiency. After this win
ter the expense of maintaining the ma
tional guards will be borne by the
government, relieving the state of
large expense. 1t is predicted that
after the government takes charge of
the companies. the state will pass a
law providing pay for the members
who attend drill. If the men are
recompensed for their services there
will be no difficulty experienced in
maintaining company, it is argued.
