CAUSE FOR ALARM.
Loss of Appetite or Distress After
Eating a Symptom That Should
Not Be Disregarded.

Loss of Appetite or Distress After
Eating a Symptom That Should
Not Be Disregarded.
Appetite is Just a natural desire
for food. Loss of appetite or stom-
ach distress after eating indicate in
digestion or dyspepsia. Over-eating
is a habit very dangerous to per-
sons good general health.
1t is not what you eat but what
you digest and assimilate that does
you good. Some of the strongest,
heaviest and healthiest persons are
moderate eaters.
There is nothing that will cause
more trouble than a disordered
stomach and many people daily con-
tract serious maladies simply
through disregard or abuse of the
stomach.
We urge all in Rock Island who
suffer from any stomach derange-
ment, indigestion or dyspepsia,
whether acute or chronic, to try Rex
all Dyspepsia Tablets, with the dis
tinct understanding that we will re-
fund their money without question
or formality, IL after reasonable use
of this medicine they are not per
| fectly satisfied with the results. We
recommend them to our customers
every day, and have yet to hear OF
any one who has not been benefited
by them. We honestly believe them
to be without equal. They give very
prompt relief aiding to neutralize
the gastric juices, strengthen the d.
gestive organs, to regulate the bow
els and thus to promote perfect nu
triton and eradicate all unhealthy
symptoms.
We urge you to try 25 cent boz
Of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, which
gives Is days treatment. At the
end Of that time, your money will
be returned to you If you are no
satisfied. OF course in chroni,
cases length of treatment varies Fo,
such cases we have two larger size
which sell for so cents and 81. Re

Congressman Mondell on Parcels Post

The agitation for the establishment of a parcels post under which
parcels weighing up to eleven pounds can be transported thru the
mails has been continuous for years. While there has been con-
siderable demand for the establishment of such a system it has been
objected to by many on the ground that it will seriously interfere with
|and disarrange the carriage of letters and newspapers, for which the
post office was established.
Merchants in smaller towns and cities are also strongly Directing
Ito the establishment of a parcels post in the belief that it would aid
fhe mail order houses and seriously interfere with their trade.
In his recent message to Congress the President recommended
Fhe establishment Oft parcels post confined to the rural free delivery
routes. This limited parcels post was recommended because the
President believed it could be established and maintained without
very great expense, whereas a general parcels post would involve a
VERY great outlay, which perhaps might not be justified at a time
when the post Office department does not pay expenses.
have been inclined to the opinion that the local merchants are
thru the establishment of q parcels post.
Surely one does not have far to go to seek for reasons for the
demand for such a service, as all know who nave had any exper-
fence with the hight believe unduly and unjusti6ably high-ex-
|press rates which prevail, particularly in our western country. How
lever, a general parcels post s not a possibility at this time owing to
THE opposition to it and the fear of its great cost. On the other
hand, a parcels post limited to rural free delivery routes would not do
much good in Wyoming as we have only seven such routes in the state.
The establishment of parcels post over other routes would, in my OPP
non, be of considerable benefit, as it would enable patrons of the
star routes to secure transportation Of packages not exceeding eleven
late.
have therefore introduced a bill which extends the plan pro-
posed by the President 30 as to include star routes as we'll as free de-
livery routes.

Bad Storm Through Nebraska

Tuesdays train brot no mail, ex-
cept a few letters from the West.
The reason for this was that all
the U. P. trains were showed in
down in Nebraska, where they
had experienced one of the sever
est storms Sunday and Monday
that ever visited that region.
Telegraph and telephone wires
we're down and all communication
for the west had to come via Kan
a City and Denver. All ives,
bound trains were annuled Mon
day and the first train from the
east was No. 5 at 9,45 p. N. Tues
day. In consequence of this
blockade the mail yesterday WAS
unusually heavy. Trains are run
ming on the U. P. but none of
them on schedule time.

Stoyer's Private Car

W. 81. Stoyer, who is ir :ne m
ploy of the 8. & E. Ry. Co, as
carpenter, enjoys the luxury of a
private car, bearing the number
1924. He had it sttached to No 2.
going South Monday morning and
went to Encampment where he
will do some carpenter work on
the round house at that place. We
did not see Mr.. Stoyer's car but if
we are to judge from his descrip-
ton it must be quite palatial. 1t
has been insinuated in some quart
that No. 324 was just an ordinary
box car, fitted up as a carpenter
shop, with a sleeping bunk and a
cook stove and that the chef is
Mr.. Stoyer himself. We refuse
to put any confidence in such an
insinuation for we have never
known Mr.. Stoyer to be guilty of
Misrepresentation. At any rate,
even if it is a box a it must be a
very comfortable one.

Promise Of Big Ice Crop

The cold weather of the past
week insures an excellent ice crop.
1t had began to form and was
making good prgress when the
cold Norther dropped down on us
Sunday night and sent the mer-
curry down to rs degrees below
Monday morning. All day Mon
day the thermometer registered
zero or a degree or two below that
point. This frigid weather will
insure thick ice of a good quality.
Ice houses have been cleaned out
all over town and preparations
made for storing the harvest
which will begin next Monday
morning. There will be several
crews of harvesters in the field
and there will doubtless be a
large quantity of ice put up from
the two or three ice ponds avail
able along the river, but the best
ice will be that gathered from the
ice pond on the Crawford slough.

Eliminating Agricultural
Land from Forest Reserves

Washington, Dec, 3lst,-The
President has signed a proclama-
ton eliminating 4,9O7 acres from
the Sundance National Forest,
Wyoming.
These changes are the result of
a careful field examination made
by the U. =. Department of Agri-
culture in pursuance Of a general
plan for the correction of all Ma
tional Forest boundaries.
The areas eliminated we're found
upon examination to be either val
liable chiefly for grazing purposes
or 30 heavily alienated as to rem
der administration by the Forest
Service impracticable. The lar
gest elimination comprises an area
of 2,400 rcres at the extreme north
end of the Black Hills Division.
The unsppropriated portions of
the lands eliminated by this pro-
olamation will be restored to set
Element and entry after they shall
have been advertised in the local
papers by the Secretary OF the In
terror.
