Only One Genuine

these claim to be lust the same" as the
Kelley treatment.
All such claims are absolutely false.
The geraiuc Kelley remedies can be had

of which there are one or more in almost
every state.
We have irnitators, but no rivals. No

these in the State of Illinois and that is
at Dwight.

To Inspect Diaries. - City officials
have been brought to realize that they
must direct supervision over farms
from which milk is secured for deliv-
cry in Moline. This conclusion was
reached after a tour of inspection made
by Commissioner Eastman and Health
Inspector kemmerling Friday. This
work comes directly under charge of
the state board Of health, but it is not
feasible for this organization to han
die it For example, state inspector
visits a number of farms; conditions
are not up to a standard desired: rec.
concentrations are made and the in
spector departs. In many instances
the instructions are ignored and con-
ditons are not changed. The state
board Of health has a number of rules
governing sheds or barns in which
COWS are MIXED and houses in which
milk is kept. Hereafter the city will
see to it that the farms are sanitary
