'CASCARETS" MAKE
YOU FEEL GREAT
Gently cleanse your liver and
sluggish bowels while
you sleep.

Sick headache, biliousness, dizziness,
coated tongue, foul taste and foul
breath-always trace them to torpid
liver, delayed fermenting food in the
bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the in
testines, instead of being cast out of
the system, is reabsorbed into the blood.
When this poison reaches the delicate
brain tissue it causes congestion and
that dull, throbbing, sickening head
ache.
Salts, cathartic pills, oil and purga-
tive waters force a passageway for a
day or two-yes-but they don't take
the posons out and have no effect upon
the liver or stomach.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse and
regulate the stomach, remove the sour,
undigested and fermenting food and
foul gases, take the excess bile from
the liver and carry out of the system all
the constipated waste matter and poi
sons in the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep-a 10-cent box
from your druggist means your head
clear stomach sweet and your liver
and bowels clean and regular for
months (Advt)

Of these may cause a heated discussion

this case are representatives OF the
steam filters in the union which refused
to obey orders Of the executive council
and amalgamate with the International

filters claim that the action at the con-

FORCE ON
BRIEF VACATION
Nothing to Do Last Night but
Gaze at the Stars and
Discuss the Crops.
NOT AN ARREST is MADE
Police Court Conspicuous by Its Ab-
sence This Mornins-Rock
Island Now Ideal.

There is no need for Sapolio in
Rock Island today, for our fair city is
now spotless. Drug stores may brazen-
ly advertise fire sales and dispose of
their stock OF antiseptic solution, soap
and chloride of lime at cost, for the
is no longer in need or
cleansing. The ideal state of affairs
has been realized, for not a single ar.
rest was made last night, and this
morning the police court session was
q myth.
The town tippler took lay off and
in company with his wife INDUCED in
a w. c. T. L. regular meeting session,
where he learned from other lips than
those of his spouse that rum will eat
its way through three-inch oak plank
if given enough time. Members Of the
local order of Porch Climbers took a
furlough to pluck the splinters out
OF their battle-scarred shins and take
steps TO push legislation making it
compulsory to have veranda posts
carefully sandpapered before report
ing for duty.
EVERYBODY BEHAVES.
The wife heater lost his job and was
so jubilant over the prospect of va
cation that he decided to refrain from
utilizing his better half as a punching
bag and instead escorted her to a jit-
ney show and exploded a bag of pea
nuts two ways. In fact, the dove of
peace did not have a call during the
entire night and awoke this morning
greatly refreshed and prepared to
hover indefinitely.
II present conditions continue we
can dispense with the police force and
bark back to the halycon days when
the town constable. equipped with
pair of red suspenders and tin star,
instilled fear and CONSERVATION into
the heart OF the evildoer by merely
whispering, Look out there now, gosh
ding il. I'll arrest ye, I'll have the
law on We, by crfcky." And in the
meanwhile, knock wood.
