WILL NOT FIGHT REMOVAL.
LsGrand People Give Up Idea Of Try
ina to Force College to Stay.

People Of LeGrand who are opposed
to the removal o: Palmer College to
Albany, Mo-, have given up the idea
Of trying to prevent the college going
away by starting proceedings in court.
The plan Of making application for an
injunction to prevent the trustees
from taking the college from LeGrand
has been quite generally discussed and
| talked about by LeGrand people, but
no steps have been taken to do so yet
and it Is not at all likely now that they
will do SO. 1t is probable that there is
enough sentiment in the town against
the removal of the college to give any
move Of this kind moral support, but
there has been a lack of leadership
There has been no one who was will
ing to take the initiative and assume
the responsibility. This is the princi-
pal reason why no action has been be-
/ gun in court.

A physician says: Until last fall
used to eat meat for my breakfast and
suffered with Indigestion until the meat
had passed from the stomach.
Last fall be gan the use of Grape
Nuts for breakfast and very soon found
could do without meat for my body
got all the nourishment necessary from
the Grape-Nuts and since then I have
not had any indigestion and am feeling
better and have increased in weight.
"Since finding the benefit ! derived
from Grape Nuts have prescribed the
food for all my patients suffering from
indigestion or overlooking and also
for those recovering from disease
where I want food easy to take and
certain to digest and which will not
overtax the stomach.
Il always find the results look for
when I prescribe Grape Nuts. For eth
ical reasons please omit my name"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.
The reason for the wonderful amount
Of nutriment, and the easy digestion OF
| Grape-Nuts is not hard to find.
| In the first place, the starchy part OF
the wheat and barley goes thru various
processes Of cooking. to perfectly
change the starch into dextrose or
grape-sugar, in which state 1t Is READY
! to be easily absorbed by the blood.
The parts in the wheat and barley
which Nature can make use OF Tor re-
building brain and nerve centres arc
retained In this remarkable food, and
thus the human body is supplied with
| the powerful strength producers, 20

Grape Nuts each day for a week or 10
days

planned in the little book, THE Road to

one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true. and full Of human

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1912-11-27

One of the largest, best equipped
and finest laundries in the three cit
les is the Iowa Steam laundry, known
as The Laundry of Quality" located
at 209-215 East Third street, Dayen-
port
In this plant the most modern and
uP-to-date machinery obtainable has
been installed, and the equipment,
coupled with the excellent service and
the quality of the work turned out, has
enabled this concern to build up a
following second to none.
In the four years Of its existence in
Davenport the growth of the Iowa
Steam Laundry company has been al
most incredible. the business having
more than trebled. Aug. II, 1909, this
concern started in business with a
down stairs room, containing $500
square feet of floor space. At the
present time the company Is using
the entire building and the adjoining
building. both floors and utilities 49,
600 square feet of floor space. The
laundry has frontage of so feet.
A little over a year ago the entire
laundry was remoc eled and equipped
With the finest and latest modern ma
1 chinery. Everything possible was
procured to better the working con.
dItions and enable the company to
I give the public the finest laundry ser.
/ vice possible ana the immense vol.
ume of business which this concern
now enjoys is evidence of the results
accomplished.
One feature which has met with
popular favor is the mending of gar
Iients of all kinds which is done al
4 the plant. The bachelor. who sends
his socks to this laundry will have
them returned to him nicely darned
as a darning machine, the only one
in the three cities, fulfills this house

solutely free of charge.
