ONE MILLION DOLLARS FOR
A GOOD STOMACH
This Offer Should Be a Warning to
Every Man and Woman

This Offer Should Be a Warning to
Every Man and Woman
The newspapers and medical jour
nails recently have had much to say
relative to a famous millionaire's Of
fer of a million dollars for a new
stomach.
This great multi-millionaire was
too busy to worry about the condi-
ton of his stomach. He allowed his
dyspepsia to run from bad to worse
until in the end it became incurable.
His misfortune serves as a warn
ing to others.
Every one who suffers with dys-
pepsia for a few years will give ev-
erything he owns for a new stomach.
Dyspepsia is commonly caused by
an abnormal state of the gastric
juices, or by lack of tone in the walls
of the stomach. The result is that
the stomach loses its power to d.
gest food.
We are now able to supply certain
missing elements-to help to re-
store to the gastric juices their di-
gestive power, and to aid in making
the stomach strong and well.
We know that Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets are a most dependable rem
edy for disordered stomaehs, indiges-
ton and dyspepsia
We want You to try them and will
return your money IL you are not
more than satisfied with the result
Three sizes, % cents, so cents, and

Rock Island Representatives
Will Attend Chicago Meet
ing in City's Interest.
HAVE SUPPORT OF OTHERS
Means Much to Be On the Map Of the
Honk Ldne-Traversed by Thou
sands of Motor Enthusiasts.

To put Rock Island on the route
Of the proposed transcontinental
honk line from New York to the Pa
cif1c coast, representatives of organi-
cations in this city will journey to
Chicago to attend the meeting of the
Chicago Motor club to be held at the
Sherman house tomorrow. Mayor
Schriver will head the delegation and
will cast the vote as a representative
of the city. President H. E. Casteel
of the Rock Island club has named
E. H. Guyer as the representative OF
the club. President H. A. eleven
slime Of the Rock Island Business
Mems association will name a dele
gate from that organization. A move
ment was started this morning to Or
ganize motor organization among
the automobile owners of this city
so that another vote for Rock Island
could be made. w. A. Rosenfield Is
in Chicago now and will attend the
meeting. 1t is probable that he will
be armed with credentials that will
entitle him to vote.
PURPOSE OF MEETING.
| The purpose of the meeting is to
furnish the missing link in the ocean
tc-ocean route-that strip across the
state of Illinois, connecting the great
lakes and the Mississippi river. Two
routes have been uggested-one
with the western terminal at Clin-
ton and the other in Rock Island.
Davenport, Des Moines and other
Iowa boosters will work for Rock
Island, according to Mayor Schriver.
Moline is to be represented and East
Moline, too. Geneseo and other
cities along the proposed southern
route will have delegates at the
meeting. If successful in securing
the route through this city, it will
mean that hundreds of Automobiles
will come through here on tours. 1t
will put Rock Island on the motor
lists map and will be of great benefit
to the proprietors of garages.
TRAvERSED BY THOUSANDS.
The transcontinental route will be
the one that thousands of tourists
will traverse in 1915 to attend the
Panama exposition in San Francisco.

thought the measure illegal, and even
il the majority favored its passage,
he would be inclined to refuse to
spend the money. There Is Ques-
ton of legality of the appropriation,
but If the commission adopts the or
dinance, it will not be establishing a
precedent, for other councils have
done the same thing in times gone
by. The street and sewer fund is
exhausted and the contingent fund
has been used somewhat to keep up
necessary work. In all probability
the contingent fund will soon be ex-
hausted and there will be nothing to
fall back on.
TALKS OF CONDITIONS.
Mayor Schriver this morning said
that it is absolutely necessary that
the amount be appropriated and that
men be placed at work to clear cross
ings and prepare cutters leading to
catch basins. In some places the
crossings are nearly covered with ice
and some of it is more than foul
inches in thickness. AS soon as the
snow and ice have been melted, and
unless there is an exceedingly heavy
rain, the streets will be covered with
mud and filth. The fund is to be
used to clean the streets and alleys
if it is appropriated.

OF DORMITORIES
2. M. o. A. Buildings of Country
Contain Rooming Quarters
for Young Men. =
NONE IN LOCAL PLANT
Rock Island Structure Was Built Be-
fore Need for Private Quar-
tiers Was Admitted.

Interested Rock Islanders who are
making a study of Y. NJ. C. A. build
ings IN the hope that it will not be long
before this city is planning a new
structure, have found that dormitories
play no small part In the construction
OF the modern building. This feature
had not been introduced when the
present quarters Of the Y. NJ. c. A in
this city were erected and as a result
there are no dormitory quarters
Whatsoever in the building. At first, Of
course, the bedrooms were not missed
but Of late years It has come to be a
most lamentable fact that there were
none for many are the calls for a room
in the ~. NJ. G. A
IN OTHER CITIES.
The new building at Davenport pro
vides IS rooms, and these are kept I'LL
ed all the time. while many young men
are on the waiting list. The new build
ing which will be opened in a few days
at Moline has so fine rooms. which
viii accommodate nearly one hundred
men. Applications have been coming
in at such a rate that there is good
reason TO believe that all the rooms
will be filled gust as soon as they are
thrown open for occupation. Rock Is
land needs such provision for the
many young men who come here to
work in Offices, stores, and factories.
Almost daily. the local Y. M. c. A. has
calls from young men hunting rooms,
and II is not always easy to find salts
mitories in the building would go a
long way toward making the city a
safer place for young men.
FINE PLACE TO STAY.
With the attractive accommodations
offered by the modern Y. NJ. c. A.
building. there is little left for a man
to desire. A room in such a building.
with its swimming pool, baths, cafe,
reading. social. and recreation rooms,
all under careful supervision. and look
ed after by capable workers, is the
next best place 20 home for any man,
anu 10 Undoubtedly lut very Dcol place
for the young fellow away from home
The revenues from room rentals
amount to no small item in helping to
meet the expenses OF the association

With other cities making ample pro
vision for their young men, by erect
ing their fine Y. NJ. c. A. buildings. II
will not do for Rock Island to lag be
hind. Her place is among the fore
most in this as in other lines Of prom
inence, and she must move up TO the
front rank by doing as well for her Y
NJ. c. A. as other cities have done. The
right spirit for Rock Island is TO de
termine that what other cities have
done. Rock Island can do, and car

will be no stopping the march OF pro
gress.

After a thorough examination oi the Burnham-Kenuedy-Conway grouI of mining claims in the Rainy Hol' low country, Col. Conrad, iG com pany with his mining engineer, W A. Bryant returned to Haines lasl evening with the most favorable re ports Of the value and extent oi the properties.
 Col. Conrad has given out the in- formation that as result of the investigation he has purchased the entire group Of fifteen claims for which he has given a cash consider ation of approximately $350,o00.
 Nr. Bryaut's report on the prop critics is Of the most satisfactory kind Not only are the claims purchased or enormous value, but the entire country is highly mineral ized, containing copper, coal and other minerals in abundance.
 Iu the past several hundred tons of this ore have been brought down under the most trying dilfi- entities by wagon over a rough trail, and in spite Of the expense of crude methods or transportation has netted the operators a considerable profit.
 With this purchase by Col, Con rad, it means that the work ot de- vplopment win proceed and that railroad transportation Taust soon be installed, which will necessarily make Eaipes a city Of importance as a water terminal for the transfer of ore from that district.
 Col. Conrad with Nr. Bryant, win leave tomorrow for Skagway on the City Of Seattle Co complete the transfer ot the properties to his company. after which we may look forward to the speedy develop meut nf the Rainy Hollow country. -Hslnrs Pioneer Press.
