MOLINE

Saloon Is Robbed.-By breaking the
plate glass in the rear door of the

prietor, burglars gained entrance to
the place sometime after midnight
and made away with what change
had been left in the cash register on
closing. The saloon is located at

has never been slow to respond when
called on to give of his time or energy
when plans for the common veal
needed active workers to bring them
to consummation.
MoIiner Gets Post.-George E. Holt,
former Moliner, now in Washington,
D. c., with his wife, has been named
as vice consul general at Barcelona,
Spain, according to word which has
reached Moline friends. The BARGE
Iona post is an important one in view
of the fact that the bulk of commerce
between the United States and Spain
is via Barcelona, and also because
the entire American consular service
| in Spain-consisting Of six full con
sulates and II agencies-is under
jurisdiction of the Barcenola post.

THE END OF TUBERCULOSIS
Value Of Early Diagnosis.

BY DR.. CHARLES L MINOR
In any given case of tubercu-
losis a sensible doctor can usu-
ally tell you whether there is
any chance Of getting well. but
IT is worth remembering that
quite q number Of very bad and
apparently hopeless cases do at
times recover when it seemed
impossible for them to do so.
Thus, however bad the outlook.
It is sensible not to give up hope,
but to start right in to make the
bravest fight you can.
In any case your chance Of get
ting well depends largely on the
earliness of the discovery of the
trouble and the grit and the
courage of the patient, and a
brave and determined patient
with bad trouble often stands a
better chance OF recovery than a
silly, weak willed one with
much less trouble.

Little Girl, Why do You?

Little girl you look so small;
Don't you wear any clothes at all'
Don't you wear ''shimmy shirt?
Don't you wear petty skirt
Just your corset and you hose?
Are those all your underclothes?
Little girl, when on the street,
You appear to be all feet.
With your dress so very tight,
You surely are an awful sight,
Nothing on to keep you warm,
Crazy just to show your form.
Little girl. you won't live long,
Just because you dress all wrong.
Can't you wear more underclothes
Than your corset and your hose''
After while. | do believe,
That you'll dress like mother Eve.
