PAST FIFTY? YOU
need "CASCARETS"
What Glasses are to Weak Eyes
-Cascarets are to Weak
Bowels.

Most old people must give TO the
bowels, some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
ton IS perfectly natural It is Just
as natural as It is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never so
active as youth. The muscles are less
elastic. And the bowels are muscles
So all old people need Cascarets.
One might as well refuse 20 aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid 20 weak bowels The bow
ele must be kept active. This IS
important at all ages, but never 50
much as at 90,
age Is no; a time for harsh physics.
Youth may constantly whip the bowels
into activity But a lash can't be
used every day, What the bowels of
the old need Is = gentle and natural
tonic, One that can be constantly
used without k-Em. The only such
tonic is Cascarets and they cost only
10 cents per haz At any drug store.
They work while you sleep.

CHEESEMAN'S HAVE
FIRST FALL OPENING
Fastest Growing Moline Store is Wis.,
tied by Many Rock Island Wis
tors This Week.

Visitors who wend their way 20
Cheeseman's store on Fifteenth street,
Moline, are greeted by a sight worth
seeing, for the decorations are as
fine as any seen in this section of
the country for some time. Special
arrangements were made weeks ago
10 make this first fall opening for
this store, as suspicious as possible.
The decorations are all beautifully
accomplished through the generous
use of foliage typical of autumn.
Autumn leaves and branches are hung
in festive style throughout the store
and in and about the window displays,
d. +. GrOssman has spared no eX-
pense TO make this opening one OF
great Importance and that he has ac-
Complished the results desired is very
evident. II might be mentioned that
the Grossman store is one of a chain
OF several stores, this being the only
store In a small city. They opened
their doors for business last March
and have been consistent and always
fair advertisers. The success which
they have enjoyed shows clearly that
their high standard OF doing business
has been the means OF attracting
countless tri-city shoppers. The store,
as told in these columns some weeks
ago, has been enlarged and several
new lines added TO the already com
prehensiye showing of garments for
women. Ia addition 10 the fur de-
partment, frocks, house dresses and
kimonos are some Of the new lines.
Many Rock Island people went to Mo

this store, for many friends of

CARLOADS ON THE WAY

lance Below Davenport but APP
parently is Lost.

Second avenue paving operations
are being seriously delayed owing to
the fact that the supply OF crushed
rock has been exhausted and ship
ments which have been expected daily
have failed to materialize. AdviCes
from Linwood, the source Of supply,
are 10 the effect that the rock is now
enroute for Rock Island, and should

The consignment has apparently been
lost in the shuttle, but II is expected
that the missing stone supply will be
traced in a very short time, and the
present famine made naught but
memory.
The Tri-City Railway company has
been affected as well as the paving
contractors. but il is understood that
the railway company has now receiv-
ed a supply and the work will proceed
without further interruption. The de
lay to the street car company did not
seriously affect their operations. and
the contractors expect TO proceed with
the work by tomorrow at the latest.
