Of course there are other elements which enter into this price question. There's the cost of transportation; and the expense of handling; and the various middlemen's profits; and just now I suppose we're having to pay back to the beef packers the expense of their defense in the recent farcical ''trial they went through.

INSURANCE RISKS
AT OLD RATINGS
Report of Expert Inspectors as
to Condition in Rock Is
land Favorable.

The Western Underwater, a publi-
cation devoted 10 insurance, is author
ity for the statement that Rock Island
will remain in the third class as far as
insurance ratings go until another re-
adjustment is made in four years.
This is the resuIc OF the recent
inspection tour of +. r. Town
send and ]. d. Sunberry, insurance ex-
perts. They visited both Rock Island
and Moline within the last month and
found conditions very satisfactory in
this city but were not so well pleased
with Moline. AS a result OF dropping
Moline from class three TO class four,
Moline policy holders will have to pay
an aggregate OF about $4,000 or $780,,
600 addition each year on their va.
rious kinds of insurance. The Under,
writer says in part:
"E. X. Townsend and J. D. Sunber.
ry, inspectors for the Western Union,
have completed examinations of Rock
Island and Moline, ILL., Rock Island
is placed in the third class, while Mo.
line is in class four. The plan which
is being adopted in Rock Island OF
placing fire plugs in the center of the
blocks called forth favorable comment
from the inspectors"

NOT SALTS AND
PILLS. "CASCARETS"
If constipated, bilious headachy,
stomach sour, take q
CaScaret.

You men and women who can't get
feeling right-who have headache,
coated tongue, foul. taste and. foul
breath, dizziness. can't sleep, are bill
ious. nervous and upset, bothered with
a sick, gassy. disordered stomach, or
have backache and feel worn out.
Are you keeping your bowels clean
with Cascarets or merely forcing a
passageway every few days with salts,
cathartic or castor oil? This is i'm
portant.
Cascarets work while you sleep;
cleanse and regulate the stomach, re-
move the sour, undigested and fer
n'enting food and foul gases; take the
excess bile from the liver and carry
out of the system all the constipate1
waste matter and poison in the inter-
tines and bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will straighten
you out by morning a 10-cent box
from any drug store will keep your
stomach sweet; liver and bowels regu-
lar and head clear for months Don't
forget the children. They love Cas-
carrots because they taste good--do
good-never grippe or sicken.

New York, Sept. Jacob s. Col

there was new situation in the coun-

The south is democratic, OF course"
said MIR. Collins. And l expect 1t to
be democratic for many years 10 come.
but while We are in favor of democ-

the idea that We must vote for man
