Your Appliance did all you claim for

other remedies and got no relief, and
shall certainly recommend it to
friends, for we surely owe it to you.

common complaint in the large towns,
where natures laws are more apt to
be disregarded.
"All of this nervous, debilitated
trouble" said one of the demonstrat-
ors, 'is due principally to imperfect
digestion, which is sup-rinduced by
the strain of modern city life. There is
too much hastily eaten food.
Most people. however, are not ser
iously affected with imperfect diges-
tion," continued he, they are just
loggy and nervous and easily tired.
They feel worn out after a little ex-
ertion and are moody and depressed.

ARE SURE ENOUGH
STRANGE THINGS
INTHOSER RECALLS
With Pleasant Prospects of
Names Being Invalidated
by the Score.
NO AUTHORITY FOR MANY
While Others Are Ineligible and Some
Have Fictitious Addresses
Some Do Not Exist.

That Mayor H. NJ. Schriver and Com
missioner Archie Hart will not have
great deal of difficulty in knocking out
the recall petitions filed against them,
is the opinion of those who have ex-
amined the documents which are now
on file in the city clerks Office. Evil
IDENTIFY the system that was employed
in getting the names was, in some in
stances at least, poor, for there are
countless mistakes, all of which will
go towards rendering the petitions in
valid. For instance, there are dozens
of names repeated, the signer appar
emily never refusing to attach his
name to a petition which came within
reach. Then, too, there are a consid-
cradle number of names signed accom-
panied by an tx" and the Inscription,
his mark" Inasmuch as there are
quired by law, they are regarded as
useless.
MANY SIGNED BY ONE.
Cases are frequent where whole
sheets of the petition may be regarded
invalid through having been filled in
by one person. The law specifies that
the signature, the address and the date
must be in the handwriting of the
signer. On many pages the addresses
and dates have been filled in. in what
is Enthusiastically the handwriting of
one person There are even instances
of dozen names in a row appearing
in Identical handwriting.
MANY NEW RESIDENTS.
The petitions also attempt to prove
that there are many new residents of
the city. Names are given from ad-
dresses at which there is either no
house located or where someone else
resides. One man in going over the
list found he had a neighbor on either
, side of him whom he had never seen
| in other words, someone had signed a
name and given either a fictitious or a
wrong address. These names can be
proven invalid.
Another very general thing is a sig.
nature which is illegible. 1t seems
that there are enough of these alone
10 invalidate the petitions There will
be scrawl of some sort in the column
for the names and then an address.
These have been traced in many cases
and it is invariably found that the
place does not exist
In addition, there are many names
which on their face appear to be all
/ right but which have addresses thai
would locate the houses in the middle
/ of the river or out of the CITY limits
entirely. There are half a dozen with
South Rock Island numbers.
EVIDENCE OF FORGERY.
There also seems to be some evi
lence of forgery of names. A dozer
have been found on the petitions which
have been disclaimed by their owners
and several of these have made
