DECIDE ON ORGANIZATION
Committee Named to Drawn Up Con-
stitution and Bylaws at Gather
ing Next Wednesday.

A tri-city poultry association with
the slogan Harmony and One Big
SHOW, was practically assured last
night when committees presenting the
poultry associations of Moline and
Rock Island and the fanciers of Dav-
export, met in this city at the optical
rooms OF DR.. o. NJ. Myers on Eigh-
teenth street. The plans for consoli-
dation progressed TO such a point that
a committee was named to draw I'D
the constitution and bylaws for the
new organization. This committee
includes W. H. Kelley and II. E. Kill
mer Of Rock Island, o. F. Freeman
and W. B. Spears Of Moline and two
from Davenport. who are TO be select
ed Monday by the poultrymen of the
neighboring city. W. J. Sweeney of
this city, himself an enthusiastic
chicken raiser, will act with the com
mittee in a legal capacity.
The committeeman will meet in
Rock Island Wednesday night to begin
work

SIGNS OF SICKNESS
Symptoms That May Alarm and
Yet May Not Be Serious.

A doctor. writing in London Answers,
says:
People often come TO ME nowadays
in very great dread, because they hear
ringing in the ears, see spots before the
eyes, or suffer from some other symp-
tom which they suppose to signify Sc
ri0Us disease.
Nearly always | find that something
very slight. or nothing at all. is the
matter; but | do not always succeed in
SO convincing my patients.
These groundless fears make a great
many people SO nervous and miserable
that an explanation Of few Of the
cOmmonest symptoms of i'll health may
be of some service.
Noises in the ear, as Of bells ringing,
whistles blowing, hooters sounding,
etc. most commonly arise from nerv-
Gus exhaustion. slight increase OF the
blood supply OF the brain. caused by a
ct Of hatulent indigestion. temporary
thickening Of part of the ear and merry
Gus strain All these are not Of the
least account and should cause no
alarm.
No doubt some really serious disease.
such as enlargement Of the heart mus
cles does sometimes exist. But every
one who feels alarm about his health
should remember that almost any dan
gerous illness will show itself unmis-
taksbly, not by one. but by half doz-
en- symptoms.
Spots before the eyes may signify
brain disease, but the chances are one
hundred thousand TO one that only
some very slight cause is responsible,
such as a torpid liver. WEAKNESS of the
nervous system, insufficient sleep or
some little congestion Of the brain.
Flashes in the eyes form another
source Of anxiety. and they are really
very startling But. while sometimes
due 10 eye disease. one Of the com
mOnest causes is catarrh of the stom-
acb.

the owner, whom he happened to nd
