WAR AND BUSINESS.

There Is nothing much the matter
with the business OF this country to-
day except that we have all been
watching the great war instead of at
tending to business. We have waited
wondering what would happen to us,
instead OF going ahead making condi-
lions what they should. be, says the
Quincy Journal.
The novelty of the war is wearing
OF, its effects upon us are beginning
to be understood, and there is a slow
but sure revival of business all along
the line.
Our great business men are realiz-
ing that, instead of being in disaster.
We are now face to face with the great
est business opportunity in the his
tory Of this country. We would not
take advantage of nations in trouble,
but the worlds business must go on,
and this country is the only one that
can and must take it up.
John Wanamaker, the great New
York and Philadelphia merchant, and
Cyrus II. X. Curtis, the great Phila-
delphia publisher, have planned large
increase in advertising for the fall and
winter, believing that now is the
best time to get new business.
Il do not see how we can fail to be
prosperous" says Curtis in an inter
view
MY great hope. indeed l may say
my firm belief, today" says Wanna
maker, lis that this condition is only
temporary. We can shorten it, and
il is our duty not TO talk down but to
talk up"
c. F. Jamison, sales manager OF the
Saxon Motor company, predicts: "A
record-breaking year in the automo-
bile industry is under way simply be-
cause public confidence has been re-
stored in the ability of American bust
ness to weather any storm and to
come out with colors flying"
Business conditions in the Pacific
coast territory are reported already
better than usual at this time of year.

II is time that the trance we have

THE BRIDGE PROJECTS.

Rock Islands much needed south
west road Tuesday was set several
years farther into the future as a re-
suit of the failure of the bond PROPOSE
ton for the lower Rock river bridge
TO pass. Had Moline supported Rock
Islands project as consistently as
Rock Island supported Moline's in the
Colona bridge the result might have
been different. even though there were
other sections OF the county which de-
veloped strong opposition. the chief
reason being. apparently that they
would not be directly benefited.
However, it is no time to cry over
split milk or to harbor i'll will orer
tho outcome. The southwest road and
the lower bridge are bound to come
eventually, and when the time seems
ripe to again bring the project for
ward this city will be In position to
ask Moline's cooperation, which the
Pillow city cannot fail to give and
retain its self respect
Rock Island should be glad that the
Colona bridge was given a majority
here. because the improvement is ur-
gently needed and will make for the
growth and development OF the three
cities on this side of the Mississippi
river. The lower bridge may be urged
at any time on the same grounds and
with equal soundness of argument.
However. there is one thing that
must be done before n new road is at
tempted. The present road. which
serves as the sole entrance to the city

sessment of frontage. public subscrip-
ticn or otherwise. The only argument
against the lower bridge and road ad-
vanced in the recent campaign which
had any merit was the one against
providing other roads while the one
in existence was in such bad shape.
l. may be true that the city has no
legal right to tax its people to build
roads through South Rock Island or
to build and maintain roads and
bridges within the village limits of
Milan, and it may appear from this
end of the line that the city, in spend
ing hundreds of thousands of dollars
to improve its own streets for public
use, in keeping up the Milan bridges
in in supplying. together with Moline
and East Moline, three-fourths of the
money raised under the Tice law for
the building Of country roads. is doing
all that can be reasonably expected
of it. The fact remains. however,
that residents of the lower end OF the
country and transients who travel
over Twelfth or Ninth street south OF
the municipal limits blame the city
for conditions and they always will
until the cause of complaint is re-
moved.
1t is up TO Rock Island to bring
about in some manner the improve
ment of the road from here to Milan
and then the city will be in position to
go after the shorter cut to the lower
end Of the county and will have RICH.

Bet the republican managers are
kicking themselves for having hest
tated at the beginning OF the cam
.paign to again hang out that old tariff
bait. II took some time for them TO
get their nerve up % spring it, and
they would not have tried it even then
If there had been anything in sight
that looked like an issue. for they felt
that the public had been duped too
often and too recently to rise for the
lure this time. However. it is not
likely that the republican managers
will ever again make such a ridicu-

PROVES WIRELESS MARVEL
Professor Abruzzi Receives Messages
With Small Portable Apparatus.

Milan, Nov. 5.-Professor Dominica
Argentieri Abruzzi, a priest, whose
recent claim to having invented small
portable wireless apparatus capable
OF receiving messages from high tow
er stations at 1880 miles distance,
raised storm of controversy in Italy,
triumphantly demonstrated the gen.
uineness OF his invention today.
At the British embassy in Rome, in
the presence of a large gathering of
public men and scientific experts. he
gave a series OF astonishing expert
ments. A simple switch attached by
an ordinary domestic electro cord to
his pocket apparatus was used for in
terrupting wireless communications
transmitted by the London foreign
Office. He also picked up others from
Paris and from war vessels out at
sea.

THE NEW BANKING LAW.

Grosyenor Dave, in his paper, the
Federalist, presents a statement by
George E. Roberts. till recently direc-
tor of the mint. on the present banking
law. Mr.. Roberts says:
The federal reserve banks are pri-
marily bankers banks. and their bust
ness will be chiefly with their member
banks, carrying their final reserves
and rediscounting paper for them.
They are, however. authorized to do
some business outside of the member
banks, to-wit: To deal in foreign ex-
change, in government, state and mu-
nicipal bonds and to buy domestic pa
per on the market. These privileges
are to enable them TO have some earn
ing power Independent of their men,
Der banks and also TO afford the means
of influencing the importation and ex-
portation of gold.
They will receive no deposits except
from their member banks and the
United States government. Presum-
ably. after the system is fully estab-
iished. the government funds will be
kept for the most part with them
These banks will have the right to
issue notes to member banks, in pay
ment OF deposits or in rediscounting
commercial paper. These notes Will
be obligations Of the United States.

United States notes. but the same in
substance. and in issuing them the
reserve bank will deposit as security
for the same. with the agent of the
federal reserve board. an amount of
approved commercial paper equal to
the amount of notes it receives. In
other words. the new currency is is
sued by tho government 10 tins reserve
banks. and All ordinarily rsss from
the reserve banks TO the local banks,
as they may have demands for 1t from
the public.
There has been a very old contro-
versy in this country over the question
whether the currency should be issued
by the banks or the government. On
the one side it has been contended
that The issue OF anything that was TO
serve as money was, like the act OF
coinage. an attribute of sovereignty,
and of such vast Importance that II
should not he confded to private in
stiuiions dciue business for profit, and
that all money should be issued by
the government direct TO the people.
The banking business and the bust

ried on by means OF bank credit, and
when lawful currency is wanted IL is

operations. The demand for money is
not directed TO the government and

eminent undertakes all OF the func-
tons OF banking The demand for
currency falls upon the banks, and
must be satisfied through the banks.
So. while It is admitted that the gov

cable method OF issue IS through the

Brady.M.D.

A subscriber wants to know why
we devote so much attention to the
mouth and the teeth in these Health
Talks. She asks us to discuss rather
the more frequent ailments of the
stomach and liver and skin. Further
more she declares that she never re-
members when she wasn't suffering
with bad teeth, but that her stomach
and liver are the things she is inter
ested in now Her teeth are all gone.
Her stomach and liver are still right
there after every meal and between
meals
Note that the patient has had de-
cayed teeth for many years. No ex-
ouse in that, but she has had them
and suffered everything from them.
She says so herself. Everything.
That includes some things she may
not suspect. Her stomach trouble,
for instance. and her liver complaint,
too, who knows. The liver is patient,
ng-suffering organ, but it will COM
plain in due course.
The Truth is Unpleasant.
We are almost afraid to say how
much preventable illness should be
attributed to an unclean mouth. 1t is
a hard thing to say even in print; II
is much harder TO say to the patients
face. The first place a doctor looks
when in search of the cause of illness
is the mouth. Doctors have been look
ing in the mouth for many centuries,
and overlooking some of the dreadful
things they have seen there. Nova

health is at stake. 1t is delicate
thinz 10 tell a patient his mouth is not
clean. but there are tactful ways OF
doing it. One way is to urge him to
see his dentist and have his teeth put
in good condition for a course of treat
ment Another way is to make bac-
terial cultures from his oral cavity
and demonstrate that it is a veritable
garden of microbes.
Some of the Penalties Paid.
In children diseased tonsils are often
directly caused by decayed primary
teeth. Modern, well trained dentists
no longer say it doesn't pay to fill the
milk teeth. 1t pays big dividends. A
child with perfectly sound teeth rare

primary teeth. Indigestion is another
common result

without an Introductory chill, are fire.
quently traced down to a pocket of
pus IN chemically infiamed gums. In
sidlous joint disease called metabolic
arthritis or rheumatoid arthritis is
certainly one result of a neglected
mouth.
So remote a symptom as chronic
dIarrhoea has many times occurred
as a result of the 24-hour dosage of
poison absorbed and swallowed from
a diseased mouth each day.
The reason we harp on this subject
is that IL is too commonly ignored.
Our province is strictly the effort to
prevent disease by teaching readers
TO recognize the cause. When you have !
cleaned up a diseased mouth you have !
stopped a stream of poison ut its
source.

Fire a Grand Success.

And so the fire ragged while thou
sands of Rochester men, women and
children looked on in fearsome awe as
the string of structures burned. A
long line of flaming buildings stand

darkness, a huge pile of business
blocks enveloped in a golden mass of
shooting sheets of shimmering de-
struction; a pyre for the ancient land
marks of an early epoch in local his
tory-such was the centerpiece of the
scene upon which the citizens gazed
as the fruitless fight was fearlessly
fought by the hose-handling handful
of firemen. The fire was a grand sight
when 1t reached its height. The sid
ing burned away, the buildings were
seen as one continuous, seething in
ferno. Great tongues of flame leaped
high towards the heaven seeking to
poision with their fury the pillows of
smoke and send them on and away to
carry further destruction elsewhere
Streaks of livid light shot through the
pail of blackness which hung over
head and outlined the rolling gaseous
clouds in grim and CHASTITY figurations.
Soon the structures stood like gaunt
spectres of their former selves, their
massive oak timbers holding up and
standing forth like huge skeletons lash
