And They pidn.. Exercise.

William VI. Evarts, who lived until
he was nearly ninety. said he kept his
health by never taking exercise. The
celebrated DIR. William George Mead.
who lived to the surprising age OF rs
years, spent nearly all of his time liz
the open air and played little golf.
DIR. Mead used TO drink two or three
quarts OF water every day. and perhaps
there is suggestion in that. Old Du-
bois, who lived in Canada for the bet
ter part Of 40 years on the north
shore OF Lake Erie, never worked and
never took exercise. He spent seventy
five years of his life fishing with hook
and lire and ate nothing but baked ap-
pies and milk and brown bread and IN
saited butter. Perhaps you can live
that long il you do nothing but fish
and eat what old Dubois did. But take
notice that these long livers never ex-
ercised.-New York Telegraph.

REGAIN TO SPEAK HERE
AGAINST THE SALOON

Frank Regain of Rockford, who spoke
in Rock Island recently against the
saloon, has been secured for an adj
dress at a mass meeting to be held
Monday evening, Feb. 2S, it is an
nounced by Rev. J. II. Miller, presi-
dent of the Local Option league. Speak
ers for the church of the city will be
announced during the week. II is the
intention TO have the subject discussed
from nearly every pulpit in the city
on that day.
Speaking at the United Presbyterian
church last evening. George W. Wood,
manager of the local option campaign
in this city. declared that it costs more
than 100000 to operate the 63 saloons
in the city for one year and he de-
clared the profits would raise the total
contributed by the people to the sup
port of the saloon to nearly twice this
figure. He said the city can get along
without the $4,000 revenue which the
saloon pays into its treasury each
year.

An oversight IN printing notices for

FIRST A REAL DAY
OF REGISTRATION
Town Clerk Gould Would Have
Election Judges Record New
Names March IT.

Instead of spending but a few min
utes at the polling places on the first
day OF registration for the township
election this spring the judges of cleo
tion may PUT in the entire day, or so
much Of it as is necessary to secure
the names of ali women and others
desiring TO vote. The first registra-
ton day is March II.
George VI. Gould, town clerk. today
stated that in his judgment The cleo
lion boards vii. do well to give the
women an opportunity to register on
the first day and thus avoid the grand
rush which will otherwise be newt
able on the second day.
Il intend 10 call a meeting OF the
judges soon" said Mr.. Gould, ito see
what they think of the matter. In the
meantime / hope TO secure an opinion
from the attorney general OF the state
in regard to certain points which are
not quite clear. In addition TO decid-
ing about what shall be done on the
first registration day we will have a
school of instruction and then the day
before election. as was done last
year. a card of instructions will be
sent to each judge.
The law requires that the judges
shall be on hand az the polling places
at a. m. on the first day OF registra-
ton but IL does not say how long they
shall remain on duty, and it has been
the custom for them TO make up the
new poll books from the old ones in
advance and so remain in session only
a few minutes. This spring. however.
there will be much extra work TO do
because a great many women whose
names are not on the old books will
wish to vote. Judges are not suppos-
ed. under the law TO secure the old
books in advance and in my opinion
this spring they should not be issued
by the city clerk till the morning of
day. That would make it
necessary TO make up the books as far
as possible after o'clock and would
insure the presence of the judges at
the polling places for the greater part
Of the day.
"Of course this is up to the judges
themselves. but / mean 20 find out
their opinions and help them deter |
mine in advance on a uniform line of !
action"

MANY REFORMERS
HELD INSINCERE
DIR. Boetcker Declares 95 Per
Cent Deal With Gases In
stead of Causes.
CALLS HIMSELF A BUILDER
Toledo Philosopher Delivers Many
Pointed Sayings in Address at
Moline Theatre.

Ninety-fiye per cent of reformers are
trying to treat cases instead of causes
and a great many of them do not really
desire reform at all, because it would
destroy their occupation and make it
necessary for them to go to work.
This was the statement by DR.. w. j.
H. Boetcker of Toledo last evening in
his lecture at the Moline theatre. The
doctor said he was not reformer. He
classed himself as builder.
There are four sides to a square
deal, but the side which we are most
concerned in is the inside. The home,
the man as he is, not as he appears to
the world. Laws do not reach the in
side in either case.
To make home life happy, grammar
must be changed so that you" will be
made the first person and "I'' the sec
ond. Each party to the marriage pact
must try twice as hard to please the
other after marriage as before. Sun
shine is needed in the home more than
money. More women are dying of
heart hunger than of physical hunger.
breaches UnseIfishness.
The man who makes money for
money itself is a failure, and success
is dearly bought if it tends to the de-
velopment of selfishness. We must
find our own happiness by trying to
make others happy.
Women should not look upon house
work as drudgery. To be a real house
wife in a cottage is better than to be a
mere private mistress in palace.
The speaker said we are spending
fabulous sums yearly for our vices
and vanities. while at the same time
of the high cost of living.
The high cost of wrong living is
what really concerns us. Unemploy-
ment is not nearly so serious a handi-
cap in the real progress of the world
as incompetence.
