Ever Put on Here.

Because of the great number of peo-
see running races who would not go
at all to see harness races, the man.
agement of the Rock Island EXPOSE
ton park has spent several days in
the surrounding towns interesting run
ming horse men in the races here on
July 4. AS they have several horses
entered for the running race on the
Fourth people will be assured one of
the most exciting races possible.
Larger purses were offered for this
race than were ever offered for run
ming race on this track before. If peo-
pie show that they are sufficiently in
terested in running races to support a
running race meet, there will in all
probability be a running race meet
held here some time in August. In
fact plans are under way now for this
meeting, but nothing has been given
out for publication.
A running race has been ar
ranged for the afternoon of July 5. AL
though the purses are larger than are
offered at any county fair race meet
ing, the owners of running horses
would not ship here unless they would
arrange a two-day program so they
could start all the horses they have.
The management is trying to arrange
some harness races for July 8

this race is not assured as yet.

late court for the third district handed
down an opinion today affirming the

of the Sangamon circuit court in which
Judge Creighton held that the bylaws

Not Two-Thirds Vote.
The appellate court holds that the
bylaws adopted by the head camp in
Chicago in July, 1912, did not receive
the necessary two-thirds vote of the
delegates elected to the head camp,
that they were adopted by a vive voce
vote and that there is nothing in the
records to show that there was even
a quorum present at the meeting, let
alone a two-thirds vote.

Bylaws Repealed.

The case in the Illinois courts will
have no effect upon the Woodmen's
affairs because the Chicago rates were
repealed at Toledo and therefore there
is no longer an issue as to whether
the Chicago head camp acted lawfully.
Elsewhere. however. there are cases
pending in which the right of the so
ciety TO increase its rates is ques-
toned on the ground that it amounts
to an abrogation of a contract, and
these it is expected will be fought
through to the United States supreme
court.

SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES.

A good remedy for catarrh is crush
ed cube5 berries smoked in a pipe,
emitting the smoke through the nose.
After few trials this will be easy TO
do. If the nose is stopped up so that
it is almost impossible to breathe. one
pipeful will make the head perfectly
clear. For sore throat. asthma and
bronchitis. swallowing the smoke eff
fects quick relief 1t is the best rem
edy in the world for offensive breath,
and will make the most foul breath
pure and sweet. Sufferers from that
hcrrid disease, liberated catarrh, will
find this relief unequaled. Eating the
uncrushed berries is also good for sore
throat and all bronchial complaints.
After smoking do not expose yourself
to cold air for at least Is minutes.
Healing and SofteniDg Lotion for
Hands, Face and Neck-Mix two
ounces glycerin, two ounces bay rum,
% drops tincture of benzoin; shake
all together and add same amount of
water after it has been boiled and
cooled. Use it any time after having
had your hands in water and cleanse
your face and neck with it before re-
firing The men of the home will find
it delightful after shaving.

Next week beginning Nov. and

associations.
Sunday was a record breaking day
at the Y. NJ C. A. cafeteria, when so
many more patrons came than were
planned for that it was little diff
cult for awhile to care for them.
The board OF directors of the Y. NJ.
C. A. are glad to announce that X. T.
Anderson, cashier of the State Bank of
Rock Island, has accepted his appoint
ment to the board. Mr.. Anderson's
acceptance of this important position
greatly strengthens the board. The
success of the association largely de-
ponds upon the men who compose the
board of directors, and the appoint
ment of such men as Mr.. Anderson
make certain the ultimate success of
the institution.

frequently finds a fragrant omission in

oongealing and encouraging the spread

do much toward preserving the we'll
