Sitting Cross Legged.

The next time you ride in a street
car notice the number of people who
sit cross legged. 1t has been estimat-
ed that four-fifths of them do. Prob
ably you do. \ prominent London
physician has investigated the habit.
and his advice is don't sit cross leg
ged." He states that the prime OBJ
lection to the habit is that the return
flow OF blood is stopped at the knee.
the result being that the veins in the
leg swell up. AS all of the weight is
thrown to one side of the body, the
under leg is likely TO go to sleep. The
body should be equally balanced. Much
crossing of the legs is also dangerous
in that it is likely to cause lopsided-
ness. The limbs should be allowed to
rest easily, so that the flow of blood
is natural and the body equally bal

CARRY THE BONDS OR STAMP
COUNTY AS BACK NUMBER
Continued from Page Eight.)

CONTINUED from Page Eighth
filed a bill in court to COMPEL Rock
Island county to appropriate. This
suit can have but one ending-a de-
cree against Rock Island county. Ad-
vised to this effect, the supervisors
have asked for a bond issue to defray
the cost This obligation cannot be
lodged. If not met squarely, decree
will be entered and we will be com
PEELED to meet the obligation together
with costs.
For a minute look at the situation.
From Colona to Hampton is but four
miles-a small territory in width to
furnish produce to support a popula-
ton of 10000 people. An excellent sit
uation, you will observe, for those few
who now monopolize this market. We
are not surprised that these monopol-
lists have Influenced the supervisors to
vote so as to maintain this monopoly,
even though it is the undoing of the
cities. Is it not time that these 10000
people awake and remove the barrier
of Rock river so that the produce of
the fertile prairies of Henry county
may flow to our cities over this bridge
and over the paved streets. extending
almost to the bridge site? 1t will cut
the high cost of living and incidentally
benefit our merchants. This much
must be done and will be done in spite
of the selfishness of upper and farm
ers. Delay will result in a decree
with costs.
Has Been Long Needed.
For 40 years Rock Island has covet-
ed bridge at the mouth of Rock river
"a bridge that with a diagonal road
to Andalusia will shorten the dis,
lance to the lower end eight miles on
the round trip. This bridge has been
so much desired that even pontoon
no previous time has it been finan-i
cially eXpedient to acquire this bridge
But now Moline, alive to the fact that
the removal of trade barriers Is a
mutual problem. joins with Rock Is
land in advocating both bridges. Now,
therefore, is the opportunity-an op-
that every voter should en-
brace. Some OF the trade of the west
end win pass through on our paved
streets to Moline and East Moline.
just as the trade over the Colona
bridge will pass through TO Rock Is
land. Thus il is a mutual proposition
and good faith requires that both
be supported by all the
voters OF the cities.

Advantage to Farmers.

will cooperate with the cities. the
farmers of the upper end do not wish
to share this rich market with the
farmers of Henry county. The towns

county lies in the west end-a vast, a
rich, fertile country devoid of towns.
Why should not the people of these
three cities be ambitious to attract
trade from this vast farming COM
munity-devoid as it is of stores-to
the merchants of our cities? Why
should not these 10000 people look to
this territory for relief from the high
cost of living? Muscatine-a city of
only 1900 people-long ago was alive
to this unprecedented trade oppor-
tunity and bridged-not Rock river
but the Mississippi and built a high
road across the wide bottom, thus
stealing the trade rightfully belonging
to us. Can it be possible that there is
a single voter in these cities who is
so dead to his true interests that he
would neglect this golden opportunity
That Milan should oppose the lower
bridge is natural 1t has the first bid
for this trade as whatever comes this
way must now first pass through Mi
Ian.
Milan is alive to its true interests
and it's merchants are now circular
izing the county with misstatements
hoping to defeat the lower bridge
That they should even scatter their
circulars in the cities testifies not only
to their enterprise, but to their I'M
mitigated gall. Would that our own
merchants could emulate the example
of Milan enterprise. The occasion
demands it.
Cost Is No Burden.
Now what is the cost? $4,000 for |
both bridges-less than one dollar |
for each of the $4,000 people living in |
this county. A trife too small to 1
mention. If we include the Jail prop /
osition the tax will be but 80 cents !
on each 500 of valuation and only for |
three years.
Now what is the gain? First the !
of our merchants and the j
expansion of our cities;
second. lowering the cost OF living for
every individual. 1t is conceded that |
provisions for a horse cost 20 cents
per day. That used to be the allow
ance made in the army. Would not
so cents per day be conservative
average cost for human being? Some
say that is too low. But even that
