STREET CLEANING
COMPLETED SOON
Last Work OF This Kind for Year WIN
Be Finished Some Time Next Week.
Commissioner Says,
TO BE RESUMED NEXT SPRING
Asphalt Pavement Has Been Placed In
Good Condition by Mccarthy I'M
proyement Company.

Final cleaning of the streets in Rock
Island for this year will be finished
next week, according to an announce
ment made by Commissioner n. z.
JuhI
Practically two-thirds of the work
is completed, and If the weather con-
tinues to be fair the task will be ac-
complished rapidly. About day was
lost this week because Of the snow,
and as a result OF this Commissioner
Juhl is pushing the work as rapidly
as possible in the hope of getting IL
done before another snow, severe frost
or other adverse weather may cause 1t
to be entirely abandoned.
Not until next spring again will the
streets and alleys be cleaned. Dur
ing the winter this work is practically
impossible because of snow or frozen
ground. The final cleaning this year
is usually late, the fair weather being
accountable. All paved streets and
all alleys are being attended to.
Asphalt Streets Repaired.
The asphalt streets are in good con-
dition generally throughout the city
Only recently the Mccarthy Improve
ment company went over all of these
streets Holes and depressions were
filed and the streets placed in a con-
dition as near like new as repairing
would make them. This was done in
accordance with contract the city
has with the company to keep the paw
ing in good repair five years after it
is laid.
The Eleventh street paving just in
stalled will be the last big project
completed this year. all other public
mprovements being held up until
next spring because of the weather.

Just Try Rheuma
 No Cure, NoPay
That is the Basis on Which Druggists Offer this Great Remedy for
 Rheumatism.

Anybody can afford to use Rheuma to get rid of terrible rheumatism, sciatica, or gour, for it is sold by Clark & Brainerds and all druggists at 50 cents.
 It Is wonderful how speedily this simple remedy takes hold and how the best remedy you can find to drivo sore muscles Timber up and swollen joints come down to normal. It is the best remedy you can find to drive rh eumatic. poison from the systex. and bring back health to misery-rack- ed bodies.
 II had rheumatism for a long while, and was not cured until I used Rheuma. My advice to those suf- fering from rheumatism is to use this great remedy, as I believe it will effect cure in any cases. ."-C. B. Lanham, Sattes, w. Va.

replaced the old frigates and ships of the line that clipper stems have been seen in the fleet. Her over hanging bow will project more than twenty feet beyond her cutwater and will give place for three anchors in- stead of two as on the present ships. The third will hang plumb over the stem. The new bow will make for keeping the California a dry ship, as the sailors say, keeping her foredeck free of water in all but the heaviest weather. The fine underwater lines of the other ships which make for speed have been carried above the water-line on the California and her bows will be fiared near the deck line, SO when she does not cut through q wave she will lift her head over il.
 The model of the California's hull was thoroughly tested in the testing tank at the navy yard here before the radical changes were decided upon. When the new ship is ready for her first trial trip late in 1917 or 1913, she promises a most interesting study for the naval experts of the world.

A SPOONFUL OF
 SALTS RELIEVES
 . ACHING KIDNEYS
We eat too much meat, which clogs ~~T Kidneys, says noted authority.
If back hurts or Bladder bothers, stop r... all meat for 8
 While.

d. When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region 1t generally means you have been eating too much meat, says a we'll known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick head ache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheuma- tic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are oblig- %d to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 Either consult a good, reliable phy- sician at once or get from your phar- macists about four ounces of lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so 1t no longer irritates, thus ending blad- der weakness.
 lad Salts is a life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, can not injure and makes a delightful, ef- -fervescent lithia-water drink.

advanced step taken in naval eng1n- eering in many years. The California is expected to be placed in commission in about three years.
 The new battleship California will be the worlds first electric dread naught and from point of size will be greater than any foreign battle ship built or building. The California and her two sister ships, the Mississ- ippi and the Idaho, already auth oriz- ed, will each displace 32,000 tons, al- most one thousand tons more than the new dreadnaught Pennsylvania now on the way to completion.
 The California will be a ship of in novations. She will cost $7,S00, 900 without her armor or armament which is expected to cost as much more. She will have a speed of twenty-one knots an hour, will be 624 feet long, 97 feet across her beams and will draw 30 feet of wa ter. She will carry twelve fourteen inch guns, mounted three abreast in a turrent, twenty-two five inch rapid fire guns and will have four sub- merged torpedo tubes.
 Electric Propulsion.
 The principal feature of the new dreadnaught, however, is the machin- cry for propelling her by electricity. She will be driven by motors which will deliver electricity made by steam. The navy experts believe the electric installation is cheaper than steam propulsion and reduces the weight of machinery. The collier Jupiter has been so successful with electric ma-

REFORMS URGED IN
 COURT PROCEDURE
Criminal Law Committee Reports to American Prison Association

Oakland, Cal, Oct. 15.-Simplified | court procedure in criminal cases, abolition of the unanimous jury yer dict except in capital cases, extermina tion of commercialized crime and
 drastic penalties for non-enforcemcnt
 of laws were among the recommen
 dations made to the American Prison
 association yesterday by it's standing committee on criminal law. The re-
 port was delivered by James P.
 Gregory, judge of the criminal court of Louisville, Ky. Four reforms pre- viously recommended were again
 emphasized. These were:
 CD A wider discretion to courts in dealing with criminals who by req son of mental or physical deficiency should not be held to the same degree of responsibility as normal persons. CD Simplified pleadingS in cr1m- inal cases and adoption of easy meth ods of amending such plead1ngs.
 (3) Abolition of the requirement of an unanimous verdict by Jurles eX- cept perhaps, in capital cases, and continuance of trials when one juror becomes disabled or disqualified.
 (4) Legislation permitting, under reasonable restrictions, compulsory return of witnesses crossing a state line and remaining beyond the juris- diction of trial court.
 To Check Influences.
 Your committee is strongly inn pressed with the growing importance of adopting more effective measures for the checking of criminalizing in f1uences," continued the report. Fer haps no reform in this direction would be more far-reaching than one by which commercialized crime could be exterminated. There is no influence more pernicious than tolerance of practices subversive and defiant of law, indulged in by those who find such practices profitable. Misde- meanOrS and crimes are not infre- quently committed openly because the perpetrator can either pay the fine in- volved, and make a comfortable profit; or, by reason of a debased or debauched law-enforcing power, safe ly calculate on escaping the penalties announced by the law.
 We conceive that there is no rem edy for this evil except a radical quickening of the public conscience. No man can do his whole duty as a good neighbor or a good citizen who contents himself by merely lea. ing the duty of law-enforcementt to pub lie officials.
 Should Enforce Laws.
 Ut is often said that what we need | is not more laws for reaching evil i doers, but enforcement of the laws | already, enacted. One more law, how | ever, might be helpful-a law to com pei the enforcement of law. With a 1 genuine awakening of the public con- science, and such law that can, under reasonable safeguards against abuse, 1 be invoked by the public independent | of any official action, or concurrent | power both to the proper officials and the public, authorizing the summon ing of faithless public officials before the bar of justice to answer for their protection of criminal practices, or lack of diligence in their discovery and extermination, supported by penalties of removal from office, dis and disqualification to hold office in the future, an effective | would be found for the most pernicious and prolific breeding places of crime"
