Island, has come within the ordinance
of the Davenport city council, and will
now resume the business of operating
his jitney bus between Davenport and
Rock Island. Hoosline was dismissed
in police court when the case was call
ed by Magistrate Roddewig. Attorney
B. T. O'Neil, the jitney bus legal ex
pert. appeared on behalf of his client
and stated that Hossline had taken out
license and bonds, and was now re-
specting the ordinance. The action of
Hoosline and his attorney dismisses
finally the intention of the jitney bus
men to establish test case bearing on
the ordinance and fight it through the
courts. Immediately after the order
was signed on the injunction proceed
ing in district court jitney bus men an
nounced their intention of turning the
fight in another channel, and by means

ing it by habeas corpus procedure as
certain the strength of the law. Soon

Mothers Here
Interested in
New Treatment
Group in Fifteen Minutes
Applied Externally.
NOTHING TO SWALLOW.
NO DOSING THE STOMACH.
Local Druggists Have Arranged to
Sell csc, soc and S1.OO Packages
on so Days Trial.

Local druggists report a great
deal of interest among the la
dies, especially among mothers
with small children, in the new
external treatment, Vick's ''Vap-
Grub" Salve, recently intro
duced here from the South.
This new treatment does away
with injurious internal medi-
cines, flannel jackets and vapor
lamps, in treating the various
forms Of cold troubles. Wick S
"Vap-O-Rub" comes in Salve
form, and is applied over the
throat and chest, covering with
a warm flannel cloth. The body
heat releases medicated vapors
that are inhaled with every
breath all night long through the
air passages to the lungs. These
vapors loosen the phlegm, and
clear the air passages. In cases
of deep chest colds, first apply
hot wet towels over the throat
and chest to open the pores.
Vick's is then absorbed through
the skin, taking out that tight
ness and soreness.
While the profit on Vick's is
than on the old time pre-
parations, the local druggists
have the welfare Of their custom
ers more at heart than the inter-
ests of their pocket books, and
have arranged to sell Vick's on
30 days trial, giving with each
sale a refund blank that is good
for your money back if you are
not delighted.
