CLUB PLANNING FOR

Rock Island is to be honored this
notable figures in the educational
world of today. DR.. E. A. Ross of the
University of Wisconsin, who comes on
Jan. rs to speak before the Mems club
of Broadway Presbyterian church, is
man whose name is known wherever
themes of sociology and economics
are discussed
For many years DR.. Ross has occu-
pied his position at the University of
Wisconsin, where his courses are an
nually attended by hundreds of young
people. In addition to his teaching
work, he finds time to travel extern
sively, lecturing and studying, and to
prepare carefully written books on the
themes with which he is engaged.
A few years ago his book on THE
Changing Chinese" was given to the
world, proving to be a genuine revela-
ton concerning affairs in that little
known nation, and it is still regarded
as an authoritative announcement.
Very recently Dr. Ross has published
the results of his studies in South
America, in book which is being gen.
orally accepted as another authority.
| The present interest in South Amer
| lea as a field for commerce to be de-
yeloped by the United States makes
this timely topic for the lecture to
| be given by Dr.. Ross when he comes
| to Rock Island. On account of this
exceptional interest the club is study
ing methods by which it may be made
possible for the lecture to be heard
by as many of the people of this city
as possible The officers of the club
will be glad to hear from any persons
not members Of the club who are par
ticularly interested in hearing DR.
Ross.

General Sir W R. Birdwood is the
man who deserves the credit for the
successful withdrawal of the British
forces from the Gallipoli Peninsula.
In a recent report to the British war
office General Ian Hamilton, former
ly in command of the forces at CALI
poll, tells some of the reasons why
this campaign, with victory in its
grasp, failed. He points out that the
failure was in no way due to General
Birdwood, but to the failure of
Kitchener to send men at the crucial
time, to the failure of the navy to
land troops where needed, to the
failure of General Stopford to act
when he might have crushed the
beaten Turks, and to the short
age of water.

TAKE CARE OF
YOUR LIVER
And 1t viii Take Care of Your
Constipation.

The liver IS supposed to furnish the
proper amount of bile for the intestines.
This bile has two purposes-to help digest
in the intestines that part OF your food
which the stomach is not meant to digest
and to act as natures laxative and pre-
vent constipation.
II is plain to be seen then that oils and
the ordinary laxatives which do not act
on the liver give only temporary relief
II you want to get real and lasting re-
suits you've got to take the remedy that
acts on the liver and causes IL to furnish
the bile which in turn acts on the bowels
The name of this simple but sure home
treatment Is Natures Remedy-popularly
known as Mr. Tablets.
An Mr. Tablet taken at night before re-
firing will tone up the stomach, put your
liver to work and in the morning act
thoroughly, but without gripping, on the
bowels. Natures Remedy also relieves
rheumatism, acts beneicially on the kid
neys and purifies the blood.
No household should be without its box
of Mr. Tablets-taken in time they will
break up colds and prevent much sickness
arising from disordered stomach or
bowels
Get a SO box Of Mr. Tablets and take
one to-night-youu feel better in the
morning.

that party seems to deem II wise for the

The destroying influence OF public

'ON Child LABOR BILL
The Addition of the immigration

IN an effort to defeat the Borah amend

tack the immigration bill. providing a
literacy test for aliens onto the measure,
Majority Leader Kern last night called a
caucus Of Senate Democrats tonight.
Opponents OF the child labor bill de-
vised the expedient OF tacking on the lit
eracy test knowing that President Will
son is pledged to veto legislation provid-
ing such test, according 10 Senator
Kern.
''Nine-tenths of the Democrats Will
stand firmly against the Borah amend
ment, but we want every Democrat
against IT. said Senator Kern tonight
Il feel certain that the amendment will be
beaten. The addition Of the immigration
bill to the child labor bill would impair
both measures.
There is no need for the passage of
the new immigration bill now, as immi-
grafton Is inconsequential on account of
the war. immigration legislation could
probably wait until next December"
