these bonds are now quoted a
point or two higher than at any
time during the past six months.
The French evidently mink that
the Germans have failed at YER

that there will not again be a
serious effort to break through to
Paris.

LADIES! DARKEN
 YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look years younger! Use Grandmoth- ers' recipe of Sage Tea and sul-
 phur and nobody will know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re- storing faded, gray hair to it's natural color dates back to grandmother's
 time. She used it to keep her hair kbeautifully dark, glossy and attractive Whenever her hair took on that dull,
 faded or streaked appearance, this
 simple mixture was applied with won-
 derful effect.
 But brewing at home is mussv and out -of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of
 ssWyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound" you will get this famous old
 preparation, improved by the addition of other ingredients, which can be de- pended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair
 A well-known downtown druggist
 says it darkens the hair so naturally
 and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a
 sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one
 strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another ap- rlication or two, it becomes beautiful ! ly dark and glossy
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
 pound is a delightful toilet requisite
 for those who desire a more youthful appearance. It is not intended for the
 cure, mitigation or prevention of dis
 ease.

charged with robbery, attempted to
escape from custody at the Moline pO-
lice station this morning, attacked the

hard battle He was finally hand

OF Alice PaulsOn, colored, with whom
he had come to Moline from another

her purse and the money it contained
There were several angles to the case
which aroused suspicion of the police.
When Berkeley's hearing was called
before Magistrate Gustafson at this
morning the colored woman failed to
appear against him. The magistrate
refused to dismiss the case, however
and continued it until May 6, in the
meantime placing the colored man I'M

This evidently was not according
to Berkeley's plan. nor that of the

SUMMERFEST|VAL
Singing Contest Is Suggested rs Part
of Program for the Celebration
of Swedish Holiday.
is CONSIDERED BY COMMITTEE
Local Organizations Have Offered to
Donate Priesthood Be Fitting
Close for Centennial.

A new and novel feature, namely a
singing contest, IS promised by the
committee which has in charge the
program for this years Swedish mid
summer festival. The plan was al
vanced at meeting of the committee
Monday evening, and it met with in
slant approval. Should it be attempt
ed predictions are that it will bring to
this city singing choruses from all
parts of the country, as we'll as hun
dreds Of music lovers, who would act
as listeners.
Several local organizations have
agreed to donate prizes for the con-
test, and critics in the music would
be brought here to determine who was
entitled to the awards. Whether the
affair would take place out of doors
or in building is another matter to
be determined In event it Is decided
to stage the midsummer festival on
Sixth avenue, as proposed, the con-
test doubtless would be held there
simultaneously, and it would be a fit
ting climax to the Fort Armstrong
centennial.
Would Attract Visitors.
No one would then have occasion to
say that Moline had been left out OF
the celebration, for the singing fes-
tival no doubt would act as a magnet
for thousands of visitors in the three
cities, who had come to attend the
centennial and home coming.

terday afternoon.
No new cases of smallpox have de-
veloped since the list of all quaran-
tined places was published in Satur-
days edition of The Argus. Inasmuch
as these were the cases reported up
to Saturday morning-they were sew
en- in number-and no new ones have
been reported in the four intervening
days, authorities feel justified in
considering immediate danger past
Emphasis is laid on the fact, how
ever, that many families have not
taken proper precautions and that
Carelessness Of any persons may
again result in spread of the epidemic
1t is understood that strict watch
will be kept and anyone violating the
law will be dealt with severely.
