WHAT CATARRH IS
said that everv third

1t has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form Of snuifs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat Its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food In SCOTS Emulsion which IL a
medicinal food and q building tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmful drugs. Tryit.

LARGE AUDIENCE TO
HEAR MOTHER JONES

All arrangements have been made
by the committee from the Tri-City
Federation of Labor to accommodate
a monster crowd at the Family theatre
in Moline, next Sunday, when Mother
Jones will deliver an address on the
organized labor movement.
1t is expected that two thousand
people will be on hand to hear this
wonderful woman who has given al
most her entire life in an effort to
benefit the workers of this country.
By the great activity that she has dis
played and the many sacrifices that
she has made in their behalf she has
endeared herself to every labor union
man on this continent
For the cause that she loves so well
she has been compelled to languish in
a military prison in West Virginia be-
cause she refused to leave the state
and desert the miners who were in a
death struggle with the operators for
better conditions.
She succeeded in getting John D.
Rockefeller to go to Colorado and
make personal investigation of the
conditions existing among the miners
Of that state.
While all effort will be made to
handle the large crowd that is ex-
pected the committees wish to urge
all those who desire a good seat to
come early. The lecture will COM
mence at 2::30.

Nieis 4. Christensen.

Milwaukee, Wis, Feb. 24-The story
of Nels A Christensen, head Of the
Christensen Engineering company of
this city, inventor and manufacturer,
is a demonstration that the time has
not passed when a young man can
achieve wealth, honestly, and in guam
tity, through his own efforts. Mr..
Christensen, WHO has just won law
suit for some $2,000,O00 in royalties
from the Westinghouse interests of
Pittsburgh, for the use of his electric
car air brakes, and who is suing the
General Electric company for about
as much more in royalties, has not
stopped inventing with the air brake
but is constantly putting out new de-
vices As an example, his invention OF
the only self-starting device for aero
planes, now being installed on all
planes made for any OF the warning
armies, is only one of the products OF
his busy mind.
From a poor Danish immigrant to &
man of millions is the brief story OF
| his career He was needy inventor
in 1899: in 1902 he was rich manu-
facturer.

Dealers Increasing.
THE increase from year to year in
! the number of dealers throughout the
state is as significant as any other reg
/ istration," said Secretary Stevenson.
Taking into consideration the pro-
portionate increase in all registrations
from year to year it is reasonably
safe to predict the registration during
the present year in Illinois of more
! than 100000 automobiles and total
| income from the automobile depart
ment of well over million dollars"
While the departments files do not
require record of the number of ma
chimes in any given locality, the law
provides that a record be kept of the
! incomes from each of the 102 counties
in the state. Cook heads the list with
| 1894 ,66411, against 1898, 1858 in 1914,
an increase last year of SOL ,583.58.

ceived from each for 1915 and 1914:

Out of the 102 counties in the state
there were 13 in 1915 which paid in
more than $4,000 each and 81 which
paid more than $4,000. The 49th
general assembly of Illinois gave the
secretary of state the right to appoint

as he may see fit and these will aid in
