Service.

The city of Rock Island has not con-
tributed a recruit to the United States
regular army in two months, accord
ing to Sergeant Alex d. Johnson, who
is assigned here for the purpose of en-
listing men. Sergeant Johnson makes
his headquarters at the state employ
ment bureau on Second avenue
Il don't want to say our young men
here are unpatriotic," observed the
sergeant, but there is something
wrong. If | were asked for an ex-
PLANTATION by my superiors l would be
al loss to advance one. We hear
considerable talk about warning on
Mexico and being ready to strike at
other powers in the event of certain
aggravations, but you know we must
have men if we are to be prepared to
fight. Our army needs men and l am
here looking for them. l have been a
recruiting officer nine years, and the
past so days in Rock Island is the first
blank have had in such period dur
ing my term of service.

the fourth time,
The Rock Island Ministerial alliance
At meeting held today decided on
,bis move. 1t will be the first time in
history that the wet and dry fight is
presented on a local township ballot.
heretofore the vote has been taken at
city election.
The voters in the township, however,
will be voting on ii for the fourth
time. in view of the fact that as cleo
TORS in this municipality they have pre-
yiously expressed themselves three
times on the question.
In order to place the question be-
fore the voters signatures OF % per
cent Of the number of ballots cast at
the last township election will have to
be attached TO the petition.
In connection with the circulation
Of the petitions here tomorrow similar
action will be taken in Moline. 1t is
said that there is an agreement
between the dry factions of the
two cities that when one town votes
on the question the other city will
have local option placed on the ballots
also.
Election April 1.
The election will be held on Tuesday,
April T. The petitions will have to be
filed with ". A. Frewert. town clerk,
30 days before the election, which
means that the signatures will have TO
be completed March 4.
There were approximately 5000
votes, men and women, cast at the last
township election in the spring of 1915
Accordingly it is figured that between
1000 and $500 signatures to the petit
tons will be needed to place the ques-
ton before the voters.

one township is dry and permits no
saloons and where the other is wet and
saloons are licensed The council of
a city is permitted to license saloon
IN wet township even though the
major part of the city may be located
In another township which is dry.
Putting the local option question to
issue before the voters of this town
ship does not prevent another vote next
year. In 1917 the vote can be taken as
city. The law provides that vote
on local option cannot be held in the
same district within Is months after a
previous one. The vote, if the proper
number of signatures is secured this
year, will be by township, which is a
separate district legally from the city.
The question could be placed before
the electors in the city next year.
therefore, without the township vote
conflicting.

AN OLD PRoVERR

It used to be proverbial that every man (and it is certainly no less true of women) is either a fool or phy- sician at forty. This means that every intelligent person must learn so much about caring for his own health that by the time he is forty years of age he can almost be reck- oned as a physician.
 Why, then. is there so much talk by doctors against standardization" A woman can recognize all ordinary ail- ments without calling on a doctor. If they are ailments distinctive to her sex she generally knows enough to use that greatest of all remedies for such ailments, Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and likewise she is familiar with the standard remedies for other diseases.
