Bicycles are not in very common use
nowadays and most of their riders are
boys, Complaints are coming from
many places that there is too much
riding ON the sidewalks, a practice
which is inexeusable, though not unac-

to clear the track for automobiles and
so take to the sidewalks, thus trans

EPIDEMIC IN MOLINE
IS NOW ON THE WAIVE

DR.. H. S. Bennett, city physician of
Moline. yesterday made the statement
that Moline, after being in the grip of
a typhoid epidemic for months, is now
near the point where there will be vir-
tually no danger of the contagion
spreading throughout the city.
Report of the city physician, submit
ted at the last meeting of the council,
showed that there were then % cases
of typhoid fever in the city as COM
pared with Ga one month prior. Dur
ing the few days which have elapsed
since the report was submitted, how
ever, the allotted time has expired in a
number of cases and there is a con-
siderably less number. Failure of
some of the final reports to come in
also means that there are several cases
still officially called typhoid fever
where the victims have recovered, so
that the number is now in reality con-
siderable less than 20.
No new cases have been reported in
the city for more than two weeks Elk
cept for typhoid, Moline has been COM
paratively free from contagious dis
eases during winter.
