overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter 1t from the blood and they
become sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine Is
cloudy. full Of sediment, channels
often get sore, water scalds and you
are obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.

Campaign Of Education.

1t Is an unique campaign that open

neither OF politics. commerce, or re-

which is that of teaching the COM
munity the value of its infant popula-

This city is taking part in what is
really nationwide movement for
wider recognition and a profounder
realization of the fact that this or any
other community can determine large
ly the character of its future citizens
by the attention which it gives to the
needs OF its babies. Babies are the
raw material of civilization; the plas-
tic clay TO be wrought partly at least.
by hands, into what form they will. II
we decide that we have no response
bility for shaping and molding this
clay, we show ourselves to be outside
the present trend of scientific thought.
Leading thinkers, not only in the
United States, but all over the civilized
world, tell US that there is no better
index to the intelligence of any given
community than the one to be read in
the conditions under which it allows
its infant citizens to develop; the COM
fort OF its houses; the purity Of its
drinking water; the cleanliness and
care demanded of its milk producers:
the civic regulations over refuse re
moyal, the fly nuisance, paving and
drainage, the provision Of fresh air

IN OBSERVANCE OF BABY WEEK.

Mayor William McConochie has
given his endorsement of Baby Vel

ton issued yesterday:
To the Citizens of Rock Island, Hi
nois:
THE Visiting Nurses association of
the city of Rock Island which has had
active charge Of the Baby Welfare
work in our city for the past two
years. has asked that the week of
March 4th-11th be set apart for con-
sidering the needs Of the infants OF
this city. and as a time in which to
make a special effort to interest all
citizens in doing those things which
tend to the improvement Of conditions
and influences surrounding the little
children of the city, particularly dur
ing the hot weather of the coming
summer, in order 20 further reduce in
FAINT mortality, looking towards the es-
adjustment of a permanent branch Of
this work in the city Of Rock Island,
maintained by the citizens of Rock
Island
1T has been suggested that the
clergy Of the city call to the atten-
ton Of their congregations, the plans
of the committee in charge of this ex-
cellent undertaking, and it is hardly
necessary for me to say that this pro-
gram seems particularly fitting for the
churches support.
In order that We may progress
in promoting the welfare OF the chill
dren Of our city. the committee in
charge must have the active Coopera-
ton OF all citizens, and especially Of
the religious and civic organizations,
which have so much concern for the
City's welfare.
Il therefore ask all citizens of Rock
Island to cooperate with the commit
tee in charge of the work Of arrang-
ing for this Baby Welfare Week, and
! direct that the department of public
health and safety shall make a special
effort to render a helpful service in
this behalf
In witness whereof, l have here
unto set my hand. this 3rd day of

CAPITAL TURNS HARDING DOWN.

An interesting story is going the
rounds in political circles in Des
Moines. It is 10 the effect thar on
Monday, Harding and Pierce. Of the
Homestead, and q bunch OF syrnpa-
thizers took the publisher of the
Des Moines capital up TO the top
of high mountain and showed him
the kingdoms of the earth in the way
OF new subscribers and lucrative gains
in advertising by reason Of its popu-
iarity if the Capital would bur espouse
che cause OF Harding in this campo ign.
The Toungs, Gather and son, are
trying TO publish a clean, family news
paper, free from all Objectionable mat
ter in the best Of homes and chem
besides they have political memories.
In the primary the Capital declared
that Harding should not be nominated,
that he was unworthy of place at the
head Of the state republican ticket and
what the Capital said then the Capital
believes now, so Mr. Harding was told
that he would have 10 content himself
with the usual signed political adver-
tisement so far as the Capital was
concerned.
Then the coterie began 10 threaten,
so the story goes. that such an 1tti-

was that Harding publicity would have

politics for the reason that it might
violate the statute which requires all
advertising TO be truthful in its state
ments. II was explained 20 Nj Hard
ing that he was known 20 have been
wet in politics and me Capital would
not be a party to any deception On
that point.

Politics and Bench.

Mr.. Wilson Is the only president that
this country has had for generation
who has, looked upon judicial positions
as parl of the political spoils of office
ard who has degraded the bench. by
making appointments to it as rewards
for political activity or TO further a
partisan purpose.
Passing over the case Of Brandeis
and turning TO more recent ones there
is the appointment of Representative
Hay Of Virginia to position on the
fedora! bench. The obvious purpose or
this appointment was TO get rid Of
narrow. provincial. country statesman
who was embarrassing the adminSstra-
ton and the country thru holding. by
virtue of seniority. the place of chair
man OF the house committee on Mill

One party Of farmers on the train
from Geneva was calculating how they
might have driven down III the same

it. The desperate attempt 10 coax OF

indication # not confession OF weak

grow strong enough 10 carry the

driven far enough to enable all OF
its valves to seat properly can be
heard with great distinctness by
ali of the neighbors, most OF whom
are not musical enthusiasts and are
unable TO sleep in sound chunks
without breathing low, sobbing cuss

The violin is played with both
hands and the jaw bone. To become
an expert performer on this instrument

strange how many people rubber
around to watch the circus people I'M
load and put up their tentsr And
another fellow replied: NO, for there
is a new crop coming up every year"
Even so. as long as there are young
folks--yes and older ones-the circus
will be popular.
The circus of today is different
proposition from that Of the 70's. Then
it was possibly one rather small tent
and one-ring show. Then there was

but one, but they were just as funny

more so.
If you lived on farm you will re-

town for that wonderful spectacle.
But YOU were there for the afternoon

The Traetioneer. Dream.

The tractor on the farm arose
Before that dawn at four,
1t Grove the cows and washed the
clothes,
And finished every chore.
Then forth 1t wen, into the field
Just al the break of day;
1t reaped and threshed the golden yield,
And hauled II all away
Ii plowed the field that afternoon 4
And when the job was through
1t hummed "a pleasant little tune
And churned the butter. too.
And pumped the water for the stock,
And ground a crib OF corn.
And hauled the baby round the block
To still it's cries foriorn. ~
Thus ran the busy hours away.
BY many a labor blest:
And yet when fell the twilight gray
The tractor had no rest.
For while the farmer peaceful eyed,
Read by the Tungstens glow,
The patient tractor stood outside
And ran the dynamo.
