Two Ball GENES Labor Day.

Interest in base ball centers is di-
rected to the double header to be
played at Athletic park Monday after
noon, Labor Day, between the New
Way Motor Co. of Lansing and the
Robbins Table Co. nine of this city.
These teams have met twice before
this year. The Robbins team won
the first by the close score of six to
five. The second game went in
eleven innings to the Lansing team
by similar score. This insures one
of the best afternoons of baseball so
far this season. The games will start
at 1880 and 3:45 o'clock.

II everything was sold in as liberal
and fair manner as Thomas Drug
company is selling Schiffmann's New

ton could possibly arise from any
one These druggists say. Buy bot
tie of this remedy and try it for bron-
chitis, whooping cough, severe cough.

we will return your money, just as We
do with Schiffmann's famous Asthma
dor, If it does not give satisfaction, or
If not found the best remedy ever
used for any OF these complaints"
Why not take advantage of this guar

another purely on the exaggerated
claims of its manufacturers or on the
strength of testimonials from others
and run the chance of getting some
thing worthless and also wasting your

SCHOOL PUPILS SHINE
IN A MINSTREL SHOW

The minstrel show given Saturday
evening by senior fellowship members
of the Moline high school proved an
entertainment of much merit. The
production, by Tar the most elaborate
ever seen on the school stage attracted
more than one thousand citizens of
Moline and members of the student
body.
Originality is the one word which
sums up the entertainment as whole.
A short playlet, vaudeville act Of al
legged black magic and the minstrel
proper, constituted the three acts. To
Wade Hulette and C. w. Sagen
credit for the success of the enter
tainment must be given. Interest in the
event was equal to that of any senior
play and standing room was at pre-
MUM half an hour before the curtain
first went up. Work of boys who pro-
voked laughter with their antics and
jokes was next to professional and the
solo numbers were excellent.

Be PRETTY! TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
Try Grandmother's Old Favorite
Recipe Of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur. properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre tn the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago
the only way to get this mixture was
to make it at home, which is mussy
and troublesome. Nowadays, by ask.
ing at any drug store for 'Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will
get large bottle Of this famous old
recipe for about SO cents.
Don't stay gray! Try It! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as 1t does 1t so naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft
brush with 1t and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
q time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, thick and glossy.

SELL FOUR MILLION
SEALS IN PAST YEAR

Today the Illinois State Association
for the Prevention of tuberculosis is
sued a report upon the most success
full Red Cross seal campaign yet con-
Quoted in this state There were sold
4792,146 Red Cross seals as against
1854 22 sold in 1914. Though a few
towns swept by the epidemic OF grippe
have not yet reported, this figure is
thought to be conservative.
This advance, which will put Illinois
near the top of the list of states Sc
riously conducting an anti-tuberculosis
campaign, is due both to the cordial CO.
operation of the press Of the state and
the growing desire Of thinking people
to prevent this disease.
Today the State tuberculosis asso-
citation awarded pennants to the fol-
lowing towns and cities winning the
highest per capita sale of Red Cross
seals in their respective groups.
Population 300 to 600-Yorkville, Isl
seals per capita.
Population 600 to 2,o00-Gilman'

The opinion was expressed today by
river authorities that the zero wealth
er is tightening the gorge and that it
will require heavy thaw and a large
force of water above to cause it TO
break This is taken to indicate the
danger is not passed, even though re-
lief is now being given.
Rock river today was POI feet above
low water. The river fell a of a foot
since Saturday. The continued cold
has had the ice more firm, which will
prove a greater danger to the bridges
when it moves.
A peculiar situation has arisen in
the flooded section, Third to Eighth
streets and Fifth to Seventh avenues.
, The water has continued to recede,
but it cannot be noticed on the streets
/ because the ice remains where it has
been for the last few days. The water
under the ice is being carried off by
the sewer, but the ice is so thick that
it is holding under the weight of
heavy trucks
Announcement was made today by
the Rock Island Southern that it had
completed repairs on the break in the
dam in the Edwards river at Gilchrist
