DON'T WORRY
ABOUT YOUR HAIR

It's all a question of the right
shampoo and thousands have found
the answer in Go-Go-Ol.
Go-Go-Ol is a combination of the
famous COCO plant of the Philip
pine Islands with refined oil of cocoa
nut. Its purpose is to cleanse the
hair thoroughly, which it does by
means of its soft, creamy lather. But
it has also the double purpose of
promoting hair-growth and prevent
ing dandruff by stimulating the scalp
to healthy action. Women should use
Go-Go-Ol atleast everytwo weeks. For
blond or gray hair nothing else should
ever be used, as it preserves the color
without streaking or artificial effect.
Go-Go-Ol leaves the hair soft and
lovely with an electric fuflness which
follows perfect cleanliness of every
strand.

a consultation with the police. That
is too much like licensing vice. We in
tend you shall not repeat the offense,
so you will either get out OF town or
go to Jail for 20 days
The woman agreed to leave the city.
Bert Perry, a Moline man arrested
with the woman, paid $3.50. Among
others whom the woman approached,

of not guilty. The magistrate con-
iinued the case for 10 days, and as

MOLINE GIRL SUES
HER ACTOR HUBBY
Richard kean of New York Made De.
PENDANT in Action Begun in
Judge Dietz's Court.
MARRIAGE TAKES PLACE IN JULY
Wife Returns to Her Home and He
Follows Her Here is the
Allegation.

Richard kean, a New York actor and
entertainer who specializes in Shakes
pearean tragedies, was served with
summons in divorce case filed by his
wife this morning a few minutes after
he had obtained his liberty under
bonds in Moline justice court,
where he had been arraigned on
charge of disturbing the peace.
Suit for divorce was filed in the Mo-
line city court by Grace Kean, Mo-
line girl who married Kean in New
York city in July, 1915
Kean was arrested last night on
charge of disturbing the peace, the
complaint being signed by Ernest A.
Huth, assistant general manager of the
National Licorice company, said to be
a relative of Mrs. Kean.
The actor, it is set forth in the di-
vorce bill, treated his wife cruelty and
once threatened her life, so that she
finally left him and came back to Mo-
line.
Her husband, it is alleged, came to
MOllne later and threatened her. He
left there, however, and did not re-
turn until very recently. Mrs. kean
alleges that she feared him and it was
to prevent any trouble that prompted
her relatives to bring about Kean's
arrest last night.
Charge Will Be Dropped.
While kean was awaiting a hearing
before Justice William Carstens this
morning, Attorney P. ]. Meersman,
representing Mrs. Kean, filed suit for
divorce in Judge G. o. Dietzs court
and also applied for an injunction re-
straining kean from interfering with
his wife in any manner. The injunc-
ton was granted. The justice court
charge will be dropped, it is under
stood.

Why is man and woman, half the time. feeling nervous. Respondent, worried; some days headachy, dull and unstrung: some days really incapaci- 'atod by illness.
 If We all would practice inside-bath- ing. what a gatifying change would take place. Instead of thousands of halfsick. anaemic-looking souls with pasty, muddy complexions we should see crowds of happy. healthy, rosy checked people everywhere. The req son is that the human system does not rid itself each day of all the waste which it accumulates under our pres ert mode of living. For every ounce of food and drink taken into the sys- tenn nearly an ounce of waste materi- al must be carried out. else it fer
 ents and forms ptomaine-like poi sons which are absorbed into the blood.
 Just as necessary as it is to clean the ashes from the furnace each day, before the fire will burn bright and hot. so we must each morning clear the inside organs of the previous days accumulation of indigestible waste and body toxins. Men and women, wheth- CT sick or well. are advised to drink each morning, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it.. as a harmless means of washing out of the stomach. liver, kidneys and bow els the indigestibie material, waste. sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach.
 Millions of people who had their turn at constipation. bilious attacks. acid stomach, nervous days and sleep less nights have become real cranks about the morning inside bath. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will not cost much at the drug store. but is sufficient to demonstrate to any one. its cleansing, sweetening and freshening effect upon the system.
