COUNCIL FROWNS
AT The milk MAN
Moline Commissioners May Pass Ord.
nance Requiring Dealers to Use
B0ttles-Start Cleanup.

1t is not improbable that the Mo-
line city council will pass an ordin-
ance which will make it necessary for
all milk dealers in that city to make
use Of bottles only. Commissioner A.
c. Stouffer now has the matter under
consideration. He is of the opinion
that the milk can is not sanitary and
should be abolished Another point in
favor of the milk bottle is that cream
rising to the surface leaves the milk
at the bottom of the can a little blue"
The customer whose lot it is to draw
the milk that is at the bottom of the
can is imposed upon. Understanding
of the Moline officials is that some
milk dealers have expressed them
selves as favoring an ordinance which
would prohibit use of the milk can.
In accord with the civic cleanup
movement, Commissioner Stouffer has
assembled his forces and started his
spring campaign against uncleanli-
ness and insanitation of public high
ways. Twelve teams are now busy
every day collecting garbage and re-
fuse from the streets and alleys Of
Moline, and it is estimated that some
eighty loads are hauled each day.
Commissioner Stouffer hopes to
have the general cleanup finished in
several weeks

is cloudy, full Of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; if you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach or you have rhea'
matism when the weather is bad, get
from your pharmacist about four
ounces Of Jad Salts; take q table
spoonful in glass OF water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid lithia, and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimulate cogged kidneys; to neu'
tralize the acids in the urine so II no

ending bladder disorders.

EXPLAINS USE OF
PHRASE IN CREED
Rev. J. NJ. Schaad Discusses Term,
@Holy Catholic Church." ia
Mission Sermon.

Explanation of the expression,
Holy Catholic church." as used in
the Apostles creed, was given by Rev.
]. NJ. Schaad, ST Paul, in his sermon
last evening at Trinity Episcopal
church. He discussed the doctrine of
apostolic succession, showing how
Christ had delegated authority to the
apostles and how this can be carried
down to the present time through a
self-perpetuating plan.
He stated that the four marks Of
the church from the time of the apos-
ties had been the Apostles creed, an
apostolical ministry, the sacraments,
and a definite liturgy. He explained
that there was no essential difference
in the fundamental belief of the three
branches of the Catholic church,
which are the Roman, Anglican and
Roman, although there are differences
relative to ecclesiastical procedure.
The speaker stated that more than
three-fourths of the world were men,
bers of the Catholic church and that
the less of one-fourth were divided
into 200 conflicting denominations.
The speaker in the preliminary part
of the service discussed the reforma-
ton and Henry Wills connection
with it, claiming that the latter did
not found the Episcopal church but
did find" it, the missioner emphasiz-
ing the vast difference between found
ing and finding.
This evening at o'clock a public
service will be held, at which time
Rev. Mr. Schaad will give instruction
on the proper use of the sacrament.
The mission will be brought to close
tomorrow with preaching services at
10:45 and 1880.

ALL STANDS WILL
Be REMOVED SOON
Mayor McCon0chie Announces He
Will Present Ordinance TO
Rock Island Commission.
TO CLEAR STREETS OF WAGONS
Unsightly Structures On Sidewalks
and Th0roughfares Not to Be
Licensed After May l..

Mayor McConochie declared today
that he would soon be ready to pre-
sent to the Rock Island municipal
commission an ordinance providing
for removal OF all popcorn, lunch,
fruit and shoe shining stands from the
sidewalks and streets.
The mayor said licenses now held
by operators of these places would not
be renewed on May /, at which TINA
they expire. The commission decided
at an informal meeting last fall that
one method of securing a city beauti
full is to eliminate from the streets
these stands, most of which are I'M
slightly.
The ordinance will mean that pop
corn wagons will be no more. 1t will
remove stands from alley entrances
as well as those on sidewalks. There
are a number of these places in Rock
Island which will be affected by the
ordinance, but it is understood that
most of the owners have made pro-
visions for locations in buildings.
Pay High Rents.
The mayor stated that he had been
apprised of conditions that were sur
prising. He stated that many of the
owners of these stands pay exorbitant
rentals to the owner of the buildings
near which they operate.
THE owners of the buildings
Mayor McConochie said, get rent
for permitting another fellow to have
stand on city property. In other
words, the owner of the building gets
paid for giving the man who operates
the stand permission to make our
streets unsightly."
1t is planned by the mayor to pre-
sent the ordinance in ample time to
make it effective on May l.

LIQUOR DEALERS
or COUNTY MEET
Nearly 200 Saloon Men Gather at Rock
Island Turner Hall and Hear State
President Talk.
DISCUSS LOCAL OPTION ISSUE
Plans for Campaign Are Considered
But Details of Arrangements De.
cided on Not Made Public.

Nearly 200 liquor dealers Of Rock Is
land county yesterday held a meeting
at the Turner hall in Rock Island, at
which time the local option campaign
in the six townships in this county was
discussed.
J. W. Kunde Of Chicago, president
of the Illinois Liquor Dealers associa-
ton, was in attendance at the meeting
and made short address. He re-
viewed the local option campaign all
over the state and touched upon the
conditions in each community.
1t is understood that the liquor deal
ers of the county made plans to con-
tinue the quiet campaign in behalf Of
the saloon interests. Details OF de-
cisions made were not made public by
any of the liquor dealers today. A
number were interviewed, but would
only say that the campaign was dis
cussed and that campaign plans were
made. The nature Of them were kept
secret.
Has Been Quiet.
The local option campaign in Rock
Island and in the other townships in
the country has been quiet thus far.
Further than house to house can
vass and one public meeting, little has
been done by either the wet or dry
factions. This is a striking contrast
to the campaign two years ago.
Fate OF 1873 saloons is at stake in
five townships, Rock Island, South
Rock Island, Moline, South Moline and
Coal Valley. Hampton will vote on
the question of returning the saloons.
