GAVE AUDIENCE GOOD LAUGH
Humorous Situation When Man Once
Imprisoned With Michael Davitt
Called Him by Number.

The death of James Collins, the mod
ern historian of Dublin, reminds one
that Mr.. Collins was engaged in COM
pleting work of his friend, the late
Michael Davitt, Irish nationalist and
labor leader, once mill lad in Haslng-
den. One of Davitt's stories intended
for inclusion is the following:
The Irish Tribune" as Davitt was
called, having served many years in
Chatham and other prisons as a po-
litical prisoner, had been a free man
some six months, when he was adj
dressing huge meeting in the Ro-
tunda, Dublin.
Davitt had worked his audience up
to tense pitch of enthusiasm and con-
Guided a great speech amid a perfect
storm of applause.
When he had resumed his seat and
the applause was subsiding a voice
from the gallery cried out:
Bravo, X Twenty-Five
Davitt started and, looking up, be-
held the grinning face of well-known
ing a five years term in Chatham
prison. and who had hailed Davitt by
his prison number.
1t did not take an Irish audience
long to scent out the humor of the stu
alton and the Rotunda rang with peaIs
of laughter, in which both cher ma
jesty's ex-guests" heartily joined.

INSPECTION FOR
PUPILS PROPOSED
State Board of Health Suggests Chill
dren of Rock Island County Be
Given Medical Test.

Miss Lou NJ. Harris, county super
intendent of schools, is in receipt Of a
letter from the state board of health
relative to the establishment of u
medical inspection in the schools of
the county and recommending that no
schools be opened until a thorough
medical inspection of the pupils had
been made in order to prevent a spread
of infantile paralysis.
This was but another instance of the
letter that came too late" however,
for most of the rural schools in the
county opened Monday and the rest of
them Tuesday The dread malady has
not been found in the rural districts
in this county anyway and has been
confined to Rock Island, Moline and
Silvis, so that the precautions sug-
gested would probably not have been
necessary. Opening of the Moline
schools has been delayed.
The letter asks that the county
superintendent refer the matter to the
school authorities and it would then
be up to them TO provide for the in
spectiOn. The plan was to have the
pupils carefully examined when as
sembIed for school, hoping in this
way to guard against an outbreak of
the disease.

An Easy Way to Get
Fat and Be Strong

The trouble with most thin folks
who wish to gain weight is that they
insist on dragging their stomach or
stuffing it with greasy foods; rubbing
on useless flesh creams" or follow
ing some foolish physical culture
stunt, while the real cause of thinness
goes untouched. You cannot get fat
until your digestive tract assimilates
the food you eat.
There is a preparation known to
reliable druggists almost everywhere
which seemingly embodies the missing
elements needed by the digestive or
CANS to help them convert food into
rich. fat-1aden blood This modern
treatment is called Sargol and has
been termed the greatest OF flesh
builders. Sargol aims through regen-
erative, reconstructive powers TO coax
the stomach and intestines to literally
soak up the fattening elements of your
food and pass them into the blood
where they are carried TO the starved
broken-down cells and tissues of your
body. You can readily picture what
result this amazing transformation
should produce as with increased
weight the cheeks fill out. hollows
about neck, shoulders and bust disar-
pear and from 10 to 20 pounds OF
solid, healthy flesh is added to the
BODY. SargoI is absolutely harmless,
efficient. Harper House
Pharmacy, J. J. Foley and other lead
ing druggists of this vicinity have 1t
and will refund your money If you
are not satisfied, as per the guaran-
tee found in every package.
NOTE: -Sargol is recommended
only as a flesh builder and while ex-
ceIlent results in cases of nervous in
d:gestion, etc, have been reported
care should be taken about using 1t
unless a gain OF weight is desired.
