WHY WOMEN
DREAD OLD AGE

Don't worry about old age. Don't
worry about being in other peoples
way when you are getting on In
years. Keep your body in good con-
dition and you can be as hale and
hearty in your old days as you were
when a kid, and every one will be
glad to see you.
The kidneys and bladder are the
causes of senile Affections. Keep
them clean and in proper working
condition. Drive the poisonous
wastes from the system and avoid
uric acid accumu lations. Take
GOLD MEDAL HARLEM Oil Cap
sules periodically and you will find
that the system will always be in
perfect working order. Your spir-
it's will be enlivened, your muscles
made strong and your face have
once more the look of youth and
health.

brand of HARLEM Oil Capsules,
GOLD MEDAL. There are many
fakes on the market Be sure you

GARMENT QUOTA
over SUPPLIED
Red Cross Branches Throughout
the City Have Pledged Them
selves to Bring Up Ratio.

Proof that the women of Rock Is
land are patriotic to the best OF
their ability is shown in the fact
that a larger number of hospital
and refugee garments than the
quota asked for, has been supplied.
Ror some time the quota OF these
garments has not been furnished
in a ratio to the surgical dressings,
so it became necessary to lay aside
the latter mentioned for the time
being in the hope that the Red
Cross workers could catch up with
the quota. Present indications are
that the demand has been over
supplied.
Workers from all over the city
have volunteered extra services.
Although it is harvest time in the
county, the women there have not
put aside their Red Cross work, but
have promised that their quotas
also shall be in at the appointed
time, Aug. 81.
Yesterday the Broadway Ladies
Aid society members pledged
themselves and sewed at the head
headquarters rooms.

SALUTE SIGNS
UNCALLED FOR
Tri- City Motorists Fail to VOlun-
teer for Service In Offering
Free Rides.

Unlike other cities where the
same plans have been adopted Rock
Island and tri-city motorists have
failed to show their willingness to
give men in uniforms free rides in
their automobiles.
Posters were prepared and pur-
chased by the Tri-City Automobile
Trade association for distribution
among tri-city automobile owners.
But few of these were asked for al
though several announcements ap-
peared in all of the tri-city newspa-
pers telling of the Salute and
Ride" club that had been formed
under the direction of the autoIno-
bile association.
1t is said that large number of
automobilists take soldiers as pas

CHANGE MADE IN
AGE REQUIREMENT

New age limits for men enter
ing the merchant marine through
the recruiting service of the Unit
ed States shipping board have been
announced by Chairman Edward y.
Hurley OF the board.
From now on adventurous youths
from IS to 20, inclusive, will be &C
cepted as sailors, cooks and stew
ards on all American vessels max
ing mercantile voyages, if they first
pass through the training course
provided by the shipping board on
its fleet of training ships. Men be-
tween 80 and 35, inclusive. will
also be accepted in the same way
for these three ratings.
Hitherto all the 5000 men a
month accepted for training by the
shipping board and subsequent ser
vice in merchant crews have been
within the present draft age limits
of 81 10 81, but in order to draw
more lightly on men available for
military duty under the present
draft regulations the board nere-
after will accept men of draft age
only for training as officers or ire
men. The age limit for officers is
much wider, however, being 10 tC
55, inclusive, and only men who
have spent two years at sea will
be accepted for training.
The new age limits for firemer
are 81 to 81. Firemen who have
fired six months on boilers of Il
pounds pressure will be given spe-
cial training as oilers and water
tenders.
Recruiting headquarters for thu
merchant marine service in Rocl
Island are located at the Thomas
Drug company. Second avenue and

TO TAKE STEPS
FOR MORE PAY
Employees of Tri-City Railway COm-
pany to Start Action If High
er Fare is Charged.

Steps to secure an increase in
wages will be taken by employees
OF the Tri-City Railway company If
the company officials secure the
right TO raise the present fare from
five to six cents, it is understood
Under a binding contract the en-
pIoyes work another year under
their present wage scale, which,
with the increase granted by the
company, allows the motormen and
conductors about 81 cents an hour.
Increases were granted BY The
federal war labor board 20 en-
pIoyes in cities where trouble was
being experienced over wages be
ing paid. In Chicago the men were
given a 50-cent an hour rate and in
practically all other places the
scale was set from IS TO As cents
an hour.
1t is impossible, the employees
say. TO get before the board be-
cause of the existing contract, but
il has been decided that If the com
pany is allowed to increase the
fares a 40 per cent increase in
wages will be asked for the period
of the war and the existing higher
cost OF living.
Employees and officials are await
ing developments. Directors OF the
Tri-City Railway company have not
definitely decided to appeal TO the
public utilities commission for
rights to boost the fare charges,
but this action is expected in the
near future. Steps taken by the
company will pave the way for the
employees 10 the federal war labor
board.

PROPOSAL sTARTLES IRISH.

Dublin.-Irish farmers have been
startled by a proposal made by the
reconstruction committee that the
government purchase some of tn.
Irish farms which are now being
cultivated and sell them TO compe-
tent cultivators or employ skillful
and progressive farmers to culti-
vate them. Sir Horace Plunkett. n
member of a subcommittee, has
reported that some Irish farms are
occupied by incompetent or incapa-
BILE men who will not improve their
methods under instruction or if
punished by penalties. The land
deteriorates and is wasted for sew
eral years while the occupant
grows poorer and poorer and gem
orally is crushed out by his cred

County Food Administrator Bow
els is in receipt of the following
letter this week regarding the con-
ditlons of the supply of meat
throughout the country: Careful
analysis of the beef situation in the
United States and abroad shows
the desirability of lifting present
consumption restrictions immedi-
ateiy, rather than in September as
originally contemplated. Therefore
present restrictions of serving beef
IN public eating places of only one
meal each day and present volun-
tary program of householders pur-
chasing pound and one-half bone
beef and pound and one-quarter
clear beef should be discontinued;
but it is highly desirable that the
American public consumes medium
and lighter grades of cattle. thus
conserving the heavier animals for
our own armed forces and those OF
the allies.
Extreme drouth in the southwest
and other parts of the country Is
endangering meat herds. Produc-
ers are rushing light weight beef
~ A4t-A MT lA4h II SGLlAls uAtApSCItu
surplus of light cuts. All heavy
beef is for the present needed for
war exports. The food administra-
ton requests retail meat markets to
handle cattle which dress not over
475 pounds and urges public eating
places and public In general to Gre
ate demand for lightweight cuts.
The general policy of conservation
of all meat still encouraged, as a
measure to safeguard the future.
Men Is to 45 TO Register.
There seems to be no doubt at
the pres Mt time that the men from
the ages of IS to As will soon have
TO register. 1t is expected that this
/ date of registration will be in the
| fOrepart of the month of September.
! The local board of Mercer county
is already in receipt of information
| from Provost Marshal Crowder at
| Washington to be prepared to reg
! lister the men because as it now ap-
pears there will not be much time
after the passing of the bill till the
| registration day. The local boards
4 throughout the entire country are
urged to be ready to register the
men without any delay whatever.
1t is estimated there will be a vast
amount of men register on the day
set.
Fair Biggest and Best Ever.
The fair officials are busy every
day working out the many plans
which are to make this years fair
4 the best and biggest that the people
! of Mercer county ever had opportu-
nifty to attend. The special attrac-
/ lions engaged for this year are far
