LOST CAR OF WATERMEL L0NS
Food Administration Took Over
Spoiled Consignment From
Florida

A carload Of waterm elons shipped
TO the commission firm OF Goodner-
Malone was taken In charge yester.
day by Food Administrator G. r.
Douglas, who wired the Florida con
signee to release the shipment to
the local bank which held the bill OF
ladlng, so that an adjustment could
be made under the regulations as
laid down by the national food ad-
ministratlon The melons were al
legged TO he unfit for consumption.
Such OF tho melons as are market
able will bo sold and n settlement
will be made under the supervision
OF the local food administration. The
remainder will be destroyed.
Watermelons are higher this year
than ever before and have been re-
failing at s15Ooto 81 each. All
shipments so far received have come
from Florida and southern Georgia
and the high freight rates are one
OF the causes Of the high prices. AZ
ter the first OF tho month, when the
new freight rates 60 into effect they
would be still higher, but by that
time the crops nearer homo will be
coming on the market, which will
ncutrallze the increase in freight
rates.

SERGEANT FARNAM
AUTHOR OF A BOOK

Sergeant Ruth Farnam, who
spoke in Rock Island yesterday.
has written a book dealing with
conditions in Serbia, where she has
spent much of her time during the
last six years. The title Is "A Ma
ton at Bay" II is a good book,
because the sergeant herself says
so. and anyone who had the pleas
ure of meeting the author will be
prepared to accept her endorse
ment as sufficient. The work is
being gotten out by the Bookseller
rill company. 1t Is not yet in the
market, but orders may be taken
at local book stores for 1t. The
price will be $1.50. The proceeds
of the sale have been donated in
advance to Serbian relief. and the
author hopes that purchasers will
refuse to loan to friends, thus pro-
noting wider sale
Sergeant Farnam is grand
daughter of former officer of the
Rock Island road, but since she
does not spell her name with an
'h" she makes no claim of rela-
tionship with Russell Farnham,
first white settler on the site of
the present city of Rock Island.

IS FL0ATER OLD

Believed Remains FOHnd in River
Mt Davenport Are Those of Jack
DriscOll of Fight Fame.
WAS FRIEND OF SULLIVAN
Visited Friends In Iowa Town Two
Weeks Ago and Since Then All
Trace of Him Is Lost.

j. A. Driscoll, whose body was
found in the river at the foot of
Division street Monday, is believ-
ed to have been a one time well
known heavy weight pugilist, fam
ed in sporting circles in the balmy
days OF John l.. Sullivan
Jack Drisco1l, as he was known
to ring followers years ago, had
once been railroad man. He was
a great fight fan and from child
hood was considered a conner. He
left the railroad to seek a career
in the squared circle He had
fought and won memorable con-
tests with some of the best big
men of his time.
He was a personal friend of John
L. Sullivan, Jake Kilrain, Charley
Mitchell and half a dozen others
who have long since passed out
He has a brother, a wealthy farm

DR.. Chandler had no opportunity
of viewing the remains. He knew
nothing of the case until after the

of the dead man | cannot believe it

much heavier man than the dead

Jack"
The condition of the body, &C
cording to E. A Horrigan, under
taker, made it difficult to ascertain
with any degree of accuracy, the
weight of the dead man. The body
was bloated. Mr.. Horrigan believes
the man might have been as heavy
as the ring fighter, who weighed
about 100 popnds
Sure 1t Was Jack.
Others who knew the pugilist
and who viewed the body before
the funeral Monday were equally
certain it was Jack.
A stranger. one of the 80 men
who viewed the corpse. stated with
positiveness, that's Jack beyond a
doubt"
The man refused to give his
name. When questioned he re-
piled, 1T matters not who l am;
I'm sure that's Jack. that's all"
One fact in the case is certain:
Jack Driscoll, the pugilist, was in
Davenport two weeks ago. He
talked with Dr. Chandler No
trace of him since has been discov-
cred.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets

That's what thousands of stomach
sufferers are doing now. Instead OF
taking toniCs, or trying to patch up a
poor digestion, they are attacking the
real cause of the ailmept - clogged
liver and disordered bowels. o.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets arouse
the liver in a soothing, healing way.
When the liver and bowels are per-
forming their natural functions, away
goes indigestion and stomach troubles.
If you have a bad taste in your
mouth, tongue coated, appetite poor,
lazy, don't-care feeling, no ambition or
energy, troubled with undigested foods,
you should take Olive Tablets, the
substitute for calomel.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are a
purely vegetable compound mixed with
olive oil. You will know them by their
olive color. They do the work without
gripping, cramps or pain.
Take one or two at bedtime for quick
relief, so you can eat what you like.
