pies disappear.

Pimples, sores and boils usually re-
suit from toxins, poisins and impur-
tiles which are generated in the
bowels and then absorbed into the
blood through the very ducts which
should absorb only nourishment to
sustain the body.
1t is the function of the kidneys to
filter impurities from the blood and
cast them out in the form of urine. but
in many Instances the bowels create
more toxins and impurities than the
kidneys can eliminate, then the blood
uses the skin pores as the next best
means of getting rid of these impuri-
ties which often break out all over the
skin in the form of pimples.
The surest way to clear the skin of
these eruptions. says noted author
ity. is to get from any pharmacy about
four ounces of lad Salts and take a
ia blespoonful in a glass of hot water
each morning before breakfast for one
week. This will prevent the forma-
ton of toxins in the bowels. 1t also
stimulates the kidneys to normal ac-
tivity, thus coaxing them to filter the
blood of impurities and clearing the
skin of pimples.

oyTLOOk FOR FUEL GOOD TODAY

Rock Island will be on its knees all
winter for coal.
This is the prediction made today by
II A. C'eyenstine, chairman of the
Rock Island county fuel board, who
said that while the outlook for coal to-
dsy was bright. tomorrow probably
will bring a setback that will make the
most optimistic doubtful.
Today there were 700 tons OF coal
in the local railroad yards and 2,40/
tols in transit headed for this city
Yesterday there were only 600 tons in
the Yards and 100 tons in transit.
The history OF the fuel situation has
been the same since the blizzard of
Two weeks ago paralyzed railroad SER
vice. One day the situations is bright,
the next day gloomy.
While the supply is good today and
there is a fair amount of coal in tran

Cleyenstine said. IAN instance of yes

how the supply fluctuates. Yesterday

tons. That's the situation with prac-
tically all dealers. 1t depends on the
mines Tomorrow this same dealer
may not have any on the way to him.
1t looks to me as if the uncertainty
will continue for some time and l
would not be surprised If the city is
down on its knees all winter begging
for coal.
Future Supply Uncertain.
There is nothing TO indicate that
conditions will become much better.
Nor is there anything that points out
that they are going to be WORSE 1t all
depends on the mines and the rail-
roads. However, with all practicing
conservation and the fuel-less holiday
and shorter business hours being
strictly observed, l believe there is
little danger that the city will suffer
shortage as bad as that Immediately
following the blizzard.
Moline, on the other hand, secures
less coal from mines from some dis
lance than Rock Island Yet. it gets
much coal from the mine in Coal Val
lev. whereas Rock Island gets little of
this local fuel"

this campaign might be put to far
better use when we are continually
told how necessary it is to scrape to-
gether all possible funds for the pros
ecution of the war. We believe that
every practical and fairminded citi-
zen would rather see this money de-
voted to the Red Cross and other char
tiles. We ourselves would be per-
fectly willing to take the funds which
have been set aside for the local op-
ton contest, which amounts to a con-
siderable sum, and apply it to such
charities rather than to see it wasted
on such a futile purpose. and we now
make this definite proposition, that
the money be used in this way and
the campaign abandoned by not filing
the petition.
1t is. therefore. up to the Minister
ial association and their associates to
determine whether this money shall
be willfully wasted or whether the
Red Cross and such charities as Beth
any home and ST. Anthony's new hos
pital shall have the benefit thereof.
AS an earnest of our proposition,
we will, upon request, furnish the
exact amount of money which we have
available, this being approximately
$4,000 at this time.

UNNECESSARY WASTE POINTED

Rock Island, Jan. 2S-Editor Argus:
1t looks as if Rock Island is again to
be subjected to the bitter controversy
of another local option campaign this
spring. with its attendant turmoil.
when a part. of our citizens will be
arrayed against the others in support
of either side of the question and
when friends and business men will
be forced into strife and acrimony,
instead of all pulling together in the
commercial advancement OF our city.
And to what purpose?
II this program were especially de-
signed to please our neighboring
cities, who are showing much concern
over the marked progress of our
Chamber of Commerce. to say nothing
OF the patronage in every line of bust
ness which our tradesmen are enjoy
ing, then the plan would be a won
derful success. But what does Rock
Island get out of it? If the unity of
purpose under which we are now
working is destroyed then we shall
simply fall back into our old position
OF being the least progressive of the
trl-clties and thus sacrifice the advan-
tageous position which we now oc-
cupy. This is all Rock Island will
get out Of it; nothing more.
The best informed men in Rock
| Island agree almost unanimously
that a large percentage of our voters
are not in favor of a dry" city for
various reasons. The results of every
campaign in the past have proved this
| conclusively by the increased major
tiles against the proposition whenever
the attention Of the voter has been
properly called to the merits of the
issue. There can be no question about
this, as two years ago there was a
majority of upwards of two thousand
votes.
Furthermore, as the national gov
eminent recently decreed that the
question of prohibition should be set
tied by the country at large, and as
this Will come uD a. the next session
OF the legislature. Of our state, it is
a peculiarly inopportune time to draw
Rock Island into this disturbance
when We are burdened with so many
other vital problems in connection
with the war and are called upon al
most every day to NIKE some addi-
tional sacrifice, financial and other
wise.
Held to Be Willful Waste.

Tom Moore says that among other
pleasant things in working for the
movies he might mention that he has
not once been stranded penniless in a
strange town since leaving the legit.
Some years ago and in his early days
Moore did the low comedy in the ten
twenty-thirt' and his first five parts
in work of the sort landed him strand
ed in five different cities.
Moore has had success in the NOV
les since the first, not only because
of his personal charm but because OF
his vigor and the admirable restraint
he always employs. Playing oppo-
site Alice Joyce in Kalem pictures h,
took the eye of film fans with his
ease OF manner and unaffected man
illness. Though he has played in many
important productions there are none
in which he has pleased more than
in Dollars and Cents" with Ethel
Clayton. Albert PaysOn Terhune, the
author of the piece, spoke warmly OF
Moore's INSTALLATION of the difficult
part he essayed.
Tom Moore, with his two brothers,
Owen and Mat, have been called the
lucky Moores," perhaps because they
have all been successful in pleasing
the fans of the film. 1t has been dis
puted as to which of the three broth
ers possesses in the greatest degree
the qualities shared by all.
