WILL BE STOPPED

Washington, Aug. 10.-Manufac-
turers of passenger automobiles
were advised by the war industries
board yesterday to convert their
plants to 100 per cent war work
LOT later than Jan. /. National Au-
JOmCbiIe Chamber OF Commerce re-
ceived the information in response

to curtail so per cent.
The letter in part follows:
The war industries board can
not at this time make any promise
whatsoever regarding the supply to
your industry Of steel, rubber or
other materials for any period in
advance.
We strongly believe that it is
to the best interests of all manu-
factureTs of passenger automobiles
to undertake to get on 100 per cent
war work as rapidly as possible,
and not later than Jan. /, 1919.
In no other way can you be sure
Of the continuance of your indus
try and the preservation Of your
organization"
One member of the board stated
that ALLEGATION Of steel has been
stopped and those who obtain
ed stocks prior to the restrictions
on delivery, will, in all probability,
have their supply taken by the gov
eminent.

Quickly Cured by

Wakefeld's Blackberry Balsam has
been the su-est and safest remedy for
Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Cholera Infan-
tum and Cholera Morbus for y years.
While it is quick and positive in its
actioG, it is unlike other remedies in
that it is harmless and does not con-
: stipate. It simply checks the trouble
and puts the stomach and bowels in
their natural, regular condition. OF
the millions of bottles that have been
sold, never has ease been reported
to the manufacturer where a cure
was not effected when directions were
followed, even after other remedies
had failed. Every home should have a
bottle or more on hand ready for sud

TRYING ONE FOR
ROBERT MULCAHY

Facing the most severe penal
ties, those returned for taking an
others life, Robert Mulcahy. al
legged murderer of officer Libman,
Rock Island policeman. spent his
first night il cell in the local po-
lice station yesterday.
He slept a part Of the time, but
when awake, it was plainly visible
that he was repenting his actions of
Thursday night.
His wife, who today is suffering
untold agony because of her hus-
bands misdeeds, called to see him
in his cell last night after she had
learned of his arrest.
The meeting was a strain for
both, the police say. They realized
what the results Of the Thursday
nights esca pade would be, or rath-
Ct forecaste what the courts would
decide.
Rumors current on the streets to-
day were to the effect that the cOu-
pie had not been living together for
some time. This was denied by
Mrs. Mulcahy to an Argus repre-
sentative this morning. She re-
fused to say more.
i will say nothing until the
proper time" Mrs. MuIcaby said.
When that time comes l will tell
all 1 know. All that I Will say is
that my husband and l have never
been separated"
She was on the back porch Of her
home this morning attending TO her

children about her. 1t could be
