My little girl was troubled with
scaly rough spots on her head. which
caused all her hair to come out. Her
head was broken out with very fine
pimples that festered. The breaking
out seemed to itch and burn causing
her to scratch and be very restless at
night. It made her look disfigured.

MUST REGISTER
ON DATE NAMED
YOung Men Who Are q On June >
Included Among Those Who
Have To Sign Cards.
ARE CONSIDERED or AGE
Misunderstanding Of Selective Ser
vice Law No Excuse In Pre-
venting Prosecution.

Rock Island young men who are
81 years old on June are includ-
ed in the law which applies TO the
registration Of men for draft who
have attained the age Of p since
June 8. 1917.
Through Misunderstanding Of
the new law, many OF the Rock Is
land youths believed they were ex-
empt from registering because they
understood that the law applied
only TO those who passed their
21st birthday before the recent
draft amendment was enacted.
Preparations for registering the
men are we'll under way at the
Rock Island exemption board. As
sistant clerks and registrars are
being secured to work on the day
set by the president as the national
registration day.
Rock Islanders will have but one
place to register. Headquarters for
the youths will be at the exemption
board on the top floor of the Peo-
pies bank building at the corner
of Second avenue and Eighteenth
street.
To Prosecute.
B. D. Connolly, clerk OF the ex-
emption board, said today in con-
nection with the registration day,
1T is of the utmost Importance 70
the young men who have passed
their 21st birthdays since June 3.
1917, that they present themselves
on June 8 for the purpose of regis
tering in the selective service. On
account of the fact that Rock Is
land is to have but one place to reg
lister, the young men should make
every preparation to be on hand
during the day to sign their cards.
After that day. those who do not
carry a registration card will be
considered slackers or draft evad-
ers and Will be prosecuted accord
ingly."

THREE MILLIONS
TO BE ASKED OF
NEXT TREASURER

When the next treasurer OF Rock
Island county takes his Office be
will be required to qualify with a
bond in the sum of $4,000. 900. None
has ventured out as a candidate
for the Office.
The bond required of the present
treasurer is 100000 one-tenth of
the amount to be asked in the flu
ture. The increase is caused by the
abolition OF the Office of town col
lector, making the treasurer the
collector for the county.
Town collectors and the treas
urer have been required by statute
to furnish a bond equal to double
the amount of money to be handled.
County officers have not found any
amendment that changes that re-
quirement, if there is one. Hereto
fore the town collectors have dis
tributed all moneys collected by
them, turning over to the county
treasurer only the county's share
of the funds.
In round figures the collection
from Rock Island and Moline Will
be $1,000.000, and half that amount
will be collected from the county
outside of the two large municipal
tiles.
The salary for the Treasurer is
fixed at 1880 under the present
system, and he is allowed $500 for
a deputy. Other sums are provid-
ed for clerk hire to be expended
during the weeks when extra help
is needed in the Office.
1t is probable that additional
compensation for the treasurer I'M
der the new system will be sug-
gested before the next officer as
sumes his duties, it being generally
recognized that the work of the
treasurer will be increased with the
added responsibility. Men who be-
come candidates for office, however,
have no assurance Of greater COM
pensation than is now allowed.
What ever may be the view of
the board of supervisors with ref
erence to the salary of the treas
urer under the amended law, it is
a certainty that more deputies or
clerks will be necessary. What ad-
ditional force will be required can
not be determined except by expert
ence
Under the amended statute lib
eral appropriations may be made
for administration of the affairs of
the Office, leaving a balance
amounting to thousands of dollars
in the county's favor over the old
system under which each collector
was allowed compensation.

MONEY IS BOARDED.

LONDON, Dec. 7.-Hoarding oi money has become rampant in Ger many. There has been a general run on the banks to close accounts and theft of hidden funds is of daily occurrence. With it's staff de pleted by the war the German treasury is turning out new cur rency at top speed, but according to the Lokal Anzeiger of Berlin "it melts away like snow when the sun shines" and the customary back flow into the treasury has ceased completely. The Reichsbank in the third quarter of this year issued A. GOO, ,000 marks in new money, or nearly twice the amount put out in the same period last year. In the first three weeks in October alone the bank issued 1,250, ,000, ,000 marks in new money. The govern
 ment has been compelled to make war loan coupons legal tender.

NO COPPER CONTRACT
 CANCELLED BY NATION

WASHINGTON, Dec '. - Up tc the present time government has cancelled none of it's copper con tracts. Copper interests do not look for such abrogations for some time to come. Abnormally high cost of labor is one of the greatest problems confronting the industry. As the Government is responsible for the high wage policy, it is point ed out that it should offer some means of protection to the compan- ies when industrial conditions again become normal.

SUN SPOTS

As astronomical authority re-
marks that the suns face is badly
spotted Just now. He is probably
right about it--anybody can find out
for himself by taking good look at
the sun through a telescope, with a
piece Of smoked glass to protect the
eye. There is nothing unusual about
the general situation. Old Sol is
subject to periodic eruptions on his
physiognomy. The present outbreak,
however. is interesting because 1t is
said to cover q larger area than US
ual, and because 1t may have q defi-
mite relation to the weather in q
season when weather is nightly i'm
portant.
There was just such a spottedness
ON Soils face. 1t appears, in the me-
teorologically famous year Of 1915.
That was the summerless year. when
the crops nearly all froze. and Ice
kept forming in July and August
through the Temperate zone. The
years preceding the following we're
nearly as bad. Authorities have ex-
planned the strange lapse from
weather regularity as due directly to
those solar spots. centers Of vast
disturbance in the suns luminous
atmosphere. diminishing its radiat

quantity OF heat sent to our eartf
and the other planets. "A pronounced
disturbance Of that sort is likely t

Are we in for such another ex
perience? There is no definit'
cause for alarm thus far, but variou
weather reports lately have beel
somewhat disquieting. The TEN
perature throughout most Of tn
United States in the last few week
has been considerably lower thai
usual. Prolonged cold rains, iniur

many. Brazil is said to have had it
