on the same ground 1t might be as
sumed that an antI5eptic solution
of some kind applied in the form
Of a spray to the lining OF the nose
or as a mouthwash or gargle ap-
piled to the lining OF the mouth and
throat will aid in curing infections
OF these regions. Such an idea Is
wrong. In order to destroy or even
inhibit the growth of disease germs
III such a tissue as the lining of the
nose or throat you must at the
same time destroy the lining itself.
At any rate, nobody has thus far
discovered any antiseptiC or germl-
cfdal substance which will pene-
trate tissue and inhibit the growth
OF or destroy germs without seri-
ously injuring the tissue or destroy
ing it at the same time.

NOTED

Anything which is free OF germs
is said to be aseptic-without poi
son. Surgeons nowadays use asep-
tic methods so far as possible in
operating and in the aftaT-care OF
the operative wound. Cotton which
has been steriIized by steam under
pressure is aseptic, not antisepuc,
and particularly not 'medicated
as the young lady across the way
would call it CheeseCloth tgauzeJ
freed of germs is aseptic, not anti
septic
Antiseptics are substances which
diminish or prevent the ordinary
rapid multiplication of germs, and
antiseptics do not necessarily kill
germs. A substance or condition
which actually kills germs is germ
icidal. The blood fluid itself is
naturally germicidaI; the cells OF
healthy tissues have sufficient
germicidaI power to repel ordinary
infection Sunlight is germicidal.
Fresh air is antiseptic.
Infection does not mean the en-
trance Of germs into the throat or
nose cavity, for instance. 1t means
the entrance Of germs into the It's
sues. The germs of common, yul-
gar cold in the head for in
stance, do no harm so long as
they remain on the lining of the
nose cavity; you suffer no i'll eff
fects until the germs invade the
lining membrane, and then you are
infected with the disease
If a doctor thinks no deeper than
the thickness Of paper he is likely
to imagine, with the untutored lay
man that something which will de-
strOy germs with which it comes in
contact will prevent such a respira-
tory infection as that just mention
ed And so it may, provided you
apply the antiseptic or germicide
Immediately after the germs have
lodged upon the lining membrane
of the nose, and provided your anti
septic or germicidal application
does not at the same time destroy

The Old Year and the New.

Rock Island found 1918 its eventful year.

Killing of Sheriff Wigers.

Coming as the elimination of long series OF out
RACES the killing Of Sheriff Wigers last night mas
thoroughly aroused the community.
Tho time has come for a showdown on the ques-
ton OF paroled prisoners. We have right at least
to know what is being done about them
We do not know that men sent here from the
state prisons took part in last nights crime but since
they have figured in practically every case OF recent
IavIessness in which arrests have been made 1t is
fair presumption that they were, The number IL
,olve5 the holiness and assurance with which they
worked indicating experience in such enterprises
were factors tending to the same conclusion
. We do know that a paroled prisoner, whilo
Under arrest in the Rock Island police station less
than q hours before the sheriff killed expressed
the confident opinion that holding the road houses
in this county would be SNAP" far more alluring
for men of his stripe, both in of accomplish
eDt and amount OF prospective returns, than street
hoIdups and safe bIowings. This is at least sgnifi-
cant in that it shows that confirmed criminals many
Of whom unquestonabIy have been sent here, have
habit OF keeping an eye out for easy money"
Even if they themselves fear go after it they might
and probably would suggest the idea to someone
else.
We DO know also, Lhat the pFooieA Vi ID" Gil
forcenent is greatly complicated for local peace Of
ncers by reason Of the presence of many paroled
men in the community. Undoubtedly outside Grim
nas have been attracted here lately because there is
better chance for them to work Undecided in
place where there are many suspects. The recent
plot for jail delivery furnished evidence Of team
work between paroIed men and outside crooks.
When VIII CoIvin superintendent Of the depart
ment Of paroles and pardons, left here after his re-
cent investigation" he was quoted as expressing
the opinion that the crime had been broken.
He said also that the parole board had policy
the details Of which ne did to make public.
Events have proved that the crime was not
broken and the policy he referred to, whatever it
was evidently has contributed little nothing to
that desirable end 1t is in order for Mr.. Col
win to make explanations Since he has utterly failed
Of results is up other authorities to step
in to cope with an intOlerable situation
Staying Of Sheriff Wigers also directs attention
to the nuisance of the gallon houses Run practic-
ally without regulation isolated country districts
and visited all hours Of the day and night by
and women they are a deplorable to the NOR
ais of the community. They ought to be suppressed
as common nuisances.

GERMANS MAKE
STAND ON NORTH

Lines Stabilized to Contest Ad.
vance of Americans Now
in Woods and Hills
South of River.

With the American Army Along
the Aisne, Sept. 6.-The American
line on the Aisne front extended this
forenoon through Revillon and across
(deleted), and then southeasteriy to
the line held by the French. The
latter had not yet left their positions
westward from Rheims.
There are indications OF another
temporary sterilization OF the lines.
The Americans progressed during the
night and this forenoon, the main
line was just in front Of the Aisne
positions, and the American patrols
were in contact with those OF the Ger
mans in the wooded slopes.
The Germans appear TO have estab-
hshed themselves in force along the
big canal paraleling the river and
there is little doubt that they will
contest from there the advance of
both the French and the Americans.
One indication that the. Germans in
tend to delay their departure from the
Aisne to the Ohemin Des Danes was
supplied by their, putting into action
again their long range naval piece,
Shells from this gun fell during the
night upon Fismes and its environs.
The character OF the fighting since
yesterday has, not changed. The
machine gun nests were found perhaps
somewhat more. numerous and. the ar
tillery action at times was bit
heavier, But concentrated defensive
action was still lacking. "#"

Employers Advised to
Ask Exemption Of
Men Needed at Home

Washington, Sept. O. Because
many men OF the new draft ages are
expected to refuse to claim exemp-
ton from military service, regardless
of the need for them at home, the
provost marshal generals office to-
day suggested that employers or in
terested dependents should not fail
to file formal claims in such cases.
II is pointed out that the form OF
the questionable purposely leaves
the exemption claim open to be filled
by others than the registrant him
self. General Crowder's staff feels
that failure to present legitimate ex-
cmption claims for sentimental rea-
sons will almost certainly work hard
ships and injustice.
