EVERY MEAL A
POISONOUS INJECTION

Few folks suffering from kidney
and bladder troubles ever think
that the meals they are taking are
Fastening their death. Every NOR
sci of food taken gives up its guam
tity Of uric acid. This poison is
taken into the system through a
diseased condition OF the kidneys
and bladder. In the healthy man
nature provides an outlet for this
poison. Those in ill-health must
take a medicinal help to drive this
death-dealing poison from the sys-
TEN. For over 200 years GOLD

CITY IS UNDER
FEDERAL EYES
Government Men Complain Of Sani-
tary and Fire Department Stu
atoms in East Moline.

If East Moline property owners
do not heed the warning of the city
officials in regard to removing out
door toilets, government officials
are liable to step in and see that
conditions are bettered.
This week East Moline officials
are mailing notices to all property
owners who have outhouses on
their premises and are asking for
their removal within 80 days. Mod
eTn plumbing must be installed and
connections made with city sewers
before the end of the allotted per-
iod. 1t is estimated that there are
200 such places that will be affect
ed by the order.
East Moline's one-man fire de-
Partment is also coming in for
criticism from the government,
since Uncle Sam does not fancy the
idea of having only one man on duty
in the city to handle fires which
may break out at the several con-
Germs manufacturing war supplies.
Chief George Sargison is the sole
member of the firefghting brigade
at present and even with the full
force of three men the department
has inadequate help. The low pay
schedule which the city is forced
to run on is responsible for the sit
uation. New ladders and equipment
are also being insisted upon by the
federal officials it is rumored.

MOTHERS ASKED
TO HAVE THEIR
BABES WEIGHED

At the request Of the govern
ment, weighing and measuring of
babies continues in East Moline.
This afternoon from 2 o'clock I'M
til 5 the community nurses, Miss
NJ. B. Smith and Miss Anna Rich
ardson were scheduled to be at
the Garfield and Mckinley schools
to take care of any babies that
mothers might bring in. From .
o'clock until 3 on Thursday they
will be at ST. Mary's school for
the same purpose.
Every Wednesday and Friday
afternoon has been set aside by
the nurses for weighing and meas
Uring the infants at their office
above the five and ten cent store.
Should any mother not care TO
bring her child to the schools or
to the office for registering she
may have the family physician eX-
anime her provided she is armed
with an official registration card
which can only be secured at the
office Of the community nurses.
The work in East Moline is be-
ing carried on under direction or
Mrs. A. E. Rockwell of the wom-
ems committee of the national
defense, this department being
known as the child welfare divi
sion. The government is this year
striving TO save 100000 babies.
Last year 100000 children under
the age of five years died, accord =
ing to figures given out at Wash
ingtOn.

Miss Detroit III and Miss Minneap-

Boat Races July 4.

People Of the tri-cities will have
the opportunity of Witnessing two
or the fastest motor boats fn the
country on July 4, and 6, when
Miss Detroit II and Miss Minneap-
oils will appear in the regatta of
the Mississippi Valley Power Boat
association at Campbells island.
Assurance that these two speed
craft will make their appearance
here was given by members of the
association race committee last
evening at a conference with Maui
rice Bockaert, secretary of the Mo-
line Launch club and NJ. j. Duryea,
secretary of the Moline Commercial
club. In addition to the two Mo-
line men there were present at the
meeting, J. W. Sackrider, Racine,
Wis; c. P. Hanley, Muscatine;
Harry DOdley, Davenport; E. H.
VanPatten, Davenport.
The Miss Detroit and Miss Min
neapolis are both capable of max

tition with the boats of the tri-
cities local people will see the

against time as a part of the per-
formance and it is possible that
these trials may be pulled off in the
Moline pool on the river front for
the benefit of those who are not
able to get to Campbell's island
Whether or not the speed trials
will be staged in the pool will de-
pend on the course and telephone
connections, so that the time may
be phoned in to the judges. In these
trials on a straightaway course an
attempt will be made to break the
mile record.
The program of races calls for
events in four classes, heats to
every class to be run each day dur
ing the regatta. The entrants will
compete for the Thomas webb
championship cup, valued at 81 900,
for, the Minneapolis cup and the
admirals cup, the last mentioned
trophy to be selected by the race
committee.
In addition to these events there
will be events in the displacement
class for boats not essentially rae
ers. Several boats are being built
specially for the local races and
there will be a big array of speed
craft here. Miss Peoria may be
here, and Commodore Pugh may

BATHING BEACH
SOUGHT AS HOT
WEATHER COMES

Since the shrubbery, bushes and
high grass have disappeared from
the vicinity of Forty-eighth street,
Moline, there is nary a place for
those seeking a cooling swim in tie
Mississippi, to change their clothes.
The tents erected by George Gould
last summer to serve as bath
houses have also disappeared and
he states that for lack of pecuniary
gain he will not reaopen his ac-
cOmmodations this year And so
MOliners wonder where they can
go TO find a convenient bathing
beach.
When asked concerning the es-
Enlistment of a municipal beach,
city commissioners yesterday
lodged the question and apparently
cared not TO interest themselves in
the matter.
One heat sufferer who thought
that he would inaugurate a big city
idea the other day started to the
river clothed only in his bathing
suit and a rain coat. But by the
time he had reached the corner to
board street car the stares OF the
public had scared him out and thus
ended the big city method.

HILL REPORTED
BADLY INJURED
Official Message Sent to Parents
OF Former Moline Boy Is
More Grave Than His Own,

After receiving cabIegram
from their son, Willard D. Hill
telling them that he had been
slightly wounded in the leg, Mr..
and Mrs. S. NJ. Hill, formerly Of
Moline. now residing at Cleburne,
Tex, have received the following
official message:
Deeply regret to inform YOU
that it is officially reported that
Lieutenant Willard D. Hill, signal
corps, was severely wounded in
action, May o. Will send any full
their information received.
"MCANN,
"Adjutant General"
Mr.. and Mrs. Hill have also 1e-
ceived a Cablegram from their
niece, Miss Jessie Hill, Of Minneap-
oils, who is doing reconstruction
work among refugees in France.
Miss Hills message says that Will
lard had suffered a flesh wound,
but was getting along nicely.
The messages from Willard and
from Miss Hill arrived before the
official report and the parents be-
lieve that the two attempted to
relieve their anxiety by making
light of the wound. With the seri-
GUS tone of the official message
Mr. and Mrs Hill realize that their
son is probably badly hurt, but
they are confident he is receiving
the best of care and are bearing
up well under the strain of wor-
ry.
Mr.. Hill will be remembered as
a former Moliner by many tri-
city friends. At the time of his
enlistment in the aviation corps he
was attending Cornell university
and soon after arriving overseas
received his ieutenant'S commits
sion.

MOLINE PLOW rs

Sergeant Carlson writes that the
country where he now is located
IS particularly beautiful and a
pretty river winds it's way through
the valley turning fashioned
water-whels and then again runs
through a farm or village where i
becomes a community wash tub,
women lining the stream while they

THE French are an enduring and
a thrifty people and in spite of the
drain on man power they go on
cultivating their fields with pains
taking efforts. How they manage
all the work is more than 1 know
for the implements they use are
crude to what we are accustomed
to. The plows they use are of tho
walking sulky type. 1t also seems
queer to see the horses hitched up
in single file and mainly guided by
word of mouth

NOTABLE RECORD
MADE BY MOLINE
REGISTRY BOARD

OF the 5,400 men registered in
Moline under the selective draft
law 40 per cent were placed i'll
class one. The percentage for all
boards in the country is % per
cent and some boards dropped as
low as II per cent. So Moline
thinks that its showing is worthy
Of note.
Because the percentage of class
one men has been so large, the
Moline board is not anticipating
heavy work when it is ordered by
the provost marshal general to
reclassify the men in order to
bring the first class up to GER
tain fixed percentage of all regis
tered.
