T0SEND GUARD
As POLICE AID
Mayer Announces Crime Wave May
NCccssi ate Appeal TO Gov
erU1r IN Near Future.
MUST PROTECT RESIDENTS
Says Parole Prisoners Can Be
Largely Blamed for Existing
Conditions in City.

Governor Frank o. Lowden may
be asked by Mayor William Nc
Couoclie TO send militia to Rock Is
land 10 aid in policing the city in
case the present crime wave con-
tiuues uuabated.
Whether or not the crime wave
can he attributed in the main to pa
rolled prisoners is a question IN
auswerable by city officials, but it
Is q fact that the majority OF hold
up men arrested by the police are
paroIed prisoners. and in addition
q EoOdly number Of such men have
been held to the grand jury in cases
OF burglary and larceny, for at
tacks on girls and women and an
additional number have been re
turned To the penal institutions
from which they were paroled for
various parole violations.
Mayor McCOnochie states that the
city's treasury has not sufficient
funds TO pay salaries to a greatly
Increased police force. which would
be necessary to give ample prOtec-
ton in case the crime wave con-
tinUes and as the state paroked the
prisoners this community should
not be forced to pay out big sums
to men to watch them, but on the
other hand The state should take
this responsibility
The stand taken by States AttOr-
ney Floyd f Thompson on the sit
Latf0n was published yesterday and
he contends that paroIed prisoners
should not be kept at work here
while citizens Of this community
are being laid Off at the Rock Is
land arsenal
Many Here.
approximately twenty-five hun
dred conTicts have been paroled in
the state The number sent to this
community numbers over eight
hundred. Of the 10 parole agents
named to have charge Of the entire
number Of prisoners paroled in the
state. five agents are accredited to
this community.
Members Of Rock Islands small
police force are kept busy all day
and night in either answering calls
where burgIaries or hOldupS have
been perpetrated OF in seeking evil
derce of the perpetrators of the
crimes.
Fear Results.
Special fear is voiced by city Of
ficials IN the fact &hat the hOldup
men now working in the city fash
rev0Ivers promiscuOusly, and it is
believed that they would use them
with muTderous intent If cornered.
In the SchauI murder case a for
mer convict was arrested and
charged with the crime. He con
fessed the deed and it was learned
that he was paroled from IRE Lin
coin. Neb-, penitentiary; had been
arrested in Davenport in Septem-
Der. 1917. for violation of his pa
role. but had gained cIemency
through the efforts of relatives. He
had been working IN this commu-

The fact that Nuxated Iron is today being used by over three million people annually
 and that so many physicians are prescribing it as a tonic, strength and blood builder in
 weak, nervous, rundown conditions has led
 to an investigation of its merits by desig- mated physicians and others whose reports should be of great importance to the public
 generally. Among these is the statement made by Dr. James Francis Sullivan, form erly physician of Bellevue Hospital (Outdoor Dept), New York, and Westchester County Hospital, who says: "When one patient after another began asking my opinion of Nuxated Iron, resolved to go thoroughly into the subject and find out for myself whether or not it possessed the real value claimed by its manufacturers and attested to by so many prominent people. This is exactly what I believe every honest. conscientious physician should do before prescribing or lending his endorsement to any product whatsoever. If an article is worthless we practitioners ought to be the first to know of it and if it is efh- cacious we are in duty bound to recommend it for the welfare of our patients. A study of the composition of the Nuxated Iron for mula so impressed me with the therapeutic efficacy of the product that immediately tested it in number of obstinate cases. So quickly did it increase the strength, energy and endurance of the patients to whom il was administered that became firmly con- Vinced of its remarkable value as tonic and blood builder. have since taken it my
