Autumn has come, and the Chestnut Street Shops, rejecting in
their goods all the glories of its changing hues, arr a riot of gor-
geous colols 5, yet in no other prominent street in the country will
less trash be seen. Nothing but the best in quality and style is
offered, and for every dollar spent full value is received. There is
no thrift in purchasing cheap, inferior materials that wear out and
must be constantly renewed. Articles guaranteed to be as repre-
sented are the most enduring and the cheapest in the long run.
True economy is the right use of thrft-to know how to use thrift
is to have economy.

ON
POLICE MATTER
One Night Passes by Without Gus
tCmaTy HOldups, But Cfty
Heads to Add to Force.

Although last night passed by
without either a burglary or hold
up, Rock Island city officials re-
main pessimistic over the crime
situation, with the result that the
police force is to be increased. This
decision has been reached regard
less Of the fact that the city treas
ury is peTilously low.
The members on the police force
at the present time are considered
efficient, and proof OF this is had by
the success of the officers in appre-
hending persons who have commit
ted capital crimes. on the other
hand, the force is not large enough
to bring to a stop the series Of
holduDs and hurglaTies that are be
ing committed
Some provision not yet worked
out is TO be made TO obtain the
money with which TO pay increased
salary budgets, and everything pos
sibIe will be done to give the city
police protection.

REGULATION ON
FOODS CHANGED
only Restriction Is on Public Eat
ing Houses H0usehOlders
Asked TO Save.

Food regulations affecting all
households have been completely
lifted, according to information Civ
en- out today by N. o. Griswold,
local food administrator. Certain
regulations are still in effect re-
garding public eating houses.
Although the regulations have
been lifted as to food purchased by
householders, the food administra-
ton requests thai citizens volun-
tarily continue to save all food
stuffs. 1t is especially requested
that each person limit himself to
four pounds of sugar month.
New regulations covering public
eating houses give notifications al
lowing twO-thirds Of an ounce OF
sugar per person, two ounces of
wheat bread or not over -four
ounces of other breads, and meat
is not to be served at more than
one course.
The food situation is now IN such
shape as to allow the lifting Of
strict regulations. but persons
should continue voluntarily to save
food to aid in the program for send
ing supplies to the starving people
Of Europe.
The local administrator believes
that the food administration forces
are soon to be demobilized. How
ever, one restriction, the boarding
OF food, will remain and its viola
tion will bring punishment. phis
action will be strictly enforced.
