PLAY PARKS TO
BE READY SOON
RecreatiOnaI Grounds for Children
of City VIII Open When Super
visor Comes.
TO ARRIVE HERE NEXT MONTH
Have Four Places Arranged for and
May Secure Another During
the Summer.

The civic department of the Rock
Island women's club has secured
the services of Mrs. Mary Lamber-
ton of Loda, Ill, as general super
visor of the four Rock Island play
grounds.
Mrs. Lamberton will arrive in the
city in the early part OF June and
the Fairgrounds will then be OPP
ened. In previous years the play
grounds were under the direction
OF the civic department, but a su-
pervisor 10 conduct the programs
was lacking. The four grounds to
be opened this year are located on
Fifth avenue and Twenty-tifth
street, Font fifth street and Ninth
avenue, Denkmann square and Long
View Park. 1t is probable that an
other site will be opened this sum-
mer.
20 Meet Soon.
A meeting of the department will
be held soon after the arrival of
Mrs. Lamberton, at which time
more definite arrangements will be
made. This division of the wom-
ans club which originally opened
these grounds to keep children oc-
cupied at helpful recreation, have
done many other civic turns to the
advantage of the community.

 TO ASSIST IN NURSING,
Miss Lyda Anderson Points Out In creasing Need Fer Women In
 Five States.

A plea for volunteers to assist III nursing was issued by the Red Cross yesterday through Miss Lyda M. An- derson, Director of Nursing Service for the Southwestern Division.
 'Influenza is spreading rapidly in the five states, Missouri, Kansas, Ar kansas, Oklahoma and Texas" said Miss Anderson.
 "It is imperative that we utilize to the full all of our nursing resources, if we are to avert a serious epidemic. Many do not realize our resources, so far as graduate nurses are concerned, are decidedly limited. To cope with the epidemic it will be necessary 10 enlist the services of every woman with nursing experience, whether she be an amateur or professional.

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CAN
 NOT BE CURED.

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure ca tarrhal deafness, and that is by constitutional remedy. Catarrhal deafness is caused by an infIamed condition of the mucous lining of the >Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the re- suit. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mu- cous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medi- cine acts through the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cured by Halls Ca- tarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All Druggists, 75c.

EPIDEMIC GROWING WORSE IN
 THE CAPITAL CITY

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Oct. 12.-The influen- ga epidemic is growing worse.
 There is an increasing number of cases, and 1t appears to me of more severe type.
 A great many deaths are occurring from pneumonia and other complica- tions resulting from it.
 Dr. c. W. Garrison, the State Health Officer, says he sees no pros pect of early relief. He received an official message yesterday announc- ing that there had been 2303 deaths in Boston sine the outbreak of the epidemic, indicating that the per centage of fatalities in the East is greater than in this section.
 The disease is spreading rapidly all over the state.
 A total of more than 500 new cases was reported in Little Rock yester- day, making more than 5000 in the city since the outbreak of the epi- demic.
 The quarantine order was made more rigid yesterday, by closing all retail stores except rug stores, soda fountains, cigar stores, food stores and restaurants at 4 p. m., and that they shall not open before 9:30 a. m. Business offices exclusive of banks are ordered to close not later than 4:30 p. m.
