PLAN TO IMPROVE
RIVER BEACH FOR
USE OF SOLDIERS

According to an announcement
made this morning by Secretary
Padget OF the Moline war camp
community service, a lease has been
secured On the property of the Be-
der Wood estate at Forty-eighth
street and plans are being made to
erect on it a bath house and i'm
prove the beach bordering it for
the use of arsenal soldiers and
members of the patriotic league.
Others will not be denied the use
OF the beach except at certain times
when it will be reserved exclusively
for soldiers and the girls of the
league. A matron will be placed
in charge of the house and a super
intendent will be employed to look
after the beach. 1t is probable that
a lffe-saver will also be stationed
there. The lease it is said is eff
fective at once and does not expire
until Oct. l.
At present city and state fficials
have warned against bathing in the
river by persons who have not been
vaccinated for typhoid.

APPROVE BEANS.

The Hague-The Boston baked
bean. formerly despised except by
the humble classes of Holland, has
been restored to public favor by
the recent embargo on shipments of
wheat from America. Forty thou
sand acres of land have been con-
verted into areas for growing beans
and peas.
Queen WiIhelmina is setting an
example for her subjects in Guilt
waiting cereals by growing rye on
the lawns of her country estate of
Het Loo.
Trade in food substitutes thrivos
amazingly. The police Of Alkamaar
recently seized 400 bales of roasted
flower bulbs and 400 pounds of
milled acorns which were intended
for use in making coffee.
Much of the shortage of milk,
butter, eggs, meat and fresh vege-
tables is due to the fact that Hol-
land has to barter many of these
good things for German coal and
ir0n.

DR.. TAYLOR SAYS
BUSINESS MEN Do
GOODFARM WORK

; DIR. W. E. Taylor says that three
Moline business men at least can
qualify for jobs as farm hands. He
gave the decision after watching
the trio pitch grain yesterday on
the Homewood farm. The three are
C. B. Hall, George Brumbaugh and
John Sundine.
The battle wasn't won without
casualties, however, and it was c.
B. Hall to whom first aid was first
rendered. The sun was hot and the
work was hard, and finally it seem
ed to the industrious secretary Of
the Moline Y that things wouldn't
stay still. He commenced to get
weak, and then came the call for
aid. DR.. Taylor proved the hero,
and the treatment he used was a
bowl of milk and some bread.
Things began to become normal
again and Hall resumed work. To-
day he says: Three and one-half
loads myself, and Brumbaugh and l
pitched r. Look at those blisters
on my hands; but l guess I'll go
back tomorrow if l get the chance"
But" continued DR.. Taylor, eff
Hoover could have seen those men
eat their supper at 1880 when the
work was done, he would have been
inclined to put limit on the ra-
tons"
The men will continue to work
today and will be joined by other
Rotarians. Moline business men
are responding splendidly to the
call of the government and the
farmers certainly appreciate it.

SOLDIERS REAP
LARGE HARVEST

Neutrality-suspicious. OF Tho
Associated Press)-Acres and
acres OF gardens located near the
American base hospitals are now
beginning to bring forth their har-
vests of vegetables. All were cul-
tivated by American wounded
convalescents, who attended to the
growing of the produce.
Not alone has the venture been
one of great economy for the hos
pitfalls. The work of cultivation
has been done upon the prescrip
lions of the medical surgeons SO
that a double purpose is accom-,
plished. The garden work pro-
vides relaxation for the men after
their strenuous times on the bat
tlefront and their painful anxiety
in the hospital wards. The di-
version acts as a recreatiye agen-
cy in bringing back the mien to
normal mental and physically state.
The gardens are worked gentire-
ly by convalescents. Not SIN
gle dollar has been spent inr hired
labor. The army has undertaken
comprehensive plan of GTmy pro-
visioning along these lines. The
American Red Cross also is CO.
operating by the establishment of
smaller plots in the centers where

UNBOILED WATER
STILL A MENACE
AT RESTAURANTS

In spite OF the warning issued by
municipal and state officials, some
restaurants and soda fountains in
Moline are continuing to serve un-
boiled city water, and by so doing
are in all probability aiding in the
spread of the dreaded typhoid fe-
yer. Yesterday afternoon NJ. ].
Sjoblom, acting chief engineer for
the state department of health, who
is in the city Investigating the
cause OF the epidemic, declared that
all water used for soft drinks, ice
cream sodas, pop, ginger ale and
coca cola should be boiled
The engineer stated that it is
probable that the present epidemic
developed the latter part of June.
His investigation, he said, has not
gone far enough to determine the
cause. 1T takes from Il to 81 days
for a case of typhoid to develop,
and practically the earliest case of
the present run of the disease was
reported this month";" said Mr.. Sjo-
blom.
He declares that he personally in
formed the city commission last
February that city water was the
cause of the typhoid fever last win
ter Some Moliners were of the
opinion that the state had made no
report on local conditions until
May.
DR. A. NJ Beal today assumed his
duties as city health physician dur
ing the absence of DR.. W. It. Hin

dergo an operation.

THIRD DEATH IN
MOLINE PLAGUE
Mrs. William Bobke Succumbs to
Typhoid-1s0 Cases Show
No Abatement.

The third victim of the present
typhoid epidemic was reported this
morning. Mrs. William Bobke,
aged AZ, zoos Fifteenth street A.
died at a Moline hospital. Since
yesterday IL new cases have been
reported, making a total of 120
cases of the disease at present.
A dairy inspector has been sent
to Moline by the state board of
health to investigate diaries and
dealers in milk around the vicinity
of Moline. Lack of money, it is
said by Commissioner Stouffer, is
preventing the city and state from
speeding up investigations and en-
forcing existing ordinances. In
answer to the suggestion that an
other chemist be employed, he said
that the city did not have the
money and that it would be fmpos-
Sible to get men.
The city commission is still CON
Sidering" the new health ordinance
presented yesterday by DR. Nc
Chane of the state health board.
Commissioner Stouffer declared
that the city had all the health or
dlnances that it could enforce. He
promised to enforce that part of
the present ordinance regarding
protection of fruit and vegetables
from flies. A suggestion that warn
ings to boil water should be
printed in foreign languages in or
der that all the population might
read was discountenanced by Stout
fer who said it would be impossible
to print bills warning such class
of people.
Commissioner Stouffer and
Health Officer Lind blad both adj
mitted that they had not been vac
cinated for typhoid when ques-
toned by a reporter this morning.
The former said he had not had
time, though it was a good idea
and finally said he was going TO
be vaccinated The latter said he
was very careful and did not be-
lieye he would get the disease. State
health officials have advised all city
employees who come in contact with
typhoid TO be vaccinated.
AS yet no one sees any abate-
nlSHI III tuS SpIucII4C GNIu al
strongly urge that every precau-
ton be taken to guard against in
lection. Be vaccinated, boil water
and milk, kill flies and keep every
thing clean are few of the rules
still advised.
All owners of wells in Moline
must mail or telephone their ad-
dresses to the office of the city
commissioner of public health and
safety according to an Orden sent
out by Commissioner Stouffer on
recommendation Of city and state
health physicians. Officials will
then call and obtain a sample of
the water in order to-have it
analyzed. The commissioner al
ready has over fifty names of well
owners.

MIKE WOLF ALONG
WITH WOODEN LEG -
AGAIN IN TROUBLE

Again Mike Wolf picks out for
himself place in the limelight Re-
Gently in Moline he gained promin-
eDce by figuring in police society.
Mike has a wooden leg. Besides US
ing it as a means of locomotion he
also pressed it into service as a
savings bank. The young woman
with whom he was living after an
alleged fake marriage, stole 1878
from the limb enc night, according
to VOLTS charges and thereby a
case for the police to handle took
form. Other mixups between Wolf
and the woman took place and the
last heard of the couple was when
Governor Lowden denied eXtradi-
ton papers to the woman in order
that she might be taken to Terre
Haute, Ind, where it is understood
Wolf had brought brought against
her additional charges.
Yesterday Mike tried to secure a
job. He applied at the r. & V.
plant in East Moline. He was
found to be carrying no draft regis
tration card. Officials at the COM
pany became suspicious. The po-
lice were called. Questions at the
East Moline police station were
then in order and the upshot of the
matter was that the Moline exemp-
ton office permitted him to write
to the board with which he regis
tered to secure a new card, it hav-
ing been proven that he originally
had one but had lost it. Wolf talk
ed lot about coming from Chicago
but as far as the police could learn
he has been residing at 519 Twenty
