municable diseases of the state de-
paTtment OF health, who arrived in
Moline last evening to give aid
during the present typhoid cpl
demic.
In cooperation with city Off
Gals, the state officers including
DR.. Mechanic, DR. George A
LightIe, district state health Off
Ger, and NJ. c. Sjoblom acting
chief engineer for the state health
department, began Investigations
this morning. AS yet no state
ment as to the cause of the dis
ease has been made and it will
probably require several days for
the officials to get at the source of
the trouble.
A total of 95 cases are reported
in the city today. All of these
cases have developed since June
20. The death of Mrs. George
Stewart, 1913 Third avenue. yes
terday, was the first during the
present run of the plague.
Investigation of the city water
supply and other possible sources
of the disease is being undertaken
by one of the state officials. An
other is making a detailed study
of each case of typhoid. DR..
Lightle, who is located in Rock Is
land to aid in the fight on social
diseases, is now devoting his en-
tire time to the Moline situation.
Information will not be withheld
from the public, the doctors assert,
and all will be made known as
soon as possible. Complete CO.
operation is being given by the
municipal officials and they too
urge that no facts be concealed.
All persons who have come into
contact with persons afflicted with
the disease will be Vaccinated and
every person should be vaccinated
in order to guard against taking
the disease, in the opinion Of the
health officers. incubation with
the typhoid serum is sure proof
against the disease, provided one
has not already been infected.
Every man, woman and child
ought to go to his family physi-
clan and be vaccinated," declared
DR.. Mechanic. His advice is en-
dorsed by the city and by the other
state men. He also warns against
manure piles as a breeding place
for flies and urges great care in
handling garbage and rubbish.
The anti-fly campaign is an impor-
tant factor in banishing the fever,

(From Office Of Federal Food Admin
istrator Braxton Beacham,
Orlando. Fla,l

Hon. Braxton Beacham, Federal
Food Administrator for Florida, has
succeeded in having the United States
Food Administration place peanut
meal and flour on the list of substi-
tutes for wheat flour for the state of
Florida.
Mr.. Beacham has also received as
surance from Washington that con-
si3cration is now being given to plac-
ing the peanut on the general list Of
substitutes to cover the entire peanut
producing territory of this country.
Through this movement, the South
comes into another great source of
wealth, and the farmers of this State
have an opportunity of planting a
crop which will be of great value and
will take the place of the cotton crop
in many districts where the boil
weevil has made planting of cotton
profitable.
Peanuts have always been known
as one of the most valuable stock
feeds of the country, but they now
come into a new relation to the food
commodities Of the people of the
United States, not only through the
value of the meal and flour produced
from them for table use, but through
THE value of the oil which can he used
in every way that vegetable oils OF
other kinds are used.
Mr.. Beacham is emphasizing now
that the farmers of this State "a

what the returns will be equal, IL no,

WHY Do ALL DOCTORS
PRESCRIBE CALONtl?

OF all the medicines in the Worlo'
doctors prescribe calomel most oi'eh
and depend upon it most universally
There must be a good and sufficient
reason-What is 1t!
If you will study the doctors COOKS
YOU will find that the medical author'
tiles prescribe calomel for almost eV-
cry disease. The reason is that Gallo
mel is the greatest and only thorough
system purifier. 1t makes the liver ac-
tive, drives out the poisons from the
stomach, bowels and kidneys ana
thereby purifes the blood. Calomei
puts the entire system in the most
ia torable condition for Nature to eX-
ercise her recuperative power Your
doctor will tell you that drugs mere
ly assist Nature. That is why he pre-
sCribes calomel SO often.
The new kind of calomel, called
"Calotabs," is refined and purified
from all of the nauseating and dan
gerous qualities Of the old style Gallo
mel and is rapidly taking its place,
for it is more effective than the old
style calomel as liver-cleanser and
system purifier. One Calotab at bed
time, with a swallow of water that's
all. No nausea, nor the slightest un-
pleasantness. Next morning you
awake feeling fine-with hearty ap-
petite for breakfast. Eat what you
please-fruits, acids or anything. No
restrictions of habit or diet.
Calotabs are sold only in original,
sealed packages, price thirty-fve
cents. Recommended and guaranteed
by druggists everywhere. Your money
back if you are not delighted

War Once Fought on Battlefields
Exclusively, Now Waged Behind
Lines And Women Do Fighting

American reinforcements can come
up.
Fight as Hard Behind Lines as In
the Field
Wars may once have been fought
exclusively in the battlefield. Today
they are fought in harvest fields
and factories, and the city streets
as well. They are fought by WON
en- and girls as much as by men in
arms. The passing of woman suf-
frage measure by the English house
of lords and the American house of
representatives, on the same day,
what was that but an acknowledge
ment of these facts?
The Britons as a whole are fight
ing this battle behind the lines as
bravely, as cheerfully, and as untir-
ingly as the British armies in the
field. They have enemies in their
ranks.
They have an Independent Labor
party of only 10000 members, but it
is very influential socialist-pacifist
group, and it is doing everything it
can to Undue the entire labor move
ment with a pacifst spirit. So far it
has not succeeded.
The London underground during

This, for the most part, is a for

London, March 11.-"Both the Ger
mans and ourselves have to admit
that neither guns nor defensive planes
can always stop a raider who knows
his business and is equipped with a
first class machine gum" writes an
aeronautical expert commenting in
the Evening Standard on the recent
air raids on London.
1.-THE intensive battle barrages in
Flanders is crossed and recrossed in
cessantly by airplanes. Our raids on
Mannheim and other German towns
show that the enemy cannot bar our
machines from reaching their objec-
tive, and the recent raids indicate
that Germans can penetrate the Lon
don defenses.
But there Is a tremendous change
in the conditions governing the raids
as compared with those existing less
than year ago. OF the many air.
planes which may now approach Lon
don very few, indeed, get through.
The massed fleet raid has given way
to attacks by single machines or very
small groups. Never again are we
likely to have the humiliating Spec
tacle of big formation of enemy ma
chimes moving with IMMUNITY above
our capital.
In TINS respect we have reduced
the danger very considerably, for
with modern bombs, and modern i'm
prcvements in bomb release, a fleet OF
raiders could now do terrible dam
age in London. The massed attack
has been broken up, however. and
now our danger comes from units
and very small groups. We cannot
make light of this development all
the same, for the Germans a>ve
formed the habit of running their
raids in a kind of Indian file, groun
after group coming over to England
and each endeavoring to send one or
more machines over London,
THE single or small group Of raid
ers is the most elusive, and no agency
yet put into practice has been able
to stop this form of attack. The heav.
lest barrage is jumped over by dar
ing pilot, and, so immense is the sky
space and so defective is visibility .,

machines, we should be able 10 give
