DRINK CURES TO
CLOSE WHEN BIG
DROUGHT STARTS

Chicago-Plans are being made
by owners of more than 200 drink
cure institutions to discontinue
business with the coming of nation
al prohibition, according to officials
of institutions here. A few of the
places may continue Indefinitely as
drug cure sanitariums, but a large
majority expect to close within a
year,
James E. Bruce, an official or a
drink cure corporation that aGver-
tises it has cured more than SOC, coo
ton wave had for some time caus
ed decreased business.
I'VE figure there will no need for
our intitutions after the country
goes dry" he said. However, we ex-
pect business to increase for a lew
months right after prohibition De-
comes effective But after that it
Will rapidly decrease.
"A few years ago we had sixty
branches in operation throughout
the country. Today we have 20.
Drug cases constitute about rs per
cent of our business, the number
being about the same as before the
Harrison anti-drug law went into
effect five years ago. But we do not
think it would pay to continue
treating drug cases alone.
Adoption of bone dry prohibition
by a number of states has decreased
business in many sections. Business
also fell off during the war, but last
fall it picked up again about the
time of the influenza epidemic and
has been fairly good ever since"
An official of one of the oldest
chain of drink cures in the country
expressed the view their intitutions
would remain open for at least a
year after the coming of national
prohibition. Two years ago this
concern operated fifty branches. To-
day the number has been reduced
to fewer than twenty. He said a
few of the branches might" be con
tinued permanently for drug users,
who since the passing of the Harri-
son anti-law. ARE confined largely
to the wealthy class and residents
of the underworld"

Rather a Non-Com
In Argonne Than a
Captain in Argus

Major Walter A. Rosenfield has
received letter from his brother
c. d. Rosenfield. now in Paris, who
in remarking that he has received
the promotion from first lieutenant
to captain, says that while he APP
preciates and welcomes the honor
which has been bestowed upon him,
he would rather have been a ser
geant in the Argonne than cap
tain in The Argus"
All of which means that Captain
Rosenfield would rather have
fought in the Argonne forest as a
non-commissioned officer than to
have the honor which comes with
his advancement to commission
as a company commander.

GOOD START IN GAME PRESER.
VATION. An

Although game breeding in the
United States is still in it's infancy,
there are today more than a mil
lion affiliated bird students and
conservationists and half that num-
Der of sportsmen who are working
for bird and game preservation,
says the American Forestry associa-
ton, of Washington, which is con-
Quoting a national bird-house build
ing contest to aid in this worthy
movement. 1t has been shown that
many wild game birds can be prop
agated successfully in captivity. In
nature probably. less than ten per
cent of the eggs of game birds de-
velop into mature birds. By arti-
fetal cultivation as high as an
eighty per cent yield has often been
attained.

A plea was not taken, the prison

A partial calendar of criminal
Gases was announced this morning
by Acting States Attorney Edward
L. Engle, any one of which is SUB
ject to call for trial when court
convenes at o'clock Monday art

ed for assault with intent to commit
murder upon the person of his wltei
Minnie, the first to be heard.
First Monday Afternoon.
Zickos, it will be recalled, at
tempted to shoot his wife following
an alteration in a room of the
Bengston apartments, Second ave-
nue. and Seventeenth street, several
weeks ago. Although he emptied MS
gun, all but one of the shots went
wild, the exception taking effect in
one hand of the woman, inflicting
a minor wound.
1t is noticeable neither the Rob-
erI Cook murder case or that of the
W gers slayers is listed, and it is
probable that trail of these will be
~Nsferred until later during this term
OF court.

May grand jury for the murder oil
Sheriff Jacob S. Wigers, only one,
Hale O'Riley, remains in custody
He is confined in the Galesburg

HIMSELF;

SEND HIM AWAY
Henry G. Scope of Peru Is Commit.
ted to WatertOwn Hospital by
Judge at Own Request.
CASE DEEMED A QUEER ONE
Physicians Puzzled at Spells Which
Bring Both Suicidal and
HOmicidal Desire.

Fearful lest he should either
take his own life or that of a fell
low man, Henry G. Scope, aged
about so years, resident of Peru
ILL.,, was committed, at his own re-
quest, to the hospital for the in
sane at WATERFOWL.
Commitment papers were issued
by Judge Nels A. Larson in county
court this morning following an ex-
animation of Scope, conducted by
a medical commission composed OF
Drs. B. ]. Lachner and c. T. Foster
"Queerest case to come to my
attention in long time" said DR.
Lachner, an opinion in which DR.
Foster concurred.
Investigation by the physicians
revealed that Scope is subject to
attacks of extreme nervousness
during which he loses all control
over his physical and mental per-
son. His muscles contract, and his
mind, he declares in rational mo-
ments, is filed with an irresistible
desire to either kill himself or 9TH
ers around him.
After the spells have passed, the
unfortunate man is as rational and
sensible as any normal individual
and with the exception of signs of
extreme nervousness, he appears
in state of excellent health. His
conversation is good and there is
no evidence in talk or manner
which would indicate any mental
irregularity.
In the hope of becoming cured
of his affliction, Scope journeyed
to Davenport, where he took treat
ments for his ailment After a
protracted stay without benefit,
however, he decided to place him
self in the care of WATERFOWL at
tendants.
Must Support Wife.
A severe lecture, coupled with
the Injunction to pay $50 monthly

Tom Cox, chief of police, and
Martin RUdgren. commissioner,
have returned from Peoria where
they were to have acted as wit
nesses in the trial of the bootleg
gers in the event the latter failed
to plead guilty.
Inasmuch as the accused Rock

needed.
Chief Cox in answer to a query
as to how conditions in Peoria
compare with Rock Island, said ::
There is no comparison. whatever,
Vice is practically suppressed in
this city with the new liquor laws
that are now prevalent and the
tendency for law violation is even
broader, yet Rock Island is a
cleaner city than Peoria"

IF Thin AND
NERVOUS, TRY
PHOSPHATE

\ A French scientist has discovered
an organic phosphate which should
be very effective remedy for weak
nerves, sleeplessness, thinness and
lack Of strength, energy and vigor.
It's substance is described by spe-
cialists as identical in composition
with certain vital elements naturally
found in brain and nerve cells and
one which when taken into the hui
man system is quickly converted into
healthy living tissue.
This phosphate is already widely
known among druggists in this coun-
try as Phosphate, and some
physicians claim that through its use
strength, energy, vigor and nerve
force are frequently increased in two
weeks time.
DR.. Frederick Kolle, editor OF New
York physicians who's Who" says
it should be prescribed by every doc
tor and used in every hospital in the
United States. AS there are great
variety of so-called phosphates, those
who wish to test this substance
should be sure to get the genuine
Bitro- Phosphate.
