furnish "a brand new plate for S."
The public long ago decided that such
dentists should be taken out and drop.
ped in the center of the ocean-and
so they should; but the fake patent
lawyers should go with them.
A patent, worthy of the name, must
be one that clothes the invention from
infringement. The fake patent law.
yers dress up theirs with cast off B.
V. DIS; whereas reputable meA in
practice in the profession cover every
joint and spot with essential protec.
tion. Steer clear of the mo patent,
no fee" men.
The Patent Office forbids this class
OF advertising. and is trying to stamp
out the practice. Nevertheless this
custom Is common enough.
A Flivver of Commerce
Secretary Of Commerce Redfield
named an Industrial Board" a few
weeks ago; and at the time he an.
nounced that 1t would act as n buffer
between those who sold goods and
those who bought them. The ambi.
tious promise was made that by estab.
fishing fair prices. particularly with
reference to purchases made by the
Government, that "the cost of living
would be lowered"
Now the Board is dead, and George
N. Peek, Its chairman, in mourning at
It's bier, says that its members re-.
signed after becoming convinced that
they were wrong when they came to
their task believing that the wartime
adjournment of politics in national af.
fairs of economic importance had been
extended to cover the period of recon-
struction."
Mr.. Peek stirred up q pretty big
noise by his protest. Secretary Red.
field and Secretary of the Treasury
Glass issued statements that were in
direct conflict, and Attorney General
Palmer and Railway Administrator
Hines appeared In the controversy as
a supporter of Mr.. Glass. A shake.
up in the Cabinet is talked of, since
the opinion prevails in political quar-
ters that President Wilson will have
to put his ministers" on the carpet
and decide between them. 1t is like.
ly. though that this phase of the con.
troversy will blow over.
The important feature of the fliy.
yer of the Industrial Board is the adj
mitted inability to regulate" through
Mr. Redfleld's method of VOLUNTARY
cooperation" Since the Railway Ad.
ministration would not permit Mr..
Redfeld's board to interfere in it's
affairs it could hardly be expected
that private concerns would accent
an official board that Government
agencies have turned down.
Once more the government has dem.
onstrated that in normal times it on.
crates principally for political purpos.
es, and runs dim" in respect to in.
dustrial efficiency.

Again the rain fell IN torrents
last night and again the size of the
individual crowds from shop and

though there was a splendid audi

sasS4her.
One of the largest delegations OF
the evening was the council girls

yitation committee. They held
their last meeting in the series with

and in good numbers and they
chose and sang THE Shadow Of
Thy Wing" Smaller crowds came
from Milan and vicinity, one of the
shops at Rock Island arsenal, the
Ladies Aid society of East Moline,
the intermediate Epworth league of
the First Methodist church, Rock

the First Methodist church, Moline,

congregational singing Mr.. Rode

Miss Anna Marie VanDuser playing
the violin obligato. He also play
ed Safe in the Arms Of Jesus" Mr..
Matthews at the piano introducing
the chimes which produce such a
beautiful effect.
An effort is being made to have
this Augustana night and a large
number of the students are to at

FORTUNE COULD
NOT BUY GOOD
Mrs. ShOup Praises Tanlac for
Ending p Years Trouble.

Now. since l have taken TaRlac,
I am in better health than I've
been in % long years" was the
statement made the other day by
Mrs. Henrietta, ShOup. when she
called az Sutliff & Cases drug store
IN Peoria, Ill. Mrs. Shoup lives out
on route No. from Peoria, where
she owns a large farm.
Continuing, Mrs. ShOup said: IF
It hadn't been for Tanlac 1 would
not have been able to have made
the trip into town today. and
feel so thankful for the remarkable
good this medicine has done me
that I have come in the store here
10 tell you how I have been restor-
ed 90 complete health. No, sir.
fortune couldn't buy the good this
medicine has done me.
Before I commenced taking Tan
lac I had been in bad health for
% years. and my condition had
been getting worse all the time un-
til I got to where l was in misery
nearly all the time. My stomach
was in an awful fix and nearly ev-
erything l ate soured and caused
gas to form so bad that 1 thought
I would smother at times. / would
have terrible headaches and l had
such bad dizzy spells at times that
I couldn't stand up. I was very
nervous and restless and my sleep
was broken, and I lost in weight
until I looked almost like a frame.
I had always taken pride in raising
my own chickens and turkeys, but
] was so broken down that had to
give 1t up entirely.
4 when / had almost given up all
hope of ever being relieved OF my
suffering, a neighbor persuaded me
into trying Tanlac, so I got bot
tie. That one bottle did me more
good than all the other things l
had taken put together for the last
20 years. I was so encouraged that
I kept right on taking Tanlac, and
now, today, you can see for your
self what it has done for me. I am
20 years old, but am in the best of
health, have a splendid appetite
and am never troubled one bit with
my stomach. The headaches and
dizzy spells have all left me, and
I am not nervous or restless and
can sleep fine every night. NV

CLERKS STILL HOPE
FOR PENSION BILL

Government employees are stin at
work among members Of the House
and Senate making an effort to save
the Keating-Mc pension and
retirement measure.
Officials of the Civil Service Re-
tirement Association believe there Is
still a chance for the passage Of the
bill at this session, which will close
March 4. They have not entirely
given up hope that the Rules Commit
tee will report a rule for the con-
sideration Of the bill, and thus force
the question before the House. At
the same time, they rely on another
effort by Senator Mckellar to get the
bill disposed of by the Senate.
Once the House disposes of the ap-
preparation bills before ii, it is hoped
by the advocates of the pension meas
ure that it will be taken up and acted
on. At present the consideration of
appropriation bills is barring practi-
Cally all other business. The same
is true in the Senate, where the
rivers and harbOrs bill is pending.
The coming week probably will
serve to tell the story whether there
is any real chance for pension and
retirement legislation this session.
Unless the matter can be brought up
in the House and Senate the coming
week, the probabilities are that moth
ing will be done until the next Con-
gTeSS.

VAN IN 6 MONTHS

ziang Sung Wan, charged with the
murder Of the three members OF the

culosis, although he has the enaei-
ated appearance of the consumptive.
The jail physician. after giving him
a thorough examination, found no
trace of the dread disease.
His condition is serious said the
Jail physician. Unless the intestinal
disease from which Wan is suffering
is corrected, he will not live more
than six months. A specialist wiz be
summoned to assist me in his treat
ment."
Wan is remorsefuI and dlscouraged
since he has confessed to the killing
Of WI, said the physician. This con-
ditiOn, he said, helps to aggFavate the
disease.
Today Inspector Clifford L. Grant
gave to District Attorney Johns Z.
Laskey all Of the evidence gathered
against Wan and his brother, Tsong
Ing Van, who is charged jointly with
Wan with the murder OF the three
