GREAT GENERAL
IN PARTING TO
MEN OF A.E.F.
Pershing Conveys His Sincere
Thanks for Splendid Service
of His Soldiers.

Rock Island men who saw service
in the A. E. F. are receiving copres
Of farewell letter addressed TO
every soldier who was overseas, by
General John J. Pershing. The
communication is dated Feb. %, and
reads as follows:
France. Feb. %, 1919.
My Fellow Soldiers
NOW that your service with the
American Expeditionary Forces IS
about to terminate, I can not let
you go without a personal WORD. At
the call to arms, the patriotic young
manhood of America eagerly re-
sponded and became the formidable
army whose decisive victories Les-
fifty TO its efficiency and its va1or
With the support OF the nation firm
~ united to defend the cause of lib
erty. our army has executed the will
Of the peole with resolute purpose.
Our democracy has been tested,
and the forces of autocracy have
been defeated. To the glory of the
citizen soldier, our troops have
faithfully fulfilled their trust, and
in a succession of brilliant Of
fensives have overcome the menace
to our civilization.
As an individual, your part in
the world war has been an import
ant one in the sum total of our
achievements Whether keeping
lonely vigil in the trenches. or gal
lantly stGrming the enemy's strong
hold; whether enduring mOnoton-
Gus drudgery at the rear, or sus-
tanning the fighting line at the
front, each has bravely and eff
fciently played his part. By willing
sacrifice of personal rights; Dy
cheerful endurance of hardship and
privation; by vigor, strength and
indomitable will, made effective by
thorough organization and cordial
cooperation, you inspired the war
worn allies with new life and turn
ed the tide of threatened defeat INTO
overwhelming victory.
With a consecrated devotion to
duty and a will to conquer, you
have loyalty served your country.
BY your exemplary conduct stand
ard has been established and main
tanned never before attained by any
army. With mind and body as clean
and strong as the decisive blows
Won delivered against the foe, you
are soon to return to the pursuits
of peace. In leaving the scenes Of
your victories, may l ask that you
carry home your high ideals and
continue to live as you have served
an honor to the principles for
which you have fought and to the
fallen comrades you leave behind.
1t is with pride in our success
that l extend to you my sincere
thanks for your splendid service to
the army and to the nation.
Faithfully,
JOHN J. PERSHING,
Commander in Chief"

RETAIL STORES
WILL CLOSE IN
THE FTERNOON
Merchants Of Rock Island Begin
Program of Weekly Shut
Down Wednesday.

Tomorrow starts the summer
closing program of local retail
merchants, with a haif-holiday
starting at l o'clock p. m. Every
Wednesday until Sept l this plan
will be carried out, so that clerks
and employers alike may enjoy a
vacation from duties in the hot
business district or in stores else
where in the city.
This plan was initiated in the
tri-cities two years ago by Daven-
port, which city has found it ben
eficiaI personally and to business,
since it adds to the efficiency OF the
employees. Rock Island took up
the idea this summer for the first
time. through a meeting of the bus
mess mems association two weeks
ago.
Shoppers are warned against
embarking on shopping tours to-
morrow or any Wednesday after
noon of this summer. as the down
town and outlying stores will all
be closed from noon on.

new RULING IN
SALE OF DRUGS
Makes Prescriber, Seller and Buyer
Guilty Of an Infracti0n of
the Law.

A recent decision of the treas
ury department, approved July 2,
draws the line more tightly in the
sale of narcotics, and makes the
physician, druggist and person OBJ
tanning the drugs liable to prose-
cution for violation of the ruling.
The ruling is in revocation of
treasury decision No. 200, dated
May II, 1915, relating to the guam
tity of narcotic drugs that may be
dispensed or prescribed by physi-
clans, dentists and veterinary sur
geons registered under the provis-
ions of the act of Dee II, 1914.
A copy of the ruling has been
received by T. ]. Cavanaugh, dep
uty revenue collector for Rock Is
land, from E. D. McCabe. collector
of internal revenue, at Peoria. 1t
reads as follows:
THE ruling contained in treas
ury department 1900 of May IL,
1915, permitting a practitioner to
dispense or prescribe narcotic
drugs in a quantity more than is
necessary to meet the immediate
needs of a patient is hereby revok-
ed and the revocation shall be ap-
plicable in all cases whether a de-
creasing dosage is indicated or not.
Act is Amended.
THE act of Dec. IT, 1914, as
amended by the act of Feb. "A,
1919, permits the furnishing of
narcotic drugs by means of pre-
scriptions issued by a practitioner
for legitimate medical uses, but
the supreme court has held that
an order for morphine issued to an
habitual user thereof, not in the
course Of professional treatment
in an attempted cure Of the habit,
but for the purpose of providing
the user with morphine sufficient
