ONLY SALVATION
ARMY I.ASSIE TO
RECEIVE A WOUND

She slipped into Chicago without
announcement and tried to leave
without being seen Instead she
held reception-informal but
Iarge-for she is the only Salvation
Army lassie wounded while bring
ing cheer and comfort to the boys
in the trenches most coveted
honor
She doesn't like to talk about 1t
for she violated orders in that she
did not inform the military authori-
ties of her wound, fearing that If
she did so, all of the lassies would
be barred from working between
the lines of screaming artillery. In
stead she hid in a dugout for three
days, her presence and condition
unknown to any but her own peo-
pie.
. Now that fighting has ceased her
husband, Captain A Holbrook, de-
lights to tell the story.
Our women were looked upon
as harbingers of good luck for
when they followed an attack the
losses were light" said the cap
tain "At scissors one of the lads

great And along she went with
the result she was wounded-the

of the gas themselves, bravely con-
tinued to work ON such cases as
were brought in They were told
that relief from further up the line
was coming and were given an op-
| portunity to go to the rear. They
insisted upon remaining, however,
and worked with efficiency and
GOODNESS during the following hours.
When dangerous symptoms OF pois-
oning appeared, and it became ap-
parent that the two men were in a
dangerous condition, they were or
dered to the rear, despite their pro-
tests They collapsed soon after
wards.
Praised By Colonel.
"In letter to the secretary Of the
navy. the colonel commanding the
regiment Of marines to which these
men belonged, called attention to
their disregard Of personal danger
in the performance of their duty.
He said: These men worked in
cessantly for the comfort and well
fare of the sick, disregarding their
own premonitory symptoms, insist
ing that they were an right and not
affected, when questioned from
time to time. They showed the
true sacrificial spirit as should be
characteristic of men who have vol
unteered their service in such an
unselfish and honorable organiza-
ton. When visible symptoms were
noted they were relieved and evac-
uated, much against their wills, for
they knew that their work had not
been completed
The French government several
months ago awarded Schaffner a
croix de guerre and forwarded the
award to his mother following the
lads death.

ILLINOIS WOMAN
GAINS 80 POUNDS
Mrs. Doh Davis Says She Feels
Like Different Person Since
Taking Tanlac.

'Sfnce taking Tanlac have
gained thirty pounds and never felt
better in my Iife," said Mrs Doll
Davis, who lives at 108 Samuel ave-
nue., Peoria, the other day.

find words to tell you how have
suffered during the last seven
years." continued Mrs. Davis, land
when began taking Tanlac short
time ago / had about come to the
conclusion that 1 would never be
we'll again. All my trouble was
caused by the terrible condition of
my stomach. For two or three
hours after meals my food would lie
in my stomach undigested and
cause me world of suffering. My
food didn't sem to nourish me at
all, and I just got weaker all the
time. My nerves were also in aw-
full condition, and for the past year
I was not able to sleep very much.
Many nights / would suffer from a
nervous, throbbing headache, all
night long, and not sleep bit. Ev-
cry morning I would just have to
drag myself out of bed, and if I

back to bed. My kidneys gave me
lots of trouble, too, and had slight
of uremic poison. 1 final
ly go so weak from loss of weight
and strength that I was hardly able
to get around at all.
Il was in this awful condition
when I commenced taking Tanlac,
but it wasn't very long before
things began to change. My appe-
tite came back and l was soon eat
ing Just anything l wanted without
suffering afterwards. / have just
finished my fifth bottle and / can
say that 1 never had bet
ter health in my life. 1t is simply
fine to be able to sit down and eat
Just anything that my appetite calls
for after suffering as long as / did
My nerves are in fine condition
now, and 1 sleep like baby every
night, and all my neighbors are
asking me the same question, what
in the world have you been taking
to cause this improvement in your
1ealth? And it just does my heart
good to tell them that Tanlac is
responsible for it. 1t is
the way ! have gained

person altogether. l am more than
glad to recommend Tanlac to ey-

To the Citizens of Rock Island, Illi-
nois:
take this occasion to announce
myself as a candidate for the office
of Mayor, on the following plat
form:
1 stand for a square deal for all
classes of people, rich or poor, re-
gardless of their station in dife,
sect, creed or color.
1 am in favor of law and order,
and its strict enforcement.
In times of epidemic, 1 believe in
a reasonable enforcement. of the
health regulations, seasoned with
good judgment, but strictly and
rigidly, if necessary.
l am opposed to making our city
the dumping ground for thugs,
thieves and robbers, even under the
guise of industrial necessity, as my
recent fight for the removal of pa
rolled convicts will prove.
l stand for home rule for cities,
with power to control and regulate
public utilities serving it's people,
but am in favor of their having a
fair and reasonable compensation
for service rendered.
l pledge myself to resist to the
utmost any attempt to secure a
seven-cent car fare. II street car
lines wish to increase the wages Vi
their employees, 1 am in favor of
them doing so out of their Excess
sive profits and dividends, and not
place this burden on the travelling
public.
1t is my plan to institute pro-
ceedings to reduce the cost Of gas
and electricity, to the pre-war ba-
sis.
1 am now and always have been
in favor of public improvements,
but under proper conditions. At
the present time, cost of materials
and freight rates are SO high, that
tically prohibitive, excepting in en-
ergencies.
l believe in progress, and have
been identified with most of the
great improvements inaugurated in
this city in the last thirty years.
laid the first paving brick on Sec
ond avenue in 1889; / helped to es-
tablish the first paid fire depart
ment; 1 inaugurated a system of
grades and enforced the building of
permanent sidewalks; 1 was instru-
mental IN securing and erecting the
public library; I rebuilt and COM
pleted the reservoir; / started and
the Rock Island park
system; ] helped plan and arrange
a financial system, whereby the city
of Rock Island has paid off debts
contracted almost fifty years ago,
by means of refunding bonds
the state treasury, which
plan was instituted by me twenty
years ago. My present admins
tration was responsible for the ac-
curing of the BELT Line" which
has been talked of for the past for
ty years. opening free railway
to all railroads oper-
ating in our city from our eastern
city limits to our southern limits on
Rock river.
Unlike most candidates, do not
stand on a platform of promises. !
For 1 have a record of accomplish |
ments behind me, of which l am
not ashamed. l believe l have not |
only the experience, but also the |
and ability to guide the |
city Of Rock Island through the |
shoals 1t is at present en-
into a sound and safe |
financial harbor for the future.
If you tbik am still progressive |
and have the stamina and |
nerve, to stand and fight for what I
hink is right and for the best in
eresss of the city and its people, I
lsk you to give me your support,
lot only at the primaries, but also
