Y. M. G. A. DRIVE

A long, lanky. thin boy and a
short, little spry boy were making
Roadway around a table in the
boys department Of the Y. M. C. A.
this morning. The tall one had the
longest stride, but the little one
made up in agility what he lacked
in length. Both were poorly clad.
They were playing a game at the
pool table, and obviously enjoying
it.
II picked those boys up of the
street yesterday" said Sidney
Gordon, secretary OF boys work,
land brought them in to give them
a membership in the association"
An onlooker remarked. There's
a living reason why we should
back the Y. M. c. A. campaign"

the handicap of the coal shortage,
there are still many activities in

citation. The boys are now taking

money. Such gift does not accomplish it's pur-
pose which is to CONSTANTLY remind the
recipient of the kindness and thoughtfulness of
the giver.
Furniture gifts axe DAILY reminders Fur

both mind and body. Furniture is always well
coined always wanted always appreciated.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-f You Know DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret Of keeping young is to feel
youmg-to do this you must watch your
liver and bowels-there's no need Of
having a sallow complexion dark rings
under your eyes pimples-a bilious
look in your face dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you
ninety per cent of all sickness comes
from inactive bowels and liver.
d.. Edwards a WELL known physician
in Ohio, perfected a vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which be gave to
his patients for years.
Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub
stitute for calomel. are gentle in their
action yet always effective. They bring
about that natural buoyancy which all
should enjoy by toning up the liver and
clearing the system of impurities.

GRANTS
MANY DIVORCES
FOR DESERT|ON
ece Sure Of Your Step Before TAX.
ing the Leap, II Advice Of
Clerk G. W, Gamble.

During the September term OF
the circuit court there have been
38 DEGREES for divorce granted, of
which the wife was the complain
ant in "a cases and the husband
in IA.
The following facts and views
on marriage were prepared by
George Gamble, clerk of the cir
cult court. Mr.. CANDLES report
shows that is DEGREES were granted
on grounds of desertion, eight for
cruelty, six for adultery and three
for drunkenness. Three annul-
ments OF marriages were made.
The average age Of the women at
the time of marriage was 20 and
one-half years, and the men 10
years, the youngest woman being Is
years Of age at the time of mar
riage and the youngest man is given
a. being 10.
This average IL high due to the
fact that in one case the man was
81 and the woman 43.
1t is also interesting to note that
10 Of the marriage ceremonies we're
performed by ministers Of the Cos
pei, and 10 were married by Judges
or Justices of the peace.
The longest period Of acquaint-
ance Of the parties before marriage
WAS 20 years and the shortest was
three months, making the average
three years.
The length Of time that these
parties lived together varies. Three
couples separated Immediately aft
or marriage, one couple lived to-
gether three days. one three weeks,
one 10 months, two one year, three
one and one-half years, seven less
than five years and II less than
10 years.
How the Couples Met.
When questioned by Mr.. Gamble
a. to their meetings it was found
that one couple met in a butcher
shop, one in a restaurant, one at
Watch Tower park. one on the
street of q neighboring city and
others met In Rock Island, Moline,
and East Moline.
If the facts indicate something
from which 4 lesson may be
drawn" says Mr.. Gamble, 1T shows
that parties contemplating mar
rage should know each other long
enough to be familiar with all their
habits and dispositions and that &C
quaintances picked up on the
streets, in parks and dance halls
should be we'll scrutinized and con-
sidered before sallowing them to
ripen into matrimony, and that a
home wedding is the safest and
most desirable"

New York, October 31.-Although the
condition figures were higher than
many had looked for and the appear
ance of the report was followed by a
wave of liquidation. causing a rather
sharp dip, the support developed
quickly and prices soon rallied to about
the level ruling before the report. Later
the market was irregular and erratic
within a rather narrow range and
seemed influenced by the selling of the
near months which continued in evil
dence as well as scattered private ad-
vices of an easier tone to spots. The
supplemental comment in the report
laid emphasis on the damage by wet
weather in Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana
and Mississippi, causing bolls to rot
and seed to sprout and aiding the
