BETTER BE
CAREFUL!

Your resistance to disease and
sickness may be high but it has a
limit
If You go on with irregular bow
els, if you let foOd-waste lie and
ferment, you will fill your blood
with poisons that will undermine
your resistance and leave you a
prey to colds, influenza, rheuma-
tism and any sickness to which you
may be exposed.
1t is easy to be careful, and you'll
feel vastly better if you are. Your
druggist has an excellent new
preparation that every person
ought to know about. 1t is called
SALINOS, the pleasant laxative
salts. 1t will completely empty the
bowels without giving the slightest
discomfort. 1t never gripes. 1t is
pleasant, both in action and in
taste, the ideal laxative for every
member of the family.

SOON TO START

ance Calling for Establishment
OF Such an Office.

Rock Island viii probably have
a pohcewoman ON the streets by
March l, the adoption of an ordin-
ance calling for the establishment
Of such a position as a part Of the
police force Is anticipated to take
place at the regular meeting Of the
city commission in session this aft
ernoon.
The ordinance was scheduled to
be presented for adoption by John
Liedtke, commissioner of public
health and safety. 1t is the gener-
al belief that the commissioners
will pass favorably on the matter
and will provide for the start OF
such an office The commission
will set the day for the woman ap-
pointed to the job to begin her du-
ties.
Mrs. Kate Collier, formerly con-
nected with the Royal Neighbors'
organization, is the only applicant
for the position of policewoman and
her appointment is expected if the
ordinance is adopted. Her duties
would be conferred largely on the
care of wayward girls on the
streets. Her hours will be from
noon until midnight daily. The city
welfare department of the Rock Is
land Woman's club requested that
a policeWoman be added to the
present force.

TESTING J1NGLES
By o. Bonney Brink
THE SPIDERS WEB.

One day when l was wont to buy
some groceries in a hurry, 1 hust-
led DER to Higgins store, where
there is lack of furry. I stepped
inside and Yainly tried to see the
guy in keep, and later he was found
TO be behind the stove asleep. 1
leaned against the rack feminist
the counter where the kraut was
kept, and must had formed crust
upon that Wand stout. While thus
stalled spider crawled in view
/ saw her fee in dauntless haste
across the waste, direct in front of
me. 1 watched her play and wend
her way from out a dusty delf to
an array of canned display now
rusted to the shelf. To one of these
"a can of peas (Which property
she vested), she hung her net, and
knew, you bet, she'd never be mo-
Tested. Amid this scene of peace
serene, within this quiet store,
she'd lay batch of eggs and hatch
young spiders by the score. Upon
the bread old ''Hig" had spread a
copy of the News, which he had
read and thus was led a place like
this to choose as quite the best
place for her nest, so quickly she
devised her plans. She guessed
"Hig" wanted rest and never ad-
vertised.
