r r A VELE T r e
QUINCY.
BY Niksah.

Quincy, ILL.,, is the place where
there are so many squirrels IN the
park. 1t is also a right lively
breeding place for all kinds of
factory products and savings &C
counts.
Especially savings accounts. The
late E. J. Parker used to startle
the bankers convention each year
by his report of the incredible
boarding of the thrifty Quincyites.
OF course this gift for accumula-
ton makes for municipal stability,
but it seems almost wicked to keep
so much money out of work.
When the country went dry the
volume of lamentation from Quin-
cy was almost as sonerous as that
from Milwaukee or Cincinnati.
Quincy not only made and sold
quantities of fine beer, but it was
itself a good consumer-always
copiously of a Saturday night.
And Quincy has proud social
traditions which it preserves with
zeal if not arrogance. It's smart
east end set looks askance upon
the young stranger whose pants are
not a la mode, while the members
of the old aristocracy pay little at
tention to anyone, no matter who
he is or what he " cars.
May the savings and the SPUR
rels, like the tribe of Abou Ben
Adhem, continue to increase!

August the head clerks Office has
been issuing an average Of 145
certificates daily on the new rates
and as the last half of the month
always produces a larger volume
of new business, it is expected that
August results will equal July.
AdOptiOns Increase Roll.
A large number Of class adop-
tions are under way in various
parts of the Jurisdiction, which
will help swell the September rec
ord. Altogether the situation Is
considered quite satisfactory by the
officials in touch with conditions.
The monthly reports with re-
mittances from camps covering the
first payments by members under
the new rates in July now being
received and audited show a lower
percentage of suspensions than an
ticipated. This is considered as
confirmation of a previous an
nouncement from headquarters
that the change in rates IS proving
acceptable to the membership gen
orally as the best solution of the
problem.

PREPARED FOR
WAR FOOD SALE
Supplies Forwarded From Army
DepOts Await Signing of Order
Blanks to Be Delivered.

Arrangements were completed
this morning at the Rock Island
postofice for the reception of or
ders for surplus war department
foodstuffs, through the postoffice
acting as a medium between the
war department and the consumer.
The sale will begin promptly at 8
a. N. Monday, Aug. Is, at the post
Office. and those having orders will
make them out through the cash
ier's window in the money order
will also be provided with blanks
and authorized to receive money
for orders.
The process thus to be Inaugural
ted is in accordance with a resolu-
ton recently passed by congress,
providing for distribution of sur
plus foodstuffs now on hand at
military subsistence depots, with
the cooperation of the postoff1ce
department, and it is the intent
that the same opportunity be given
all sections of the country to pur-
chase the limited supply.
To Consumers Only.
To secure the best results, and
to be certain that the foodstuffs
get into the hands of bona fide
consumers, it is left to the indi-
vidual postmaster to exercise his
discretion as to whom and to what
extent sales should be made. In
this connection, Postmaster Simp-
son stated that positively no large
quantities would be sold to indi-
viduals, and none whatever to
dealers, middlemen or spectators.
The supplies as forwarded from
the army depots, are packed in
cases and bags. and in no case will
there be repacking. Therefore,
while the postmasters will receive
orders for cans in units, If the ag-'
gregate order does not total the
contents of a can, the item will be
stricken from the order and the
refunded.
Fill Out Order Form.
While there has been no special
order form provided by the gov
eminent, the local postofflce has
prepared for distribution blank

ments of any material consequence
are quite unlikely this coming sea-
son. With the seed of infection still
in our midst it is at least reason
able to expect something more
than usual fall and winter influen-
zal infections and a death rate
considerably above the normal.
Health authorities are preparing
to meet any situation that may de-
velop. The state department of
health of Illinois is mobiliging
medical forces and the American
Red Cross, cooperating with the
health authorities are perfecting
nursing and hospital services in
order that medical and nursing re-
lief may be promptly afforded.
Just now the really important
thing to do is to strictly enforce
the reporting and quarantine re-
quirements. E D ~ case or suspect
ed case of Summer flu" bad
cold" suspicious bronchitis, pneu-
mona or undoubted influenza
should be Immediately reported to
the local health authority and by
him to the state department of
health. Every case or suspected
case should be effectively isolated,
only the necessary attendant being
permitted in the sick room Visit
ing on infected premises is strictly
prohibited. In other words closely
confne the infected person and
prevent the well from coming in
contact with the patient or attend
ant. Where isolation is not prop
erly carried out general quaran-
tine must be applied to the prem
ises and all residing thereon. Eff
ticient quarantine is indispensable
to control of the disease.
Inspection Important.
Leading authorities agree that
influenza is spread by contact with
infection bearers and that the
chances of infection increase pro-
portionally with the larger num-
Der of persons one comes in con-
tact with. The approaching open
ing of schools and the bringing of
large numbers Of children in close
contact is therefore a matter which
should receive the serious attention
of school and health authorities at
this time. Not only should warn
ings be issued against permitting
any sick or ailing child or one re-
siding on infected premises to at
tend school but the responsible
local authorities should organize
an efficient school medical inspec-
ton service and have it in opera
ton from the first moment that
the children are assembled for the
opening of classes in order that
possible infection bearers may be
detected and promptly excluded
from the schools. Such a service
carried out not only
gives greater assurance of the nom
of school sessions,
but more than all else would re-
suit in the saving of many hun
dreds of young lives every year in
this state
Local authorities who neglect
these important and effective pre-
cautions certainly are not perform
ing their fully duty to their con-

years annual big hike Monday.
will see many things of interest
besides getting enough fun to last
till next summer rolls around.
Each day of the IL during which
the boys will hike from here to
Chicago and on to northern Wis
consin and return will be crammed
full of new things. Beginning with
DeKalb, where they will see the
largest set of Lincoln pictures in
the world, there will not be mo-
ment idly spent.
In Chicago, which will be reach
ed on Wednesday morning, the
boys will no doubt see the most to
interest them. Very few of the
mixers have ever been in Chicago,
and so this is bound to be a big
treat. While in the Windy City
some of the big places will be Wis
tied, including the stockyards,
where every process from the
bringing in of the cattle to the fin
ished product will be seen. The
boys will get their fill of swimming
while here, as the Municipal pier,
Grant and Lincoln park beaches
will no doubt be. visited.
See Indian Country.
After remaining in the big
blow" for two days, the naval
training station at Great Lakes
will be the next place visited. An
afternoon will be spent here with
the sailors, and then the boys will
strike out to forget civilization for
a few days. Indian country with
all its adventures. including wild
animals and old trails, will be Wis
tied. Indian guides will take the
boys over much of the ground that
famous chieftains once trod and
the battle-ground where Black
Hawk fought will be part of it.

Wisconsin, now in the woods, and
then visiting cities such as Madi-
son, Milwaukee and Kenosha- The
return journey will take them to
Rockford, where they will see
Camp Grant.
The boys will no doubt see great
things, but the one thing that ap-
peals to them most is the camping
and the zeal outdoor life it will
give them. AS in past years, the
boys will do everything them
selves. Six cooks will take care
of the apYetites of the mixers and
a cobbler will see that they have
shoes on their feet. Besides these
there will be an artificer and boys
to see that the fire is built and see
that the camp grounds are left in
as good condition as when the boys
arrived.
Cooking Outfit Carried.
The large Pierce-Arrow truck
and trailer, which carries the bulk
of the load, also carries the cook
ing outfit. In this outfit is to be
found a regular kitchen outfit,
whuch much resembles mothers
pantry except that it is bit crude.
Books and photograph are carried
along so that there is not to be a
dull minute in the entire hike. A
touring car will carry some of the
boys and will take a large. part of
the baggage.
A corps of mechanics viii take
care of the autos and keep them
in tip-top trim for the daily trips,
and 10 of the boys will take care
of supplying home papers on the
hike.
The boys will leave town early
Monday morning and will not re-
turn to this city until Saturday,
