Dentists warn us against the
bad effects of acid mouth, point
ing out that the acid eats through
the enamel OF the teeth, causing
them to decay. You can easily
imagine then the amount of dam

Thousands Of people are using
EATONIC and the results obtain
ed are so remarkable as to be
almost unbelievable Yet their
letters of gratitude. many of
which are received daily, prove
absolutely that EATONIC does all
and even more than We claim.
The medical profession, too, rec
ognizes the great value of It's
wonderful remedy. A learned
Michigan doctor wrote recently:
Il have such wonderful success
with EATONIC that 1 want every
one to know how quickly 1t will
neutraliZe the acidity of the stom-

EATONIC from your druggist to-
day. If it fails In any way to give
you the kind OF satisfaction you
want, take it back-he will re-

To the Citizens of Rock Island, Hi
nois:
take this occasion to announce
myself as a candidate for the office
of Mayor, on the following plat
form:
1 stand for square deal for all
classes of people, rich or poor, re-
gardless of their station in difer
sect, creed or color.
l. am in favor of law and order,
and its strict enforcement.
In times of epidemic, l 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 its people,
but am in favor of their having a
fair ana reasonable compensation
for service rendered.
l pledge myself to resist to the
utmost any attempt TO secure a
seven-cent car fare. If street car
lines wish to increase the wages u
their employees, | 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.
l am now and always have been
in favor Of public improvements,
bat under proper conditions. At
the present time, cost of materials
and freight rates are so high, that
the cost of improvements are pTac-
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 1883; | helped to es-
tablish the first paid fire depart
ment; l inaugurated a system of
grades and enforced the building of
permanent sidewalks; l was instru-
mental in securing and erecting the
public library; l rebuilt and COM
pleted the reservoir; l started and
inaugurated the Rock Island park
system; | helped plan and arrange
d financial system, whereby the city
of Rock Island has paid off debts
contracted almost fifty years ago,
by means of refunding bonds
through the state treasury, which
plan was instituted by me twenty
years ago. My present admins
tration was responsible for the &C
curing of the BELT Line" which
has been talked of for the past for
ty years, opening a free railway
right-of-way to all railroads oper-
ating in our city from our eastern
city limits to our southern limits on
Rock river
Unlike most candidates, I do not
stand on a platform of promises.
For 1 have a record of accomplish
not ashamed. | believe l have rot
only the experience, but also the
knowledge and ability to guide the
city of Rock Island through the
financial shoals it is at present en-
countering, into a sound and safe
financial harbor for the future
If you thik l am still progressive
enough, and have the stamina and
nerve, to stand and fight for what 1
think is right and for the best in
terests of the city and its people, 1
ask you to give me your support,
not only at the primaries, but also
at the election.

iowa MAN SHOT
IN FOOT SEEKS
) PAY OF COUNTY
Mother of Claude Radech, Presum-
ably Wounded by Sheriff Wig
ers, Appeals to Board
CONSIDER NEW ROAD WIDTH
Highway Planned near Milan Too
NszTOw-Naming Women Elec-
ton Clerks Held Illegal

Is Rock Island county under OBJ
legation to repay Claude Radech,
the Iowa man who was shot
through the foot in the gun battle
between bandits and officers on the
Coaltown road near Moline on the
night of Dec. 81, 1918?
It would seem that Radech was
an unfortunate victim of circum-
stances. He lives at 721 West
Seventh street, Davenport Yester-
day afternoon, his mother, Mrs.
Frank Radech appeared before the
board of supervisors and asked that
her son be allowed a sum covering
medical and hospital expense and
five weeks salary, which she de-
clared he lost due to the injury to
his foot. She said he was employed
at the River to River garage, being
paid S25 per week as a chauffeur.
On motion of Supervisor W. n.
Phillips the matter was referred to
the judiciary committee to report
back to this session of the board. An
adverse report is anticipated.
Mrs. Radech stated that her son
was not on duty on the night of the
pistol duel, but with a chum and
two feminine companions was joy
riding in a taxicab belonging TO the
Black Hawk company of Davenport
The driver was a friend OF her
boys, Mrs. Radech said.
Says Sheriff Shoots Son
According to her story, holdup
men stopped the party on the Coal
town road at the spot where the
! shooting later took place. After re-
Heving the male members of their
money, the robbers were about to
get into the Buick roadster in which
they had been riding when the late
Sheriff Jacob S. Wigers and his two
deputies drove up. Mrs. Radech de-
clared that her son saw the sheriff
jump from the running board of his
machine and that he at once open
ed fire. The first ball struck her son
in the foot, she asserted. 1t was
then that the highwayman raised
his arm and fired the shot which
felled the sheriff. Radech saw the
sheriff fall.
The stickup men made their geta-
way while the stricken official and
fIdueCn were IuSUGu 10 the hOll0e
city hospital, where a few hours
later Sheriff Wigers expired with
out regaining consciousness. Rad
ech was later removed to the
Mercy hospital, Davenport.
Want Road Width Changed
A proposal to change the specif-
cations for road to be constructed
beginning on the southern edge of
Milan and extending west there
from, from a highway part 10 and
part Is feet in width to one 16 feet
in width to conform with the state
bond issue roads, was referred to
the state aid or special road COM
mittee for consideration and to re-
port back at this session.
In this connection Fl. E. Surman
nj Aurora, state highway engineer,
briefly explained the situation to
the board members. He declared
that the original appropriation of
$4,000 for the construction of the
road would not be increased by the
desired change, the only difference
being that the highway will of nee
essity be shorter No work has yet
been begun on the road but the

Members of the Davenport Auto
club hope that the request VIII be
granted and that a resumption OF
pre-war regulations will follow. il
the request is granted a large and
valuable saving of time will be the
result for residents and business
houses of Davenport and Moline

Automobile Club Petitions Colonel
Jordan for Opening of
Main Avenue.

To cut the automobile distance
between Davenport and Moline,
avoid congestion of traffic or the
other side of the river, and prevent
the wholesale arrest OF motor
vehicle drivers on the other side
of the river for minor infTactions
of auto ordinances, the Davenport
Aut club has sent a letter TO
Colonel II. B. Jordan, commandant
at Rock Island arsenal, asking that

Discussion on the legality of
women serving as clerks and
| judges on election boards during
elections at which women do not
! have the right of the full ballot, oc-
| cupied considerable time. 1t was
! finally terminated when the matter
was referred to the judiciary com
mittee for consideration and future
report The committee probably
will report against women judges
Women may serve as clerks and
judges on election boards according
to the law when all questions in-
volved in the election can be voted
on at the polls by the feminine
voter If there is one Office or prop
osition which is constitutional,
thereby preciuding the possibility
of women voting, fair clerks or
judges upon election boards are il
legal and offer excellent grounds for
contesting the election, according
to various members of the board
who have given the matter much
thought and attention.
Moline Action Faulty
1t was pointed out that the Moline
election might be contested due to
the fact that women served as
clerks on election boards. In the
election the office of police magis-
trate, a constitutional one upon
which women have no vote, was bal
loted upon. The idea of using wOm-
en- for election board purposes was
advanced during the recent acute
scarcity of men who could find time
for the duties.
