WOMEN, HERE Is
A MONEY SAVER

Save five to ten dollars quickly by
dry cleaning everything in the home
just as easy as laundering You can
dry clean suits, coats. waists, silks
laces, gloves, shoes, furs. draperies,
rugs. mems clothes-everything that
would be ruined by soap and water.
Place a gallon or more of gasoline
in a dishpan or wash boiler, then put
in the things to be cleaned and wash
them with Solvite soap. Shortly every
thing comes out looking like new.
Nothing fades. shrinks or wrinkles.
No pressing needed. Do not attempt
to dry clean without Solvite soap. This
gasoline soap is the secret of all dry
cleaning.
A package of Solvite soap containing
directions for home dry cleaning costs
but a few cents at any drug. grocery
or department store. Dry clean away
from flame or out of doors.-Adv.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Before

he loved me. One time he asked
me to marry him. but in fun l put
him off and would not promise.
He was one of the first drafted
Before he went away he did not
mention marriage again, but
thought it was because he would
not tie me to promise at such a
time.
After he had been at camp sew
eral months he receh ed a com
mission. After that he did not
write so often. Then | learned
from a mutual friend that he was

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

Can a cyst be cured without an
operation? What causes a cyst? A
girl friend reduced fifty pounds By
following your Karell regimen sew

following it two weeks. Why Is
that? On. B. Fl
Answer-A cyst is a sac contain
ing fluid or semi-fluid contents,
such as a wen on a scalp. Operation
is the only cure, though a cyst is
usually not particularly dangerous
to health. (2) Perhaps you indulgel
in too much good wholesome food
between drinks. I am unable to ex-
plain the difference without know
ing all the facts.
SIENNA Leaves and Figs.
Please tell me whether a "chaw"
of SIENNA leaves and figs chopped up
together is more harmful to take
every night as a laxative than pills
or mineral waters. (E. j.
Answer-No. rather less harmful.
The Cnteachable Nurse.
Please tell me whether il is safe
for a baby's nurse to test the milk
before giving the baby his bottle. A
doctor once warned me never to
feed a baby from a spoon l had put
in my mouth. But the nurse, who
has had much experience. says it
is necessary always to test the
milk that way. &C. r. FL
Answer-The nurse, and her vast
experience, will be the death OF the
baby some fine day. Better let her

Celebrating the Fourth.

One hundred forty-three years ago Is colo
MES the Atlantic coast proclaimed that all
men are born equal and that taxation without
representation is unjust, and they then pro-
ceeded to make it stick so far as they were
concerned. The anniversary of that declara-
ton is approaching and it means more now
than it ever did, because the moral force and
the armed might of the government which the
original IS colonies set up has just won
ceptance from all the civilized world of the
principles enunciated nearly one and one-half
centuries ago.
Since the last Fourth of July the way has
been opened for the enjoyment of independ
ence and self government of all peoples capable
and DESTROYS of ruling themselves. Accom-
pIishment of this immense forward step in
world history is only a matter now OF time and
detail We ought to celebrate this coming
tional holiday it never was celebrated be-
fore. The people should take more interest
in it than they seem to be manifesting.
What form the observance will take in Rock
Island is left in the hands of the Independence
Day association. of which Major W. A. Rosen-
field is head. This organization needs the CO.
operation of all the people if the occasion is
to be celebrated as it should be and as Moline

Except in the case of Battery F no opportunity
has been given since the fighting ended for
popular expression of appreciation of service
rendered, though the homecoming committee
headed by W. L. Franks has been diiigent and
has given individuals and small groups such
attention as the manner of their return admit
ted The general public, however has not had
the privilege of showing the gratitude and adj
miration it holds for all the men from the COM
munity who responded to the call to arms and
that is the logical form for this celebration OF
the national birthday to assume.
