 FAMO is the result of three years of careful experimentation in the laboratories of one of the old est pharniaeeuticai houses in De- troit.
 Before it was offered to the pub lie, it had been tried and tested and had proven the wonderful results it accompiishes.
 FAMO is the answer of scientists to the ravages of the seborrhean bacilli which cause unhealthy hair. Even if dandruff has not made it's appearance, you should use FAMO to keep the scalp and hair healthy and make the hair fluffy and beau tiful.
 FAMO comes in two sizes-ss cents and an extra large bottle at Sl00.
 It is sold at all toilet goods counters.

Little Poison Victims Make Won
derful Progress Be Able
to Go Home Soon.

Chicago. Oct. 14-There was con-
tinued improvement all day yester-
day and today in the condition of
the famous little Luikart girls al
the Columbia hospital.
Shirley. Z, who has been closer
to death than her sister, improved
materially in appearance, and
throughout the day Edna, 5, sought
to know why she could not go out
in the sunshine. She is apparently
normal. The threat of hemorrhage.
which alone menaces the life of
her elder sister, lessons with each
hour under treatment
So encouraged was Dr. Thomas
A. Carter, in whose care they have
been in their retreat from the val
ley Of death, that he visited the hos
pital only twice during the day.
After reading the charts at the two
little cots morning and evening he
announced the girls were slowly
progressing out of all danger and
that with a continuation of the i'm
provement for 10 days all fear of
hemorrhage will have passed.
Edna Feels Normal.
Edna is beginning to be irked
by the necessity of remaining IN
bed" said DIR. Carter today, for she
has picked up wonderfully in
strength and feels entirely normal.
Shirley has responded continuously
to treatment since Thursday and
today her color has improved so
that she looks nearly as well as
Edna.
"Of course Shirley is still in
danger and must be kept very
quiet, but she is a very good pa
tient. and today, although able 10
talk rapidly, has shown a tendency
to conserve her strength by just
remaining at ease. She is very
much aware Of everything which
take place about her and, with
Edna in the room, there is a good
deal taking place all the time.
IF we can continue this i'm
provement for 10 days it will not
be long before the little girls are
back in their home Since Thurs
day the improvement in both pa
tents has been uninterrupted and
their condition today is most IA

CLUB OF FUND
: TO ROOSEVELT
DIR. W. E. Taylor Explains CAM
palgn Soon to Be Conducted
For Memorial.

DR.. ". f. Taylor of Moline ad-
dressed the Rock Island Rotary
club in regular weekly session this
noon, upon the subject of the ma
ton wide campaign soon to be in
augurated for the purpose of rails
ing funds to build a monument to
Theodore Roosevelt.
He gave a historical sketch of
Roosevelt and several times men
toned him as the most American"
citizen of all time. Major Walter
Rosenfield was chosen by the RO-
TRANS TO carry on the campaign in
Rock Island.
An enjoyable feature of the meet
ing was a picture show presented
by Elmer Hallgren. He took NOV
ing pictures of the ROtarians sew
eral weeks ago when they were
busily engaged resurfacing the
Milan road in several places. 1t
,~~as great fun to see themselves
logged out in the habit of working
men and toiling with pick and
shovel, while in reality taking it
easy over the after dinner coffee.
A round table introduction fol-
lowed, in which the members taken
in during the last few months
were introduced. This is done every
few weeks, that good acquaintance
ship between members may be es-
tablished and preserved. Adjourn
ment came past the regular time,
after an announcement that all Ro-
tarians are expected to attend the
Sunday meeting tomorrow night as
a delegation.
