FILE WAR TAXES
THROUGH OFFICE
IN ROCK ISLAND

With the opening yesterday OF
the federal tax collectors office
in the federal building, the pub
lie can now be taken care of the
public on luxury and document tax
stamps. That Office was quite busy
with applications for those directly
after opening yesterday morning.
1t is especially urged by the coll
lectors that all people running ice
cream and soft drink dispensing
places coming under the luxury tax
ruling, as well as places where adj
mission and hence war tax is charg-
ed, file the returns of their bust
ness through this Office When
these returns are sent to Chicago
that office returns them here for
filing. This causes unnecessary
trouble and delay, so that it is a
much better plan to present the
same report at this Office which was
sent periodically to Chicago while
the local agency was closed.

William B. Mcintyre of the

in the place of this person who is
known among other things for his
eagerness to give birth to optim-
ism in souls that have been soured
perhaps by burned toast for break

slipping away from the joy side of
life's ledger.

operating a city in the era of the

ALMOST GAVE Up
Mrs. BuIey Had Suffered Twenty
YeaTs-IS Perfectly Well
Now.

When my friends ask me what
caused my wonderful improvement,
l Just say 'Tanlac,' and they seem
to understand" said Mrs. Burl Blu
ley, residing at 521 Baxter court,
Canton, Illinois, while talking to a
Tanlac representative the other
day.
For the past twenty years. con-
tinued Mrs Buley, Il have suffered
from acute Indigestion, and when
these spells came on me the pain
and misery | underwent is simply
more than anybody will ever know.
My stomach was in such bad condi-
ton that the least thing I ate would
cause me TO suffer terribly after
wards. l finally got to where even
a little milk and toast would cause
me to have bad cramping spells,
and gas would form so bad that |
could hardly get a good breath.
This condition kept up until l was
so weak and run down that | was
not able to attend to my homework.
l also suffered a great deal from
headaches, and sometimes | would
have such bad spells of it that it
just seemed that my head was go
ing to burst. I was so nervous all
the time that the least little thing
would upset me, and | never knew
what a good nights sleep was
Nothing l took in the way of med
icine and treatment seemed to do
me any good at all, and ! had just
about given up all hope of ever be-
ing well again.
We'll, the papers were having a
great deal to say about Tanlac, and
ed by using it, so | got my hus-
band to get bottle of it for me.
The day that l commenced taking
Tanlac certainly marks the turn
ing point for me, for I began to i'm
prove before had finished my first
bottle of this wonderful medicine.
Why, in little or no time l could
eat just anything l wanted with
out suffering afterwards, and l just
continued to improve until my
twenty years of suffering is COM
pletely at an end. l eat things
now that l haven't dared touch for
years. Those awful headaches have
left me, too, and I never have a
sign of acute Indigestion In fact,
l am perfectly well in every way,
and when night comes now, sleep
like babysfor eight or nine hours.
1 tell everybody 1 meet about Tan
lac, for L know it is solely respon-
sible for the good health 1 now
enjoy"
Tanlac is sold in Rock Island by

new PLANS FOR
SIDEWALK, OLD
PACTS REVOKED
City Commission Authorizes New
Way and ReVOkes Old 0rdi-
nanceS for improvements

Several changes in the walk
construction program of Rock Is
land were made at a meeting OF
the city commission yesterday aft
ernoon.
A project for construction of a
concrete sidewalk on the west side
of Twelfth street, between Tween
tieth and Forty-fourth avenues.
was authorized by the commission
in an ordinance accepted by all
members. The measure was pro-
posed by Mayor II. M. Schriver.
Bids for carrying ont the project
will be asked soon in order that
work may be commenced as early
as practicable.
While authorizing new construc-
ton, the commission also revoked
arrangements made by city officials
some time ago for constructing
certain sidewalks and laying a
sewer main.
These two changes were unani-
mously voted upon recommends
ton of the mayor, the revocation
of the plans being made as salts
faction to persons in the vicinities
affected not now in exact harmony
with former arrangements.
One ordinance repeats an old
ordinance which provided for the
construction of sidewalks as fol-
lows:
On the west side of Sixteenth
street. between Eighteenth and
Twenty-first avenues.
On Twenty-first avenue, from
the east side of Sixteenth street to
the west side of Fourteenth street.
On the west side of Fifteenth
street, between Twenty-f1rst and
Twenty-third avenues.
The other measure revokes an
old ordinance which contemplated
the laying of an 8-inch sewer main
on Fifth avenue, extending from
the sewer terminal on Twenty
first street west to the east line OF
Twentieth street.

drawn up four years ago and

1920. The contract then provided
for a sliding scale, increasing the

Employers declare that their
work cannot increase in any lump
sum to warrant an advance in
salaries of $40 a week. They claim
that many employers have large
contracts on hand which will
probably run several months and
that they were drawn up under the
old wage scale. They say that

they cannot expect to meet present
