The cotton caterpillar has made its
appearance in some fields, doing much
damage in some places. Some fields
are merely brown expanses, caused by
them. Those who bought heavily Of

Some also report the pink boil worm

SHOWS FUTILITY
OF, HUN IDEALS
DR.. Hugh Black Of New York City
Delivers First of Series of
Lectures.
AT BROADWAY UNTIL FRIDAY.
At Meeting Of the Session of
Church Decision Reached to
Make No Collection.

Broadway Presbyterian church,
Rock Island, was filled with large
audience last night for the opening
OF the series of lectures by Prof
Hugh Black of New York City. The
lecturer spoke on the Ideal of
Nations and Men"
For a basis Of Interpretation for
the modern situation DR.. Black
used a classic passage from me
book Of jeremiah which he said
gave the best statement of the phil
osophy of history for men and ma
tons. He spoke Of the prophets
denunciation of the empty trust of
his own nation on "The wisdom of
>e wise, the might of the mighty
and the riches of the rich" In the
examination from the historical
point Of view Of these three phases
DR.. Black showed how nations and
men still trusted in these three ele-
ments. In modern national life
they were known as diplomacy, ar
maments and wealth.
By the use of powerful illustra-
tons from the war with Germany
and now her utter defeat, he showed
the futflity of these ideals. No ma
ton in the history of all the world
had dedicated themselves in conf
dence in these three things to such
an extent. Her diplomacy covered
the world with a network of in
trigue, she had built a mighty mill
tary machine in fifty years careful
preparation, the money she had ia
ken from France in 1870 was I'M
touched until 1914 when the old
French coin began to circulate once
again.
DR.. Black showed that something
else was needed for the permanent
ideal and hope for the nation. The
'Npal strength of a nation rests in
its moral life, which he interpre-
ted as understanding and knowing
Gods will for men. This will,
when analysed, he showed to con-
sist of love, justice and righteous
ness. DR.. Black will lecture this
evening on 1.-The Doctrine of the
State-the American VS. the Ger
man"

about It In that the people with

Aeir trouble really is.
No matter how good or how
wholesome the food may be, or how
much they eat, they do not gain in
strength. This is clearly explained
by the fact that an acid-stomach

Into the 1ntestines, 1t becomes the
breeding place for all kinds of

and IN this way distributed through

exactly why Il is that so many
thousands of people eat and eat
and keep on eating and yet are lit

acid-storrach Is the real cause Of
the trouble.
Naturally, the sensible thing to
do is to strike right at the very
cause of this trouble and clean the
excess acid out Of the stomach
There is q quick, easy way To do
this. A wonderful new remedy
quickly removes the excess acid
without the slightest discomfort 1t
is EATONIC. Made in the form Of
tabletrthey are good to eat-tust
like a bit of candy. They literally
absorb the Injurious excess acid
and carry it away through the in
testines. They also drive the bloat
out Of the body-in fact you can
fairly feel It work. Make a test OF
EATONIC in your own case today.
Get a big box of EATONIC from
your druggist See for yourself
how surely It brings quick relief
IN those painful attacks OF indiges-
ton. bitter heartburn. belching, dis
gushing food repeating. that awful
bloated, lumpy feeling after eating
and other stomach miseries. Danish
all your stomach troubles SO COM
pfetely that you forget You have
a stomach. Then you can eat what
you like and digest your food in
comfort without fear of distressing
after effects.
If EATONIC does not relieve you,
d will not cost you one penny. You
can return It to your druggist and
get your money back So If you
have the slightest question about
your health-f you feel you are not
getting all the strength out OF your
food-ff you are not feeling tip-top,
ready for your work. full of vim
and yigor-do give EATONIC a fair
trial this very day and see how
much better you will feel
