need for clothing among hundreds
of thousands of refugees in north

tive than that for food" says a bull
letin from Paris. THE present
prices of clothing in France are
prohibitive; accordingly the refu-
gee families are absolutely unable
to clothe themselves. And what is
true in northern France is also true
in many other countries which suf-
fered under the advance of the Hun

have gone barefoot; that under
wear is a luxury; that garments
made of burlap and skirts made of

eyeL diseases, failing sight, blindness
deafness, loss of hearing, head noises
ulcers of the ears, catarrh of the
nose, head. throat and diseased ton
silS to try his treatment one time
free and see if 1t will help them. He
says he can straighten any case of
cross-ey without chloroform or
ether at one visit, and removes ade-
noids without an anesthetic in a
few minutes, and without danger of
hemorrhage. He treats most tonsils
without cutting. He says catarrh is
a constitutional disease, and every
case is durable, but must be treated
nose. He is curing many very Sc
we're cases. He says half OF the cases
of deafness are incurable, because
the tissues of the ear are too badly
damaged by disease He can tell on
examination. He says many cases
Of blindness are durable, many are
incurable. He says many cases of
back of the head, stomach troubles
rheumatism, neuralgia, neuritis. are
caused from catarrn. He especially
urges people who are growing deaf
in one ear, or have head noises just
starting in the other, and every case
of catarrh. to try his treatment once
free.
Mrs Anna Ruhser suffered with
headaches caused from catarrh more
or less for 40 years; was cured in
three months. Carl Nelson was so
deaf in one ear caused from catarrh
that he could not hear an alarm
clock pressed against his ear. He
restored his hearing almost perfect.
Chris IAahl of Wilton, Iowa, was
GROSS eyed since birth, IS years, both
eyes; made his eyes straight in five
minutes. He sat and talked, and
went home without a bandage. Miss

To the Citizens of Rock Island. Iii
nois:
take this occasion to announce
myself as a candidate for the office
of Mayor, on the following plat
| form:
l stand for a square deal for all
classes of people, rich or poor. re-
CARELESS of their station in dife,
sect, creed or color.
am in favor of law and order,
and its strict enforcement.
In times of epidemic, / believe IN
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.
/ 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 and reasonable compensation
for service rendered
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, l am in favor Of
them doing 80 out of their Excess
siye 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.
am now and always have been
in favor of public improvements,
but under proper conditions. At
the present time, cost Of materials
and freight rates are so high, that
the cost of improvements are prac-
tically prohibitive, excepting in en-
ergencies.
believe in progress, and have
been identified with most of the
great improvements inaugurated in
this city in the last thirty years. I
laid the first paving brick on Sec
tablish the first paid fire depart
ment; l inaugurated a system of
grades and enforced the building of
permanent sidewalks; was instru-
mental in securing and erecting the
public library; l rebuilt and COM
pleted the reservoir; l started and
lnaugurated the Rock Island park
system; l helped plan and arrange
a 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, do not
stand on a platform of promises.
For / have a record of accomplish
ments behind me, of which 1 am
not ashamed. believe l have not
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-
into a sound and safe
financial harbor for the future.
If you thik l am still progressive
and have the stamina and
nerve, to stand and fight for what
think is right and for the best in
terests of the city and its people, l
ask you to give me your support,
not only at the primaries, but also
at the election.
