b@s Of automobile brakes, said:

are not familiar with the construc-
tion Of brakes. attempt to remedy
their own brake band difficulties.
With the result that the work Is
often poorly done and the brakes
do not prove worthy in an emerg
ency. Garage owners should see
that only experienced workmen are
allowed to repair brakes. helpers

NO FLU CASES IN
48 HOURS REPORT
OF HEALTH BOARD

Influenza in Aledo has been
showing a decided decline during
the past few days. Health officials
stated this morning that not 4 sin
gle case of the disease had been re-
ported since Tuesday. 1t is said
that there are several cases OF
smallpox throughout the county. 1t
is generally supposed that the
smallpox is being brought to Mer-
Ger county by people who have
been in Monmouth lately.
1t is said that the city Of Mon
mouth is suffering a very serious
epidemic of the disease. Residents
of Aledo and surrounding country
have been very fortunate with re-
gard to contagious diseases. There
have been very few cases Of COM
municable diseases in the county
during the past few months. Ply
sicians are of the opinion that no
epidemic will be suffered because
of the attitude Of cooperation which
has been shown. Promptness in
reporting such disease has been
the means Of stopping it before il
gained a serious hold.

HOUSE ATTIRE
smoke and Flames Awaken Fan.
iiy Early This Morning.
Total Several Hundred.

Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Axell, 1880
Eighteenth avenue A, Moline,
awoke early this morning to find
the house filled with smoke and
flames darting up through the floor
OF their bedroom. The infant child
Oh the A1ells was sleeping in its
crib by the side of thu mother and
when the latter realized the danger
she seized the baby and hurried to
neighbors. The baby apparently
did not suffer from effects Of the
smoke.
The firemen received the alarm
at o'clock this morning and quick
work on their part saved the resi-
denee from destruction. It is
thought that the blaze started from
a box Of rubbish in the basemen,
and was rapidly gaining Roadway
when the firemen reached the
scene. Smoke was pouring from
the windows and doors and it was
with difficulty that the men were
able to enter the basement.
The flames had badly charred the
Joists and floors of the dining room
and the bedroom. 1t is estimated
the damage will total several hun.
dred dollars.

his restaurant. He returned to the
restaurant and drank the contents
OF the bottle and requested that
no attempt be made to save him.
DR.. L. r. Lervis Of North Hender-
son was summoned and experienced
difficulty in administering to the
man. When he attempted to give
the patient medicine to relieve his
suffering, Asher steadfastly refused
to take it. Finally force was used
and attempts to empty the stomach

several hours he showed signs OF
recovering. Later in the day. &C.

suit Of protesting petition signed

ing on Third street between Eigh-
teenth and Twenty-third avenues.
Yesterday afternoons action elm
mated for the present AZ possibil-

the future were the principal argu-
ments advanced by the operators.
