LOCO Wonen GuestA
Nearly one thousand women have
come to the city with their wives
and fathers, taking in every OPP
portunity the Rock Island COM
mandery has offered. Although on
ly 822 have registered ut the head
quarters Of the knights Templar.
about two hundreds have not reg
istered yet, perhaps because they
are scattered at private homes and
have not had the chance.
THE finest -eonclave I have ever
attended, and the expression 0t
many Of the women l have talked
to have been the same, II the Rock
Island convention. The women
don't usually turn out In such
large numbers, but Rock Islands
welcome hands have gone halfway
to meet them. We feel that the
Rock Island commandery has COM
plimented US, Grand Commander
Louis Emmerson and Marshal H.

parade and the great number Of lo-
cal people who were In it," Mrx.
Emmerson said.
All Women Pleased.

DR.. PALMER IN
PLAIN talk TO
BUSINESS men
Only Lower Prices Can Keep Money
In Davenport, Chiropractic
Head Declares.

DR.. B. J. Palmer, head Of the Pal
mer School of Chiropractic, told
1000 business men last night that
he could bring through the medium
Of his school about $4,000 people to
the tri-cities in the next 10 years,
providing lower prices could be
had as an inducement for students
to come to Davenport and bring
with them their dependents. He
spoke directly from the shoulder to
the merchants in declaring that
their cooperation was necessary to
bring this about.
The occasion was a banquet
given by Dr.. Palmer in honor Of
the dedication Of the new P. s. C.
administration building. 1t was
one Of the biggest events Of the
kind every held in the tri-cities
and perhaps the first time that SO
many business men have been as
sembled under one roof in Daven-
port. The banquet was served in
the cafeteria of the school and was
pronounced one Of The most delic-
ious ever tasted by those present.
Davenport Prices Up.
He declared that prices in DAY.
export today are higher than in any
other city in the country. He said
that this information comes to him
direct from his students, who come
from every place in the union and
from many foreign countries. He
said that the same story is heard
from all. Davenport is the highest
priced city they have ever known.
He cited the fact that he now has
1000 students, who with dependents
mean an addition Of 5000 people, to
the city, while they are attending
school.
He declared that these 5000 buy
ers spend no less than 5000, 200
every Is months. 1t used to re-
main in the tri-cities; now it goes
principally to mail order houses. he
stated.
Mail Orders Enormous.
DR.. Palmer called attention to
the rapidly increasing business OF
the mail order houses in Davenport,
and attributed this increase to but
one reason, viz: the high prices
charged by the local merchants.
This business has become "a
enormous that one large Chicago

Any slight disorder or impurity
that creeps into the blood is a
source of danger. for every vital
organ Of the body depends upon the
blood supply to properly perform
its functions. 1t is quite true that
practically every one is equally ex-
posed to the attacks of disease.
You are just as liable to be attack
ed as the man or woman sitting
next to you on the street car. 1t
all depends upon the condition of
your blood. If it is thin and i'm
poverished. and has been allowed
to reach a low state by the accumu-
lation of impurities. you have not
sufficient vitality to resist these
germ attacks, and they find a fer
tie field in your system to spread
disease.
Over a hundred years ago the
Indians made many excellent reme-
dies and tonics from roots and herbs
gathered from the forests.
