INCREASE IN RATE
HITS WATER WORKS

Moline waterworks department is
facing another financial problem
due to increased railroad rates. The
city administration was notified to-
day by officials of the Burlington
railroad that the charge for per-
hitting coal cars on the tracks
more than 4S hours after delivery
has been increased from SO to $40
day.
Steven Buck, superintendent of
the waterworks, stated it is almost
impossible to get men to unload
coal and it frequently becomes nee
essary to allow coal to stand in the
cars on the tracks for days at a
time. Thus at the new rate delay
would involve great expense to the
city.

ing the playground will appear in
a cantata called Mother Goose's
Children.
Although definite arrangements
have not been made, an effort Is
being made to secure permission
of the chautauqua association to
use the tent for the presentation
of the playlet. The chautauqua
opens Aug. rs and the tent will in
all probability be ready for occu-
pancy the day before.
Mrs. Wilson reports an average
attendance of about forty at the
Fairgrounds since they opened a
few weeks ago. Although the play
grounds were started later than
usual, the interest shown by the
children and their parents has
more than made up for the short
ness Of the season. The greatest
number of children met at the
North park playground, where they
were instructed in healthful play
and exercise.
Preparations for the cantata have
been under way for several days,
the children practicing in the Will
liam and Vashti college building.
Members of the playground associ-
alton have expressed great salts
faction with the manner in which
the supervised play has been con-
Quoted, and expect that next year
the work will be taken up much
earlier in the season, thereby CIV
ing the children the benefit of sew
eral weeks more Of recreation IN

WHEN NATURE COLORS THE

 Beautifier It Is the Coloring Matter of Pure Blood That Makes a Good Complexion

Beauty is more than skin deep. No one can have a clear, delicate skin, glowing with health. if the blood is impure or lacking in the vitally necessary iron that gives the coloring matter to the 'life fluid" Neglect of regular and necessary waste elimination helps to render the blood impure and reduce it's iron con- tents. The best cosmetic in the world is pure, healthy, iron-rich blood.
 Doctors, realizing the importance of erriching and improving the blood, have for years prescribed Guides Pepto-Man- gan, the pleasant and proved blood builder and tonic.
 Pepto- -Mangan contains just the ele- ments needed to change thin, watery blood to good, red blood. Pepto- Mangan builds rich, red blood, enabling it to carry strength and vigor to every part of the body.
 Gude's Pepto-Mangan has become so well known by reason of doctors rec ommending it that you can get it in tab let or liquid form at any drug store. .In- stead of trying to cover up poor com p1exion, get a bottle of Gude's PeptO- Mangan and note how soon you feel bet ter, sleep better, work harder play with more zest-and how your skin and com plexion are improving.
 Only make sure to get the genuine. It has "Gude's'' on the package.--Adv.

HEFL|N SPEAKS TO
 CROWD IN MOBILE
Introduced By Col. R. V. Taylor = Candidate Re views Record on Ag-
 riculture

Mobile. April 1z.-(Special)- Con gressman J. Tom Heflin candidate for the short term United States senator to succeed Senator John H. Bankhead, spoke to a large crowd of Mobilians here last night.
 The candidate was introduced by Col. R, V. Taylor, former vice president railroad. MT Taylor referred to the candidate as the originator or advocate of most important measures for the people for the past sixteen years. He said that year in and year out the can didate advocated and aided the im- harbor. and that, if elected to the sen- ate he would be in better position to increase this service.
 Congressman Heflin told his hearers that he was a candidate for the va cancy only at the earnest solicitation of his friends. He told of his work in the interest of the agricultural popu- lation of the state; his work in secur- ing army trucks and other machinery discarded by the army for public roads and work for the passage of the law providing for government experts at Chicago to assist farmers in market ing fruits and other perishable goods, thus putting an end to robbery.
 The candidate gave thirty reasons why he should be elected to the office. principally the passage of laws that aid the agricultural and cotton inter- ests of the country. He pledged him. self to continue the work of good roads construction. He went into the history of measures passed and advocated by himself in the matter of protection for the cotton farmers requiring the gov ernment to reduce the number of grades of cotton and the publishing of cotton statistics.
 In regard to the railroads he said that he favored putting them upon paying basis, money-making basis, and then require them to serve the public efficiently, and that those who work for the roads must be paid such wages as win permit them to share in the prosperity enjoyed by the roads.
