Curtis, according to the bill, is
sued pretended certificates of de-
post in the Grant Park Bank
an institution which the prosecu-
tion declared did not exist.
A large part of the money han
died through the arrangement was
invested in notes of Armour & Co.
and Swift & Co., Chicago packers,
and the bill charges that Curtis
collected approximately $4,000
interest from the packers
These particulars of the civil
suits are similar to and in fact
cover the same charges made in the
criminal cases pending against
Small, Sterling and Verne Curtis,
who is brother of the late senator,
whose death occurred in March,
1920.
All of the bills charged that the
five former treasurers made only
two, reports each on interest earn
1ngs during their terms; that the
interest accounts were not itemized
but submitted in lump sums. In

Bills against Russell. Ryan and
Mitchell contain substantially the
same general charges except as to
amounts. Each is charged with re-
moving records and failure to make
itemized returns

Monthly balances, returns and
collections as set forth in the bills

Illinois, still reverberating from
the political shock of the criminal
cases, experienced a new sensation
with the filing of the suits today.
Inclusion of Ryan in the civil
cases carries the alleged treasury
scandal across party lines. Ryan,
Democrat, was treasurer during
the first two years of the Dunno ad-
ministration. All the other defend
ants in the criminal and civil cases
are Republicans.
Fires of political hate. raging for
months in Republican ranks, fiared
with renewed intensity with the fl
ing OF the suits today. They mean
more war between Brundage and
Small.
The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1921-11-26

these former treasurers, according
to figures given by Attorney-Gen-
eral Brundage's office, follows:
Interest Turned In
Russell (I909-1S1D $50 ,306.42.
Mitchell (1911-1913) $166, 221-e3
Ryan t1s13-1915) $1s0,953.92.
Russell (1915-1s17) s142,sS3.39.
Small (1917-191e) S450, oI012.
Sterling (1si9-1s2D 1896, 121.S5.
Comparisons of these figures
with interest paid by John F
Smulski, whose term as treasurer
extended from 1907 to 1909, were
made here today by the Brundage
Office. Smulski, although the law
was not passed until after his
term began, paid in $169,514.97. &C
cording to the Brundage figures.
Smulski, they added; made his
returns quarterly.
$1,O00,0O0 on Sterling.
Although Sterling's aggregate
return amounted to $996,121, the
only available records, the bill con-
tinues, show that he collected APP
proximately $50G00o from banks
and that the amount collected by
Curtis from the packers was
greatly in excess of the difference
between the sums. The bill adds
that unaccounted interest totals
one million dollars during Ster-
ling's term.
The Sterling suit also contains
the charge that during his entire
term there were at all times sew
eral million dollars on deposit with
Dunlap, Russell & Co. of Jackson
vile, a bank in which Auditor
Russell is interested, and that the
treasury office holds no records
showing payment of any interests
to the state by the Russell bank.
Records show, according to the
attorney general, that the average
monthly balances, carried on the
books during Sterling's term, were
approximately $24 500, 900.
Ditto Small.
The bill against Governor Small
contains many allegations similar
to the Sterling bill. 1t charges
that Small, while treasurer, col
lected from the packers over ST.
900, 900. reported only $450,010 un-
itemized, and that interest unac'
counted for is approximately
$1,000, 900.

Plant Juice, that has done this.
Local testimonials from gratihed
users Of Plant Juice continue to pour
in. proving that this remedy is live
ing up to its reputation.
One Of the most recent rs that oi
Mr.. Alfred Wade, of Elkton, Md.
Mr. Wade has a fine farm and il
well known in this section OF ths
country. He said;
Myself and my wife also havs
derived wonderful benefit from Plant
Juice. When reading in our hons
papers OF people who had been
cured by Plant Juice I was inclined
to think that some Of these stories
were exaggerated until tested
Plant Juice for myself and found
that It was all that was claimed for
it. My wife was badly run down
and had no appetite; she was con-
stipated, could not sleep and was
very nervous; it was with the great
est difficulty that she got through
her days work. I was run down
also and slept poorly; had no am
bition or energy TO do my work;
was constipated, had headaches and
could not sleep at night We de-
cided to take Plant Juice and after
taking the first bottle, got so much
benefit from ii that we continued To
take It. Now we both are in the
best Of health, have good appetites,
sleep fine at night and are not trou-
bled with constipation. My wife
is certainly the picture of health
and what is most wonderful
her nursing baby seemed to absorb
the same benefit she got from Plant
Juice. It was very delicate and
weak and now II is fat and rosy
as it could possibly be. Plant Juice
is certainly a great medicine and I
am only too glad to give this public
endorsement for it."

SUNDAY BLAST
IN DUPONT YARD
Burning Powder Starts
Blaze That Covers Mile
of Wooded Tract
NO ONE HURT
BY EXPLOSION

With a roar that could be heard
for miles. 5000 pounds Of gunpow-
der stored in the blending house OF
the United States Flashless Powder
Company, a dupont concern. near
'Carrcroft. exploded shortly after
noon yesterday and scattered sec
tions Of the blending house in all
directions.
After the first explosion there we're
about a dozen others, which took
place when powder packed into car
tons and ready for shipment to the
War Department ignited and blew
up. Burning powder was blown into
the woods nearby and burned trees,
cordwood and small outhouses for
nearly a mile eastward. The fire
was blown in that direction by a
strong west wind, which was ex-
tremely fortunate, because stored in
other buildings Of the company were
more than $4,000 pounds Of gum
powder and guncotton being pre-
pared on government contracts.
The damaged, as estimated by
Ernest DUPONT, president OF the
company, will probably be $4,000.
Nobody was injured.
The blending house is one OF a
dozen buildings owned by the COM
pany in Carrcroft. near the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad tracks. In
that building the powder is graded,
mixed and packed. into cartons. The
company has been busy on big
contract for the War Department
and work has been speeded up. In
the blending house about thirty men
are employed, but there was nobody
at work yesterday.
Mr.. dupont said the radiators
/ had been turned on Saturday to dry
out the powder and had been kept
on all night. The rising temperature
yesterday. combined with the heat
I from the radiators no said, prob
ably caused the explosion.
When the powder ignited. there
was no one at the plant but tho
watchman and he summon,d the
Fame. Weccacoe, Water witch and
Brandywine Fire Companies, which
responded with their chemical ap'
paratus The hremen soon eN
tinguished the burning brush will

shalod by the chemist, who arrived
shortly after the explosion.

NEURASTHENIA
NERVE STARVATION
A Disease Of the Down Hearted-Proo-
teal advice on what to do.

Many a man is broken down and dts
couraged without having any actual
disease In his organs aud tissues-he has
lost his grip. feels weak and nervous and
everything looks dark. He Is suffering
from the great American disease-Neu-
rasthenia or nerve starvation, due to
over-work, worry, continual hurry and
nervous strain. The longer this con-
tinues the more certainly will II end in
real disease OF his organs, his nerves or
his mind.
such a man should live on the simple
foods, eat plenty Of cooked fruit and
green vegetables, sleep nine hours at
night II he can, an hour In the after
noon and feed his starving nerves and
weak, thin blood with a good nerve and
blood food, like Nuxated Iron. Nuxated
Iron contains a product brought to the
attention OF the French Academy Of
Medicine by the celebrated Doctor
Robin, which represents the principal
chemical constituents Of active living
nerve force II also contains genuine
organic iron like the iron In your blood
and like the iron in spinach, lentils and
Nuxated Iron may therefore be said to
be a real nerve and blood food since Il
supplies the principal ingredients de-
manded by your nerves and blood 10
give your strength, energy, force and
endurance. II often increases the bodily
ard mental vigOr OF weak, wOrnOut,
down hearted, and nervous folks in two
weeks time. Your money will be re-
funded by the manufacturers II Il does

suits. For sale by all druggists.
