WRESTLER Who
ATTEMPTED TO
ROB IS CALLED
Enil Deme4zi, Committed to Water.
town Hospital . Week Ago.
Dies Of Exhaustisn.

Ell Demetri, Rumanian wrestler
who attempted to hold up the Hog
lund grocery at 1850 Sixteenth
street, some time ago, is dead at the
WATERFOWL state hospital.
Demetri died at the hospital yes
terday afternoon. He had been
there one week, after he was ar
rested on complaint>of Adolf Hog
lund, and had exhibited violence at
the county Jail on numerous occas-
ions.
According to the hospital physi-
clans, the wrestler's death was due
to sheer exhaustion. Authorities
claim that three guards were re-
quired day and night.
As far as the authorities here
know the dead man had no relatives
in America. He was 46 years old
and came to Moline about q month
ago from the west. He told Moline
police that he had. $500 in a bank
in Seattle.
Demetri, prior to being involved
in the attempt to rob the grocery,
was a frequent visitor at the police
station and at newspaper offices. He
acted peculiarly, but was not consid-
cred insane. One of his feats at the
police station was to throw a 200
pound policeman over his shoulder
with an apparently simple move
ment of one hand.
After he was arrested the wrestler
told the police that he was a vet
eran of the World war and had
killed 100000 Germans and buried
5000. sf

RECIPE TO CLEAR

Pimples Are Impurities Seeking ID
Outlet Through Skin
Pores.

Pimples, sores and boils usually
result from toxins, poisons and I'M
purities whic hare generated IN lne
bowels and then absorbed into tne
blood through the very ducts wnich
should absorb only nourishment u
sustain the body.
It is the function of the kidneys
to filter impurities from the blooa
and cast them out in the form Oh
urine, but in many instances the
bowels create more toxins and I'M
purities than the .idneys can elm
mate, then the blood uses the SIKH
pores as the next lest means OF get-
ting rid of these impurities when
often break out all over the SKIN IN
the form of pimples.
The surest way to clear the shin
of these eruptions, says noted au-
thority, is to get from any pharm-
acy about four ounces of Jad saits
and take a tablespoonful in a glass
of hot water each morning before
breakfast for one week. This VIII
prevent the formal ON OF toxins IN
the bowels. It also stimulates inc
kidneys to normal activity, tnus

SALE 70 GREECE
GIVES BOOST TO
WHEAT PRICES

Chicago, Feb. 23.-Strength de-
veloped in the wheat market today
owing to,more or less to word that
Greece had bought 1900. 900 bushels
over the holiday. Gossip that farm
deliveries would increase after Feb
ruary stended also to encourage
bullish sentiment. It was said that
assessing time would be passed
and that field work would be occu-
plying the attention Of farmers.
Opening quotations, which varied
from unchanged figures to Nc
higher, with March at 1.72A to
1.72h and May at 1.62 to 1.621l,
were followed by moderate gains
all around, and then something Of
q reaction.
Later, the market sagged. Pre-
dictions were current that on ac-
count of decreased consumption
farm service would be larger than
expected. The close was easy, Nc
to &c net lower, with March $1.74A
to $1.71h, and May, $1.61h.
The market subsequently weak
ened account Of assertions Of farm
deliveries in March would be the
largest on record. Prices closed
steady, Nc to %c@1zc lower. with
May, 71A071%c to TIC.
Corn rose with wheat. After
opening a shade to Nc lower. in
Guiding May at TN to 71x, the
market scored an upturn for all
deliveries.
Oats were flfmer a. . result OF
the advance In other cereals. The
start was unchanged to Nc high
er, May at 46 to ASH, and there
were general gains later.
Higher quotations on hogs help
ed to lift provisions.

NUTTING SHOWS
DIFFERENT WAY
OF GOVERNMENT

According to e. P. Nutting, prin-
cipal of the Moline high school
written constitution is
probably a fortunate safeguard
against the natural hasty tendency
and ill-considered action of Amer
leans. Mr. Nutting spoke before
the members of the Moline Univer-
sity club last evening.
In his address Mr.. Nutting COM
pared the English system Of gov
eminent with that of the United
States. He declared that the
checks and balances of the Ameri-
can system were inserted partly to
guard against dangers of an en-
cr0achment which are now non-ex-
istent and partly out of Difference
to theory accepted at the time but
now open to serious question.
But" said Mr.. Nutting, mo COM
parison of the two systems of gov
eminent would be fair which does
not take into account the character
and temperament of the two peo-
Piles. Though our political inheri-
tance is British, it cannot be said
that our racial inheritance is Brit
ish. We are temperamentally less
conservative and patient than they
and it may be fortunate dispen-
sation of Providence that the Gre
ators of our fixed constitution, with
its cumbersome provisions for
amendment, builded better than
they know.
ut may therefore be fortunate
faor us that our tendency to hasty
and ill-considered action, arising
partly from our strong admixture
of blood other than Anglo-Saxon,
and from the large masses of unas-
simulated aliens, effectively checked
by our rigid constitution.
I'm spite Of the enormous Difficult
ties of amendment, Our impetuosity
and impotence carried us past all
obstacles and achieved woman's
suffrage at practically the same
time that our British cousins reach
ed that goal, while in the matter of
prohibition of liquor we are many
it is hard to say how many-years
ahead of them.
I'm considering these facts we
must remember that simple act
of parliament is all that is neces-
sary to make any change, no mat
ter how radical, in their govern
ment, social or political life. If
the British were burdened by our
elaborate system of checks and
balances it is doubtful if they would
make any progress at all.
Each system is probably best
for the people that use it, if We are
[. to judge by the results achieved SO
far, which is the only fair measure
of merit"
The next meeting Of the club will
be social session to which women
friends of members are invited.
The meeting will he held at high
school March %.

A large crowd Of people, num-
bering more than $50, filed the
club rooms of the American Legion

vitation issued by the legion for
the public to be their guests at

joyable one for the guests had been
provided by the legion men and
all who attended expressed them
selves as highly pleased with the
form of entertainment furnished by
the men. This event was the first

it is the hope of the public in gen
eral that they will arrange to have
others in the future. -
The first number on the program
was a piano solo by Miss Pauline
LeMaster. Following this the le-
gion quintet rendered a selection,
which was followed by q solo

ented members of the company
took turns in playing the piano and
many enjoyed dancing until late
hour. The pool table proved to be
another attractive spot, and many
future pool shooters tried theil
luck at the game. Members Of the
legion proved very useful in en-.
couraging the beginners from the
sidelines and in attempting to in.
diligently explain the game to the
players of the "fairer SEX
During the evening the key te
the legion rooms was presented tt
Mrs. o. E. Carlstrom. president Of
the woman's auxiliary and it was
requested by the legion that thu
