The tri-city chapter Of the Amer
lean Association Of Engineers WILL
meet In special session Jan. 20 at
the Rock Island Chamber Of Com
merce rooms for the purposes Of re-
organization along lines laid down
in changes made In the national
constitution and bylaws. r. c.
Bailey. formerly Of Washington,
now Of Chicago, In charge Of chap
ter activities OF the national sssocia-
ton. will be here to help In the re-
organization plans.
A member OF. the, local chapter
points out that the aim Of the asso-
citation Is to increase social and
business standing OF the members
and to create a certain style Of
ethics to be observed by the engi-
neering profession, rather than for
purposes to increasing salaries
paid to the profession. He states
that the public has generally mis-
understood the organization in be-
lieving that 1t is laid down along
the latter lines.

Don't Spoil Your Hair
By Washing It

When you wash your hair, be
careful what you use. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain too
much alkali, which is very inju-
rious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap and beats anything else
all to pieces. You can get Mulsified
at any drug store and few ounces
will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with wa
ter and rub it in, about a teaspoon
full is all that is required. 1t makes
an abundance of rich, creamy lath-
er, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses
out easily. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and is soft, fresh look
ing. bright, fluffy. wavy and easy
to handle. Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle Of dust,
dirt and dandruff. Be sure your
druggist gives you Mulsifled.-

HER BOY HAD ALWAYS
Been Weak AND PUNY
Now eats everything in sight
and romps with playmates.

my four year old boy had been
weak and puny since birth, and had
constipation and indigestion. Nothing
did him any good until we tried Mllts
Emulsion. Since using it, he can't
get enough to eat and has outgrown
his childhood trouble. He plays out
with the children now, and he was
never able to do that before. WIN.

Ind.
Weak, ailing children usually start
eating and getting stronger from the
very first bottle Of Milks Emulsion.
Most children like to take it. because
It really tastes good. A trial costs
nothing.
Nilks Emulsion is q pleasant, nutri-
tive food and q corrective medicine. It
restores healthy, natural bowel action,
doing away with all need of pills and
physics. 1t promotes appetite and
quickly puts the digestive organs in
shape to assimilate food. As builder
Of flesh and strength, Milks Emulsion
II strongly recommended to those
when sickness has weakened, and Is
a powerful aid in resisting and repair
ing the effects of wasting diseases.
Chronic stomach trouble and constipa-
ton are promptly relieved. 1t pro-
duces remarkable results in colds,
coughs and bronchial asthma.
This il the only solid emulsion made,
and 30 palatable that it is eaten with
q spoon like ice cream.
No matter how severe your case, you
are urged to try Milks Emulsion under
this guarantee six bottles home

Che Jou Of
the True Spirit
Of Christmas

m RE you willing to forget what
IA you have done for other people
and remember what other people
have done for you; to ignore what the
world owes you, and to think what
you owe the world; to put your
rights in the background and your
duties in the middle distance, and
your chances to do a little more than
your duty in the foreground; to see
that your fellow men are just as real
as you are, and try to look behind
their faces to their hearts, hungry for
joy; to own that probably the only
good reason for your existence is not
what you are going to get out of life,
but what you are going to give life
to close your book of complaints
against the universe, and look around
FOR a place where you can sow few
seeds of happiness-are you willing
to do these things even for day.
Then you can keep Christmas.
Are you willing to stoOp down and
consider the needs and the desires OF
little children; to remember the weak
ness and loneliness of people who are
growing old; to stop asking whether
your friends love you, and ask your
self whether you love them enough to
bear in mind the things that other
people have to bear on their hearts
to try to understand what those who
live In the same house with you really
want, without waiting for them to tell
you; to trim your lamp so, that 1t will
give more light and less smoke, and to
carry it in front so that your shadow
will fall behind you; to make grave
for your ugly thoughts and garden
for your kindly feelings, with the gate
Open-are you willing to do these
things even for day2 Then you car
keep Christmas.
Are you willing to believe that lows
is the strongest thing in the world
stronger than hate, stronger than evil
stronger than death-and that thC
blessed life which began in Bethlehem
nineteen hundred years ago Is the
image and brightness Of the etena
love? Then you can keep Christmas
And If you can keep it for day, why
not always? But you can never keeE
it alone.-Dr. Henry Van Dyke.

Twelve thousand boys and girls in

this publication will be we'll received

MUST REGISTER BEFORE
DECEMBER 81 OR LOSE
VOTE FOR NEXT TWO YEARS

According to a new ruling, both
men and women must have paid their
1920 and 1921 poll taxes in order to
be able to vote during the next two
years.
Women'e Clubs throughout the state
are busy getting the women to pay
their poll taxes and register for the
franchise.
December 3 is the last day to pay
these poll taxes, By special ruling,
those who have not paid their 1920
poll taxes may do SO when paying the
1921 taxes, but it must be done before
December 81, 1921.
Because of this ruling, it is antici.
pated that many voters will be dis
franchised for the next two years.
