was able to report offerings re-
ceived.
At Trinity Episcopal church PIG

TO ONE-MAN CAR
Conductor Of Third Avenue and
Stephens Park Collects Fares
at Front End.

EtiQuet of the one-man car was
taught Rock Island and Moline
public this morning in its first les
son by the Tri-City Railway com
pany.
A small class took the first les
son, patrons of the Third avenue
and Stephens park car lines in the
two cities. The conductor on both
lines was placed in the front end
with the motorman, and patrons
used the front entrance and paid
the fare there.
This arrangement will be used on
the Third avenue and Stephens
park car lines for a while. and at
later date will be installed on
other lines. Greeting the eyes of
the patrons of the one-man cars
was a new sign, Cooperation,
which replaced the other. "Cour-
tesy."
All other lines will probably have
the same placards when the new
street car system is instituted.

EXTEND TIME !

ernmeSt Insurance.

Formal action has been taken by
the United States veterans bureau
to permit ex-service men who have
allowed their war risk insurance
policies to lapse, to reinstate them

months premiums on the amount
of insurance he wishes TO rein
state.
II the insurance has lapsed for
more than three months, it will be
necessary for MIN to submit the re-
port of a full medical examination
in addition to his statement testi-
flying to his good health, and to pay
two months Premiums on the
amount of insurance he wishes TO
reinstate.
Free Of Expense.
Where a medical examination is
required for reinstatement OF
lapsed insurance, such examination,
at the request OF the applicant, may
be made by authorized medical Of
ficers or examiners of the U. S. Vet
Grams bureau or the u. s. Public
Health service detailed to the U. s.

made by such officers when in the
discretion of the director or dis

deemed necessary, without expense
to the applicant.

What To Do For Influenza.

Rest, warmth and quiet are the
three most potent remidies for this
disease and the best preventive of
its resulting in any serious conse-
quences. Go to bed as soon as the
first symptoms of the disease appear.
Stay in bed until all danger Of a
relapse has passed. When you get up
too soon and have a relapse pneu-
monia is liable to follow. Take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy when
needed to keep the cough loose and
expectoration easy. Keep your bow
els regular. Drink plenty Of water
Eat lightly Of meats but as much as
you crave Of bread, butter. cereals
and vegetables. Observe these direc
tions carefully and you are likely
to recovere quickly. got

SDON, March 1.-THE pre-

is based on the theory that Bunar

There has been much objection to
some Of Lloyd Georges policies
among the "old Ruard" couserva-

macy hold them In line.
