DR.. Matthews Case.

The circuit court of appeals. sitting at st.
Paul, has decided that DR.. Walter Matthey of
Davenport, who was convicted in federal court
more than two years ago on a charge of vio-
lating the espionage act, must serve his sem
tence of a year and a day in prison DR.. Mat
they was one of a group of Davenport citizens
whose activities during the war were the sub
iect of considerable criticism on the score of
disloyalty. His sentence carried a fine of 81, 900
in addition to the prison term.
DR.. Matthey has enjoyed two stays of SEN
tence. AS in the case of A. c. Townley Nom
Partisan league ehiefain, and others who have
been convicted under espionage and sedition
laws, DR.. Matthey has taken advantage of
every available technically of the law to delay
his punishment after conviction. He has used
the machinery of the courts and no bar has
been placed in his way to prevent their use.
He has not been prosecuted by officials and
he has not been denied any OF his rights in
court,
This is a most convincing commentary on
the oft-repeated criticism of the law of the
land-that it is not impartial and not fair.
Men who are accused of setting at naught the
fundamental law are given every opportunity
to prove their innocence. They are able to
gain long delays. They are given every CON
lator of the law can expect. The law is the
same to every citizen. The courts are fair and
their Interpretation of the law is based on
justice between men. Enemies of government
are enabled to use the machinery Of the laws
which are maintained by the very government
they seek to condemn.

of having aided in bringing a new factory 10

The Fourth avenue property on which the
new factory is to be erected is owned by Amoo

title will be vested in a committee of that or
ganization. 1t is likely that when the garment
factory is completed the remainder of the land
will be occupied with another large building
suited to the needs or other concerns that may
be induced to locate in Rock Island.
The local Chamber of Commerce could bring
other business enterprises to Rock Island on
short notice were suitable accommodations
available here. Factories are drifting away
from the crowded centers for various reasons,
and Rock Island can get its share Of these
prizes if it prepares to take care of them. Hence
an important work of the Chamber of Com
merce in the next year will be in promoting the
erection Of factory buildings. The Chamber of
Commerce is TO be congratulated on its latest
successful stroke. Bringing the garment fac
tory to Rock Island is proof that Rock Island
is a favored locality and that all that is neces-
sary for local capital to do is to provide build
ings in which these outside concerns can do
business.
There also has been a revival of the Rock
Island hotel project. Outside interests are ne
gotiating with the local hotel committee and
are said to have offered to proceed with the
erection of a hotel if certain conditions
are met. Rock island people are in
terested only in seeing the city given a
hotel that will hold its own with those in our
neighboring cities of Davenport and Moline. If
local capital does not care to invest in such an
enterprise it is time that outside capital should
be encouraged to take advantage of the field.
for there is acknowledgedly a splendid field in
Rock Island for a. modern fire-proof hotel
Rock Island is the center of the four cities, and
with adequate modern hotel facilities would
attract the major share of the transient travel
in the community.

Answer.-They depend in many
cases on distortion of the loot from
wearing narrow shoes or pointed
shoes or both. Paint the callHs each
right for two or three weeks il
necessary witt this corn-softening
liquid:
S~aIicyIic acid $50 grains

When the callus is on the center
of the ball of the foot. where there
| should be a crease, it is usually a
sign of broken down transverse
| arch, and it is advisable not only
to wear suitably broad soled and
broad toed shoes, but to wear a pad
CT felt at least one-eighth inch in
thickness, two inches long, one
inch wide, lengthwise on the ball
of the foot, or have the shoemaker
place in the sole of the shoe a
leather pad.

Answer-Hare lip and cleft palate
should be operated on at the earli-
est possible moment in infancy, as

seems as vigorous as it is likely to

suit. Your little girl can be oper-

improved. But do not postpone

Building Red Blood.

Du1LutA1S AEE0 1ANGHH
I am saddened, this beautiful 10
vember day, my dear frierds, by
news frem California Where the
nuts thrive.
An elaborate research to deter
mine whether any measurable eff
feet is produced upon the blood by
any form of iron used as medicine.
has been conducted at the George
Williams Hooper foundation for
Medied Research in the University
of California medical school, by DR..
George II. Whipple, of San Fran
and his associates. They
found that BIaud's pills - real
Rlaud's pills, and not the usual
IL soluble Jumps of ancient lineage
sold ready made-are inert when
given under the most favorable con-
ditions. They found that citrate
of iron is also without any meas
uraxe effect insofar as regener-
aNng blood or building blood is
concerned. They thoroughly test
ed other old favorites, but conclud-
ed that no drug can compare with
suitable dietary provision in the
blood building business.
This leaves a Lot of us practical

cines. But we're used to being left
in the air. We always manage 10

time to rescue at least a few good
patients.
In order to stave off a rain of
letters about the dietary provisions
alluded to, let me say that the fol-
lowing foods furnish all the iron
the human blood can use:
Raisins, grapes, onions, prunes,
lettuce, spinach. peas, oatmeal, egg
yolks, almonds, apples, (eaten with
