3 bandit Dec. "a, has marked
chances for recovery. Mr.. Selle,
who with his brother Louis, con-
ducted the. Seile Bros grocery

BURLINGTON TO
PROVIDE PENSION
Fifty Rock Island Employees Affect
ed by New SJstem-Provis-
ions of Plan.

At least SO Rock Island employees
of the Burlington road will come
under the new pension plan which
became operative with the new
wear on the Burlington road. The
plan is of the company's own de-
Tising and introduced of its own
volition.
F. A. Riddell, freight agent Of
the company in Rock Island. and
Hugh L. Crawford, division freight
agent, are loud in their praises of
the system as one of the most ben
eficial things ever done by the
company. They state that none of
the Rock Island employees is eli
gible yet to avail themselves of the
retirement provisions of the pen
sion plan.
One of the chief merits of the sys-
TEN is that all employees will know
that on reaching the age of 20 years
they will be retired, and can if they
wish, be retired five years earlier.
knowing these things in advance,
they can arrange their financial
matters accordingly. it is stated.
So far as this division is con-
cerned, applications for pensions
will be made to superintendent Full
Ter of Galesburg, and will be passed
along to a board which administers
the system
The members of the board are H.
r. Stafford, vice president; E. P.
Bracken, operating vice president;
w. r. Thiehoff, general manager OF
lines west; r. A. Torrey, general
superintendent of motive power;
H. W. Johnson, auditor, and j. n.
Redfern, secretary.
Under the rules it is possible for
man between 65 and 20 years old
to apply for a pension. He must
submit to a physical examination,
and if the result shows he is not
able to continue working, the PEN
sion board is informed. Retire
ment is compulsory at 20 with the
provision that if a physical exam
nation shows the applicant is still
sound. the board can order his re-
tention
The central feature of the sys-
tenn is that the monthly pension al
lowance is based on the average
monthly wages received for 10
years preceding retirement, and
shall be one per cent of that
amount for each year of continu-
Gus service.
In no case, however, shall the al

P. J. Carlson, business agent for
the various carpenters unions. who
was nominated at the meeting In
December against Mr.. Jacobson for
the presidency, told The Argus that
he intends to withdraw from race.
Mr. Carlson said that while he
would consider 1t great honor to
head the central labor group. he is
not seeking the office and does not
intend to make the race. He said
that he was thankful to his friends
for nominating him, but that M
will not oppose the reelection OF
Mr.. jacobson.
Little could be learned whether
efforts were being made to bring
about changes in the other govern
ing officers of the federation. That
there will be opposition to incumb-
ents of lesser offices is assured. but
this is not to be carried out in wave
of radical changes, it is indicated
from the talk of various bodies of
union men.

THE GNOTHER OF MEDICINR.-

Isis, the queen and afterwards
the goddess, was called the Moth
er of Medicine" In ancient Egypt.
centuries before Christ, women were
skilled in medicine. They knew the
great value OF medicinal plants.
Hippocrates, the Father OF Medi-
cine" many centuries later. knew
less of the merit of vegetable drugs
than did the women of ancient
times.
Lydia E. Pinkham, nearly fifty
years ago, gave to women her Veg
etable Compound, now known eY-
erywhere as Lydia. E. Pinkham' S
Vegetable Compound. This is a
