From her chair on the cool, rose
shaded side porch, Grandma could
see Toby coming slowly down the
road. She became greatly absorbed
in her hook. Toby lodged behind
the tall hedge, and STOPPING, crept
along behind its cover until he
came within 10 yards OF the porch
Then he tiptoed nciselessly over the
lawn to the porch steps.
10, Liza" he whispered hoarse-
ly.
My soul, Toby" exclaimed
Grandma, How you scairt me-"
The old man chuckled. He seat
ed himself on the lowest step, took
off his wide-brimmed straw hat,
and wiped his perspiring forehead
with a large, blue Bingham hand
kerchief which he took from in
side the hat.
We'll, how're you today, Liar
he asked. Hot, amt it,"
Grandma glanced apprehensively
toward the open dining room win
dow. Then she leaned down and
spoke quickly in low voice:
toby, didn't l ask you not to
come here any more for while ?
Why dSou do it?"
But don't sou like to have me
Gomez" asked the old man. in a
hurt tone.
1T isn't that, Toby. you know it
isn't. It's my granddaughter,
'Lizbeth. Since she came home
from finishin' school, you know,
her head has been filed with queer
ideas. And she thinks, Toby, that
you're not-you're-" Grandma hes

flushed.
"Oh, / know, Liza. She thinks

'sociatin' with. She, thinks I'm a
worthless old good for naught
Well. maybe haven't got the hi
falutin', polished manners she
learned at boardin' school, but
"It's that young man of hers. the
one that comes here in che big au-
tomobile, you know. An her moth

these ideas. So, of course l can't
say anything. Toby"
Him, that young Teller is Squire
Beebe's son, amt he? thought SO.
Well, if he's as shrewd at drivin'
bargains as his dad is, l don't think
she'll be dom SO bad by herself.
The sQuire's a shrewd one. He

"Say, Liza, l just dropped in to

that lovely, big Clarke place, out at
the crossways? With all the lovely
orchards, and the truck gardens,

Yep. that's the place. You see,
after old man Clarke died, the
young Teller never made it pay.

In young children, who react TO

hate to use the. misleading and in

household measures are intended
for any acute illness which may be
dubbed t'cold on the chest" One of
the good purposes served by pop

is to keep the innocent bystanders
so busy that they may not do too

The Argus did not subscribe to the prin-
eiple of prohibition when it was an issue be-
fore the people, but when prohibition became
the law OF the land The Argus accepted it as
the national will The Argus will defend that

man and institution claiming the full rights of
American citizenship.

If you entertain any doubts that there was
a vice ring In Rock Island drop into the city

During the rule Of the vice ring those stills
we're operated under full official protection.

When John Looney was directing the police
of Rock Island the only time a bootlegger, house

desired results.

Washing the Baby.

A says a Is months old baby
should be washed every day. B
says that is weakening and once or
twice asweek is enough. If A is
right, how long should the daily
bath last? MRS. b. J. II.
Answer-A is right. After the
baby acquires control over the
emunctories, a bath twice a week is
sufficient, except in hot weather,
when the kttle tikes should always
have tepid or cool bath once or
twice daily. The daily bath should
last about five minutes in winter.
