BETTER THAN CALOhEL
Thousands Have Discovered DE-
Edwards Olive Tablets nre
Harmless Substitute.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the
substitute for calomel-are a mild
but sure laxative and their effect
on the liver is almost instantane-
Gus Those little olive colored
tablets are the result OF DR.. Ed
wards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with
calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't in
jure the teeth like strong liquids
or calomeI. They take hold of the
trouble and quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense of
the teeth? Calomel sometimes
plays havoc with the gums. So do
strong liquids. 1t is best not to
take calomel. Let DR.. Edwards

BANKERS CLEAR UP
ERROR ON LIBERTY
BOND QUOTATIONS

Rock Island bankers state that
many who have liberty bonds which
they wish to dispose of in denom-
nations of $50 or 500. fall into the
error of demanding that the New
York quotations on $1,000 liberties
be paid them on their smaller is
sues.
For instance if the bonds are
quoted at $10092, they htink they
are to be paid $100.92 for a 500
bond, or half that sum on a $50
bond, not realizing that the quota
ton is made on $1,000 bonds. Bank
es, handling the smaller demonina-
ton bond, make deductions from
the seller for registration and sim
liar expense attached to the sale
so that few bonds may be cashed at
the New York quotation.

Experience When Car Stalls
Truck is Demolished.
Especial Moline Service

Leaping from a truck that was
stalled on the tracks of the Rock
Island lines at Fifteenth street, Mo

was driving; NJ. Beal, H. Beal,
Merle Kroner, A. Longfeld. Isador
DeSmet, c.. Devoss and Julius Va

them was hurt. They were return
ing from the arsenal, where they
are employed in razing a barracks
which has been purchased by a
number of East Moline business
men.
Barney Gamble, who was on duty
as crossing policeman, said that he
signalled for Speck to cross the
tracks ahead of the freight train.
There was plenty of time as the
head Of the train at that time was at
Thirteenth street, according to Mr..
Gamble. The truck proceeded as
far as. the tracks and stalled there.
Gamble called to the men in the ma
chine to get out and push the truck
off the track They finally jumped,
but it was then too late to attempt
to save the truck and its load.
The policeman then attempted to
flag down the train, but to no avail.
The train was in charge of Engi-
neer H. E. Peterson and Fireman B.
Suhenard, both of Peoria.

Mr.. Huntoon saying significantly
that courtesy and Cooperation :
would be the keynotes of his adj
ministration. The election was by

ing candidates.
Samuel Burgess and Willard A.
Schaeffer devoted brief addresses
/. to the Business Outlook, A. b.
DuVon, who was scheduled to
speak on the same topic, being I'M
able TO fill his engagement.
Mr. Burgess said that the farm
ers were feeling fine on account of
recent price advances, and that
steel, the barometer of trade, had
made 10 per cent advance April 1.
There is an encouraging increase,
he said, in the total number of the
unemployed and the relations be-
tween foreign exchange and Amer
lean money are being stabilized.
Willard A. Schaeffer, president
Of the Spoon River Colliery COM
pany at Ellisville, operating a mine
about so miles from Rock Island,
discussed the coal situation.
He took exception to an Argus
editorial, March 20, having partic-
ular reference, he explained to
statement that "the average years
wage of the miners last year was
certainly starvation wage. Char
acterizing the general tone of the
editorial as fairly expressing the
impressions prevailing among those
who had not a first hand knowledge
of the cuestio nat issue, he pre-
scented figures published by the Illi-
nois Coal Operators association for
the period Jan. Ills, 1922, to refute
the editorial.
These figures quoted the average
earnings of miners during that
period at s79.36.
EliisYiIle Wages.
At his own mines he said, during
the first two weeks OF March last,
the miners earned an average Of
$109.23. One man on contract
job made $235, another $212, and
another 500 In that period, he af-
frmed, and last year one miner
made $4,000. He submitted that
these were no starvation wages.
Mr.. Schaeffer said that the union
lied mines at Brownsville, Pa, pay
ing miners $3.50 day, the tonnage
pay being s1.0S q ton, could not
. compete with the non-union mines
at Rice Landing, Pa, which paid
miners $375 a day and 50 cents a
ton for tonnage. AS a consequence
the Brownsville mines had the
union scale, but nothing else to
speak OF, he said, the Rice Landing
mines running keeping at work,
and the Brownsville mines being
idle.
In response tc queries he said
that the rate paid miners III Hi
nois average $3.50 a day, all the
mines in the state being unionizad.
There are 30 per cent more miners
employed i'll the entire country
than is needed he affirmed
