BULLETIN No. 20-FOR YOUR
SAFETY
By Chief of Police Hughes

From January | to August 28, 1881
persons were injured and $40 were
killed through automobile accidents.
For the corresponding period last year
1872 persons were injured and 46I
were killed.
Analysis Of above figures for this
year show an alarming increase in the
number Of accidents occurring to Pc
destrians. Here are few suggestions
that everyone should follow for his
own safety:
Be on the alert for traffic when
alighting from street cars and other
conveyances. When crossing the
street in the downtown district, cross
with traffic No matter where you
are, always cross the street at the
nearest corner.
Where automobiles or other con-
veyances are parked at the curb, do
not walk between them and attempt
to cross the street. You have no view
of the traffic coming from either di-
rection and this short cut may cost
you your life.
Extreme care and caution SHOULD Be
exercised by motorists at all times,
particularly on rainy days. Keep your
brakes in good shape, obey the lights,
and drive slowly.
Pedestrians and auto drivers must
always play safe. Aid US to prevent
this criminal slaughter Of human be-
ings. 1t is the Departments most Sc
rious problem.

"CHIcAGo'S HEALTH"
Weekly Bulletin, Chicago Department
of Health
HEALTH IS THE REAL
PROPERTY
BY Herman N. Bundesen, MD, SGD.
Commissioner

Many men have dreamed of the
perfect world. And in their dreams
they have built worlds that were full
Of health and happiness, and free from
misery and disease. One great dreamer
when he dreamed his Utopia, made
sickness the worst crime Of which a
human being could be guilty; because
Of all wealth, human life is most pre-
cious," says DR.. Herman N. Bundesen,
commissioner Of health, in his latest
bulletin.
Houses that run down do 50 be-
cause Of neglect, undue strain, or poor
building material. So it IS also with
the human house" continues DR.. Bun
desen. "The human house that is maze
Of poor material cannot weather the
storms Of everyday life. In the hui
man house, resistance to disease lies in
the strength of its material"
why not make use of the simple
health habits7 Why not have them
working for you all the time? Here
they are:
l. Proper food, in right amounts
and properly eaten.
2. Fresh air, day and night.
3. Sunshine at all times you can
get it.
4 At least eight hours Of restful
sleep every night.
5. Exercise suitable to the age.
6. The right amount Of work and
the right amount of play.

The annual ball game between the
star teams of the Chicago Post Office
was played last Sunday at Logan
Square on what is known in the Post
Office Department as Arthur c.
Lueder Day. Over three thousand
persons attended. The game was be-
tween the South Side and the West
Side teams. Players and onlookers Of
the old school recognized the ability
of the players in each Of the respec-
tive positions as teams worthy of con-
tending with any semi-professional
teams. The score resulted in South
Side 6, West Side 4. The proceeds
were for the benefit of the association
as token of athletic spirit the win
ming team was given special purse.
AT this point | desire to state that
my investigation shows sthat every
statement made in the local papers of
last week were absolutely misleading
as to the facts. There were no rea.
sons and never have been for the
slightest suspicion as to a line being
drawn in the manner described. These
statements are not made for the pur-
pose of covering up anything. They
have been made from fair and homes,

Mr., and Mrs. VIM, Taylor during said
time the Wood River Baptist Conven-
ton was in session az the Cd Baptist
Church. About one hundred and fifty
or more delegates were in attend
ance. The reports from the various

the advancement Of the work over the
previous year II was general in
spiration to the delegates assembled to
be part Of a group Of Baptist who
had lent so much effort to the adj
vancement of christian civilization
throughout their district. 1t was espe-
cially inspiring to listen to the words
OF the Rev. Walter Brooks of Wash
ington, d. c., to whom the Master
had given life and health for fourScore
years. His connection with the Metro
politan Baptist Church for the past
forty years had given him a wider
vision of the past and the opportunity
Of giving a more constructive view of
the things to be done to advance
higher moral christian civilization. He
stressed the reasons why the girls and
boys of today should be closer inter
woven with the work Of the church.
The Rev. Miller, pastor of the I'd
Baptist Church where the Association
held their sessions, is a man worthy
of acquaintance and those who visit
Rock Island should avail themselves of
the opportunity of meeting the pastor
Rev. d. G. Jones of Champaign,
Illinois, who is one Of the benehciaries
of the will Of the late Senator VIM. B.
Mckinley TO the amount of $500 per

ton. Rev. Jones was valet to the late

According to observation and keep
ing my ear close to the ground when
I returned to the headquarters in the
evening l took from the dictaphone in
my pocket some political prognosti-
cations. A tall, gray haired gentleman
from some section of Illinois quoted
from the Bible the words what you
sow you shall also reap" listening
closely | discovered that they were
talking of the come back politically in
Illinois of former Senator William
Lorimer and the pulling down Of the
curtain around the political carcass Of
him who dubbed himself the poor
Swede" Fred Lundin. At this point,
a bystander remarked that if Lorimer
would take out of the archives of his
library and read the notations he made
over a score of years ago when the
late State Treasurer, Henry Hertz,
advised him that if he advanced Lun-
din then State Senator he would only
be sealing his political doom. This
was true.
Lorimer's old friends hocked from
him and joined the new band wagon
of his time but the ex-senator kept in
mind if he walked in the straight and
narrow path the day would come when
he would reclaim his status in I'LL
nois The clock in the dial has been
set and Lorimer is sending messages
to John M Smith, Chris Manner and
Geo. B. Swift that he has been faith
full to the cause of honest political deal
ings and where they left off he has
picked up and will bring the Republi-
can organization in a solid phalanx to
fight the common enemy-the Demo
Gratis, to make a strong organization
against any and all bipartisan combi-
nations.
