MOLINE MENTION
Creditors of J. W. Warr holding;
patent notes to the amount of $40,
O00 have decided' to tile these notes as
claims in bankruptcy to participate in
the- dividend recently ordered. The
prosiH'cts now are that a settlement
of 10 cents on the dollar is the most
that the creditors will be able to se
cure. The filing of these notes is said
to indicate the aband-onment by the
holders of hope of holding the building-
and loan association liable for
them, an;! their desire to realize as
much as possible from the claims. All
the; holders of patent notes have not
taken this action, for there are many
who propose to fight to the last ditch
on the score of the liability of the
association. With some $40,000 in
notes transferred, to the bankruptcy,
there is still outstanding- something
like $G0,000 in notes of similar form.
When Ton Have a Cold.
The first action when you have a
cold should be to relieve the lungs.
This is best accomplished by Ihe free
use of Chamberlain's Cough Bemedy.
This remedy liquefies the tough mu
cous and causes its expulsion from
the air cells of Ihe lungs, produces a
free expectoration, and opens the se
cretions. A complete cure soon fol
lows. This remedy will cure a severe
cold in less time than any other
treatment and it leaves the system in
a natural and healthy condition. It
coimieract s any tendency toward
pneumonia. For sale by all drug-gists.

Read the new and revised price list for family washing at the American
Laundry. Some of the best families in the city are taking advantage of
this as the price is no more than what the coal, soap and starch will cost,
not considering the usual slush and steam on wash days
Good Morning Mam :
Say! Arc you the man that runs the American
Laundry ?
Yes mam.
My name is Mrs. Hunt.
Where do you live Mrs Hunt?
I live on street, and the reason I asked you
was I heard you were doing the ironing down
there Free of Charge.
Yes, Mrs. Hunt we are.
You must do some for me then. You know I
am always hunting for the best of everything.
Well I am glad I met you Mrs. Hunt, as we do
the best and cheapest work of any Laundry in the
west.
I have so much of it though that I hate to ask
you to do it all Free of Charge.
You need not be in any way delicate in sending
all you have. The more the merrier, Mrs. Hunt.
All right. I will wasli them tomorrow and
send the day after.
But you. must tell them to be careful not to tear
them, as I have had those sheets and table covers
since I got married and you could not get any
thing like them nowdays.
How long are you married, Mrs. Hunt?
It will be 34 years this coming Spring.
I see, Mrs. Hunt, the like of them is pretty
scarce, and they need careful handling. Now, Mrs.
Hunt I hope you don't do as Mrs. Finger did last
week.
What is that?
Well, she sent us 5 dozen sheets, 3 dozen table
covers, 2 dozen towels, 7 dozen napkins, and I don't
know how many lace curtains and bed spreads,
and she was so awful kind to us that she washed
them all herself and telephoned to us at 1 o'clock
in the forenoon to come after them at once as she
wanted them back at 3 o'clock that afternoon. To
be sure to mark oh the list Free of Cha.rg. as she
did not want to have any words with that driver.
Where does Mrs. Finger live?
She keeps a boarding house and restaurant on
street.
And didn't you iron them for her?
Wcll,we like work all right enough, Mrs. Hunt,
and we like a little glory too; but we thought this
was a little too much of both to keep time with
our appetite.
Well then what must I do to get my Hat work
ironed Free of Charge?
Send everything you want in the wash same as
it you were doing it jourself. Dresses, Aprons,
Shirts, underwear your flat work included all
washed nice and clean, rough dry for 5 cents per
pound, starched and all. Now comes your tree
ironing- No matter how much of it. Ifc will be
nicely roned and folded for the same price. Or in
other words, we only charge for the washing of it.
Oh! Now I see. You charge for the. washing of the flat work,
but vou iron it FliKK OF CJIAKOFV
Now, 1 see you understand it-Mrs. Hunt.
Hut supposing I want it done by the piece according to jour
rough-dry price list. Can I have it?
Certainly. I will print that rough dry price lit here for your in
spection, and you can take your choice by the piece i r by the pound.
Your flat work will be ironed in either case Fit KM OF CHAKCJ K. We
have both telephones and three wagons, and we promise yon that one
or the other will be at your house one hour after you telephone us.
Now I understand it better. You know I told' you in the begin
ning that I hnted to ask you to do it FKKK OF CHAbM;!:. That- is
cheap enough. I would not do like Mrs. Finger, anyhow. Send one
of your wagons around in the morning, as I will not have any more
w ashing done in the house while I can get it done that cheap. And I
will tell my sister .Tane and my sister Peggie and all my friends about
it, too. v.
Thank you. Mrs. Hunt. Hut you mu.-t fell them not to s-end the
flat work alone for those prices, but end all they have of it. I don't
care how much with the family wash and not have any bundles less
than cents worth.
AM right, good day.
Cood day, Mrs. Hunt.
