Plain Talks on Fertilizers
How to Get the Greatest Possible Yield per Acre

1t is a well-knowa
scientific fact that in
order to produce the
very greatest possible
yield from any soil it
must contain an actual
excess over and above
all demands that can
possibly be made on it
by the plants.

THE PENALTY OF OVERWORK.

Work has been mans lot since the
creation, but day of toll should not
have its penalty of pain. Why is it,
then, you ask, that backache so often
follows? 1t is because the modern
tendency is to overwork, to tear
down faster than nature can rebuild.
An unnatural strain is thrown upon
the vital organs, and more especially
upon the kidneys, which have the
work of filtering the blood free of
waste and poison.
The heavy tax of overwork-the
strain upon the back that is so com
mon to many trades and occupations,
is too great. The kidneys begin to
fail in their. work, and there is
double danger to health. The poison
GUS matter collects in the system, and
the kidneys themselves begin TO
break down.
Pain in the back is only warning
of trouble in the Kidneys. An infam-
nation has set in, and a disordered
condition of the urine soon becomes
apparent.
Too much or too little urine, with
constant desire to void the secre-
lions: any noticeable deviation from
the normal color; the appearance of

like most of the people of his race, he
has fair complexion, with blond hair,

named after Dom Manuel the For

of the most prosperous epochs in the
history of the country.

was not true. He got through great
amount of work each day. He devot-

then wrote till 2 in the morning, when

He was always up and at his desk

The Republicans declared that King

than Louis XVI. of France Rioting
continued at various points in Portu-
gal all summer and was kept alive by
the newspapers that We're in favor of a

newspapers were suppressed for de-

demanding republic. Senior Lima,
the editor of the Lisbon paper Van
guard, wrote that there would either
be peaceful revolution if the king

Changed Their Mind.

About the time that Leon and Davis
City filed their petitions with the state
railway commission asking that the Des
Moines-Van Vert train service be ex-
tended to Leon and Davis City, Lamont
was asked to join in the movement and
file petition but for some reason they
declined to do SO, and the result was
that when the service was ordered
established it was only to Davis City,
the train running down as far as Togo
junction in the evening and then com
ing back to Davis City where they lay
over night. Last week Lamont got
busy and sent Dan Anderson and c. E.
Blair to Des Moines to appear before
the commissioners on Friday at the
same time Mt. Ayr was given a hear
ing, the people of Lamont having con-
cluded that they wanted the new train
pretty badly. Quite number we're
present from Kellerton and Mt. Ayr,
and the commissioners at the hearing
intimated that they would order the
service extended at least as far as La
moni and will probably order it as far
as Mt. Ayr. The commissioners go to
Chicago this week for further con.
sultation with the Burlington officials
over the matter.

A Swell Market.

Penniwell Bros. on Monday evening
moved into their swell new meat mar
ket just south of The Reporter Office
and the boys have one of the finest and
most beautiful markets in the state, and
certainly it's equal can not be found in
any city the size Of Leon. The building
was designed specially for market
being of pressed brick with modern
plate glass front and vestibule entrance
The building is fireproof throughout,
the floor in front of the big cooling room
being of tile and the balance OF the
room having cement floor. An art
steel ceiling and nobby electric light
fixtures add to the beauty of the room.
All of the fixtures in the market are
bran new and of the latest design, the
big cooling room being of golden oak
and plate glass, the counter beautiful
swelled front carved oak with Italian
marble top, nickel plated meat racks,
new computing scales and meat slicer
which is wonderful invention, slicing
bacon and meat in any thickness and
exactly even throughout. The cooling
room was manufactured specially for
them and is of the latest approved de-
sign the cooling arrangement being per-
feet and it has capacity of more than
four times that of their old cooler. The
boys justly feel proud of their new
market and it is credit to them as
we'll as the CITY.
