The people here do not drink

claimed well known authority.
The numerous cases Of kidney and
bladder diseases and rheumatism are
mainly due to the fact that the drink

water wagon If you are really sick,

To cure Rheumatism you must make
the kidneys do their work; they are
the filters of the blood. They must
be made to strain out of the blood the
waste matter and acids that cause
rheumatism; the urine must be neu-
tralized so it will no longer be a source
of irritation to the bladder, and, most
of all you must keep these acids from
forming in the stomach This is the
cause OF stomach trouble and poor di-

can do no better than take the follow

GARDNER TO COACH DUPONT
Will be the Kentucky College the First of September

William ]. Gardner, the Chippewa
Indian who has been playing ball in
Devils Lake all this summer, left this
week for GAINESVILLE, Mimi, where he
will coach the high school football
team of that city until the first of
September and then will go to Louis
vile, Kentucky, where he has been en-
gagged to act as coach for Dupont COL
lege. Some time ago the Inter-Ocean
had an article stating that Gardner
might be selected as head coach of the
University of North Dakota, but the
position of assistant coach was offered
him and this he refused as the offer
at Kentucky Is a far better one and
will put Mr.. Gardner in line for one
of the large colleges in the near fu-
ture should he decide to remain in

Mr.. Gardeners career will be watch

tact with him in the last few years.
