REAL CAUSE OF HIGH PRICES

In almost every state in the union
there is general movement to as.
certain the cause of increased cost OF
living. Legislatures are passing
resolutions calling for investigation
Well-meaning but short-sighted en-
-thusiasts urged boycotts of certain
articles of food to force lower prices.
This is waste of time, and utter
nonsense. The cause of high prices
and the means of lowering them are
no secret.
The cost of living in the United
States is high because the republic
can protective tariff, the tariff de-
vised by Senator Aldrich and ap-
proved by President Taft, enables
capitalists to monopolize production
and fix prices at extraordinarily high
standard.
Just as long as people tolerate
high tariff they must expect to pay
the piper. The moment they insist
on low tariff the burden will be
lightened
The place to protest is at Wash
ington. and the man to whom to pro-
test is President Taft, who harbors
the delusion that the American peo-
pie are satisfied with the Aldrich-
Taft tariff, and will tamely submit
to continued extortion for the bene-
fit of the big eastern tariff barons.

THEY GROW HAIR.
Certain Ingredients If Properly
Combined, Stimulate Human
Hair Growth,

Resorcin is one of the most eff
fective germ destroyers ever discov-
cred. Beta-napthol is most power
full, yet absolutely safe germicide
and antiseptic, which prevents devel-
opment of germ matter, and creates
a clean, healthy condition.
Pilocarpine, although not a color
ing matter or dye, is an ingredient
well established for it's power to
restore natural color to human hair.
Borax, because of it's we'll defined
softening and cleansing properties,
is most useful in the treatment of
scalp and hair diseases. Glycerine
acts as stimulant to the hair bulbs,
and has soothing, healing and
nourishing influence. Alcohol is in
dispensable in medicine because of
its antiseptic, stimulating and pre-
sentative qualities.
Rexall 1913" Hair Tonic is chiefly
composed of these ingredients, which
are compounded in peculiar form,
and we believe it is the most effective
remedy known to medical science for
scalp and hair troubles generally.
We personally guarantee it to eradi-
cate dandruff and scalp irritations
and to grow hair, even though the
scalp in spots is bare of hair, provid-
ing of course there is life and vitality
remaining in the hair roots.
We want every one troubled with
scalp disease, dandruff or loss of
hair, to try Rexall "93'' Hair Tonic.
If it does not remove dandruff and
promote a growth of hair to the
satisfaction of the user, we will with
out question or bubble return every
cent paid us for it. This guarantee
is printed on every package. 1t has
effected most satisfactory results in
SO out of 100 cases where put to a
practical test.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is entirely
unlike and in every particular diff
ferent from anything else we know
of for the purpose for which It is
recommended. We urge you to try
it at our entire risk. Certainly we
could offer no better guarantee. Two
sizes, SO cents and $780, Sold in
Leon only at our store,-The Rexall
Store. Bell & Robinson.

HIGH HOG PRICES.

Hogs sold for nine dollars a hun
dred the other day in Chicago.
If one could shake and awaken
some of the old settlers of this and
adjoining states to shout that state
ment into their ears they would be
excusable were they to insist on get
ting out of their graves long enough
to raise and sell at least one herd.
Imagine the establishment that
would spread over the countenance
of those old pioneers who butchered
and dressed hogs, hauled them to
Galena or Dubuque when the lead
mines were in their glory, sold the
home satisfied, when some one
spoke of liveweight hogs at SO a
hundred weight! However, those
old fellows didn't need the money as
this generation, and 200 pound
hog paid for an acre of farm land in
those days. one of those acres for
which their grandsons are refusing
5000.
This price of SO is a record. Hogs
never sold SO high in January before,
at least not since the high prices pro-
duced by the civil war. Statistics
CLEANED from livestock paper show
that in February, 1893,the top
reached 1918, but the January price
was not as high as now, the best
then selling at $40. In the memor-
able year of 1882, when hogs in
September sold up to 1895, the
January top was $7.3o. Producers,
therefore, are going into the new
year with prospects more favorable
than in any other year in the history
of the business. From every quarter
comes report of a scarcity of swine
while it is we'll known fact that
the stocks of cured meats on hand
are far below par.
Even if the present level of hog
prices can only be maintained, val
ues are plenty high enough to make
farmers a big profit on their feed
Some years ago farmers were salts
fed with SIS and figured they were
getting good prices for their corn at
that. Not longer ago than 1896
hogs sold at $4.45 in January, and
IN the summer of that year lots of
droves were put up at SO and under,
down to $40. Corn that year sold
at 2O@35 cents. so of course it did
not cost so much to fatten the hogs,
Another low year was 1879, when
many hogs were secured by packers
at $2.75@ $500. Hogs did not
make much profit that year, for corn
was quoted during the year at 500
so -Marshalltown Times-Re-

AT glance Of the situation" the
Carroll Herald would suggest that
the state would lose little by substi-
tuting for Governor Carroll any of
the accomplished gentlemen men
toned tor the place; and there are
many qualified persons in the field
for attorney general. If Mr.. Prouty
should retire Captain Hull the shock
would not be uncomfortable, but on
the other hand for Walter /. Smith
to be beaten by Mr.. Byers would not
be SO commendable.'
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1910-01-27

AS we understand it Governor
Carroll will have opposition in the
coming primaries whether from the
progressives or not. Captain Rath-
bun announced two years ago that
he would be a candidate in 1870"
recalls the Mt Vernon Record, "and
we presume he is standingpat."

Not all the pleasure in being a
congressman is derived from settling
postoffice contests" says the Cedar

the congressman would kick if all
postmasters were placed under civil
service rules?"

Easily Prepared and inexpensive and
Really Does the Work, Says
Noted Authority.

Thousands of men and women who
have felt the sting and torture of that
dread disease, Rheumatism, which Is
no respecter Of age, persons, SCI,
color or rank, will be interested to
know that it Is one Of the easiest az
fictions of the human body to con-
quer. Medical science has proven 1t
not a distinct disease in itself, but a
symptom caused by inactive kidneys.
rheumatism Is uric acid in the blood
and other waste products of the sys-
TEN which should be filtered and
strained out In the form Of urine. The
function of the kidneys is to sift these
poisons and acids out and keep the
blood clean and pure. The kidneys
however, are of spongelike substance,
the holes Or pores of which Will some
times, either from overwork, cold or
exposure become clogged, and failing
in their function Of eliminating these
poisons from tie blood, they remain
In the veins, decomDose and settling
about the joints and muscles, cause
the untold suffering and pain Of rheu-
matism and backache, often producing
complications of bladder and urinary
disease, and general weakness.
The following simple prescription IS
said to relieve the worst cases Of
rheumatism because of it's direct &C
ton upon the blood and kidneys, re-
lieving, too, the most severe forms of
bladder and urinary troubles: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking we'll in a bot
tie and take in te%asroonful doses after
each meal and at bedtime. The in
gradients a be had from any pre-
scription pharmacy. and are absolutely
harmless and safe to use at any time.
