.BA(KACHE A WARNING
ALL SHOULD HEED
It is One Of the First Signs of Kidney
Troubles, if Neglected, Serious
Diseases Follow.

No one can be well and healthy I'M
less the kidneys work properly and
keep the blood pure. When they be-
come clogged up and inactive, nature
has way of warning you.
Backache is one of the first symp-
toms. You may also be troubled
with disagreeable. annoying bladder
disorders; have attacks of lumbago or
rheumatism; become nervous, tired,
and feel all worn-out; puffy swellings
show under the eyes or in the feet
and ankles; and many other symp-
toms are noticed. If they are neglect.
ed, dropsy, diabetes, or Bright's dis
ease, which SO often prove fatal, may
result.
1t Is not only dangerous, but need
less for you to suffer and endure the
fortunes of these troubles, for the new
discovery Croxone, quickly and surely
ends all such misery.
There is no more effective remedy
known for the prompt cure of all such
troubles than this new, scientific
preparation, because II removes the
cause 1t soaks right into the kidneys,
through the walls and Innings: cleans
out the clogged up pores: neutralizes
and dissolves the poisonous uric acid
and waste matter that lodge in the
joints and muscles and cause those
terrible rheumatic pains, and makes
the kidneys filter and sift the poison
out Of the blood and drive it from the
system.
! You will find Croxone different from
| all other remedies. There is nothins
else on earth like it. 1t is SO pre-
pared that 1t Is practically impossible
to take 1t into the human system
without results.
You can secure an original package
OF Croxone at trifling cost from an,
/ frst-class drug store All druggist,
are authorized to personally return
the purchase price II Croxone shoult
fail in a single case. Three doses
day for few days Is often all that Il
ever needed to cure the worst back
ache, relieve rheumatic pains, or over
icome urinary disorders. Adv.

needs and opportunities which are

there was SO little understanding of
what constitutes a real playground
that it became recreation move

friends of the movement said, year
ago: The latest appropriation (only
I $4,000 is the last that Exville will
ever make for Fairgrounds; we have

How many Exviiles are there? AL

IOWA cREAMERIEs.

Iowa communities with well estab-
lished creameries in operation realize
that the creamery is an excellent
manufacturing establishment. Many
Iowa towns with around 1000 inhabit-
ants have creameries with annual out
puts of from $4,000 to 100000, which
show UP in heavy bank deposits, cash
business at the stores, sustained fer
tility of the farm lands and the num-
erous advantages of thrifty COM
mnnity.
Some 1920 patrons OF 504 Iowa
creameries reporting to the Iowa
state dairy department in 1912 receiv-
ed approximately $3O,000.000 for their
butter fat. This would make the an
nual income OF each patron from his
lcream alone about $685. AS matter
of fact many OF the farmers selling
cream to the creamery will make a
good deal more than that, 500 per
month and better not being at all un-
usual. With the great majority of
them this dairying is only side line.
They keep small herd of cows.
averaging according to this report
about seven cows to the patron. Gen
Ieral farming is followed by most OF
these farmers.
The total value of the cream check
represents only part of the gross in
come from the COW. inasmuch as the
skim milk, fed to the hogs, is an i'm
Iportant item. The value of the manure
in sustaining the fertility of the farm
lis another important consideration.
But the cream check shows the ready
money coming in which is such an Inn
Iportant factor in the thrift of the
community.
The report of the cooperative
creamery at st. Ansgar, Mitchell
county, for the year ending January
| 1, 1913, shows that this creamery paid
out over $4,000 last year. St Ansgar
at the time of the last census had a
population of TAI people. An $4,000
factory in a community of this size is
an important industry and this report
lis considered by our state dairy de
lpartment as fairly typical of success

Attitude Of the Farmers Toward the
Measure is Explained by F.. D.

Grange Organization.
DIDN'T SEND PETITIONS
Farmers Of the Grange Are Against
a Permanent Tax Commission
for Many Reasons Cited by
Secretary steen.
Especial to The Gate City.l

=
DIES MONIES, Iowa, March 2s.-F.
D. Steen, secretary OF the grange or
ganization of Iowa, appeared before a
joint meeting of the ways and means
committee yesterday afternoon and
settled all doubt as to the farmers at
titude toward the proposition to cre-
ate permanent tax commission by
saying that the great mass of farm
ers are unalterably opposed to 1t.
The oranges of Iowa had nothing
to do with the sending out OF the pc
titions that have come back to you
protesting against tax commission.
said Mr.. Steen. That is not our
method OF working understand,
however. that hundreds upon hun
dreds of such protests have been in
troduced and that furthermore mem
bers are holding back petitions to
know the force behind their circula.
ton. While we had nothing to do
with the petitions, | viii say tbs gen.
Element: The farmers of Iowa are not
fools. They know whass they are
signing. and my advice to the mem
bers of this legislature would be to
take every petition signed by farm
ers at its full face value

Against Commissions.
There is another reason the farm
ers Of the Grange are against per-
manent tax commission. 1t Is Great
ing machine, which though pure
enough at the beginning, is suscept-
ible of being used as a great political
machine. The grange is against all
these commissions that may become
means for furthering political power
away from the voters of tho state"
For Physical Valuation.
Mr.. Steen said the farmers are will
ing to pay their just share of taxes
and will not object to full valuation
tax when all other property is taxed
at full value. The railroads and other
corporations, he said, should be taxed
at full value. But, he maintained,
when laws are established fixing these
values the state has SUFFICIENT mach
inery with which to enforce them
He expressed his highest confidence
in the executive council as an admin,

called attention to the resolution

ers Association at its annual conven.

ton. and explained that he is mem

PASSED Good Roads Bill.

DES MONIES, Iowa, March 2S-
After turning down the amendments
proposed by Dcs Moines newspapers
to establish commission in Des
Moines and to give such state COM
mission control Of county affairs the
house yesterday afternoon passed the
good road bill by vote of 81 to IL.
But few minor amendments were
made to the measure as it passed the
senate, which it is said the senate
will concur in. The most important
of these Is one that makes members
of the state highway commission,
located by the bill at the state agri-
cultural college at Ames, subject to
the Cosson removal law. 1t Is expect
ed the senate will concur in the
amendments and the bill will reach
the governor for his signature before
the close of this week. The same
principal as to whether power shall
be given a permanent tax commission
to dictate the management of county
tax affairs. will be an issue when the
proposed revenue bill comes UP for
consideration.
