DROUGHT DID NOT
INJURE THIS CORN
Fred D. Newberry Has Some Fine
Samples from Field Which was
Not Cultivated After Planting.

There was some corn in Lee coun-
ty which was not effected by the
drouth this summer, If the samples
brought to Keokuk yesterday by F. D.
Newberry Of near Argyle can be tals'
en- as a criterion. Mr.. Newberry hao
travelling bag full Of corn, and the
ears measured all the way from 13 to
Is inches and two Of the lot together
weighed more than four pounds.
The peculiar part about this corn
display is that the field from which
it was harvester was not cultivated
after it was planted. The field OF.
which it was grown is near Sugar
Creek on some land which IS known
to be fertile. Mr. Newberry planted
the corn in the spring and then did
not cultivate it after planting
This fact coupled with the severe
drought which prevailed all summer
naturally makes ones eyes open wild

ing ears which We're brought In yes

ache and misery in the kidney region;
rheumatic twinges, severe headaches,
acid stomach, constipation, torpid Nv
er. sleeplessress, bladder and urinary
irritation
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right, Or if blad-
der bothers you, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any good
pharmacy: take a tablespoonful in q
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts Is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush
clogged kidneys and stimulate thea
to normal activity; also to neutralize
the acids in the urine so 1t no longer
irritates. thus ending blaGder disor-
ders.
