individual citizen is of necessity so
 occupied with his own affairs that he
 must entrust the collective business to his chosen representative selected for that purpose; the latter because only in that way can democratic gov ernment be wisely and efficiently con-
 ducted.
 "The least government that is con- sistent with the proper doing of those things which must be done collec-
 lively, the better; the more the indi-
 vidual citizen is permitted to expand,
 develop his character and his energy and his talent without hampering re- strictions, the better. Under such
 system the local affairs should be
 left absolutely to local management;
 those which have been confided to the
 state governments should be left
 there, and those which were lodged in the federal government should be
 fully exercised by it. Each in it's
 sphere should be strong, self-suffi-
 cient, and proud and able to bear it's own burdens and solve it's own prob
 lems. If one of such entities is per
 mitted to intrude upon the sphere of
 another, it saps the strength of the latter, produce confusion, and tends
 to weaken the whole structure. Our nation is like one great human body
 composed of various parts, each of
 which not only performs it's own func- tion but likewise contributes to the strength and efficiency of the whole We are thus citizens with local
 powers and responsibilities, state powers and responsibilities and na- tionaI powers ana responsibilities; and we can and should measure up to our full stature in each respect.

Rheumasalts Brings
 Quick Relief

Indigestion is beaten! The misery of poor health due to poor digestion is over for those who know Rheumasalts. the wonderful effervescent drink.
 No more sour stomach, gripping pains, rumbling of bowels and trembling limbs - nothing but desire to eat what you want when you want it-without any kick back
 Your health depends largely upon what you eat and how it is digested. Undi- gested, fermenting. purifying food is one of the greatest handicaps your body has. And it is all unnecessary, if you let Rheu- masalts help you.
 If you are bothered with indigestion, ask your druggist for about five ounces of Rheumasalts; take two teaspoonfuls in 1Z glass of water before breakfast each morning and in a few days you will be able to digest your food in perfect man. ner.
