A strong effort to have the famous
I; Liberty Bell, which proclaimed the
news of the adoption Of the Declare
ton of independence on July 4. 1776,
pass thru this city on its way to the
Panama Pacific exposition at San
Francisco, is being made by Secre-

! Club, as we'll as other commercial clubs
| along the Northwestern road. The bell
will leave Philadelphia, where 1t is
kept in independence hall, on July %
and be sent over one Of the most direct
| routes to the coast
Secretary Johnson sent telegram
! to Mayor Rudolph Blankenburg, OF
! Philadelphia, asking that the bell be
routed over the Northwestern. in order
that the people of Marshalltown Nigh,
see the famous relic. A letter was re-
| ceived in answer to the wire from the
mayors secretary. saying that thou
! sands of similar requests had been re-
[ ceived. and that the city had not yet
] decided over what road the bell would
be sent from Chicago. The Rock Is
land lines are making strong bid
urging that the bell would be seen by
more people if sent over that route
! than any other. The Northwestern is
basing its solicitation for the bell or
/ the fact that quickness and directness
| of route would be achieved over its
road better than over any other.
! There was considerab BILE discussion In
Philadelphia over the advisability OF
sending the bell on the long trip, and
many were against it. The last time
! the bell was rung was at the funera
of Chief Justice Marshall. and at this
| time the crack in the bell wideneo
perceptibly. The custodian OF the bel
announced at that time that If the

NOT TO BE CAUGHT MAPPING
Uncle lobe Lived Up to His Reputa-

His Bet.

There lives In a certain Vermont
town quaint old character known
as Uncle Tobe," who Is SO con-
SENTATIVE of action and speech that 1t
is almost difficult at times to get any
thing definite from him. Uncle lobe,
like the Father of His Country, has the
reputation of never having told a lie,
and in addition he is SO cautious OF
statement that he has never been
known to tell an innocent untruth.
On one occasion his doctor, in con-
versation with friends touching Uncle
Tobe's characteristics, ventured to lay
a bet of five dollars that he could cause
Uncle lobe to tell what wasn't SO. A
neighbor promptly took the bet
The doctor walked into Uncle Tobe's
house next morning, and while he was
talking with the old man, the neighbor
who had taken the bet drove up to the
gate. Uncle lobe went to see what he
wanted, and then the doctor, as he had
agreed to do, went out the back door
and hid in the barn.
Good morning, Tobe," said the Wis
itor, lis the doctor in your house"
HE was there when | came out

DESTROY THE DESTROYER.

In his book, MANS Value to Soci-
ety." Rev. DR.. Newell Dwight Hills
says: "Statisticians reckon the aver
age mans value at 5000 year.. Each
worker in wood, iron or brass stands
for an engine or industrial plant worth
100000, producing at 6 per cent, an
income of 5000. The death of the av-
erage workman, therefore, is equiva-
lent to the destruction of $4,000
mill or engine. The economic loss
through the non-productivity Of 10000
drunkards is equal to one Chicago fire,
involving 5000, 100000"
This does not take into account the
cost of the crime and pauperism
which 10000 drunkards entail npoh
the public, nor the degeneracy of
drunkards' offspring which adds enor-
mously to the economic loss through
nonproductivity and direct criminal
ity. BY the license system this nation
is deliberately destroying each year
its chief assets. The liquor traffic
must go!

Ammunition Used in War.

How much ammunition does a mod
ern army use? We shall not know
until after the war what the German
and the allied forces have been ex-
pending; but we know what the Ger
mans used in 1901. The total for
rifles was SO,OOO,OOO cartridges. for
field artillery 100000 rounds. 1t is
worth noting that battles are much
less costly in ammunition than sieges.
The siege of Strassburg alone cost,
weight for weight, three times the
amount of ammunition used in all the
decisive battles and actions through
out the whole war. OF course these
figures are a mere bagatelle CON-
pared with those of the present strug-
gle, with it's millions of soldiers and
its quick-fring guns and its week-long
battles.-Mancheste Guardian.

TAKE SALTS TO FLUSH
KIDNEYS IF BACK HURTS

Which Clogs the Kidneys and
Irritates the Bladder.

else we have backache and dull misery
in the kidney region, severe head
aches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver
acid stomach, sleeplessness and all
sorts Of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon Juice, COM
bined with lithia, and is harmless to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity. 1t also neu-
tralizes the acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending blad-
der disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean, thus avoiding serious COM
plications.

sells lots of Jad Salts TO folks who be-
