Kid yEY DISORDERS
QUICKLY RELIEVED

Hundreds OF people have been re-
lieved of the agonies caused by weak,
diseased or clogged-up kidneys by
using Solvax, the new remedy that
quickly reaches the source of all kid
ney complaints.
If you suffer with pains in your
back and sides or have any signs Of
kidney or bladder trouble such as
rheumatic pains, puffy swellings un-
der the eyes or in the feet and ankles,
IL you are nervous, tired and run
down, or bothered With urinary dis
orders, Solvax will quickly and surely
relieve you Of your misery.
Solvax is the most potent remedy
yet devised for Kidding the system OF
uric acid and driving out all the pois-
onous impurities which cause such
troubles. It neutralizes, dissolves and
makes the kidneys sift out all the
uric acid and poisons left by the
blood. and renders the kidneys and
urinary organs clean, vigorous and
healthy
Wilkinson G. Co.. the popular drug
gists, say that no medicine ought to
be paid for unless 1t does the user
some good. Wilkinson & Co. there
fore sell Solvax under a positive
guarantee to quickly relieve the worst
cases of kidney trouble or refund the
money. Try Solvax today and if you
cannot see and feel decided change
for the better just go to Wilkinson &
Co. and tell them you want your
money back and they will return it
without question This is the strong
est argument that can he offered in
behalf Of any medicine.

Dyspeptics easy
prey for many
fatal diseases
row to Get Rid Of Dyspepsia and be
Safe.


If you have Dyspepsia your food is
only partly digested. Probably you
cannot eat as much and as many kinds
of food as your system really needs.
Insufficient quantity and variety Of
food impairs the action of the stom-
ach, liver and intestines. When these
organs are not operating normally
the blood becomes impure. When the
blood is allowed to remain impure for
q considerable time, the whole system
becomes weakened. This weakening
run down" condition comes on so
gradually that most people don't real
lie their condition until they are in
really dangerous shape. 1t is this
run down condition that makes peo-
pie very susceptible to sudden attacks
of typhoid fever, pneumonia, pleurisy
and many other diseases. Tho old,
maxim about IAN ounce of prevention"
applies with great force to this sub
ject 1t is the simplest matter in the
world to prevent or overcome ordinary

dissolved in quarter OF a glass of
water, after each meal. People trying
this simple acid neutralizer for the
first time, are amazed by the instant
relief and the quick restoration OF

sure to get bisurated magnesia as
other forms of magnesia are not suit
able. Any druggist can supply you.

The Pity OF it all.

Burlington Gazette: News was re-
ceived in Burlington yesterday of the
death Of Alfred Hochstetter, formerly
of Burlington. on the battle grounds
of Poland. He was just twenty-three
years old and together with his broth
er, Ulrich, came to this country few
years ago to cast his. lot here with tn
hope Of making his fortune. Both
young men had been commissioned
officers in Germany, Alfred in the
navy, Ulrich in the army. Soon afte'
the outbreak OF hostilities, U1rich re.
signed his position in st. Louis and
went to Germany. where he joined his
old regiment. He met his death in
France in October, after winning the
iron cross for conspicuous bravery.
Alfred left Burlington in January an
took his brothers place in the army.
Now both are dead, killed on the
battlefield. Both were exceotionallr
bright young gentlemen and had they
lived would have had notable careers
Their death again calls attention CT
Burlington to the fact that the nations
engaged in this war are SACRIFICING
the very flower of their young men in
their insane desire for supremacy.

CREDIT DUE TO WooLLEY
AZ Chairman Of Building Committee
and Later Taking Architects
Place, He Gave Freely Of
His own Time.

ja The school board at IT'S session last
night, on Recommendation of the
, building committee, accepted the new
! Jefferson and new Garfield school, re-
ceiyed the reports OF the building COM
mittee which was discharged, having
finished It's work, and also received a
report from r. A. Dollery, inspector.
The report Of the building committee
showed that the construction of the
two new buildings and of the addition
/ to the Lincoln was done at total
cost Of $93,312ss. The bond issue
asked for was sos, 900, showing that
! on actual cost of construction alone,
the board was inside the bond issue
by $1,7O0. The cost Of grading and
sidewalks, which was absolutely neces-
sary, and the cost of equipment for
/ the three buildings brought the total
cost to $99, 367.87. This was little
more than $4,000 over the bond issue,
and stands as q record. Other bond
issues have been exceeded by $4,000
! to $4,000.

sponsibility II The Garfield building
