Same Old Story.

Normally, when wheat reaches
a dollar, it is freely sold. But
let there come a possibility of
considerably higher price for
wheat, and back into the garner
it goes. When wheat passed the
dollar mark this fall there was
much offered for sale. But, since
wheat has risen to Sill, Frank
lin county warehouse men, and
millers, say that there is very
little wheat being offered for
sale. The old, old gambling spirit
will not down. The rule is that
thousands of bushels of this stor-
ed wheat will eventually be sold
at great loss.

LONDON STORk LOSES 500
PER WEEK-WAR TO BLAME

London, July 8.-Births in London
are averaging nearly 500 week be-
low the figures for the corresponding
week in previous years allowing foA
the growth in population. Mortality
tables show that children have been
dying at the rs e of 200 a week in
excess of the old average.
Official returns dealing with nearly
a hundred of the largest towns and
cities in England and Wales show
corresponding decreases, most OF
which are chargeable to the war.
The increase in deaths is explain
ed by the fact that infants are get
ting less care. There are fewer doc
tors and nurses in civil life and they
are oyerworked. Other adverse con-
ditions are the increased use Of mar
ried women in industrial employment
and the breaking up of many homes
by the war.

BIG EATERS GET
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take a glass of Salts before breakfast
If your Back hurts or Bladder
bothers you.

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trouble
because we eat too much and al our food
is rich. Our blood is filled with uric
acid which the kidneys strive to filter
out, they weaken from overwork, become
sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and
the result is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness and general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps of
lead; your back hurts or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with sick
headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or you have rheumatism when
the weather is bai, get FROM your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in 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 and stimulate clogged kidneys;
to neutralize the acids in the urine so ii
no longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder disorders.

Woman suffrage is no longer an ex-
pertinent in Colorado.
Is any one so foolish as to say that
if women vote they must work the
roads? In the rite of motherhood,
God gave woman a work vastly greater
than anything than can be achieved by
manual labor. Woman has no desire
to shirk this duty The great heart
cry of every true woman is to become
a better wife and mothre. The bal
lot will not unsex her, neither will it
act as a panacea for all the ills and
mistakes of our legislative bodies.
When that time comes, as it surely
will, bills will be passed and again
repealed just as they were when men
held the franchise alone. Given the
ballot, woman will ask for wisdom,
as did Solomon and she will grow in
knowledge and truth.
She will become no less gentle, no
less a loving wife and mother. In the
terrible war now in progress, men are
doing their work with carbine and

The Suffrage Question.

Editor Leader: Some few weeks ago
an article was contributed by some
one to The Leader denouncing woman
suffrage. We have waited patiently
all these days, for some one to answer
that article, but it is still unanswered.
And so it becomes our duty to sit up
and speak out. The article in question
stated that the real test of citizenship
was to be able to support a family Is
il possible that the writer never knew
woman who by her own efforts, un-
guided by any man, has clothed, fed
and educated a family of children?
We have known many.
Is there anything in entering the
booth and marking a ballot that will
weaken woman or unfit her in any
way for the great work for which the
Creator prepared her? No, indeed.
