nent Iowa judges will be speakers to-
night at the annual bar banquet to be

Mexican Bound 0yer-Joe Galindo,
the Mexican who was arrested last
week on charge of carrying conceal
ed weapons, was bound over to the
grand jury at the preliminary hearing
held in the court of Magistrate Claus
sen. The man plead not guilty. When
Galindo was brought into the police
station on the night of his arrest, his
clothes were searched. A big So
Caribre revolver, with every chamber
loaded and d knife with blade half
foot long, that opened with a light
pressure on spring were found
While it could not be proved by the
police that Galindo was cunning"
for anyone in particular, the mere fact
that he had the weapons in his
clothes was enough to have him held
to the grand jury. His bonds we're
set at $3.50, and in default of bonds
men, he is being held in the county
| Jail.

Col. George c. Wright tells-th fol-
lowing on saloonkeeper named Nc
Dermott:
McDermott was a very generous
man, and they say he would 'set 'em
up" about as often as anybody else.
One day a crowd had collected, and
one man, a German, ordered drinks.
McDermott followed suit and the
customer reciprocated. Then he start
ed out, and as he did so he queried,
'Das list allies recht?"
Now. McDermott's education in Ger
man had been neglected in County
Mayo. About all he knew in that
language was YAH" so he said 1t
enthusiastically.
When he was gone McDermott be-
moaned the fact that his customer had
not paid, and was informed that he
had told the man that it was "all
right"
Mac made few more inquiries and
learned the opposite of Yah" Here
after it is 'nein' for me-" said he.-St.

Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
Drink glass of real hot water
before breakfast to wash
out poisons.

Life is not merely to live, but to
live well, eat well, digest well, work
we'll, sleep well, look well. What a
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it is if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as daisy
by opening the sluices Of the. system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink glass OF real hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the en-
tire alimentary tract before putting
more food into the stomach. The &C
ton of hot water and limestone phos-
plate On an empty stomach is wonder
fully invigorating. 1t cleans out all the
sour lamentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one a splendid ap-
petite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water and
phosphate is quietly extracting large
volume of water from the blood and
getting ready for thorough flushing
Of all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble, rheumatism; others
who have sallow skins, blood disor-
ders and sickly compilations are urged
to get quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from any store that handles
drugs which will cost very little, but
is sufficient to make anyone pro-
nounced crank on the subject of in
ternal sanitation.-Adv.

Finally I concluded that I owed 1t

a package and carefully followed the

A GLASS OF SALTS WILL
END KIDNEY BACKACHE
Says Drugs Excite Kidneys and Rec
ommends Only Salts, Particularly
II Bladder BotherS You.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with a mild, harmless salts which re.
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ.
ity. The function of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any phaTma.
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take 2 tablespoonful in glass Of
water before breakfast each morning
for few days and your kidneys will
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 clean and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot IN
lure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking
and no doubt you will wonder WnaI
