BEGIN HOT WATER
DRINKING IF YOU
DON'T FEEL RIGHT
Says glass Of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poisons.

If you wake up with bad taste, bad
breath and tongue is coated; If your
head is dull or aching; if what you eat
sours and forms gas and acid in stom'
ach, or you are bilious, constipated,
nervous, sallow and can't get feeling
Just right, begin drinking phosphated
hot water. Drink before breakfast,
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in 1t.
This will flush the poisons and toxins
from stomach, liver, kidneys and bow
els and cleanse, sweeten and purify
the entire alimentary tract. Do your
inside bathing Immediately upon arts.
ing in the morning to wash out Of the
system all the previous days poison
GUS waste, gases and sour bile before
putting more food into the stomach.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became loaded with body i'm
purities, get from your druggist or
storekeeper quarter pound Of lime
stone phosphate which is inexpensive
and almost tasteless, except for
sourish tinge which is not unpleasant.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the. skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, so hot water and lime
stone phosphate act on the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels. Men and
women who are usually constipated,
bilious, headachy or have any stomach
disorder should begin this inside bath
ing before breakfast. They are as.
sured they will become real cranks on
the subject shortly-Adv.

Bladder Is lrritated.

II you must have your meat every
day. eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says noted author
ity who tells us that meat forms uric
acid which almost paralyZes the kid
neys in their efforts to expel it from
the blood. They become sluggish and
weaken, then you suffer with a dull
misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache,
dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue
is coated and when the weather Is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush of
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces OF Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take tablespoonful in a
glass Of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts Is made
from the acids of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine, so it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in

WOLVES HARRY THE FARMS
Troops from Fort Leavenworth May
Join in Big Hunt to Drive
Out Pests.

People living in Salt Creek valley
drive north of Fort Leavenworth are
being annoyed of late by timber
wolves Many of these large wolves
crossed the river on the ice from the
Missouri bluffs since the cold weather
set in and they are hungry and bold.
Since the ground became covered
with frozen sleet rabbits have left the
timber and taken to the corn fields to
get something to eat and now that the
wolves cannot live on them they have
begun killing chickens and small stock
of the valley farmers.
The wolves are becoming so bold
that the farmers living near the edge
of the timber are afraid to send their
children out alone.
There is talk of organizing a big
hunting party in which the soldiers of
Fort Leavenworth will be asked to
join to eXterminate the pests.

About the Road Question.

Editor Leon Reporter:
l have been a reader of your paper
some time and find it to be a good
county paper, yet l have an inqulring
mind in regard to some questions.
You and | may see many things alike
and again we may differ on some
things, but the point l am getting at
is, haven't l a perfect right to my
opinion on matters that concern me
and my welfare. Doesn't this free
America give me right to express
my opinion, or in other words, to
vote my sentiments as l think best?
Why certainly it does If it didn't it
would not be free government.
Please let me express my opinion
on one or two questions. l find that
the hard surfaced road question
among number of other questions
is coming up to be decided on in the
near future and this is one of the
deepest questions that the state OF
Iowa has to contend with. Why,
says one, because it is one Of the
most expensive pieces OF improve
ments that we have to contend with,
and the point to look at is, who will
this expense fall on? Had you ever
thought of that? Well, it will large
ly fall on the farmers or land own.
ers, and they accordingly will have
to raise the rent on their renters.
But in the first place the state and
county alike would have to issue
bonds to build those roads. Would
that be good financeering? Not if |
see things right it would not. Men
who are now heads OF families would
not live to see the debt paid. 1t would
fall on the rising generation. Have
We any right to saddle debt upon
our children for them TO have to pay?
No, not one we haven't, no more
than our boys have a right to go out
and make a debt for us to pay. l
see that good level headed business
men are now considering these vital
questions, and furthermore, | see
that a number of counties in the
state of Iowa have already organized
against and are fighting the hard
surfaced road proposition, also the
state highway commission road law
and are passing resolutions to not
vote for any candidate for governor
such legislation, so coming back to
where l started out, granting that |
have right to my vote the same as
any other man on these propositions,
would say, let us farmers of Deca-
,ur county get together, call a meet
ng at Leon and organize this county,
and stand by the United Tax Payers
league. Let US hear from some one
