The DRINKING of Water

The general conclusions Of the latest
medical scientists proves that drink
ing of plenty of pure water both be-
tween meals and with ones meals is
! beneficial to health. It has also been
proven by means of the X-rays and
actual tests upon many healthy young
men that the drinking of water with
meals is not harmful to digestion.
Those suffering from a catarrhal con-
dition of the stomach will find benefit
in adding about 10 grains (one-sixth
of a level teaspoonfuD of taking-soda
to a pint Of hot water, drinking 1t a
half hour before each meal. Such as
are inclined to hyper-acidity should
drink a pint Of medium cold water,

Alfonso, King of
Spain Buys Four
Willys-Knights
Ruler Pays Tribute to American
Manufacturing Su-
premacy.

A highest compliment to Amer
lean manufacturing supremacy was
paid recently by Alfonso. King OF
Spain, when he ordered four
Willys-Knight cars-two touring
cars and two Observation-Disclosures
the European headquarters of the
Willys-Overland company OF To
ledo, O.
This order is all the moro
notable because OF the fact that
King Alfonso ordered one WHY'S
Overland touring car last spring
through his ambassador at Wash
ington. This car, especially equip
ped with wire wheels, was for
warded to him last April
Reports from Madrid after the
car had been delivered indicated
that his Spanish Majesty was
highly pleased with his new pur-
chase.
Yet no official word was receiv-
ed until the arrival the other day
Of the cablegram from the Europ-
can headquarters of the company,
ordering four more four-cylinder
WHY'S Knights, to be dispatched at
the very earliest opportunity.
This royal Endorsement Of the
Knight-motored car manufactured
by the Willys-Overland Company
can be taken as supreme triumph
for American builders Of knight
sleeve-valve motors. Such large
single order means, without doubt.
that King Alfonso considers the
KnightInotored car. as made in
Toledo, O.. at least the equal In
accomplishments Of the renowned
Daimler, Panhard, Mercedes. Min

knight cars that sell from $4,000

down on them" that they "sat" too
hard and that the roads must be
treated fairly. A freight rate fence
which has been built around Iowa
must be torn down and this state
given her opportunities to expand

Should Stay In State.
In some sections of the state, it
was pointed our, people have the
wrong idea. For instance, many sell
their farms, or businesses and go else
where to live and raise crops or
manufacture, when 1t could be done
to better advantage in this state.
Some of the Guest truck gardens IN
the country are right here; better
corn, wheat, oats, livestock. fruits,
ETC., are grown here than other
places and there is no need to 90
west. south or southwest for such
purposes. The work which the Great
er Iowa association aims to perform
might be likened to what the national
chamber of commerce is to the coun-
try, as bothsanord means OF working
together for the best results.
Iowa should not be permitted TO
lag behind nature and Iowa SOIL
should not be permitted to be robbed.
One of the best moves in the state
is that concerning the county agent,
and in this. connection it might Re
said that the reople should recognize
the enormous value of the State A..:1'
cultural college at Ames which turns
out hundreds Of graduates who are
sought by every other state in the
union and even in foreign lands.
Iowa is known as "Billion-Dollir
state, but with advertising and
proper spirit 1T should become a
"twenty billion dollar state" ard
this could be accomplished by CIV
ing to the world what the state ia

patronage of hone industry, of Iowa
products, the cons ervation of the soil.
