Riley's Honey.
rooners

l. have been selling honey all sum-
mer in Decatur, Iova, and will be
selling it all fall and winter. ! have
not yet sold two sections alike in fin
ish. II the bees made two thousand
sections of honey, no two would be
alike any more than two men would
be alike in appearance. So no human
process can come in and rake the
bees off the map. Ny bees ripen
their honey by the tanning oe .heir
wings, which evaporatcs the water
out of it. Then 6 chemical change
takes place by the action of these
wonderful chemists in changing the
nectar into delicious honey We all
crave Tor c:.ndy and sugar, and it
seems we need it in cur diet. But by
eating too mucn it is harmful to the
kidneys, stomach and the digestive
organs in general This is not the
case with honey, you can eat all you
wish of it, and your digestive machin-
cry will not be overtaxed with sweet
ness, and will go long way toward
keeping you in a healthy condition.
If you want to live as long as you
can, and as healthy as you can be,
do away with eating too much candy
and sugar, and eat m.re of c.. r.
Riley's honey. l assure you that
there will be less practice for the doc
tors. Please call at Decatur in per-
son, by letter or phone, and your or
ders will have my immediate otten-
tion for comb or extracted honey.

IDLE HOUR SPECIALS.
Kathlyn Williams in ''Into the Primi-
tive'' Friday, and Robert War
wick in "Sudden Riches
Monday.

The special bill for Friday at the
Idle Hour theatre is Unto the Primf-
tive" with the charming actress
Kathlyn Williams supported by Guy
Oliver and Harry Lonsdale in this
great five act drama of jungle life.
Into the Primitive is a Selig Red
Seal play, packed with punch, power
and appeal.
In prehistoric days, the cave"mnn
chose his mate by brute force. In
Unto the Primitive" the cave-man
the veneer of civilization dimmed,
defends Jennie Leslie from cow
ard; from hunger-maddened jungle
beasts; from herself.
And in the end-woman's intui-
ton discovers the strength, the re-
sourcefulness, the kindness, the
passionate, but honest love of the
cave-man-not the love she had ex-
pected from the Hon. Cecil Win
thrope, who invariably protested 10y
atty, always promised protection, but
who proved a weakling! The girl
looked deeply into the cave-man's
eyes. 81 love you," she whispered. II
love you too,' exclaimed the cave
man as he gathered the woman's
lovely form into his mighty arms and
held her closely.
On Monday comes Robert War
wick, the eminent dramatic artist in
Sudden Riches" a photoplay of dis
1nguishing inspiration, dealing with
a vital modern problem.
The story of Sudden Riches"
deals with a legacy of hate. Old Abb
ner Crewe, miser and recluse, wills
his great fortune to his nephew, Rob-
ert, in a spirit of revenge. He counts
on the sudden wealth to wreck the
young mans life. Robert, his young
wife and baby are perfectly happy
until old Abner's millions fall at
their feet. What follows bears out
the old misers prophecy. The sud.
den riches lead them straight toward
destruction. In the end, Robert re-
deems himself by a great act; and
the influence of parental love urges
the young couple to a reconciliation.
Matinees for both plays at
o'clock, first evening shows at 7:15.
Prices 10 and Is cents.

Know A. b. Garretson.

There are many people in Leon
who will remember A. B. Garretson,
formerly of Osceola, now chairman
of the Order of Railway Conductors,
who has been the main stay of the
railway employees in their fight for
an eight hour day. Years ago Mr..
Garretson resided at Osceola, and
was a conductor on the Burlington
road, but for many years he has de-
voted all his time to his official duties
with the Conductors Brotherhood.
He was a brother of Mrs. William
Creighton, resident of Leon for
many years, and during her. life was
a frequent visitor in this city. He
now resides at Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Wouldn't Big Light on the Water
Tower Look Fine?

Ever since the water tower was
erected we have heard talk OF how
nice a big electric light would look
burning at the top of the tower. 1t
could be seen for many miles in ev-
cry direction from Leon, and would
be mighty good advertisement for
the city. The Leon Electric Co.,
through Manager E. Jacobsen has
very generously offered to donate the
expense of wiring the tower and in
statling the light, If the city will pay
TO: this extra light. It. would be
something of general benefit, and the
city council will strike popular
chord by ordering light installed at

Some Record as a Gunner.

c. r. Riley of Decatur, just receiv-
ed word that his son Earl w. Kiley,
Decatur City's postmaster, who is
with the Atlantic fleet on the civilian
cruise has been made first gunner on
the 3 inch guns, the largest calibre
used in this target practice. The
target was towed knots an hour,
1850 yards from the battleship, and
the battleship steamed parallel at 10
knots an hour. Each pointer was
allowed four shots. After making
four hits with his four shots, Earl
was permitted to continue and sue
ceeded in making. 10 hits out of 16
shots ind as it was termed, simply
tore the target to pieces.
Just such men as this at the guns
of Uncle Sans battleships is what
makes the gun record of our navy as
it is, the best in the world.
