Kidney & Co.
(BY DIR. ". N. PIERCE)

y
I The, kidneys and the skin work in har-
mony. They're companions, the skin
being the second partner. If we are
anxious to keep well and preserve the
vitality of the Kidneys and, also, free the
blood from noxious elements, we must
pay special attention to a good action of
the skin and to see that the kidneys are
flushed 80 as to eliminate the poisons
can be easily clogged, and frequent ut baths a
with soap and water help to remove the
injurious products that clog the pores.
n Sweating, by hard work or in, bath,
ct least once "a week, helps to keep the
skin and kidneys in good condition. Flush
the kidneys by drinking plenty Of pure
water with meals and between meals.
Occasionally obtain at the nearest drug
store Anuric, which will help flush the
kidneys and the intestines. You will find
that Anuric is thirty-seven times more
active than lthia and that it dissolves uric
acid as hot water does sugar.

THREE KNOCKOUTS OUT
OF FOUR CONTESTS IN
IMPERIAL LAST NIGHT

At the all-star boxing contest held
in Imperial last night there were three
clean knockouts out of the four four
round contests.
The first go was between Kid
Sweeney and Lee Reese, the latter
clearly outpointing Sweeney, although
the latter was game to the end and
received considerable punishment.
George Drew fought Knockout Kel-
ly, but the latter's name was out of
place, for in the second round Kelly
went down for the count with stiff
jolt on the jaw. He came to in his
corner after Drew had left the ring,
and started fighting, imagining that
rc was still in tn eight.
Baby Blue proved the master of
frankie Daley of San Diego, the lat
ter crumpling to the canvas with a
terrific punch on the kidneys.
Danny Reed and Soldier Lilly
staged another knockout, Lilly being

JOHNSON HAS HIS CAR
RETURNED TO HIM BY
CUSTOMS OFFICERS

The United States government is
trict in dealing with offenders, but
it's aim is to be just and sometimes
justice is tempered with mercy, as is
shown in cases that come up here.
One of the latest of these is that Of
Charles A. johnson.
johnson and his wife came to the
Valley a few weeks ego, hoping the
climate here would benefit Mrs. john
sons health. Johnson himself was re-
covering from long illness, in the
course of which he had formed the
habit of using narcotics, to lessen the
Pain he suffered. They were in their
own automobile.
One day they left the machine
standing about mile north of Ca
lexico for a short time, and Inspector
in. Charge Quate and ether customs
inspectors discovered it. They searched
tic car and found smoking outfit,
a quantity of yen shee and little
vial containing tinctu'e of opium.
Johnson was arrested and the car
seized.
1t was the pleading of the fright
cred little wife, together with the rec
concentrations of number of citizens
CT Calexico for leniency, that secured
a parole for Johnson, after he had
been sentenced to 180 days in Jail.
Then the government officials relent-
cd and an order came this morning to
Inspector in Charge Quate to return
Johnson's car to him.

Now I have caught your cried the
mosquito. Since we could not catch
you at your soldier tent or in the
trenches near your hollow stump
bungalow, I thought Of this way Now
we have you and we'll bite your
and the big mosquito, who with his
bad friends had dug the hole on pur-
pose to get Uncle Wiggily in trap,
began 20 play a bugle tune on his
wings to call the other biting bugs.
"Oh, dea-l" thought Uncle Wiggily.
Il guess am caught And haven

you'll grow small just as I did when
I drank from 1t before I fell into

tie girl with long, flaxen hair. She
was holding out to him a bottle with
a tag that read:
DRINK ME-"
Gam 1 really to drink this?' asked
the bunny.
Uncle Wiggily took a long drink
from the bottle 1t tasted like lolly-
pop ice cream soda, and no sooner
had he taken a good sip than all of
a sudden he found himself shutting
up small. like a telescope. Smaller
and smaller he shrank, until he was
his own regular size. and then the
little girl took him by the paw and
cried:
Come on Now you can get out,'
And, surely enough, Uncle Wiggily
but who are your" he asked the
little girl
@Ohi I'm Alice from Wonderland, -
she said, '-and I know you very well.

ran Uncle Wiggily with Wonderland
