Drinking of Water
(BY v. NJ. PIERCE, M. d.

The general conclusions of the latest
Medical Scientists proves that drinking
plenty of pure water both between
meals and with ones meals is beneficial
to health. For great many years it
was the erroneous opinion of many
medical men and the public generally
that the habit of drinking water with
the food was harmful to digestion. 1t
has now been proven by means of the
X-rays and actual tests upon many
healthy young men that the drinking of
large amounts of water s0ith meals is
often beneficial. Therefore if you want
to keep healthy drink plenty of pure
water mot ice water), both with
your meals and between meals. If you
ever suffer from backache, lumbago, rheu-
matism, or any Of the symptoms of
kidney trouble such as deep colored
urine, sediment in urine, getting out of
bed at night frequently and other trouble
some effects, take little Anuric before
meals. These Anuric Tablets can be
obtained at almost any drug store.

ROTATION LEASES.
National Crop Improvement Service.

National Crop Improvement ServIee.1
There is nothing which endangers
America so much today as our very
much abused farm tenant system. We
ought to have something in every
lease which will protect land and pro-
tect the people as well as posterity.
Year to year tenants who scratch a
little and move away, should be com.
PEELED to settle down and landlords
should be be compelled to make a
time rotation lease. 1t is easy to talk
about compelling this and compelling
that but we mostly are very sloppy
people whose motto is "the easiest
way is the best"
If we let our soil run down, our
whole structure will fall. In order to
obtain larger yield of grain, this soil
must be fed. The colleges and expert.
ment stations beyond the Mississippi
river are entirely too timid about
preaching soil conservation. In fact,
all of us are rather prone to tell our
audience what we think they would
rather hear.
