WHAT A JEWELRY FIRM Did
They Invested Some of Their
Spare Money in Canadian
Lands.

S. Joseph & Sons, of Des Moines,
Iowa, are looked,upon as being shrewd,
careful business men. Having some
spare money on hand, and looking for
a suitable investment, they decided to
purchase Canadian lands, and farm it.
With the assistance Of the Canadian
Government Agent, at Des Moines,
Iowa, they made selection near Cham
>pion, Alberta. They put 240 acres Of
land in wheat, and in writing to Mr..
Hewitt, the Canadian Government
Agent at Des Moines, one Of the MEM
bers of the firm says:
II have much pleasure in advising
you that on our farm five miles east
Of Champion, In the Province Of Al
berta, Canada, this year (1916 we har-
vested and threshed 10000 bushels Of
wheat from 240 acres, this being an
average of A bushels and 10 pounds
to the acre. A considerable portion
of the wheat was No. l Northern,
worth at Champion approximately
S1.S5 per bushel, making total return
Of $19,610, or an average of $S1.70 per
acre gross yields. Needless to say, we
are extremely well pleased with our
lands"
1t might not be uninteresting to read
the report of G. A. Wright of Milo,
Iowa, who bought 100 acres at Cham
plon, Alberta, for $1,000 in December,
1915. He stubbled in the whole lot OF
it, and threshed 4,487 bushels Grade
No. Northern.
Mr.. Wright, being a thorough busl-
ness man, gives the cost of work, and
the amount realized. These figures
show that after paying for his land
and cost of operation he had S2,472.67

URIC ACID IN MEAT
 CLOGS THE KIDNEYS
Take . glass of Salts if your Back hurts or Bladder bothers you-Drink
 more water.

If you must have your meat every day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says a noted authority who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paralyzes the kidneys in their ef- forts to expel it from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with 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 time during the night.
 To neutralize these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste get four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy here; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid 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 irritatea thus ending bladder weakness.

Transportation for Lady

Ladysmith Chamber Of Commerce
received information w dnes d V
morning that the Adjutant Generals
office was forwarding transportation
to it for the use of three delegates
from the Home Guard of this city who
were to represent the guard at the
meeting of all similar organizations at
Milwaukee ON Thursday.
At the meeting of Ladysmith Home
Guard held at the training school
Tuesday evening Capt. Galloway,
Lieut.. AL Skinner and Sergeant G. NJ.
Householder who also represents the
Chamber Of Commerce as one of it's
directors. were selected to represent
the local company at the meeting and
left Wednesday evening to attend.
Effort has been repeatedly made to
secure some recognition for the local
company from the state but up to date
has not been able to convince the state
authorities of the necessity. Appeal
was made to the Chamber of Com
merce with the result that the trans
portati0n was secured and the repre-
Sentatives will make decided effort
to secure the proper recognition OF the
organization. The meeting at Mil
waukee was for the officers and dele
gates of the guard companies already
recognized. The statement that the
Cornell company had been recognized
has been found to be premature. 1t
was so stated in the Cornell Courier
and the Chippewa Falls Herald but the
company there is in the same position
as the one at Ladysmith.
Forty men were at the meeting
Tuesday evening and the subject of at
tendance at drills and other matters
were discussed.
