Buy a
Liberty
Bond

The United States is the
richest, strongest Country in
the world, and it is not asking
anybody, not even its own
Citizens to give it money.
It wants to BORROW your
money. 1t will pay it back
with good interest.
There does not exist in the
entire world, a security SO safe
as United States Government
Bonds.
For thirty-eight years, the
United States has never issued
Bond at a higher interest
rate than four per cent. The
last issue above four per cent
was in 1879.
Four per cent Bonds of the
Government in ordinary times,
have sold at ia to 11o.
A one thousand dollar
($1,0 OO) bond of the United
States Government could be
sold through these thirty-eight
years at anywhere from one
thousand one-hundred forty
dollars ($1140) to one thousand
one hundred ninety dollars
($1,190).
That's the kind of a Country
the United States is.
There is only one thing in
the world better than actual
gold or gold certificates and
that is the United States Gov
eminent Bond.
If you have the gold or the
paper money hidden away, it
brings you in nothing.
If you have 4 per cent bonds
running twenty-five years, the
interest you will get in that
time will be equal to the full
amount of the bonds. And you
still have the bonds that the
government will pay off at full
face value in gold.
No state, city, county or even
the government itself can tax
YOU on these bonds unless you
own more than $1,000 worth.

stand the vital Importance of keeping
the kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink

ter before breakfast each morning for
few days and your kidneys will 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 clean and stim-
ulate clogged kidneys; also to neutral
ize the acids in urine so it no longer
