THE LESSON OF HISTORY.
TDes Moines Register.l


II is well to keep cool in cmer-
gencies, and take time enough to re-
count some Of the lessons of history
before committing ourselves 10 the no
ton that America will profit from u
Roman dictatorship. The Register has
gone as far as any newspaper OF re
publican antecedents and affiliations 10
encourage the notion of presidential!
leadership. The Register has pointed
out that the president announces the
party program, it is on that program
that ne is elected, it naturally falls IN
him to lead. But presidential leader
ship. with congress assuming its full
snare OF responsibility for what is
done Is very different thing from
personal rule with congress left our
Of It.
Some OF these days the American
people will realize that the part IL
congress must be magnified here just
as It has been in England. Congress
sional initiative and leadership must
rot be minimized It has been dis
tnct loss TO popular democracy that
congress has asserted so little leader
ship in recent times. We re going too
far already in our worship Of the one
man idea. A one man government Will
be just as dangerous for US as it has
been for everybody else We have
helped the rest of the world to get
away from autocracy. Why should we
because Of little furry over arming

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

THE man who IN a time Of excite
ment stands out for the parliamentary
system, who demands that the voice
of the people be heard thru their rep
resentatives. when some popular leader
is calling upon everybody to follow
him, always chooses a thankless role,
and one bur little applauded," says the
Des Moines Register. The most hated
men IN England are those who have
stood fast for the supremacy of the
house Of commons. and frequently
those who denounced them most
roundly We're those who protited most

X-Ray Installed

DR.. w. B. Thomason has in
stalled in his Office in the Profess

which he used at Jackson a num-
ber of years. In addition to his
general practice there, he used the
machine for X-Ray examinations
and also successfully for the
treatment chronic cases such as
nervousness, rheumatism, ecze-
ma and all skin diseases. In con-
nection with his general practice
here, he will employ the machine
for the examination of wounds,
broken bones and other affected
parts of the body and for treat
ment of nervous affections, rheu-
matism, and all skin diseases.
Electricity is being used very ex-
tensively these days for the treat.
ment of many diseases, as well as
for the location of foreign SUBJ
stances. For the first time Tues
day afternoon we witnessed the
operation of an X Ray when DR..
Toomer's patient, Mr.. Cobb, had
his arm examined under it. The
arm had been broken in two
places while cranking a Ford.
The X-Ray made the broken
parts visible and the defects TO-
Gated by the physician.
1t has been necessary hereto

be made.

as many branches of sports as 'hes
wish for a period of two years, ana
they may carry their activities into the

granted by the commission. The four
major sports at Princeton which come
under the provision of the new rule are

DRUGS EXCITE YOUR
KIDNEYS, USE SALTS
If your Back hurts or Bladder
bothers, drink lots Of
water.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the Kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with n mild harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urlnous waste and
stimulates them to their normal ac-
tivity. The function OF the kidneys
is to filter the blood. In "a hours
they strain from it 500 grains of acid
and waste. SO we can readily under
stand the vital importance OF keeping
the kidneys active.
Drink lots of water--you can't drink
too much: also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts:
take q tablespoonful in n glass OF
water before breakfast each morning
fer n 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
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer is a source Of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot In
jure; makes delightful effervescent
lithia water drinks which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of your kidney trouble and
