Mr. w. q. Burt, of this place. has re-
quested the writer to urge the resi-
dents of this entire section to at once
give in their orders for seed wheat, if
they expect to plant an acreage to that
crop during the coming fall or spring.
If sufficient orders can be secured to
justify it. lie expects to order car
load of seed wheat. To comply with
Government regulations. not less than
1000 bushels of wheat must comprise Il
car load. Hence. the reader will see
that it is important that those who
once. List your order now, so that the
planting of wheat throughout the par
isll may to that extent be encouraged
and also to help insure the bringing in
of the needed seed. 1t is, of course,
unnecessary to urge this as war
measure. 1t should follow even were

As has twice before been stated in
the Banner. Mr.. Burt expects to put in
a Touring mill in Benton. This will in

in the entire parish.
We make gratuitOus mention of this
matter to encourage the growth of
wheat in Bossier Parish. and for the
further reason that Mr.. Burt has stat

Rushing Gum Springs;
"HO0verizing" Water

Written for last weeks issue.l
During the present unusually dry
season there has been drive on
Gum Springs, near town. and ass many
as fifteen wagons have been seen
standing in line waiting chance to
fill their barrels. Some of these
wagons come from as far as Vance
vile. Others come from farms else
where OH the river. This water fam
inc is caused by the lack of rain, and
Also by the closing of some Of the
springs and wells to public use. When
water was more plentiful these
sources were free, and all person had
to do was to back up his wagon and
fill his barrels. Now. the owners of
the springs are Hooverizing." or have
fenced them in their pastures for their
stock. This shortage may be a lesson
to others to put up cisterns or dig for
water.

who delivered an address on the
"Safeguarded Ministry" before the
Baptist ministers conference yester-
day in the First Baptist Church.

in this respect must impress the
world with the Importance of giving
our young men the right kind of

Aside from what the grace of God
does for a man, ministers are literal

seminaries young men are brought
in contact with this German brand

GUT OUT MEATS
IF KIDNEYS ARE
TROUBLING YOU.
Uric Acid in meat excites Kid
neys and Irritates the
Bladder.
Noted Authority says we must
flush Kidneys with Salts
if Back hurts.

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says
a well-known authority. who warns
us to be constantly on guard against
kidney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to
free the blood of this irritating acid,
but become weak from the over
work; they get sluggish the elimina-
tive tissues clog and thus the waste
is retained in the blood to poison
the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead. and you have
singing pains in the back or the
urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or
the bladder Is irritable, obliging you
to seek relief during the night; when
you have severe headaches nervous
and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid
stomach or rheumatism in bad
weather, get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
tablespoonful in glass of water
| before breakfast each morning and
| in a few days your kidneys will act
| fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
used for generations to flush and
stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu-
traliZe the acids in urine so 1t is
no longer a source of irritation, thus
ending urinary and bladder disor-
| ders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful ef-
fervescent lithia-water drink, and
nobody can make a mistake by TAX
ing a little occasionally to keep the
kidneys clean and active.

BUSY BUSINESS MEN
Science Helps Them Out After Reck.
leSSly Abusing the Stomach

The most reckless man in regard to
health is the busy businessman. At
noon he rushes out for a bite to eat.
He bolts his food without proper masti-
cation, and heaps on his stomach an
extra burden greater than it is able
to carry without breaking down.
His overworked stomach is crying
for help; it appeals to him for relief
in various ways: Expulsion of sour
gas. waterbrash. sour taste in mouth
heaviness after eating, shortness of
breath, bad breath, etc.
One Mi-o-na tablet taken with or
after each meal will help any sufferer
from dyspepsia wonderfully. 1t aids
the stomach in the work of digestion
which it must perform.
Mi-o-na tablets are sold by H. G.
Kennedy with a rigid guarantee to
overcome dyspepsia and all stomach
troubles, or money back. They make
eating a pleasure.
Mi-o-na cleanses and purifies the
stomach and bowels and puts vigor
and strength into the overworked tis-
sues. 1t is the surest stomach tonic
in the world.
