everything IN your power to aid, not only this nation, but France, ad the 9TH
er nations, that re playing their part in this great war. One of the most
important things to do is to raise more wheat, and every farmer should strain

u the League caucuses held on February %, Townley sent out instructions
70 ms henchmen in each precinct just how 10 conduct affairs, and from his in
trucnons 1t is very evident that he is trying to extract the last SIG from each
farmer or dlsfranchise him, so far as the League is concerned. His insuuc-
lions wee, attere ecting a chairnnan, TO have a credential committee appoint
eo mo this In Committee was to inspect each mans membership card and his re-
ceipts and if he could not show a receipt that he had paid the last SIG assess
ed by Towney, that he "a not entitled 70 participate in the caucus. Suppose
the state should levy a tax against each~voter in the state and then say to
him thai until this tax wa paid he could not take part In any caucus, how
would the farmers of the state like it? And yet this is exactly what Town.
ley has done, and while many farmers who have formerly been members of
the League aer rsenhng this action, we presume that there are a certain per-
centage of them will take it and like it. In Ramsey county the caucuses
were very poorly attended. Many townships did not have enough present to
hold a caucus, while other townships had all the way from three to a dozen
attend.

A few weeks ago Theodore Roosevelt "a invited to go over into Canada
and make some speeches, and while there he wa given a great ovation. No
halls were large enough to hold the crowds that assembled to pay their high
est respects to this great mar. But how different when William Jennings
Bryan went over to Toronto 70 make a prohibition speech. When he was in
troduced there were Kisses and "cat calls" and although he tried for several
minutes to be heard the crowd was bound that he would not make a speech,
and he had to give up in dispair The difference between the two men, s. far
as the warts concerned is that while Roosevelt has been a leader. BRYAN has
been a trailer, and the Canadian people, a S well as many Americans n dis
rusted with him.

Salts In Hot Water
Clears Pimply Skin
Says we must make kidneys
clean the blood, and PIN.
Piles disappear.

Pimples, sores and boils usually re-
suit from toxins, poisons and impuri-
ties which are generated in the bow
els and then absorbed into the blood
through the very ducts which should
absorb only nourishment to sustain
the body.
1t is the function of the kidneys to
filter impurities from the blood and
cast them out in the form of urine,
but in many instances the bowels Gre
ate more toxins and impurities than
the kidneys can eliminate, then the
blood uses the skin pores as the next
best means Of getting rid of these
impurities which often break out all
over the skin in the form of pimples.
The surest way to clear the skin
OF these eruptions, says noted au-
thority, is to get from any pharmacy
about four ounces of Jad Salts and
take tablespoonful in glass Of hot
water each morning before break
fast for one week. This will prevent
the formation of toxins in the bowels.
It also stimulates the kidneys to nor
NAL activity, thus coaxing them to i'll
ter the blood Of impurities and clear
ing the skin OF pimples.
Jad Salts Is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with lithia.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves-
cent drink which usually makes PIN
pies disappear; cleanses the blood
and is excellent for the kidneys as
