FORT ATKINSON

The bankruptcy of the Sullivan Milk
COndensery has left lot of farmers IN
the eastern part of the county in bad
way. It is said that some of them
have as much as two thousand dollars
coming to them for milk. They were
so ''easy" that they took Blumenstein's
promise for cash.
Word came Saturday from Barron,
Wis, of the death that day of A. L.
Lord, well known to many of our peo-
pie on account of his having gotten up
two different illustrated "writeups" of
Fort Atkinson. The deceased was a
genial, whole-souled kind of man who
readily made friends.
During the storm Tuesday evening
the farm home owned by Rudolph Rog-
litZ, near Milford, was struck by light
ming and totally destroyed by fire.
Neighbors saved a few household eff
fects and kept the flames from spread
ing to nearby structures. Only the
ROglitZ children were home at the time
of the fire, their parents being at Camp
Grant. About $500 worth of insurance
was carried.
Several Stoughton joy-riders landed
In town Sunday evening, filled to the
brim. Being unable to secure liquor
here, they began raising rumpus on
the bridge Shortly after they were
locked in the coop where bloody
scrap followed among the trio. A good
fine in Justice Hibbard's court proved
a wholesome lesson. No penalty can
be too strong for driving car while
in an intoxicated condition.
This community was thrown into a
turmoil of excitement Monday evening
when the story quickly spread of a
murder and attempted suicide. lnves-
tigation proved that tragedy had in
deed been enacted, costing the life Of
Mrs Jay Coullard at the hands of an
insanely jealous husband, who after
cutting his wife's throat also tried to
end his own life with a sharp pocket
knife Mrs. Coullard came to Fort
Atkinson some time ago-her husband
also was here for short time. Mrs.
Coullard found it necessary, however,
to support herself and secured employ
ment in the local knitting mills. The
husband finally took government work
and afterward detailed to the forestry
department of u. S. service at San
Francisco Here he was recently dis
charged from service for disability, it
appearing that he was most excitable
person and suffering from some ner-
vous trouble not unlike epilepsy.

The following letter was sent by MI

Immediately upon the introduction
of the fifty fifty substitute rule IN con
nection with the purchase OF flour, we
began to get certificates from doctors
asking us to make exceptions for GER

then let the family buy their flour with

by little care the ailing member can
get the flour needed from the general

STOMACH SUFFERERS
Says Indigestion Comes From an Elk
cess of HydrochIoric Acid.


A well known authority states that
stomach trouble and Indigestion are
nearly always due to acidity-acid
tomach-and not. as most folks be-
lieve, from lack Of digestive juices.
He states that an excess of hydro
chloric acid in the stomach retards
digestion and starts food fermentation,
then our meals sour like garbage in
a can, forming acrid fluids and gases.
which initiate the stomach like a toy
balloon. We then get that heavy, lumpy
feeling in the chest, we eructate sour
food, belch gas, or have heartburn, fat
ulence. waterbrash or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all-digestive
aids and, instead, get from any pharm-
acy four ounces Of Jad Salts and take
a tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast while it is effervescing,
and furthermore, to continue this for
one week. While relief follows the first
dose, it is important to neutralize the
acidity, remove the gas making lass,
start the liver, stimulate the kidneys,
and thus promote free flow Of pure
digestive juices
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid Of grapes and lemon
Juice. combined with lithia and sodium
phosphate This harmless salts is used
by thousands of people for stomach
trouble with excellent results.

Dcs ,Meines, March 2l.-lowaS farm
labor shortage is not so serious as has
been claimed. This is the opinion or
State Labor Commissioner A. L. Urlck
and his assistant, George B. Albert,
after receiving replies from 6s6 seed
corn census takers.
Seed corn census takers appointed
by Governor Harding in every school
district in the state were asked to
make inquiries as to the need of farm
laborers. Out of 6S6 of these men who
have sent in the results of their in
uuiries Albert has made an analysis
of conditions.
Shortage of labor was reported by
69.3 per cent of those replying; 22.7
per cent report that there is no addi-
tonal help needed in their neighbour
hoods: per cent report an actual de-
ficiency in the number Of men to do the
necessary farm work.
Replies Indefinite.
OF the 69.3 per cent who reported a
shortage of labor only about one-fourth
gave any definite facts as to shortage
the other ree-fourth being only gen.
eral statements The draft was given
by 122 per cent of those replying as
to the cause of the shortage. That the
shortage of help is so serious as to cut
down the acreage Of corn is the claim
of 10 per cent Of those reporting
shortage.

nothing definite as to the shortage. just
