any drug store and should like salts be
among the household remedial agents.
A tablespoonful of EPSON salts con-
stitutes the average dose. Too often
not enough is taken and as result
nasea and sometimes vomiting ensues.
1t should be taken in about three-quar-
tiers of glass of luke-warm water,
about one-half hour before breakfast.
IF it is not convenient to take it before
breakfast, which is the best time; 1T
should be taken on an empty stomach
at least one-half hour before meal time.
After the taking of the salts, two to
three glasses of water (hot or cold
should be drunk. This supplies the
necessary fluid for the evacuation OF
the bowels without extracting it from
the surrounding tissues, which would be
the case if the water was not supplied
by drinking.
Many people cannot take salts be-
cause of it's bitter, saline and nauseous
taste. In such instances preparation

Magnesium Citrate is prepared usual
ly in twelve ounce bottles and is sold
by most druggists. The taste is SINH
lar to that of lemonade, the contents OF
bottle is not too much for the aver
agile individual to take at one time. The
administration is similar to that OF
EPSON salts.
The oft-advertised kidney salts have
nothing on EPSON salts for efficacy in
doing the kidneys good. AS far as
flushing the kidneys is concerned, there
is nothing that equals drinking plenty
Of water, but for resting the kidneys so
that they might become stronger, there
are few drugs if any, which surpass
common EPSON salts.
If your kidneys bother you and you
want to flush them drink plenty of
water, then take dose Of EPSON salts
and notice the Improvement.

EPSON Salts.

EPSON Salts.
(Magnesia sulpras), magnesium sui,
phate.)
Though the most common drug in
use today, venture to. say it's use is
Just as commonly abused.
No household is complete without
Epson salts. It is so simple that
doubtless many Of my readers were
prone to smile when noting the subject
matter of this paper. Though plentiful,
common and apparently simple to take,
unless properly administered, may de-
feat the purpose for which it is taken.
The action of Epson salts is not con
fined to the gastro-intestinal tract-as
is commonly believed, but when proper
ly administered has general syste-
matte effect-the value OF which is
very often under estimated.
Epsome salts is the best saline purge
that we now have. We ordinarily take
EPSON salts when constipated Or after
eating something that does not agree
with us. In either case, the taking Of
it is justified.
The bowels of every individual should
be flushed at least twice a month,
whether constipated or not. 1t should,
however, be borne in mind that upon
some individuals salts has constipa-
tive after-effect, that is after the free
movements caused by the salts there is
a temporary lacking of the bowels. For
those that have noticed such to be Pc
culiar to themselves, the same can be
counteracted by the use of some vege-
table laxative or purgative such as
Elixir Cascara, one to two teaspoonful
taken the day after the free movements
of the bowels caused by the salts.
ELIXIR Cascara can be obtained at

SHOULD BE BIG CUT
Telegraph Head Says Burleson Should
Reduce Rates by Half.

New York. April 7.-Commenting
on the recent raise of telegraph rates
by Postmaster General Burleson. Will
liam j. Degan, secretary of the Postal
Telegraph company declared today
that Burleson should have reduced
rates more than one-half.
"Burleson says we. are entitled to
only $1,6S0,000 a year for the use of
our lines" began said, "altho we did
earn $4,269,000. Now, assume that is
true, then Burleson should have re-
dIced rates over one-half and should
collect only from the public what we
are entitled to earn and what he pro-
poses to pay us, namely, $1,6S0.000.
Instead of that he increases the rates
20 per cent. That 20 per cent on
$4,269. 900 is $3.50, 900, which added to
the yearly revenue makes it $5,122,-
500. In other. words, while Burleson
says we are entitled to earn only
81 $50. 600, he raised rates so that our
system automatically does earn
$5,122, 800. What is he going to do

CASE TO FEDERAL COURT
Usage County Drainage Suit To Be
Pressed by the NJ p

The federal court will decide on the
merits Of the case in which the drain
age board of district No. 1, Usage
county, is asking S72,552 from the
Missouri Pacific railroad as its share
of, the expense of the organization of
the drainage district, according to the
act of the legislature ofr1911.
The railroad protested against this
assessment as unfair and unconstitu-
tional and that the order of the board,
for this reason, is void. 1t is charged
that by the order of the drainage
board, the railroads were paying ap-
.proximately one-third the cost of the
organization and that it was really the
farmers who were being benefited.
The case was appealed from the board
to the district court of Usage county
and has now been ordered removed to
the United Stairs district court.
The Missouri Pacific charges that
the order was a gross discrimina ton
against railroad property and was
taking private property without due
process of law.
