Says Grateful User Of SuIpherb
Tablets
Fine To Regulate Kidneys, Liver and
Other Bodily Functions and
Overcome PimpIes, Bad
Blood, Etc.

Probably this little message will
help some woman, man. girl or boy,
for if the blood is impure if constipa-
ton exists, if the kidneys and the
liver are not working to eliminate
the body waste, then it is a certainty
that. poisons will accumulate and
| cause nervousness with indigestion
and many allied ills.
A simple, effective treatment con-
sisting of Sulpherb Tablets (not sui
phur tablets) made of sulphur, cream
of tartar and the finest extracts OF
roots and herbs, is advised for your
good.
Mr.. Walter J. Foulds. 1894 Santee

TIME FOR A BUDGET.

Inasmuch as we were told only the

It is going to be some time before the
effect of the war in government ex
penditures is going to be overcome.
But at the same time it gave new en-
phasis to the need which has been so
often expressed of providing a budget
system in connection with government
affairs. While large OUTLAWS must be
made it is recognized that every pos
sible effort should be made for over
coming waste and checking extrava-
gancc. 1t should be the aim OF the
federal government to use every dol
lar that is spent wisely and well, to
throw away none Of the money which

1t is by no means a new idea that

direction have by no means accom-

lishman whom the correspondent met
at the British foreign office, has given
to the Associated Press the first COM

developments of the struggle in Rus

story of the volunteer army, organic

of homeless men, devoid of equip

force which has reconquered a large

there was any idea OF committing

the combina ton OF circumstances
which began when it was possible TO

b some the fascination about fire

which grows out OF the war. That in
terest in war and guns have been in
creased because of the war cannot be
questioned, but it is well understood
that it prevailed in large measure be-

Irecognized that every possible precau

sportsmen or those kept in the home
