Knockers and Boosters.

The Durant News states that
six Kentucky home seekers visit.
ed Durant last week and seemed
well pleased, but that the knock.
ers got hold Of them and got in
their deadly work to the degree
that the prospectors left. There
are two classes Of people who in
jure q community: those who
knock in continually and those
who praise the land more than
it deserves. The former do a
community much injury, but The
latter do great deal more. If q
man has bought land and paid
more for it than it is worth, he
joins the first class and becomes
a knocker. And if he sells and
moves away, he becomes de-
terrent to others who would
move in. Truth is always the
best. West Point Leader.
Real estate agents in this
county have on several occasions
been deprived Of the opportunity
of closing desirable deals and
splendid people prevented from
locating on account Of the rau-
cous croak Of some knockers who
became aware Of the pending
transactions To praise land
and conditions too highly and to
exaggerate may mot be exactly
the proper caper," but it is i'm
measurably preferable to the an
vii chorus Of the knockers and
pessimists. Prospective land
seekers and settlers naturally ex-
pect that the advantages be
painted in roseate and alluring
hues and are prepared to make
discounts and allowances III the

estate agent or owner. But the

BEGIN HOT WAITER
DRINKING IF YOU
DON'T FEEL RIGHT
Says glass Of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poIsons.


If you wake up with a bad
taste, bad breath and tongue is
coated; if your head is dull or
aching; il what you eat sours
and forms gas and acid in stom-
ach, or you are bilious, consti-
pated, nervous, sallow and can't
get feeling just right, begin in
side bathing. Drink before
breakfast, a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of
limestone phosphate in it. This
will flush the poisons and toxins
from stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels and cleanse, sweeten and
purify 1.-The entire alimentary
tract. Do your inside bathing
Immediately upon arising in the
morning to wash out Of the sys-
tenn all the previous days pois-
onous waste, gases and sour bile
before putting more food into the
stomach.
To feel like young folks feel;
like you felt before your blood,
nerves and muscles became
loaded with body impurities, get
from your pharmacist a quarter
pound Of limestone phosphate
which is inexpensive and almost
tasteless, except for a sourish
twinge which is not unpleasant.
Just as soap and hot water act
on the skin, cleansing, sweeten-
ing and freshening, so hot water
and limestone phosphate act on
the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels. Men and women who are
usually constipated, bilious head
achy or have any stomach disor-
der should begin this inside bath
ing before breakfast. They are
assured they will become real
cranks on the subject shortly.

Meat forms uric acid which
excites and overworks the kid
neys in their efforts to filter it
from the system. Regular eat
ers of meat must flush the kid
neys occasionally. You must re-
lieve them like you relieve your
bowels; removing all the acids,
waste and poison, else you feel
a dull misery in the kidney re-
gion, sharp pains in the back or
sick headache, dizziness, your
stomach sours, tongue is coated
and when the weather is bad you
have rheumatic twinges. The
urine is cloudy, full of sediment;
the channels often get irritated,
obliging you to get up two or
three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating
acids and flush off the body's
urinous waste get about four
ounces OF Jad Salts from any
pharmacy; take tablespoonful
in a glass of water before break
fast for few days and your kid
neys will then act fine and blad-
der disorders disappear. This
famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kid
neys and stop bladder irritation.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; harm
less and makes delightful eff
fervescent lithia-water drink
which millions of men and women
take now and then, thus avoid
ing serious kidney and bladder
diseases.

can find in it is that it does not raise enough
money. Taxes will have to be higher instead
Of lower for the next few years is his cheerful
message to the public This would be true,
were it not for the fact that three weeks hence
control of congress will pass from Claude
Kitchn and his democratic associates. They

congress fine mess to be cleaned up. For the
