they were first The decision Of the

Headaches are caused by auto
intoxication-Which means self
poisoning. Liver and bowel pois-
ons, called toxins, sucked into the
blood excite the heart which
pumps the blood sc fast that it

violent, throbbing pain and 6;s-
tress, called headache. You be-

feverish and miserable, your
meals sour and almost nauseate

which temporarily relieve but do
not rid the blood Of these irrita-
ting toxins.

Deputy Sheriff Lindsey, who is
ever on the alert for the detection
Of evil doors, made raid last
Sunday morning while waiting for
The Sunday school bell to ring,
and captured one drink Of home
made white lightning. The scene
of the raid was just across the
street from the Methodist church,
and the party apprehended was
Bertha Smith, who has rather a
savory reputation in all things
Of an immoral nature. The unu-
sual noise occasioned by the con-
VITALITY of the feast attracted Mr..
Lindsey's attention, and he de-
cided to go over and investigate.
He found two empty quart bottles
which had just been emptied, as
the aroma proved. Every other
indication pointed to the fact
that Bertha was not living in ac-
cordance with the law, and she
was arrested and ordered to APP
pear in court next Saturday for
further investigation.
The first engagement of the
Radcliffe Chautauqua in Brandon
closed Saturday night. On ac-
count of the cold night, the last
number was given at: the school
house. The three days program
consisted of lectures, music, con-
certs, ETC., and each number was
handled by specialist in his or
her line, and was a rare treat to
the citizens of this town and sur
rounding community. Those pub
lie spirited men who guaranteed
the payment of the required a.
mount in order to bring the chau-
tauqua here, deserve the thanks
of our people. On account of the
cold weather, the chautauqua
was not success from a financial
standpoint, quite little sum hav-
ing to be raised by the guarantors.
Forty citizens of the town have
contracted with the management
for return engagement next fall,
when it is proposed that an ex-
tensive advertising program will
be put on in order to acquaint the
people of the county with the
merit of the attraction.

Here is something neW-the eXplO- sjve stocking. It is not explosive in eolor but in fiber. Before the war gun cotton and smokeless powder had to be made. Then along came some gen. ips and discovered that these violent compounds could be based on desic- eated tree stUmps. It was not at that time in lis mind to make silk stock ings of the same material But, the pressure Of munitions production past, he turned his thoughts to developing a silk stocking out Of his reserve stock of explosive material He found great difficulty in obtaining a stocking that would not go off with a loud bang. But he now has on the market a1 article that is believed to be explosion proof Jokesmiths have a neat opportunity here in associating tho idea of stumps and wooden legs, with the silken hosiery now in vogue.

A FALSE WITNESS

The Saturday Evening Post in an editorial printed in the issue of Feb. 21 says:
 To-day the old parties stand for nothing except appetite for office, and the real issue between them is simply which one is going to get the most power and the offices and the salaries that go with it.'
 This is a false, a stupid and an un- patriotic statement It is an attack from a source not entirely disinter- ested, upon the good faith and devo- tion to the country of millions of men and women who profess and feel party allegiance in this country, and who have in their keeping the future of the two "old political parties."
 The Saturday Evening Post is just now carrying on a definite propagan- da in behalf of candidate for Pres ident of it's own choosing. It's a case of "drop nickle in the slot" and get presidential candidate The zeal of the Post in behalf of it's own hand picked candidate for the Presidency, however much or from whatever mo- tive it may be so much interested in putting over what it has in mind is no justification for it's insults to mil lions of men and women who object to having their motives impugned as members of "the old political part ies." While these millions have not attended any dinners given by Colonel House and Lord Grey to the publish CTS of the Saturday Evening Post and New York World, their allegiance to political parties is perhaps founded on quite as patriotic reasons as the fealty of the Post to whatever may be it's control, when every possible influ- ence is being employed to subordi- nate American interests, rights and ideals to the purposes of alien powers and cOmmercialized internationalism
