In commenting on the above state
iment Mr.. John Pomeroy said: Il am
convinced that all the disagreeable
symptoms from which Mr.. Altrogge
suffered was the direct result of an
acid stomach, and if / were asked to
put forth a health warning that would
be Of the greatest benefit to man

stomach For acid stomach is the
cause Of fermentation which, though
bad enough itself, is the foreTunner
of a multitude of other ills that sap
the energy and vitality Of its victims.
! say with conviction that 80 per cent
of all sickness starts through the con-
centrated effects of an acid stomach.
Mature provides hydrochlonc acid
as one of the digestive fluids, but an
excess of hydrochloric acid in the
stomach sets up fermentation, and
advances the election of the food
from the stomach which forces the
acid all through the body In conse-
quence, the poisons (toXins) are pro-
duced which are absorbed into the
blood, setting up auto-intoXication,
mental depression, rheumatism, ner-
vousness, sleeplessness, and many
other ills of which these are the warn
ing symptoms,
Every vital organ becomes af-
fected-the heart, kidneys, liver. in
testines, blood, nerves and even the
brain-because the stomach is the
general organ of the body. Even the
teeth become affected and the gums
develop pyorrhea.

cinal properties which readily com

OUR WEATHER EYE
The Taxpayers Money

Do you pay taxes in Audubon
county?
# so, you are ono Of those who
have right to dais,and that none
of the money go 't line the pockets
of political shysters and parasites.
If you feel that you owe these gen
try living and wish to pay the
debt in this way, it is your own
business and others should not in
terfere; but if you feel instead that
they have no claim upon you and
that you do not care to contribute
to their private income, now is a
good time to take an uncompro-
missing stand for the extirpation of
the spoils system from the business
done in the name of the people Of
Audubon county
For it all comes to this: that a
part of the money which you earn
at one end of the line by the sweat
OF your brow finds its way at the
other end of the line into the pock-
cts of men who get it by the simple
process Of charging their own prices
for goods furnished the county; and
they are able to do this merely be-
cause they know that no questions
will be asked but the money
promptly paid over instead.
Just why anyone should have the
desire in his heart to make living
off of his fellow men in this man.
ner, or why such public pickpock-
cts should be tolerated by society,
are questions that will be brought
up here later. The point to notice
now is that there are plenty Of good
men in the county, who would
stamp this evil out if they were
given an opportunity to do SO; and
it is for the taxpayers to search
these men out and see to it that
they are given the chance that they
need.
You will have to do your bit.
That bit is to refuse firmly to sup
port any candidate who refuses to
support the policy OF buying all
public supplies from the lowest re-
sponsible bidder. 1t is as simple as
this. This is the magic formula
that will get value received for the
axpayers' money. Are you for it
or against it? For it isn't some
else's problem, but your own.

Bad Sleet Storm

Telephone communications be-
tween Des Moines, Iowa and Oma-
ha, Nebraska were broken last Sun
day when 2l5 poles on the Iowa
Telephone Company's lines be-
tween Adair and Atlantic, Iowa,
went down in the sleet storm which
swept this section of the state.
Toll service was restored over
emergency wires Tuesday morning.
Repairmen, poles and wire. were
sent to damaged points and the
permanent lines are expected to be
rebuilt by the end of this week.
This is the second sleet storm
this spring which has damaged the
property OF the telephone compan-
les in western Iowa and central and
eastern Nebraska. Two weeks ago
storm caused loss OF approx
mately 100000 to the property of
the Iowa Telephone Company and
its associated company in Nebraska,
the Nebraska Telephone Company.
Because Of the prohibitive rate, due
to the unusual risk, no insurance is
carried by the telephone company
on it's outside property.
The farm lines out of Extra suf-
fered a hard blow. There were
breaks in the pole lead of from five
poles in place to one and one half
miles where every pole was down
and the wires matted and tangled
in every conceivable manner. Even
where the pole lead did not suffer,
the aerial wire was broken and tan
gled and crossed in many places.
By Wednesday evening the local
men had farm service restored on
comparatively all lines.

MEETS WITH GOOD
LUCK IN WEST

ranch on Bear Creek, a peculiar
deposit of chalk-like earth was
encountered. About the same time

Prof. Ed Wood of Tacoma, made
him a visit He became interested
in the deposit and took away with
him several pounds for chemical
analysis. For two years Prof.
Wood has been experimenting with
the deposit and has succeeded in
producing a chemical combination,
which will be manufactured at
Winthrop and placed on the mar
ket. 1t will be known as "Ameri-
can Cleanser"
Prof. Wood has had the formula a
perfected for several months, but
has been giving it every conceivable
test before putting it on the mar
ket. He has given it comparative
tests with every known powder
Gle anser on the market, and invites
comparison with others.
Among the tests given have been
