IOWA MILL
From The DesMoines Register. ]

(From The DesMoines Register.)
CHARLES CITY, Ia, July 2I-
"A record is held by w. J. Bowen and
his son, Thomas, proprietors OF the
Nashua Woolen Mills at Nashua, that
is unique in the world.
Mr.. Bowen represents the fifteenth
generation in the woolen mill business
in his family and his son, Thomas. his
partner, the sixteenth generation.
This puts the founder Of the Bowen
line Of business as far back as at least
the middle of the fifteenth century,
taking the definition of generation
given by the Standard dictionary as
a third Of century.
The family lived in Wales for many
generations and Mr.. Bowen came from
there to this country in 1873, when
about 20 years old, and joined his
uncle, D. w. Jones in the wollen
mills at Manchester, Ia, where he
worked for number of years until
the mills were destroyed by fire.
Mr.. Bowen then purchased the mills
at Nashua, where he has been since
1900.
Mr.. Bowen learned the business
from his father in Wales, commencing
at the age Of s, SO he has been in the
woolen mills business for sixty years.
His family were quite musical and
~lae himself graduated fro ma conser-
vatory in Great Britain, taking band
instrument music. A member of his
family was a composer in Wales in
his generation and at festival in
Wales comprnsed the music played
when the king and queen were at the
festival for which the queen gave him
several thousand pounds on account
of her admiration of the composition.
Mr.. Bowen and his son are now
busy in their woolen mills with an
order for $4,000 yards of plaid cloth
for shipment to Switzerland, to be
made from raw wool to the finished
product.

.I68TH INFANTRY
BAND COMING
ORGANIZATION CONES HERE UN-
DER AUSPICES OF AMERICAN e
LEGION POST.
CONCERT AT THE FAIR GROUNDS
Miss Marion Morgan, Vocalist, To Be
Heard Here in Vocal
Selection

Some wise old seer has said Few
people seat themselves to varied
table with an equal appetite for every
dish" Certainly this is true of music
and in selecting the numbers which
go to make up the concert program of
Morgans' Rainbow Division Band,
special care has been taken to offer a
variety to please all. There will be a
combination of popular, standard and
classic numbers from the worlds best
composers.
Morgan's Rainbow Division Band
formerly the famous old 16Sth In
fantry Band) needs no introduction to
the people of Manchester. 1t comes
with an enviable reputation already
established. For more than year and
a half its members served overseas,
taking part in the engagements at
Baccarat and in the Juvenile sector
and also in the major offensives at
Champagne, Chateau Thierry, ST.
Mihiel and the Argonne. AS part Of
the Army OF Occupation the Rainbow
Division was stationed on the west
bank of the Rhine While there the
16Sth Band was chosen from among
seven. bands in the Rainbow Division
to play in concerts before Maj. Gen.
Dickman, commanding the Army of
Occupation, and his staff stationed at
Coblenz. 1t was an honor rarely ac-
corded.
One of the numbers offered in this
years program is an Italian classic,
translated by some German musician
to conform to German Interpretation.
This selection with large library of
German Band Music was found in a
German sector in France, left there,
no doubt, and forgotten in the rush of
their retreat. The repertoire OF Marg-
ans Band includes several standard
and classical overtures, some of the
best of the late musical comedy Sc
lections and most Of the latest pop
ular music. The noted musical crit
ic, Clay Smith, comments: IF you have
an idea that you are above rag-time
music. hear this band tear off few
SaG yoctsWs heTe. TO admit that you
are fairly inoculated with their peppy
precision and effervescing life, snap
and pep
Marion Morgan is the vocalist this
season and with her pleasing person
atty and charming voice, is receiving
very favorable comment from press
and public. Cher features include
euphonium and cOrnet solos, descrip-
tive and novelty featuring the wood
wind instruments and the different
brass sections
Arrangements for the appearance of
the Band on Tuesday, August End, in
clude en- evening concert and free
street parade The band is coming
here under the auspices of Manches-
ter Post of the. American Legion and
to the concert an admission fee of rs
and 55 cents will be charged to de-
fray expenses. Members of the Post
are to be commended for bringing to
our city musical organization Of the
calibre of the old 16Sth and no doubt
people will show their appreciation by
attending.

strong. one of them being one-time
captain of the Womans College team
of Tallahassee, but the Fairfield for
wards would not be denied
This was the fastest game yet
played by the Fairfield team. but ev-
cry one of the team was in first class
condition and were able to put up a
strong fight all the way through, the
guards and centers contributing large
~ to the result by keeping the ball
where the forwards could use it.
II was Fairfeld's game from start

If BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Bat lsss meat and take glass Of
Salts to fush out Kidney
Drink plenty water.

Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys,
they become overworled; get sluggish,
ache, and feel like humps Of lead. The
urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irri-
tated, and you may be obliged to seek re-
lief two or three times during the night.
When the kidneys clog you must help
them flush of the body's urinous waste
or you'll be real sick person shortly.
At first you feel a dull misery in the kid
ney regio you suffer from backache,
sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets
sour, tongue coated and you feel rhen-
matte twinges when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four ounces
of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful
in glass Of water before breakfast
for a Few days snd your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous saItsis made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with iithia, and has been used
for generations to clean clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity.
also to neutralize the acids in urine, SO
it no longer is source of irritation.
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone should
take now and then to keep the kidneys
clean and active. Druggists here say
they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who
believe IN overcoming kidney trouble
