Government bonds keep right

Government bonds keep right on
climbing toward the 100 pen cent mark
and some authorities are predicting
that they will reach par inside of two
years. The bonds are going up because
money is more plentiful in the east and
capitalists are looking for safe invest

will be the case.

FORCED LAND SALES.

Iowa land. like other substantial
property, is going to come back. y
Theer is no occasion to fear that the
land owner who is able TO hold onto
his property until normal conditions
return will lose Oh the investment. The
fact that there is an occasional mort
gage sale of farms where the farm is
knocked down to the holder of the
first mortgage doesn't necessarily mean
that the first mortgage is going to re-
tain the property. Such sales are for
cash. and at this particular time it is
not easy to get the cash, hence the hold
or of the second mortgage or other
creditor can do better by taking adj
vantage of the privileges of redemp-
ton than he can by bidding in the
property. He has year in which to
redeem. by paying costs and 6 per cent
interest. This gives him a chance to
make arrangements for the money.
Therefore, merely because quarter
section farm upon which there arc two
mortgages is sold at sheriffs sale for
the face of the first mortgage the sec
ond mortgage is not thereby
made worthless Before the time of
redemption expires the owner of the
second mortgage may he able to re-
deem the property and eventually re-
alize on its mortgage. Or the owner
may redeem it, cutting out the second
mortgage unless the holder of said
mortgage takes the necessary steps TO
protect his own interests There is no
question but that lot of people who
invested in land at the high speculative
prices CT 1919 are going to lose money,
especially those who made comparative
" small payments and paid fancy
prices for location, but many of the
farms that are being sold under the
hammer for the face of the first mort
gage will he redeemed later on and in
some instances the owners Will lose
nothing beyond the costs incurred. 1t

rest from French heels occasionally.
The secret Of good feet is changing
your shoes and resting the angle at
which you walk. Several pairs of
footwear are not luxury, but real
economy. They save wear and tear
on your nervous system.
The menner in which You eat also
has a great effect on your health
and nerves. II certainly pays not to
nibble candies and other things be-
tween meals. Your stomach should
have complete rest after it has fin
ished digesting one meal until time
for the next. Can you imagine the
inside of stomach which is half
full of nearly digested, partly di-
gested, and newly swallowed food7
Can you wonder at the resulting
state of sourness.
Fletcher, the great authority on
digestion, said that no one should
eat until the very thought Of dry
bread caused the mouth to water
with hunger. He also advised the
thorough chewing Of food, and
smaller meals absorbed in the slow
est way possible.
Our worst offense today is over
eating. The old saying that we dig
our graves with our teeth is only too
true. The real waste in the tissues
is not great even in the hardest kind
Of labor, and when great mass of
food is taken into the body only
small part of it is really used, the
remainder is excess and must be
thrown out by overworking the kid
neys.
Drink plenty Of water, this is one
of the greatest beautifiers in exist
ence. 1t flushes the intestines. One
should drink at least five glasses a
day.
The daily bath is an excellent aid
to health, because it keeps the pores
open.
Do not overdress in the way Of
underwear. The use Of heavy flan-
nels is injurious because one per-
spires in a steam-heated house and
then goes out and becomes chilled.
1t is better to wear the same lingerie
all the year around and to adopt
warm knickers under ones skirt and
an extra warm wrap.
Perhaps the most important thing
of all is to keep the system open and
free from impurities and the liver
active. Physicians declare that if
this received more attention the
amount of disease would decrease
perceptibly. When you begin to feel
i'll take physic Immediately. 1t will
aid you in breaking up cold, in
avoiding tonsilitis and in throwing
off infection.
Always remember this: Every day
of our lives we take into ur system
germs of almost every disease which
is floating through the air. This
need not worry you. IL your system
is kept open and in good condition
you will lose these germs as easily
as you breathed them into your sys-
tenn, but if you are clogged with i'm
purities and in poor condition they
will obtain hold and grow within
you.

Before the eggs are placed in the
