 You will feel so good--so ener- getic and the urge for activity will be so great that you will immensely enjoy a daily walk of several miles and lose fat.
 | While you are losing fat you will be gaining in energy-in endurance Lin ambition. Your skin will grow clearer and your eyes will sparkle with the good health that Kruschen brings.
 Just try one s5c bottle of Kruschen Salts; 1t will last you 4 weeks, After you have taken one bottle the old arm chair won't hold you any more-you'll want to be up land doing-you'll enjoy work you'll sleep like a top and probably live years longer.

Why the Present
 Low Prices!

The past fifty years have seen periods of expansion and contraction in business. The present is part of the fifteenth such cycle. The past eighteen months have been period of contraction. This period, accord ing to the history of the past half century, should be drawing to close, and will be followed by period of expansion.
 Present retail prices reflect the unheard of low levels of raw ma- terials. After these stocks of raw ma- terials are manufactured and sold, prices will again become stabilized probably at higher levels. If you're thrifty you'll buy while prices are at this low level.

During the past several years
owners Of orchards In the Valley
have felt a growing loss from thefts.
Ir many cases trucks have been
driven into the groves and loaded
with grapefruit or oranges and then
driven TO some Of the larger cities
Of the state for sale. The practice
increased rapidly until several
months ago when the federal quar-
intine made it necessary that all
fruit leaving the Valley be proper

stamp OF an inspector.
However even with this safeguard

reda) and its bonds and validating
certain water rights held and
claimed by said district is being OPP
posed.
Mr.. Robertson said there was no
objection TO valuation Of the dis
trict and Its bonds, a regular pro-
cedure. but there would be Oppos-
ition to validati5n Of water rights.
Prior TO 1913, when the state
Board OF Water Engineers was es-
tabliShed, water rights were Sc
cured BY filing with the county
clerk. Most Valley rights were so
established but those secured since
then we're obtained through grants
from the water board. Mr. Robert
sOn said that the Barreda district
has valid claims to water rights
and that there Is no necessity for
validating such claims On the other
hand 1t would set a precedent for
securing water rights by legislative
act which Is not desired by the VAL
ley districts.
The matter has been taken up
with w. F. Seabury Of Brownsville.
vice-president OF the district. with
hopes that this particular clause
may be eliminated before the bill
Is presented or comes to a vote.
Valley districts have successfully
opposed previous efforts at eStab-
fishing water rights BY legislative
acts. persons endeavoring to secure
rights In this manner being per-
suaded TO 20 through the regular
channels.
In the event that the Barreda
district feels that it wishes to pre-
sent the entire bill. Valley districts
will ask for a hearing at the COM
mittee meeting at which the meas
ure will be discussed before being
submitted to a vote OF the legisla-
ture.
