Wilson Demands That Germany Shall Yield—Bryan Asked Americans to Remain at Home. The American note was cabled to Germany Wednesday. It will be released for publication Friday morning.

HEAVY MEAT EATERS HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS

Eat Less Meat If You Feel Backachy Or Have Bladder Trouble. No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by, flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys, they become overworked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys. - The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about.four JZes of Jad Salt, from any pharmacy, take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and in a few days' your kidneys will act fine. This famous salt, is made from the 1 acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate the kidneys, also to neutralise the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weakMM* Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure, makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take onW and then to keep the kidneys clean and mW and the blood pure, thereby avoiding kidney complications,

He was 38 years of age and was married but had no dhildren. .He had been in Texas for about five years, being engaged at farming near ChaliAers, a small place near Bay City. A paper dated June 4th and printed at Bay. City, told of an outing trip Mr. and Mrs. Fell and others were taking last freek and so far as known to his father his health was good.' He had served some as a deputy sheriff there and Mr. Fell feels that this may have caused some one to< kill him, although this is only theory.

Later he lived on a farm near Auburn and for two years after his marriage worked for the Auburn Automobile Co. After his removal to Texas he engaged in general farming, specializing in rice. His untimely death is a great shock to his father and friends. His last visit here was about two years ago. Mr. Fell has been trying this Thursday afternoon to learn something more about his son’s death and to find out over wfcat road the body is being shipped.

ANOTHER LINK WITH MONTICELLO.

Monticello Citizens Add Their Praise. Another link with our neighboring town of Monticello is provided in the following grateful and generous statement of a well-known resident there, Mr. Thomas, H. Graves, Railroad St, who says: “I had a severe attack of lumbago and my back became so stiff and sore that I could not stoop. I had a dull, throbbing ache through my kidneys and loins antLa distressing kidney weakness. I doctored and used medicine of various kinds, but nothing helped me until I took Doan’s Kidney Pills. This medicine went to the seat of the trouble and three boxes made a cure.* Price 50c, et all dealers. Don’t ■iavply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Mils—the same that Mr. Graves had.

Found One Family in Bad Shape at Springer Ranch.

Attoriey Halleck drove to the Springer ranch Wednesday to see a client who had made a contract purchase of 20 acres of the land. The man had made protest to him, claiming that the agreement that brought him to the onion fields had not been lived up to by the .selling agency. The man’s name was Alex. Chode. He had paid cash $622.50 on the farm and the contract called for a new house to be erected by .the agents, also the breaking and harrowing of the land. The house is scarcely as good as a chickencoop, so Mr. Halleck says, and contains no flue and the man and his wife and three children ■have been almost freezing these cool nights. Only 4 acres of his ground had been put into shape for planting and he had onions growing on this much and'they were looking very good. A chicken yard which the . contract called for had not been erected. The man and his family had spent all of their money as an advance payment on the land and in getting a cow, some hogs and chickens and they are now destitute. Their land is a half mile off the road. Unless the agents who sold the land comply with the fulfillment of the contract it is probable that a suit will be brought. Attorney Halleck did not call on amy of the other purchasers, but it is reported from other sources that there is a great amount of suffering there. It is possible that an investigation may be made into the sales proposition, it being said that the names signed to the sales contract are not the owners of the land as shown in the office of the recorder. It has been understood that the land was sold to a Chicago man and that the selling agency was organized for him. This party is said, however, to have gone to New York recently to try to clear up a mortgage on the farm. If there is anything crooked ■about the proposition there should be the most vigorous prosecution, for Jasper county does not care to have _ dishonest methods employed against an ignorant class of foreigners. It might be that a court of investigation or a* grand jury could secure an interpreter and ascertain what measure of deception has been employed in the sale of these small tracks of land on the Springer ranch.

CALL AND SETTLE.

I dating up the sale of my telephone line it is necessary that all accounts be approved by the purchasers and all subscribers are asked to call at the office of the Jasper County Telephone Co. and pay their old accounts and make claim for whatever advance payments have been made, eo that there will be no errors.—J. F. Bruner. «

FLAG DAY PROGRAM WILL ATTRACT MANY

Red Men Are Behind Next Sunday’s Observance of Day Devoted to ‘Stars and Stripes. The Red Men have quite appropriately inaugurated the observation of Flag Day in Rensselaer and will on next Sunday give a very •interesting program of a patriotic nature and all the lodges and all the people of the city and surrounding country are invited to be present and take part. At this time patriotism should be aroused'in every breast and there is nothing more inspiring than to see Old Glory floating in the breeze and hear a great chorus singing the patriotic national airs. In many cities Flag Day is observed every year. The official day is June 14th, but the Red Men chose Sunday, the 13th, so that all could take part and it Should draw a big crowd if the weather is agreeable. , The exercises will be held in the Gayety Airdome. The band will begin playing at 2 o’clock and the porgram will start at 2:30. Horton Bros, donated the Gayety for the occasion. A fine new flag which floats above the Gayety is attracting favorable attention. Rensselaer has been accused by visitors with not displaying nearly so many flags as other cities on patriotic days. In Monticello, it is safe to say, there were many times as many large flags displayed on Memorial Day as there were here. This observation of flag day may inspire us to a more general use of the flag. The following program has been arranged: Music—Band. Invocation —Rev. Parrett. Music—H. S. Mixed Quartet. Remarks —Chairman C. M. Sands. Music—H. S. Quartet. Song—“ Star Spangled Banner” by the audience. Address —Hon. George I. Kisner, of Terre Haute. Song—“ America” by Audience. Benediction —Rev. Titus.

E. C. Maxwell & Son Are Hauling Garbage.

E. C. Maxwell & Son x secured a number of garbage contracts and have been hauling ashes and other rubbish this week and distributing the new garbage cans they purchased. A canvass of the city resulted in a number contracting and several others giving the matter hearty approval. Some thought that the city should undertake the collection and not throw the coat on the individuals, but the city is not in shape this year, at least, to undertake that. The importance of sanitation to every family and the convenience of it should also appeal to all. If you have not contracted with Mr. Maxwell, call him. up and arrange to have a can to put your slops in and then have it hauled away every few days. It may save a life or two this summer.
