COMMERCIAL CLUB CHAT
-BY THE SECRETARY -—
“SEE LEE COUNTY FIRST”
1 '■■■
A Thought for the Week:—“Har
mony of purpose and action is essen
tial to highest efficiency in any or
ganization. It vve keep our hand$
and our heads in harmony with our
hearts we will keep in perfect har
mony with ourselves, for the hearts
of all men are mostly good.”
****
“Ted” is keeping some of the
“leading lights” in the limelight these
days with numerous cartoons, es
pecially the “traffic light."
****
D. C. Welty, agricultural commis
sioner Missouri-Pacific railroad, St.
Louis, is the guest of the Commercial
Club today. Mr. Welty will address
the mass meeting this evening at the
Elks Club along lines of ‘ Plans for
Properly Marketing the Products of
the Local Farmer.” A big meeting is
expected.
****
Dr. Newell, county agent, reports
a fine trip to Mississippi where he
was in attendance at the Boll Weevil
Convention at Dunleith.
• *v‘
Miss Evans, county demonstration
agent, is taking her vacation and will ]
be away until about the middle of
August.
****
The Secretary has been invited to
make an address at a Good Road3
Convention in Missour* the coming
month. They have heard about the
good roads in Lee county and want
to hear more.
All men are not homeless—but
some are home less than others.
****
Recent rumors about refined oil in
a certain section of Lee county are
current. Company may be organized
and probably called “From Well to
Lamp.” Quite a discovery. (See
Foster.)
***#
Did you know that more than 7.000
head of cattle are being dipped in
Lee county every two weeks? Lee
county is determined to rid herself
of the cattle tick this year. Keep
up the good work.
Some interesting data relative to
the ‘ white way” the past week, and
it seems probable this proposition
will be revived in the near future.
Nothing will add more to the general
progressive air of our little city than
a modern “white way.”
Look pleasant, no matter how you
feel.
* * *
One of the Membership Committee
reports several new names for the
Commercial Club. Good! the more the
merrier. Always glad to have the
“live ones” come in and ‘‘do their
bit.”
* V**
When those sanitary drinking
fountains ARE installed—well, they
will still be sanitary any way. Get
your drinking cup ready.
****
Mr. Castell. one of our progressive
farmers, brought an aple to the Club
the past week that weighs 21 ounces.
Some apple! Same varieyt that took
the prize at the St. Louis World’s
Fair.
The Commercial Club Band is
rounding to and expects to be in first
class trim for the Cotton States Mer
chants Convention. Memphis, next
month. No better advertisement for
any live town than a real good band.
****
The live commercial club never
sleeps. It is always alive to the pos
sibility of adding another citizen and
another enterprise to the community.
That is what builds your town—the
adding, one by one, of people and
enterprises.
A
Notice where our good friend. Dr.
Tait Butler, editor of the Progressive
Farmer, is being touted for Assistant
Secretary of Agriculture of the Uni
ted States. Well. Dr. Cutler is thor
oughly qualified and can fill the bill
in every wav. Luck to him.
****
ftemember, the Commercial Club
needs YOU. Also remember YOU
need the Commercial Club. If YOU
don't belive this, well, join this club
and find out.

To keep these poisons and toxins

MFOR KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if Kidneys feel like lead
or Bladder bothers you—Meat
forms uric acid.
Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and clogged
and need a flushing occasionally, else we
have backache and dull misery in the
kidney region, severe headaches, rheu
matic twinges, torpid liver, acia stomach,
sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder die
orders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take a tablespoonful in a glass of water j
before breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
litbia, and is harmless to flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to normal
activity. It also neutralizes the acids
in the urine so it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia
water drink which everybody should take
now and then to keep their kidneys clean,
tfcus avoiding serious complications.
A well-known local druggist says he
■ells lots of Jad 8&Hs to folks who believe
in overcoming kidney trouble while it is
only trouble.
