T ¢ i RSO g T A T — ¥ PAGE FOUR WILLARD 18 NAMED T0 HEAD DRAINAGE WORK E. V. Willard of St. Paul has been appointed state - commissioner of drainage and waters under the new 1919 law. Governor Burnquist is- sued the commission for a four-year term. Mr. Willard has been acting state drainage engineer since 1913, when he succeeded George A. Ralph, having been promoted after seven years’ service as deputy. The old law created the state drainage commission to supervise the drainage of state lands. The new law widens the scope of the commis- sion’s operation, imposing many ad- ditional duties. The board is au- thorized now to act in an advisory and consulting capacity to all drain- age officials in the state, and is given powers to conduct topographical and hydrographical investigations of different water sheds in Minnesota. It is made the duty of the commis- sloner of drainage and water to study flood control, and to conduct original research to determine proper capa- cities for tile and open drainage ditches.

HAS SOMETHING OF A JOB Bjll Is Finding That Thinking Up an Explanation 18 by No Means an Easy Task. Bill Dudley and eleven other pino- chle players who are members of & progressive pinochle club - left thelr South side homes to go to Beech Grove the other night. While at Foun- taln square waiting for the Beech Grove car Bill.and Joe Beck got too far away from the car to cateh it and the other ten went to Beech Grave, Then Bill got an idea and he and Beck stole home to where Bill's car rested— for his wife won't let him take it out after dark. They opened the garage door nofselessly, pushed the car out and down the street for a block and then stepped on the starter. They got to Beech Grove before the rest of the club did. Bill and his friend Beck drove home after the club meeting and repeated the performance In getting the car back In the garage. Then he went into the house. Presently the crowd came along and yelled at Blll through the window, Of course, that entailed ex- planations on Blll's part to his wife as to how he got home first. The other members of the club say Bill has not yet been ahble to explain to his wife how he beat them home.—Indianapoliy News. Not Worth a Rooster. Having lived next door to the home of a minister, T was often called in to witness a hasty wedding. On one occasion the prospective bride and bridegroom arrived In & farm wagon. After the ceremony was duly performed the bridegroom asked to be excused just a moment, and on returning from his wagon he sald: “Parson, 1 have no money to give you, but here is a nice young rooster for your Thanksgiving dinner, and I will bring you a turkey for Christmas.” On several occasions the minister saw the same man In town, who seemed to avold him. One day on meeting him face to face he sald: “Parson, I may as well tell you that T am not golng to bring that turkey; I have found out she was not even worth the rooster I gave you."”-—Chls cago Tribune, i KEEP LODKING YOUNG It's Easy—If You Know Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets The secret of keeping young is to feel ijoung — to do this you must watch your iver and bowels ~ there’s no need of having a sallow complexion — dark under your eyes — pimples — a bilious look in your face — dull eyes with no sparkle.

IF BACKACHY OR KIDNEYS BOTHER Eat Less Meat, Also Take Glass of Salts Before Eat- ing Breakfast Uric acid in meat excrves the kid- neys, they become overworked; get sluggish, ache, and feel like lumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irritated, and you may be obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. When the kidneys clog you must help them flush off the body’s urinous waste or you'll be a real sick person shortly. At first you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, you suffer from backache, sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour, tongue coated and you feel fhchaxsafic twinges when the weather s 5 Eat less meat, drink lots of water; also get from any pharmacist four ounces of Jad Salts; take a table- spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This fam- ous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activ- ity, also to neutralize the acids in urine, 8o it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weak- ness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot injure; makes a delightful efferves- cent lithia-water drink which every- one should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active. Drug- gi‘sts here say sell lots of Jad lts to folks believe in over- coming kidney le while it is only trouble.

Olaf Ongstad, Prop. (Indiana) HE service which, at all times, the Standard 0il Company (Indiana) is prepared to render its patrons, rests securely upon a solid foundation of complete distribution. To perfect a system which shall make every product manufactured by the Company instantly available to anyone, anywhere, any time, has been the goal toward- which this Company has been working since the day of its organization. : ', As yet this ideal Bms not been achieved; but the system as it stande is conceded to be the most perfect of its kind in the world. The present equipment for distribution, “including grounds, buildings, storage tanks, motor trucks, wagons, etc., ropresents an investment of more than $30,000,000. There are 27 main stations where complete stocks of all products are kept on hand. Supporting these are the bulk stations located at 2881 carefully selected points in 11 states. These stations are equipped with storage tanks . having a combined capacity of 86,113,650 jons of gasoline, 66,115,300 gallons of kerosene, und 4,300,000 gallons of lubricating oils. It is necessary to carry this tremendous stock —total 156,528,950 gallons—at all times to insure quick, con= venient service to the patrons of the Standard O(}l Company (Indiana) wherever they may be, regardless of transpor- tation difficulties or weather conditions. To enable the Company to fulfill fts obligations to trons, and deliver to them the products they require, it s necessary to muintain a fleet of 3700, motor trucks and a caravan of 3500 horse-drawn wagons, either active or in reserve. These tank wagonS are so organized that they, at regular intervals, can reach 759 of the homes in the territory at present served.by this Company. * Supplementing the wagons, an equipment of 530,000 iron barrels, representing an investment of more than 87,000,000, is kept in service to insure the safe delivery of oils and gasoline, even to those remote places where the dark-green tank wagon never has penetrated. For the convenience of the motoring public, a chain of 4300 service stations has been organized and many others are in the course of construction. These stations are prepared at all times to supply the motorist with his requirements of gasoline and lubricating oils in any quan- tity and at the lowest prices. This, in outline, is the distribution system upon which the service of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) rests. It is the hope of the Company that the time is not far distant when no person in the territory served will be more than five or six miles from a Standard Oil Company (Indiana) service station if he lives in the country, or more than one mile away if he lives in a town or city.
