DR.. J. A. CLAsON, Of Neosho, has
made an able and worthy member of
the legislature and his efforts in kill
ing the Marquette statue memorial
last winter will not soon beforgotten.
He has no use for A. P. A. measures
and at the special session Of the leg
lslature last week he was Instrument
al in knocking out another of their
schemes. In the assembly last Thurs
day the governors veto of a bill
authorizing counties to build an d
MAINTAIN industrial schools was TAX
en- up. Mr.. Tucker, of Winnebago,
made a PLAUSIBLE speech in favor of
the measure. Mr.. Wheeler opposed it
and Tucker and Billiard replied with
arguments in favor of it. DR.. Clason
made a-sharp and pointed speech;in
opposition to the measure. He said
it was a dastardly attempt to in
wade the precincts of private institu-
tions and he was glad that the state
had a man in the executive Office
strong enough to place the stamp of
his disapproval upon such vicious leg
islation. By a vote of So to 81 the as
sembly refused to pass the bill over
the governors veto and it was owing
to DR.. Clason's speech explaining it's
bad features that the bill did not
pass.-Hartford Times.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty -four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent
desire to urinate or pain in the back
is also convincing proof that the kid
neys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times in the nightto urinate. The
mild and the extraordinary effect of
Swamp Root is soon realized 1t
stands the highest for it's wond .erfUl
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have
a sample bottle and pamphlet both
sent free by mail. Mention THE
WATERFOWL REPUBLICAN and send your
address to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y. The proprietors of this
paper guarantee the genuineness OF
this offer.
