Postal Currency.

Although the Post Check Curren-
cy bill, failed of passage at the last
session of Congress, there seems to
be no doubt that the, measure can
succeed in the present session if it's
advocates throughout the country
make their desire known to their
Congressman. The plan of having
United States money SO printed that
the bills of small denominations can
be converted into checks payable to
order at any post Office is no doubt
familiar to most of the people by this
time, as it has been described with
frequency and in detail. The conve-
nience which it would afford, the
losses which it would save to the null
titude who have occasion to send
small amounts of money through the
mails, doing away with the trouble
of securing money orders, unques-
tionably would be, in the aggregate,
vast. The scheme is so practicable,
and so entirely simple, that the won
der is that it was not devised and
adopted long ago. Almost every
newspaper in the country has COM
mented upon it, and we do not recall
one hat has found reason for oppos-
ing it. Congress should at the COM
ing session pass the bill and give the
business public the benefit of a really
valuable idea.

Teddy's Confidence.

A friend of the Roosevelt family
says that when Theodore, Jr., was
but a small chap of eve years he
was thrown into a state of great ex-
element by a proposed trip in the
care of his mother. The night before
he started his father said, "Ted, you
must take good care of your mother
while you're away"
That night the child ~undressed
himself without any help from his
nurse, and when he knelt at his moth
er's knee to say his prayers, he pray
ed, "Please, God, take good care of
papa, but I'm going with mamma my
self."-Selected.

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY
TROUBLE AND DON'T KNOW IT
To Prove What Swamp-ROOt, the Great Kidney Remedy, VIII do for YOU,
Every Reader Of The Progressive Farmer May Have a Sample Bottle Free
by Mail.

Weak and unhealthy kidneys are
responsible for more sickness and
suffering than any other disease,
therefore, when through neglect or
other causes, kidney trouble is per-
mitted to continue, fatal results are
sure to follow.
Your other organs may need at
tention-but your kidneys most, be-
cause they do most and need atten-
ton first.
If you are sick or "feel badly" be-
gin taking DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder remedy, because as soon as
your kidneys are well they will help
all the other organs to health. A
trial will convince anyone.
The mild and immediate effect of
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney and bladder remedy, is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distress
ing cases. Swamp-Root will set your
whole system right, and the best
proof of this is a trial.
IA West 117th ST., New York City.
Oct. Is. 1901.
Dear Sirs:-"I had been suffering
severely from kidney trouble. All
symptoms were on hand; my former
strength and power had left me; l
could hardly drag myself along. Even
my mental capacity was giving out,
and often I wished to die. It was
then I saw an advertisement of yours
in a New York paper, but would not
have paid any attention to it, had it
not promised a sworn guarantee with
every bottle of your medicine assert
ing that your Swamp-Root is purely
vegetable, and does not contain any
harmful drugs. [ am seventy years
and four months old, and with a good
conscience I can recommend Swamp
Root to all sufferers from kidney
troubles. Four members of my fam
lily have been using Swamp-Root for
four different kidney disease, with
the same good results"
With many thanks to you, I re-
main,
Very truly yours,

How Farmers Can Promote Good Legis-
lation.

As a matter of fact there ought to
be a good understanding between the
lawmakers and the folks at home all
the way along. Not only have we a
right to know what our representa-
tives are thinking and doing all the
time, but we are clearly within
province when we use all honorable
means to let them know what we
think about the various problems
which come up from time to time for
consideration. Most of the measures
proposed have All interest to us more
or less directly. Some of them vital
Iy affect us, individually and as a
nation.
This may seem to many an idea so
out of the ordinary that they may
not really see how they can do any
thing to influence their lawmakers.
And it may be proper at this time
when the Congress of the United
States is in regular session and the
Legislatures of a good many of the
States are in session, to think over
some of the things we ought and
ought not to do to maintain a close
relationship with our representatives.
In the first place, we may send
them a letter. Uncle Sam is a most
faithful servant in s%econding our eff
forts in this line. Write a letter and
he ome to our door and does all the
rest. In a day or two what we have
written is in the hands of the mem
bers. And it is certain that if they
are honest men,, bent upon doing
their duty as public officers, they will
be glad to get hat letter. And
whether they would be willing to ad-
init it or not they will be a little more
careful in making up their minds
what to do about the particular ques-
ton about which you have written
them than they would otherwise have
been. And if any considerable mum
Der of farmers seem to be interested
enough to write to them on the same
topic, they will be pretty careful to
e to it that their votes are on the
right side.
More than one important measure
has been carried or defeated in State
and national politics by the letters
sent in by the farmers. Without
doubt the oleomargarine law passed
a year ago was pressed to a success
full issue by the efforts of the farm
ers. The franchise tax bills intro
duced in the several States have all
been furthered to a successful issue
by the rural constituency of the Leg
i~slators, aided by an enlightened ru-
raj press.
The right of petition also belongs
peculiarly to the farming community.
And although the average legislator
nay say that he is absolutely indie
pendent of all such influences, we
may be sure that he will not consign
these forms of popular opinion to OBJ
livion without giving them his arm
est consideration, and the chances

ment or settling, or has a cloudy ap-
pearance, it is evidence that your
kidneys and bladder need immediate
attention.
Swamp-Root is the great discovery
of DR.. Kilmer, the eminent kidney
and bladder specialist. Hospitals
use it with wonderful success in both
slight and severe cases. Doctors rec
ommend it to their patients and use
it in their own families, because they
recognize in Swamp-Root the great
est and most successful remedy.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take

CLYDE Trials ENDED.
Neso Challenger again Shoes Her
self Fast Boat.

Gourock. Scotland, April 2-The third series
cf trials of Shamrock III was held to-day under
conditions similar to those of yesterday. The
wind had rather less strength. but it was fresh
and squally at times This welcomed.
yesterdays display of the challenger for the
Americas Cup left suspicion among some
yachtsmen that there might be conditions under
which Shamrock l could almost if not quite.
hold the new boat. The latters gear. which was
stretched under yesterdays strain. was set up
afresh yesterday evening.
The boats started on the first trial to-day
from off Toward Point. There sheets were
trimmed and they reached in close company till
abeam of Skelmorlie buoy, where they luffed
and beat to windward to Rothesay. three miles.
In Cross-tacking in fresh breeze the challenger
again showed great ability this important
point of sailing, and went further ahead and
further to windward on every tack, and in a
half hours sailing beat Shamrock 1 by four
minutes.
The next trial was spinnaker run down the
wind The breeze was steady and OF moderate
strength. Shamrock 1 received a lead of exact
ly minute. but in twenty minutes run the
challenger closed the gap, overlapped her and
ten minutes later had drawn clear ahead. the
distance covered being between four and five
miles
Although the challenger proved faster in this
the superiority expected. After starting an
other turn to windward. from Largs to Rothe-
say. about six miles Shamrock III again out
footed her opponent on every tack. The wind
freshened but. the fresher il became the better
IL seemed to suit the boat. which finished
this beat to windward half a mile ahead.
On turning the yachts set their spinnakers for
another trial down the wind Shamrock I was
about three minutes astern the start but with
a better wind from the bay. she shortened the
gap until she was barely two minutes behind
These positions were maintained to the end or
the run. Starting another beat back across
the firth. Shamrock III eXcelled all her pre-
vious performances on this point Of sailing. and
gained consdera bly, over mile IN beat of
about five miles. and when they squared away
for the run home she led by a mile and a half
On the broad, easy reach UP channel. Shamrock
had the advantage Of big reaching jibtopsail
against small similar sail on Shamrock III.
Nevertheless. the former was not able to hold
the challenger which dropped her rapidly
astern.
To-day's trials were planned the principle

were chiefly remarkable for the frs appearance
of the challenger under her spinnaker, which
contains more cloth than any ever made before.
