tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of
the bladder, brick-dust or sediment in
the urine, head ache, back ache, lame
back, dizziness, sleeplessness, nervous
ness, or the kidneys themselves break
down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
better health In that organ is obtained
quickest by proper treatment of the kid
neys. Swamp-20Ot corrects inability to
hold urine and scalding pain in passing it,
and overcomes that unpleasant necessity
of being compelled to go often through
the day, and to get up many times during
the night. The mild and immediate effect
of Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest be-
cause of its remarkable health restoring
properties. A trial will convince anyone.
Swamp Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in ffty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have q
sample bottle and book that tells all
about it, both sent free by mail. Address,
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.
When writing mention reading this gen.
erous offer in this paper. Don't make
any mistake, but remember the name,
Swamp-Root, ard don'tlet dealer sell
you something in place of Swamp Root
if you do you will be disappointed.

Of students arc coming, and the White
House u besieged with requests. MT.
Taft il glad to grant them, and to receive
the young people whenever he can pos
stbly spare the time. An hour or two .
day would be required to shake hands
Just now. That il lot OF time for very
busy President to spare, when Congress-
men and many others arc pressing Tor
few moments' conversation with him.
Now that the troubles Of the House re-
publicans in getting organized haze been
settled satisfactorily, Representative Bur-
leigh is resuming his rounds OF the de-
partments on the errands OF his constitu-
ents. He footed it down to the postofiice
department the other day and persuaded
the authorities to put Mountainvilie, on
Deer Isle, back in the list of postoffices.
The department abolished the Office some
time ago, but the people there think they
are as much entitled to postal facilities as
ever, and in short order they will have
them again.

trict continge mt at the capitol.
Representative Burleigh is heavinga sigh
of relief because that troublesome census
bill is of his hands. During the last six
months he has devoted much time to it's
provisions, while they were under con-
sideration in committee. II the Senate
does not pass the bill. as the House passed
it, however, there will be q conference
committee, OF which Gov. Burleigh will
be one of the House members, and he will
have to sit at the council table, face to face
with Senator Fighting Bob" LsFoliette,
OF Wisconsin. The latter has recently been
put at the head OF the census committee Of
the Senate.
Gov. Burleigh was one of the first to
recommend that President Roosevelt's
recommendations that census appointees,
named to help take the new census in the
spring OF 1910 be selected through the civil
service commission. That provision,
which was the bone OF contention and led
to the veto OF the first census bill by
President Roosevelt, has now been incor-
porated in the bill.

Maine Congressman VIII Fight Re-

WASHINGTON, March n (special)-It 10
4 long time since the 500 Congressman
around the capitol saw Senator Hale, OF
Maine, out in the open, wsrrior-clad. he
has fought many legislative battle. FIRE.
quently he has been in Senate clashes
But usually his methods are quiet, leaning
to adjustments in the conference room
where differences are put to the test with
out particular display. Now the senior
Marie senator is right out In the middle
OF the way, inviting combat, and ready 10
put spear on the shield OF all corners. 80
all the capitol he interested to note the
outcome.
As all Maine knows by this time the
welfare OF the pulp and paper industry Oh
the Pine Tree state is hszarded by the
provisions OF the Payne tarin revision DILL
and MIR. Hale mas announced tnat ne Will
accept the chailens and try to put those
duties back. This promises to be very
difficult undertaking, because most OF the
states. where there are no pulp and paper
mills naturally think that the lowering OF
pulp and paper duties is good thing
The newspapers, or many OF them, claim
that it will make print paper cheaper
They have waged long campaign for
lower duties, and special committee oil
Congress investigated the matter ana
made recommendations that were sub
stantialiy embodied IN the Payne tarih
bill.

the price oil paper or not many question
whether it wouid-the new schedules, IL
the value Of nearly every woodlot in
Maine, as well as in several other states
which produce pulp wood. Senators Hale
and Frye are well aware OF that, rs well as
of the tendency the proposed law would
have toward lowering wages OF Maine
workmen, and OF giving Canada the ad-
vantage in the great paper and pulp in
dustries.
A good number OF senators and repre-
sentatives from other states are gathering
under Senator Hale's leadership. He al
ready has formidable following. There
is small hope Of accomplishing much in
the House, where the bill will probably
pass about as it was drawn, but the shock
OF battle is to be had in the Senate, where
there is more latitude for hot fighting.
Senator Frye yesterday said that the
removal Of the duty from wood pulp would
transfer that industry to Canada, and
stated that the 10000 men now employed
