Reed Smoot, U. s. Senator from
Utah, the State of many wives, has
added his testimony to that of others
that the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill has
had nothing to do with the increased
cost of living. These sentiments were
uttered at the banquet of the "Silk
Association" in New York last week.
Inasmuch, possibly, as the said Mr..
Smoot may not have invested in silk
dress apiece for the various Mrs.
Shoots, the causes of the high prices
of living have not exactly been brought
home to him as vet.

ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.

"The officers of the Associted Chair
ties of Staunton by direction of the
Board Of Managers, make an appeal to
the people of the city or to such of
them as have not already contributed
to the work now in hand. The severi-
ty of the weather and increased cost of
fuel and other necessities, with the
great difficulty of finding employment
at this time are bearing hard upon
many needy families and inviduals,
unwilling themselves to solicit aid, and
there is great deal of sickness"
Never in our recollection has the
number of poor been so great, nor has
such urgent appeal been issued as the
above. In addition to what the city
is doing at the aims house which is
more crowded than for years, the char
table societies and charitably disposed
people are lending hand. The above
society gives three reasons for the suff-
ering. "The severity of the weather,
the increased cost of fuel and other ne
cessities, with the great difficulty of
finding employment. All of these
things contribute. But with prosper
try everywhere else, and with the best
tariff laws ever passed, a wise and be-
nificent National party in power, our
Legislature in session, Gov. Mann in
the Executive mansion, and Speaker
Byrd working for a general uplift,
why this want? We ought to be hap
Ply and accomplishing under such
guidance.

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.R0ot 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 a
sample bottle and book that tells all
about it, both sent free by mail. Address,

any mistake, but remember the name,

you something in place of Swamp Root
if you do you will be disappointed.

it will prove good one, and that the

appointment, we are sure the corpora

MILITARY ENCAMPMENT.

Last week we referred to the fact
that it was generally understood that
the State military encampment would
go to Virginia Beach. We have moth
ing to retract in this matter. We, how
ever, find that there is considerable
effort being made to still induce =
change of the plan supposed to be
agreed upon. The question, we learn,
is to be put up to the military as to
whether they prefer the seaside or the
mountains as the place If the noun
tains should be decided on then a
mountain site will be chosen, and
Goshen will have chance. If better
site can be found, Goshen will lose.
We are of opinion, however, that the
mountains have no show.
