The United. States has Done more for

SECRETS OF JURY
ROOM IN CRAFT
CASE LEAK OUT
Prosecuting Attorney Seeking
Source of Betrayal-Four
u Witnesses Missing.

COLUMBUS. o., May 9-The Frank
lin county grand jury met again today
TO consider the Legislative graft scandal,
Strenuous efforts are being made to
trace down the source of leaks in the
grand jury proceedings. 1t is believed
at the prosecuting attorneys Office that
someone IN the inside is betraying
secrets told in the grand jury room,
ard 1t Is supposed that the men who
are said to be trying to halt further in
quiry into legislative corruption are
being informed of the developments be-
fore the grand jury.
The graft scandal has already had a
tangible result. in that Attorney-Gen-
eral Hogan has ordered the State
Bureau of Accounting that telephone
bills of legislators are not to be paid
unless the conversation has been on
strictly official business. This will
mean a saving to the state, 1t is
claimed. of 81, 1000 a year.
When the grand jury met it was
found that four witnesses. who have
been subpoenaed outside of Columbus,
had not appeared. and it was decided
to await their coming. Other business
was taken up.

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to Win the
Peoples Confidence.

Have yo eve stopped to reason why
It is that so many products that are
extensively advertised all at once drop
out of sight and are soon forgotten?
The reason is p%lain-the article did not
fulfil the promises of the manufac-
turer. This applies more particularly
to q medicine. A medicinal prepara-
tion hat has real curative value al
most sells itself. as. like an endless
cnain system, the remedy is recon-
nIended by those who have been cured
to those who are in need of it.
In an into view on the subject a
prominent local druggist says: Take
for example DR.. Fn--er's Swamp-Root,
a preparation l have sold Cor many
years and never hesitate to recommend,
for in almost every case 1t shows inn
mediate results. as many of my GUS
toners testify. No other kidney rem
edy that / know of has so large a sale"
The success of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is due to the fact that it fulhls
every wish in overcoming kidney, liver
and bladder diseases, ~corrects urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
