Vim the aged Sultan was strickez. with a serious aiIment last June, the Genan government hastily dispatched Prof, James Israel, the distinguished surgeon to his bedside. For time Professor Israel feared that the Sultan's end was near, but at length he ventured an operation, which is said to have been completely successful.

Stranded Americans are lax in re- paying Uncle Sam the loans made to aid them in returning from the war one.

 The local directory fails to record these names and in the first two in stances no such persons live at ad- dresses given.

TO ASK CONGRESS /. FOR LAW TO CURB
 WILD SPECULATION

How to curb speculation and stock watering in railroad securieties is one of the problems which Congress will be asked to, consider this winter-a problem ranking in importance, it is the belief in Washington, with nation al defense and conservation. It is a question which has long been before the legislators at the National Capitol.
 Recent investigations into the realm
 Of railroad high finance have demon
 strated that unless this abuse is check ed absolutely, the public will be fore
 ed to pay unnecessarily high freight
 and passenger rates, and that the rail
 road workers of the country will not
 receive the raise of pay which they
 should.
 In the opinion of impartial econom- ists, the federal regulation of the is
 suance of railroad securities will be
 no interference with the rights of ] capital Without public reguIati on neither the investor in railroad stocks and bonds the consumer, or the wage earner will secure their share of pros perity. It is generally acknowledged that our railroads are overca apitalized when their actual investment is compared
 with their security issues. The ten dency has been for the corporation
 promoters, in both the industriaa1 and i the transportation field to capitalize not only actual but potential earning power. Through methods of selling 1 securities, and affiliations with bank l ing houses, unnecessary additions to capital have been made by bonuses to 1 stockholders, by declaring stock divi- dends and by the paveme ent of exces- sive underwriting commissions. The
 result has been the increase in earn ings. which, after, the payment of a proper reward to capital, should be | available as a ground for the consum- l CT receiving lower prices, or the wage earneE and saIaried employe securing g higher rates of compensation, are ab- sorbed by the necessity of making in terest or dividend payments on fict- titious security issues.
 The syndicates which float indust-
 rial and transportation securities dis pose of them to investment packers,
 who, in turn, sell them to individual investors or to savings banks, life in-
 surance companies, or the custodians
 of other trust funds Withs the ten
 dency to capitalize not only real but
 prospective earning power, any unfor-
 seen change or depression, in business
 or industrial conditions, as that
 through which we have recently pas sed, tends more quickly to prevent the payment of dividends or interest charges than would be the case if the securities represented an actual invest
 m ent or a conservative capitalization of earning power. The curtailmenti of dividends at the present time, as a, re-
 suit of the European conflict is a case in point.

DOG TAX WARRANTS
 SENT TO TOWNS

Hartford, Nov Estate Treasurer F. s. Chamberlain is sending his war rants to the towns of the state for their dog license money. This should have been done some months ago, but owing to the delay by six or eight towns in reInitting, the treasury de- partment has been unavoidably de- layed in the matter~
 A law passed by the last session of the Legislature calls for interest at g per cent on, such delayed payments from the towns and, as a consequence the treasurer expected them to be more prompt in future years. Last years fees from this source to be dis ributed by the treasurer amounted to $61 S81 s.

Many Children Suffer
 From Kidney Trouble

Three. years ago my little girl, Angela was taken sick with scarlet fever and later dropsy set in; her face and limbs swel1ed and her eyes puffed. A leading physician here at the time, treated her withou the slightest sue cess A sample of your Swamp-Root having been left at the house at the time, resolved to try it, and as it agreed with her stomach I continued using it with gratifying results. The inflammation began to subside after he had taken the first ffty-eent bottle, and after she took two large bottles she was pronounced cured by the doc tor and has been in good health eyer since. The doctor came to see her every day and examined her every sec ond day until he pronounced her kid neys in perfect condition
 :, Now then the doctor was under the impression that I was giving my girl his medicine, but as his medicine had failed to do bit of good, and desiring not to offend him, I did not tell him was giving her Swafmp-Root' and he did not know the difference. I did not use one drop of his medicine after started my girl on Swamp-Root, and have always felt that. pr. Ki1mer's s Swamp-Root saved my girls life, for which I am grateful.
