COUNTY OPTION Law IS VALID.
MINNESOTA STATUTE UPHELD BY
SUPREME COURT.
Does Not Conflict with Home Rule
Charter Provisions of the
State Constitution.

st. Paul, Minnesota's coun-
ty option law is valid and does
not conflict with the home rule charter
provisions of the state constitution,
the state supreme court has ruled in
an opinion written by Commissioner
M. d. Taylor. The opinion sustains
Judge w. S. McClenahan of Brainerd,
who enjoined the mayor and council
of International Falls from issuing sa-
loon licenses, which they contemplated
doing in spite of the fact that Koochi-
ching county had voted dry.
Attorneys for the city claimed that
cities with home rule charters had a
constitutional right to handle the
liquor question for themselves. The
supreme court rules that when coun-
ty votes dry, the power to issue IL
censes is withdrawn from every muni-
cipality in the county. A decision
against the law would have restored
saloons to many cities in the state.
The court is unanimous in the decision.

KIDNEY TROUBLE
NOT RECOGNIZED

An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishiAg statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so COM
mon to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease.
According to this it would seem that
medicine for the kidneys, possessing real
healing and curative properties, would be
a blessing to thousands.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the well
known kidney, liver and bladder remedy,
is remarkably successful in sickness caused
by kidney and bladder troubles. 1t is mild
and gentle in its action and its healing in
fuence is soon noticed in most cases.
There is no other remedy like Swamp
Root. 1t will surely and effectively over
come kidney, liver and bladder troubles
and you can depend upon it. Go to any
drug store and get bottle so as to start
treatment today. You will soon see
marked improvement.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-AGv.
