What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH.

Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of
serious illness, makes a chemical analy-
sis OF the patients urine. He knows that
unless the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow: According to health sta
tistics, Bright's Disease, which is really
an advanced form of kidney trouble,
caused nearly ten thousand deaths in one
year, in the State of New York alone.
Therefore, it is particularly necessary to
pay more attention to the health of these
important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
bic success as a kidney remedy
is DR.. kilmer>s Swamp-Root the great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
The mild and healing influence of this
PREPARATION. in most cases, is soon real
ICED, according to sworn statements and
verified testimony of those who have used
the remedy.
When your kidneys require attention,
get owamp- Root at once from any phar-
macy. It is sold by every druggist in
bottles of two sizes Soc and $l.OO.
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. Adv.

WOULD HEAL BY C0LOR'S AID
Avoid Red, Green and Brown in Hos
pitfalls, Is the Advice Given
by Artist.

81. Kemp Prosser, who designed the
two interiors in the French play LA
bergette" at the Garrick theater,
thinks persons who wish to retain
their vitality and normality in war
time should avoid certain colors, says
a London correspondent of the New
York Herald.

boil Of murder, hate and cruelty. Sage
green means vileness. and brown de-
cav.
Lemon yellow, on the other hand,
suggests to persons who are sensitive
to color influence, life and light. That
is why I suggest this color should
dominate color schemes in hospitals
and homes for wounded soldiers.

diers the symbolic colors used were
lemon yellow. mauve, sapphire, tur-

Motor Trucks to Market,

With the possible exception of the
territory around Boston, motor trucks
are now giving better service in South
New Jersey than in any other part of
the country. That is noted farm and
garden section with good roads and
producing crops which must be hauled
promptly to market. One farmer, find
ing railroad facilities unsatisfactory,
sends his motor truck with produce 90
miles to market night after night, and
out Of all this may come partial solu-
ton of transportation troubles. It is
very doubtful if there will ever be an
other extended trolley line built in
New Jersey, because the auto pas
senger service will take it's place. Mo-
tor truck service will, in like manner,
absorb more and more of express and
freight traffic and dc it cheaper and
with better satisfaction to the shipper.

New Northumberland.

new telegraph instrument has been
Invented by means of which any tele-
graph operator may send messages in
the Morse code over an ordinary tele-
phone. This new instrument can be
attached to any telephone and the con-
nection between it is purely mechani-
cal. 1t does not require any additional
electric circuits. The telephone key has
a pivot at the end. 1t produces a sharp
distinct sound and is connected with
the metal case of the telephone by two
clamps. It is claimed that Morse sig
nails sent by this instrument. carry
longer distances than the human voice
over long distance telephones, so the
telephone-telegraph can be of great
value in both supplementary and in
verifying telephone conversation.

"AS MUCH FIGHT IN AMERICA
AS IN ANY NATION IN WORLD
We Have Held OF from CONFEDERATION
In Europe Because We Wanted to
Play Different PART" Execu-
tive Says-Prepared to Use
Force to Keep Peace.

Omaha, Oct. T. President Wilson
came into the Middle West for the
first time since the campaign began
and received what his political lieu
tenants characterized the greatest re-
ception of his career. He declared for
the "unshackeling" of American bust.
ness in order that it may meet the
competition Of the world after the Eu-
fopean war and cited legislation Of
his administration as going far in this
direction.
1T would be very difficult to do jus.
tice to an occasion of this kind" be-
gan the president.
Doors to United States Open.
He spoke of the Importance of the
West and praised the people who came
from Europe to seek freedom The
doors to the United States, he said,
were built to be kept open, not to be
closed.
Since 1880, when internal frontiers
in the United States disappeared, the
President declared, America has taken
on new aspect and the nation has
been growing closer together. It was
no coincidence, he said, that SOON att.
erward interest was shown in Cuba,
the Philippines and Porto Rico.
Even since then," he continued,
I'VE have been caught inevitably in
the net of the politics of the world.
Therefore, want to discuss our con.
nection with the rest of the world at
present and in the future.
Hold OF From con1lagatfon

be no program without unified course
behind it. It is very important that
the statesmen Of other nations should
understand America. We have held
OF from the conflagration in Europe
because we wanted to play differ
ent part"
The President was interrupted by
applause and shouts of 1--WE thank
you!"
But Europe should understand u.s.
the President said. Eve are holding
off because when we use the force OF
this nation, we want to know what
we are using it for.
Ready to Fight to Keep Peace.
There is as much fight in America
as In any nation in the world. We
want all the world to know that we
are ready to use all our force to main
tain peace among mankind. The start
Ing Of wars can never again be the prl-
vate concern of any one nation. We
must Use all our forces, moral and
physical, to uphold a league Of ma.
tons, to uphold the peace OF this
world"
The President declared there was
no use fighting over petty things. He
discussed the attitude of George
Washington on entangling alliances,
saying he did not believe Washington
meant the United States should not
come into contact with the world.
