WOMEN SUFFERERS may
NEED SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and
never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmers' Swamp Root, physicians pre-

be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.

are belts of all degrees of width. There
Is still the beltless frock that has a

is to emphasize the normal waistllne,
however, and this probably means the
persistence of the separate belt Of

VANDVER AND YATES
ADDRESS LARGE CROWD

W. D. Vandiver, Assistant Treas
urer of the U. s., and former Gov
ernor Richard D. Yates, Of Spring
field, ILL.,, a son of a former Governor
Of Illinois, addressed a large audi
.ence in the Circuit Court room Satur-
day afternoon in the interest Of the
second issue of the Liberty Loan
Bonds.
The speakers e appropriately in
troduced by John T. Stewart, Sec
rotary of the Mexico Chamber of
Commerce.
Both gentlemen made eloquent ap-
peals in behalf of the Liberty Loan
Bonds. Their remarks were Of a
high patriotic character and they
stressed the safety of the investment
and the necessity of having sufficient
funds to conduct the war for the per-
petuation of liberty here and its
spread throughout the world.
The audience was most responsive
and all who heard the speakers left
the meeting imbued with the spirit of
patriotism. No doubt the sale of
the second issue of bonds will be ma
terially increased by their appeal.
This was the opening gun in a two
weeks intensive selling campaign,
which will take take in all parts Of

Voting Themselves Exemption

Two statements have come from
Washington relative to the income tax.
One is to the effect that exemptions
for married men will apply to earn
ings of $4,000 a year. Quite a diff
%ferent, and later report, is that the
exemptions have been cut down to
$1,000. Tht patriotic congressman
who voted the new income tax were
careful to have their salaries exempt
ed. Members of both houses receive
$500 a year and are allowed $1,000
a year for clerk hire, or such as they
choose. In any event, they are allow
ed to draw $1,000 a year in addition
t, their salaries, and if they want
some help, they can do so to the ex-
tent of the additional allowance. 1t
may be all right for congressman to
vote themselves into the exempted
class, but one and all of them will
have a hard time convincing the public
of the fact. - Jefferson Citq Demo-

Why Colds Are Dangerous

1t is not only the serious diseases
that so often start with a cold that
make a cold the most dangerous of
the minor ailments, but the fact when
a child has a cold he is much more
likely to contract germ diseases such
as scarlet fever and diphtheria-
For this reason every cold should be
gotten rid of as quickly as possible.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
gained a wide reputation for its quick
cures of bad colds. You will look a
long time before you find a better
preparation for that disease.
