WILSON URGES THAT
COLLEGES KEEP OPEN
Says Suspension Would Be
Against Public Inferest.

BLooMINGToN. Ind, June 9.-Presi-
dent Wilson is in favor OF American
colleges and universities continuing
their sessions. according to a telegram
received from him to-day by w. l..
Bryan. president OF Indiana University.
The telegram was in reply to one sent
by DR.. Bryan asking the President his
position on the question Of closing the
schools Of the country. President Will
son wired as follows:
In reply to your telegram I would
say I see no necessity whatever for
suspending the sessions of the coll
leges and universities and think that
such suspension would be very much
against the public interest,"
After receiving President Wilson s
telegram Dr. Bryan issued the follow
ing statement:
"Ore OF the chief services which the
colleges and universities should render
to the nation in this time Of war is to
keep going, And one of the best things
which students can do who are not
called into some form of military or
industrial service is to keep going to
the university. there TO receive training
which the nation requires. This Is evi.
IDENTIFY the view of President Wilson"
DIR. Bryan some time ago offered the
entire resources Of Indiana University
to the Government for war services.

nouncing that tho meeting was of
the utmost Importance.
It Is believed that one Of the
chief matters of discussion was
concerning the convocation of

lieved the crisis will be acute.
The Spanish Government has
recently been confronted with
both military and economic diff

tent among the army officers, who
desire a betterment of their con-
ditions, and there has been much
unrest among the workmen, with
threats of general strike.
The present Cabinet was
formed l-pril 10 of this year, with

OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy il
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify
No other kidney remedy that know Of
has 20 large sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of Dr.
kilmers' Swamp-Root is due to the fact
that, SO many people claim, it fulfils al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur-
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Address
