CURE YOUR HAY THE E.e WAY.

Hay stems are hollow, evaporating
tubes through which more or less of
the appetizing ingredients of the hay
are lost If improperly cured. Just as
the wheat stubble represents so many
little chimneys for the evaporation of
moisture from the ground. so the hol-
low tubes of hay stems to a degree
increase evaporation, leaving the stalk
and leaves dry, pithy and tasteless un-
less the hay Is properly handled. This
year America is expected to produce
maximum results from every acre.

VETS SCORE VICTORY
in DELAY ON MEASURE
Hearings on Sheppard Bill Put Of
Until Tuesday.
DRYS BEHIND NEW CALL
Are Lining Up Independents to Keep
Balance of Power.

Anti-prohibition forces claimed moral
victory last night In the announcement
of the House District Committee sthat
the Sheppard-Barkley bill viii not be
called up for public hearings until next
Tuesday.
The prohibition forces desire speed.
They want the Sheppard bill. which has
already passed the Senate, called up as
soon as possible IN the House. Legisla-
tive days are limited and there is much
imperative business that Congress must
act upon. Any delay means that the
chances for the enactment Of the saloon
less Capital measure at this session are
lessened.
The prohibition forces are believed to
Representative-elect Randall. of Cali
fornia, for meeting of the Independent
members of the sfxty-nfth Congress.
He invited Representatives Martin, of
Louisiana; Schau, of Minnesota, and
London. of New York, and members
elect. Miss Jeanette Rankin, of Montana
NJ. Clyde Kelly. of Pennsylvania, and
Alvin T. Fuller. of Massachusetts,, to
meet at room 31s Of the House once
building, next Tuesday night, when the
proposition OF banding together as the
balance of the power In the next Con-
gress viii be considered.
Fuller was elected as an independent,
but has progressive tendencies and comes
from q prohibition district Kelly has
been counted as certain to vote Demo-
cratic organization OF the House. Miss
Rankin was elected on a Republican
ticket and Is relied upon to support the
@. O. p. choice for Speaker. Representa-
tive London. It is said, will either vote
present" or register his choice for the
Democratic nominee for Speaker, Champ
Clark
With the organization OF the Sixty-nfth
Congress 50 tight, it was whispered last
night that the real purpose of the meeting
is to win support for the Sheppard bill
during the present session.
The District Committee voted eight to
six to begin the hearings on the bill next
Tuesday. Representative Ragsdale tried
to have the legislation advanced so that
IT would be considered Immediately, but
was voted down.
Indications are that despite the action
OF the District Committee. the legisls on
can hardly become law before the ad-
Journment Of the present session, ST e a
determined fight and possibly a flii ster
will be arranged when the measure gain
comes before the Senate for the ra, Tea

MUSIC ROLLS QUICKLY MADE
Useful Machine Designed Especially
for the Use of Retail Dealers
Recently Put on the Market.

Designed especially for the use of
retail dealers, a compact machine that
perforates music rolls for use in play
er pianos is being introduced. The APP
paratus is described in the Popular
Mechanics Magazine. 1t Is capable of
making from one TO 16 records at a
time from sheet music, and will also
turn out copies of any standard roll.
Its operation is said TO be SO simple
that satisfactory work can be done by
persons who are NOT musicians. The
particular advantage of the machine
seems TO be that 1t enables small
dealer to I'LL his customers orders
promptly without having 10 carry q
large, expensive stock. It also obyi-
ates the Inconvenience that confront
patrons when special orders have to
be mailed to a factory before their
wants can be supplied. Since 16 sheets
can be perforated simultaneously, a
dealer in making a roll to order has an
to add Is records TO his
stock with no expense other than the
bare cost of the paper and spools.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root, DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
tion, 0vercomes Kidney Trouble

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to a re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. 1t
is DR.. Kilmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get bottle from your druggist.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
