CHINESE BREAK IS EXPECTED
Both Houses Vote for Rupture With
Germany.

Picking, March a. - The Senate has
approved the severance Of relations
with Germany by vote of 152 to 81.
1t is expected that the government
will take action to this end immedi-
ately. The House previously has ap-
proved the projected break by vote
Of 131 to 81.
After the House had approved the
severance Of relations, the German
minister presented a note to the for
eign office offering to negotiate for the
protection of Chinese lives and prop
erty in the submarine zone
In official circles it is believed the
legation hoped through the note to
postpone the break. It had no infu-
ence on the cabinet and the Senate.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp-Root, Dr.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
ton, Overcomes Kidney Trouble

It 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 tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
fltering 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 a kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. It
is DR.. Kilmer's prescription used in pr.
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..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
