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 re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
altering 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. 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..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for q
sample bottle. When writing be sure and

COMMITTEE REPORTS UNFAvoR.
ABLY ON BILL TO REPEAL
OFFSET TAX REVISION. :,
AMENDMENT is OFFERED
Senator Would Change Resolution
LegaIizine Political Party Con-
ventions-Substitut for
Insurance Rates.

Madison-The legislative joint COM
mittee on finance recommended to
the senate that the Bray bin, No. 49,,
repealing the law providing that per-
sonal property taxes shall be an offset
against income taxes, be indefinitely
postponed. The report of the finance
committee was not accompanied by
statement of the committee proceed
ings on the bill or the vote of the
committee on the motion to recon-
mend it for indefinite postponement.
Senator Bray, author of the meas
ure, moved that the committee be re-
quested to file such a statement with
it's report and the motion prevailed.
Senator Bray offered an amendment
to his political party convention bill,
and the bill and amendment were
then re-referred to the committee in
charge of it for further consideration.
The amendment provides that ''a po-
litical party convention may, by ma
jority vote or by minority vote OF at
least one-third of the number of dele
gates present and voting, indorse the
candidacy of any person who consents
to become a candidate for nomination
and who declares himself in substan-
tial accord with the platform adopted
by the convention, but no action is to
be taken by the convention which
shall conflict with the primary cleo
ton law or present the selection of
candidates at any primary"
Senator Skogmo introduced sub
stitute for his bill presented earlier IN
the session, creating a bureau for fix

would make better law. He said that
there was no difference of opinion.

Skogmo bills are now before the sen

NEW MOVE TAKEN
FOR SALARY RAISE
ASsEMBLYMAN HART OF oSH-
KosH HAS JOINT RESOLUTION
FOR ANNUAL SESSION.
PAY TO BE $1,000 PER DAY
Legislators Would Be Paid for Actual
Attendance onIy-Total Not to
Exceed Five Hundred Dol
lars a Year.

Madison-The movement to increase
the salaries of members of the legisla-
ture took new turn when Assembly
man Charles Hart, Oshkosh, announc-
ed that he would introduce a joint
resolution for annual sessions of the
legislature, the members to receive
$40 per day for actual attendance, the
total salary to be paid each member
not to exceed $500 for the annual ses.
sion. This would bring about the in
crease of $500 many members are adj
vocating.
Harris resolution would amend the
law which says that legislators shall
receive no stationery, newspapers or
postage. The fact that the state now
furnishes these articles, Hart says, is
a violation of law which should be
done away with by an act of the leg
islature. He takes the position that 1t
is proper for the members to accept
these little favors from the state, but
in doing so they should not be placed
in the light of violating the law.
Senator Jennings introduced bill
creating a state board of county judges
to consist of all of the county judges
of Wisconsin, which is to meet annu-
ally and make rules and regulations to
promote the administration of the jul
dicial business of county courts in the
state. The first meeting of the board
is to be held in Milwaukee on the last
Thursday in June, 1917.
Senator Jennings also presented a
bill increasing the term of appoint
ment of the warden of the state prison
from one to five years

LEGISLATURE WORKS SLOW

Statutes Since Beginning of the
Present Session.

Madison-Though the 1917 Wiscon-

STATE CABINET BILL KILLED

Madison-The senate by vote of FL
to IL killed the Bray joint resolution
for a constitutional amendment en-
towering the governor to appoint the
secretary of state, state treasurer and
attorney general.
Senator Bray made long argument
in favor of the resolution. He said
that the system of appointing state Of
ficers prevailed in number of states.
He said that the system had worked
out satisfactorily.
j. The Schultz resolution providing
that the Supreme court of Wisconsin
shall not declare any law unconstitu-
tional, except by vote of at least all
but one member of the court, was laid

Index of Greatness.

Concern for the common good is an
index of greatness. Few people can
exercise it without being misjudged.
No one can intelligently minister to the
common good without knowing the
facts. Seek to learn them and people
will accuse you Of Interior motives.
Inquire into the ways of life and you
will be dubbed a meddler. Most folks
are from the regions of the muddy
river when it comes to common uplift.
1t takes a man with more than the or
binary vision to venture into the up
lifting process. 1t takes a man with
real desire to help mOrtals who Will
be willing to help when those whom
he would help are the ones that &C
cuse him most. The weak and fear
full soon quit Only the men too big
for dlscouragements continue. It's
continuance in unappreciated good
works that gives the measure of
man.

WOULD SAVE BEER INDUSTRY
Only Liquors Containing More Than
Ten Per Cent of Alcohol
Would Be Barred.

Madison-A new element incident to
the move to make Wisconsin dry
promises to develop in the form of an
amendment to the bill for a statewide
referendum on prohibition.
An amendment prepared by mem
Der of the assembly will suggest a
change in the form of the referendum
by which, if the bill passed the legisla-
ture and met with the Endorsement Of
the people, beverages containing no
more than 10 per cent alcohol would
be exempt, this being along the line of
the Bruce bill pending in the legisla-
ture of Illinois.
Under such regulatory provision,
the sale of beer and light wines would
be permitted, but stronger beverages,
or those containing more than 10 per
cent alcohol, would come under the
ban.

1t was a snowy day, and the snow
was soft and light. Gyp and Pat were
both white fox terriers; Pat had one
black spot on his back, and Gyp had
brown spot over one eye. But in the
snow they looked almost as white as
the snow did.
Lets play snowballs," said Pat.

They frolicked in the snow, and they

Then they would take turns in play

a little snow.
Then he would stay quite still until
the dog who had covered him up would
bark,
"Wake up, wake up you sleepy head,

are dead"
With bound they'd both start play

Such time as they had. Soon two
little girls came walking by. They
were both carrying books and pencil
boxes, for they had been to school.
"There's Pat" said the little girl
named Helen.

the very best of friends, and their
