FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

A medicinal preparation like DR.. XII
mer's Swamp-Root, that has real curative
value almost sells itself. Like an endless
chain system the remedy is recommended
by those who have been benefited to those
who are in need of it.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is a physi-
clans prescription. It has been tested
for years and has brought results to count
less numbers who have suffered.
The success of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root
is due to the fact that it fulfills almost ev-
cry wish in overcoming kidney, liver and
bladder diseases, corrects urinary troubles
and neutralizes the uric acid which causes
rheumatism.

BRITAIN'S FOOD DICTATOR

Of all the members of the new
Lloyd George administration, the most
remarkable undoubtedly is Lord
Davenport, born the son of small
farmer or peasant at Uxbridge, in
Middlesex, and formerly errand boy
in a tea concern. He made fortune
in the grocery trade, outstripping his
rival, Sir Thomas Upton, who had to
remain content with a. mere baronetcy.
And now he is a peer of the realm.
But it was not as grocer that he
won fame. His chief title to distinction
was his administration of the port of
London. He disposed of the great
dock strikes which in 1912 paralyzed
things and threatened the metropolis
with famine.
Every pressure was brought on
that occasion to induce him to give
way to the strikers, but Lord Devon
port declined to surrender, although
Ben Tillett and other labor leaders
publicly urged the strikers to shoot
