OUTBURS1 Of
RE|CHSTAC s
MOST LIKELY
FIREWORKS OF THE GERMAN
BRAND EXPECTED-WILL PRO-
TEST AGAINST FAILURE no Full
FILL MANY PROMISES.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-There may
be some fireworks of the German brand
when the reichstag meets in Berlin to-
morrow.
1t will be the first session of the
German parliament since Chancellor
George Michaelis was inducted into Of
fee in July. The Centrists and mem
bers of the Left party combined at that
time in demands that the government
state it's position on the reichstag for
mua of peace without annexations, 4"
and also that equal suffrage be granted.
The upshot was the tumbling from
power of Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg. Michaelis was appointed,
made a non-committal address to the
reichstag outlining his policies, and
tile reichstag sitting adjourned.
Since that time considerable oppo-
sition has developed against Michaelis,
according to word which has just leak
ed out of Germany Certain of the ex-
treme radical elements in Germany
have not hesitated ato declare that
Michaelis is even mo representative
of the militarists than Hollweg. His
refusal to date clearly to outline his
policies have made even the near-radi-
cas- distrustful of him. DR.. Matthias
Erzberger, the Clerical (Catholic)
leader, who assumed leadership of the
"revolters" in the July session of the
reichstag, has been quoted as severe
y critical of Michaelis.
Erzberger, Catholic, is undoubtedly
anxious that Germany go the limit in
voicing acceptance of Pope Benedict's
ecent peace suggestions. He may seek
to force Michaelis' hand on this mat
ter.
Over all, however, it appears that the
"revolters" may be beginning to realize
the sweeping reforms promised by
TIE kaiser are still empty promises,
and that Hollweg has been replaced by
an even stronger militarist taskmas-
ter, from whom there is not the slight
est hope of obtaining any concessions
towards democratization.
The September session of the reich
stag will at once face the question of
financing Germany for the next year
of the war. Approval of the budget is
virtually the only power which the
reichstag exercises. The budget should
in the ordinary course of events, have
been approved at the July sitting, but
its consideration was postponed in
view of the radical revolt. The radi-
Gals, if they are truly in earnest, have
, it in their power, beginning tomorrow
seriously to embarrass the autocratic
government by Withholding approval of
the money measure.
According to word from Holland anG
Switzerland the reiohstag members are
likely also to attempt exp ahation
from the chan etllor of the Luxburs in
cident at Buenos Aires, wherein the
United States discovered that the Ger
man charge was sending messages to
hrs home Cffice through the Swedish
embassy Reichstag members will pro-
baby be more concerned in why Count
Luxburg was untactful enough to send
! the opinions he did in the fashion dis
covered by the United States.
Germany's food administration APP
pears likely also to come in for con-
siderable criticism.

n PUUIIC pIHy gTUUIIU.
An auditorium,

There are other projects, probably
Just as important, that will also be
reached, but these are three that the
members of the Chamber of Commerce
are determined to have.
Most important of all is the auditor
ium.
Last nights meeting of the business
council of the chamber, attended by %
cut of the 40 members, in spite of the
rain, was one of the most enthusiastic
ever had, and it developed the fact that
the membership is pervaded with a
spirit of determination, that is expect
eJ to lead to great achievements for
Americas and Sumter county
First Of all, it was decided to have
ia monthly luncheon for the business
council. This will take place at the
Hotel Windsor on definite date, and
each member will be assessed his. pro-
rata share whether he attends or not.
1t is planned, however to have more
talking, along constructive lines, than
eating at these affairs.
! More meetings of the full member
ship were also decided upon.
The meeting first reviewed the work
the chamber has done, the work it is
now doing, and the contemplated pro-
gram for the body. This was done by
Chairman Tracey Cunningham, and
then by the secretary, Mr.. p. A. Fenni-
more, in a splendid report which elicit
ed applause and appreciation from all
present. Then various members were
called upon for snort, suggestive talks,
and among those responding were
Messrs. Hollis Fort, J. e. Mathis,
Stephen Pace, viii Jones, Franc Man
gum and others.
Mr.. Fort discussed the probability
of landing the Americus & Atlantic
railroad extension, end told what work
had been done iu its behalf by the
Chamber of Commerce and it's secre-
tary He paid glowing tribute of ap-
probation to Secretary Fennimore.
Mr.. Mathis declared, as did Mr.. Fort
also, that there was not enough inter
est among the members in support Of
the Chamber of Commerce, and that
the body should be stimulated to
lgreater activity. He suggested that
one matter at time be taken up and
completed, and that in this way pro-
gram of successful achievement could
be followed
Stephen Pace made number OF
helpful suggestions regarding plans for
arousing more interest and accomplish
ing more, and it was on his motion
that it was decided to have monthly
luncheon for the business council.
1t appeared to be the unanimous SEN
timent of those present that the Cham
ber of Commerce should be put on a
more solid basis, with a fuller de-
gree of support than has been accord
ed it heretofore. Various members
confessed that they had not given the
chamber the support it was entitled to
receive and they promised a greater
measure of cooperation in the future,

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 a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
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 so large a 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
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.
Large and medium size bottles for sale
at all drug stores.-Adv.

OUR BOYS IN FRANCE AND

The men on the firing line represent
the pick of our American youth. One in
four of our boys at home was sick, re-
Jected because of physical deficiency.
Many times the kidneys were to blame.
If we wish to prevent old age coming
on too soon, or If we want to increase
our chances for a long life, DR.. Pierce of
the Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, says
that you should drink plenty of water
daily between meals Then procure at
your nearest drug store Anuric double
strength). This An-u-ric drives the uric
acid out and cures backache and rheuma-
tism.
II we wish to keep our. kidneys in the
best condition a diet of milk and vege-
tables, with only little meat once day,
Is the most suitable. Drink plenty of
pure water. take Anuric three times a day
for a month.
Step into the drug store and ask for
a 60c package of Anuric, or send DR..
Pierce 10c for trial pkg. Anuric, many
times more potent than lithia, often elm
mates uric acid as hot water melts su-
gar. A short trial will convince you.
