AUSTRIAN MINISTER'S.

Amsterdam, April 18 (via Lon
don).-The Vienna newspapers an
nounce that Dr.. Urban, minister of
commerce, and DR.. Baernreither,
minister without portfolio, have re-
signed. Dispatches from Germany
connect the resignation with the
convocation of the Austrian parIia-
ment next month, which they say
is considered in German circles as
inopportune in view of political
events abroad.
There have been several recent
designations from the Austrian cab
met. Early In the present month
the ministers of justice, war and
finance surrendered their portfolios
as the result of graft scandal in
connection with army food supplies.
The emperor refused to accept the
resignation of the minister of
justice, Won Schenk. Shortly after
wards General Won krobatin, the
Austro- Hungarian minister of war,
resigned.

 Mrs. s. P. Reynolds, Benton St. Stafford Springs. says: 1T was never without a dull, constant pain in the small of my back. It bothered me all of the time and was very nervous. If stopped over sharp pains seized me and it would be hard to straighten up. When doing any work my back became weak and achy.

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED


An examining physician for one of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is 90 com.
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Killler's Swamp Root s
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp-Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad-
wise our readers who feel in need of such q
remedy to give it trial. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
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
mention this paper-Adv.
