OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR Weak KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to r.ason
why it is that so many products that
are extensively 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 q medicine, A medi-
cinal preparation that has real cura-
tive value almost sells itself, as Ike
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 "Ta5ze
for example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, a preparation l have sold for
many years and never hesitate to rec
ommend. for In almost every case it
shows excellent results, as many OF
ny customers testify. No other kid
1ey remedy that I know OF hsE so
large sale"
According to sEern stAteneub and
verified testimony Of thousands HIdo
have used the preparation. the sue
cess OF DR.. Kilmer's SWamp-aoo is
due to the fact that. so many people
claim, it fulfilS almost every Wish in
overcoming kidney, liver and bladdS:
ailments. corrects urinary troubles
and nsUtra1izeS the uric acid which
causes rheumatism.

The Times-Record at Spencer, which
was recently burned out. reports that
it is encountering many perple1ing diff
ficulties in attempting to re-establish
its plant. In the main they are due to
the desperate tie-up OF railway trans
portation.
Until we had forwarded the cash
for a new linotype, the manufacturers
assured US the machine could be
promptly shipped by express. The
company now very calmly informs us
that the express company will not re-
ceive the machine. and suggests that
we should appeal 10 the government
for permission to ship. This gives US
another reason for opposing govern
ment ownership, which would force
shippers to make repeated appeals to
the politicians at Washington.

!ARM|STICE DELEGATES HEAR TERMS
REALIZE Extent OF GERMAN DEFEAT

Paris, Nov. 9, 500 a. m.-Gernany's
armistice delegates were received by
Marshal Foch yesterday morning at 8
o'clock in a railroad car, in which the
commander in chief of the allied
forces has his headquarters, accord
ing to the Petit Journal. When. the
Germans credentials had been open
ed and verified, Matthias Erzberge-,
leader of the enemy delegation, speak
ing in French, announced that the
German government had been advised
by President Wilson that Marshal
Foch was qualified to communicate to
them the allies conditions and had
appointed them plenipotentiaries t.
take cognizance of the terms and
eventually sign an armistice.
Marshal Foch then made the terms
IN a loud voice, dwelling upon each
word. The Germans were prepared
by semi official communications for
the stipulations, as a whole, but hear
ing set forth in detail the concrete
demands seemed to bring to them for
the first @me full realization of the
extent of the German defeat.
They made a few observations mere
~ pointing out material difficulties
standing in the way Of carrying out
some quiet secondary clauses. Then
Erzberger asked for a suspension of
hostilities in the interests of human
ity. This request Marshal Foch fiat
ly refused.

MOTION PICTURES IN CHURCH.

Some people object to the motion
picture being shown in the church
and especially on SUNDAY evening. Thu
First Methodist church, at the corner
of Fairfield avenue and Broad street,
has tried the experiment and finds no
reason for disseminating the practice.
The picture is shown at 1880 every
Sunday evening. 1t is as harmless
to look upon as Sunday night sun
set. is always profitable and pleasing
and instructive The regular SER
vice Immediately follows the picture
and loses none of its influence in
worship or religious effectiveness. The
sermon subject tomorrow evening viii!
be: Heroes Without HEROES
Tomorrow morning the pastor will
present the United War Work Cam
paign and speak upon THE Value Of
a New Impulse" At II, the Mems
Assembly will meet and greet one Of
their members who has recently re-
turned from the front. He was wound
ed at Chateau Thierry and will tell
the men all about it.
Tonight at the Community Service
the third installment of the Lincoln
pictures will be shown. They will
present some of Mr.. Lincolns White
House experiences and the real Lin
coin will be seen in the humor and
pathos of some of the situations.
These pictures are of great historical
value and are being greatly appreciat-
ed by the public. The admission is
free but a silver offering is asked TO
help in paying the expense.
