All BaIled Up
The decision of the WAYS and
Means Committee to tax all public
officials of any political sub division
whatever, brings up the important
question as to whether such a tax
would be constitutional Under
rule laid down by the Z. s. Supreme
Court some 75 years ago, it was held
that the State and Federal Ciovcrn-
ment could not tax the activities or
functions Of each other. and the
constitution provides that the sala-
rics OF Supreme Court Justices and
OF the President could not be in
creased or diminished during incum-
bency According to an official rui-
ing a tax constitutes a reduction OF
compensation, and under schedules
now drawn by the committee it
will cost the President $1,000 to hold
his office This would make Presi-

MISTAKEN TESTIMONY

Time is the test Of truth. And
Doan's Kidney Pills have stood the
test in Mt. Sterling. No Mt. Sterling
resident who suffers backache, or
annoying urinary ills can remain I'M
convinced by this twice-told testi-
mony.
Mrs. G. B. Nelson, 43 Richmond
st., Mt. Sterling, says: "Doan's Kid
ney Pills have been of great benefit
to me and if I hadn't used them /
would be still in misery today. suf-
fered with kidney trouble and my
back ached so it nearly drove me
wild. Ny kidneys didn't act right at
all. I felt tired and worn out from
the slightest work and the least
thing would worry me and bring on
nervous headaches. Doan's Kidney
Pills made me feel like a different
person"

On January 6, 1917, Mrs. Nelson

CAN'T CHEW TOBACCO.

Among the American soldiers who
have gone to France there has been
a decline in the American habit of
chewing tobacco, according to re-
ports, and Y. NJ. G. A. secretaries
who sell tobacco in canteens in
France say that modern warfare
rather than prejudice is responsible
for it. It's the gas mask that's done
the trick, they say. A devotee of the
plug is seriously embarrassed when
called upon to don the gas mask.
One southern soldier is said to have
put it like this: 'With terbacca
bitin' inside yer cheeks, the OF gas
mask anchored tween yer teeth,
mustard gas all about ye an no
chanel ter open yer mouth-war sure
is hell !-Charlotte Observer.

PHONE HAS ITS LIMITATIONS
This World Not Vet Being Ideal, One
Has No Right to Expect
Too Much.

Information" that mysterious
spirit to which one turns as to an
oracle, has been devoting 500 hours
a day in this city to answering ques-
tons that the questioner could have
answered for himself by looking in
the telephone book, observes New
York Evening Post. The company
respectfully suggests that 'informa-
ton" be employed as a court of last
rather than of first resort. AS things
are in this world, this must be al
lowed to be reasonable. But both it
and the discontinuance of "centrals"
passing the time of day with you are
concessions to the merely practical.
In an ideal world one would merely
lift the receiver off the hook, not
only to ask whether be had time to
catch the 7:55 or must try for the
8:18, but also to inquire what the
headlines of the latest editions Of
the newspapers said. In such world
there would be no bulky telephone
book that would fall of the table
Just as you reached the page where
the number was. You would say,
"Hello, central, give me x. Y. Jones,
just off Columbus circle" In small
towns one may actually do these in
credible things. But an attemp: 20
duplicate them in a city was doomed
to failure.

CONSCIENCE MADE HIM FEAR
Capitalist Could See Only Disaster In

Charles M. Schwab, the demo-

San Francisco:

had been 'navalizing the enterprise
with water. (And it was not all salt
water.
1--WE we're both Catholics. The ma
valizing got on our consciences. 1t
so happened that we each went to
confession to the same priest at the
same time, without the other know
ing. 1 was on one side of the con-
fessional, my friend on the other,
with the priest in between.
''The priest was Unexpectedly

Germany has loaned the Turkish
government 100000 Turks h
pounds. When the war is over a
ton of German money will be worth
the price of disfgured paper. There
will be bankrupt government, a
bankrupt royalty, and a bankrupt
people. All the loot stolen from other
countries must be returned. All the
hooters must be stripped. This is a
Hohenzollern war and the Hohen-

OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t 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 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 l 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 fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur-
mary troubles and neutralzes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

Swamp Root by Parcel Post. Address
