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 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 DIR. 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

L. ize that when their country's
flag is referred to as "Old
Glory" the adjective is not
| merely an expression of reverence and
affection, but is historically justified.
Strange as 1t may seem, considering
the comparative youth of the United
States as nation, the flag of the
United States is the oldest truly ma
tional ensign in existence.
While the name of the British
"Union Jack" dates from the union of
England and Scotland, in 170S, its de-
sign was changed in 1901, when the
| legislative union of ireland with Great
Britain was recorded, by adding the
red cross of st. Patrick to the earlier
combination of the crosses of St.
George and st. Andrew. The design of
the American flag has never been Off
cially changed since It's first adoption
on June II, 1777.
The continental congress on that day
resolved that the national ensign
should be one of 13 stripes, red and
white alternately, with union" of
blue, in which should be displayed 18
stars. These referred, of course, to
the 13 colonies which had united in
declaring their independence of Brit
ish rule. No provision was then made
for the recognition Of future states in
the flag. Probably they were not
thought of.
After the admission of Vermont and
and stripes. They do not seem to
have had any legislative sanction,
though they are said to have been
carried by some regiments in the War
of 1912. AS more states were admit
ted 1t was seen that 1t would not do
to keep on increasing the stripes, and
in 1918 congress made definite rule,
fixing the stripes at 13, with star for
each state.
The French trico1or is dozen years
younger than "Old Glory" What are
usually sold rs the German, Russian,
Italian and Spanish flags are devices
of the nineteenth century, created as
''mercantile" flags or in an effort to
find something that might be more
popular" than the "royal standard"
and also less complicated and expen-
sive. In fact, outside of the United
States, France and Britain, the recog-
milton of flags of nationality as some
thing distinct from attachment to a
''royal house" may be said to have been
a thought of the last century.
In this connection 1t may be noted
that the United States also has the
Oldest national military school of con-
tinuous existence. The French mill
tary schools, the first that were ina
tional" in any real sense, were sus-
pended at times during the great revo-
luton. But since its opening in 1902
West Point has seen no sun rise or
set without the customary morning and
evening salute to "Old Glory"

Famous Committee In Charge.
The committee having the flag prob
lem in charge consisted of George
Washington, Robert Morris and George
Ross.
1t is evident that the resolution, as
originally penned by Charles Thorn

gress, was not adopted, but that cor
rections were made. / have been I'M

dence, and the numerals 13 are figures

without comment is the history we
have of the edict which gave us "Old

Honor for Fort Stanwix.
The first flag constructed as mill
tary emblem, and carrying these heral-
die ideals, appears to have been con-
structed in rather unique manner.
The first flag which was patterned
after the resolution was adopted, and
which saw actual fighting, must he
credited to Fort Stanwix of New York.
News of those days Travelled slowly.
and while the resolution was adopted
by the continental congress on June
IA, 1777, the improyised flag was not
made until the latter part of July, and
on the second day of August, 1T77. it
floated over the fort (StanwiX, later
Fort Schuy4er). Amid loudest cheers
and military salutes it was emblaz-
oned in the sky to remain the emblem
Of justice and liberty.
But you ask: "What was there
unique about its construction" Well,
when the news came that the continen-
tai congress had finally decided upon
n banner the fort was without proper
flag. and it was too late to depend
upon congress to get one fashioned.
Problem for the Garrison.
Immediately the Ingenuity of the
colonial or continental garrison ar
ranged to improvise a standard as de-

Victor Essling, an attorney of Ev-
eleth also spoke, using as his topic the
advice of General Pershing: xiii the
damnable propaganda at home and I
will stop the Hun" G. w. Lawson,
secretary of the Minnesota State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor also spoke. The con-
Guiding GRAFTON was delivered by w. E.
McEwen, who spoke Of the nations
from early Rome to the present time,
showing how autocracy had always
fallen and how democracy had risen
in it's place. He predicted a world of
democracy and the eternal death of
autocracy. He was loudly applauded.
The speakers were introduced in turn
by E. G. Hall, president of the Fed
Grafton Of Labor. Victor l.. Power,
mayor of Hibbing, who was scheduled
to give the dedicatory address, was
unable to be present because of busi-
ness that detained him in Duluth.
Former Mayor Mike Boylan gave an
apostrophe to the flag and said that
he was going away soon and after he
would return that another star would
be added to the flag now being dedi-
Gated, meaning that he, too, intended
to enlist in the service Of his country

and democracy.
