OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products that
are extensively advertised, all at once
drop out of sight and are soon forgot
ten? The reason is plain-the article
did not fulfil the promises of the man
ufacturer. This applies more particu-
IarIy to a medicine. A medicinal prep
aration that has real curative value al
most sells itself, as like an endless
chain system the remedy is recon-
mended by those who have been bene-
flied, to those who are in need Of it.
A prominent druggist says, "Take
for example DR.. Kilmer's SWamp-ROOt,
preparation [ have sold for many
years and never hesitate to recon-
mend, for in almost every case it shows
excellent results, as many Of my Gus
toners testify. No other kidney rem
edy that I 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.. KiImer's Swamp-RoOt is due to
the fact that, so many people claim, it
fulflls almost every wish in ovecom-
ing kidney liver and bladder ailments,
corrects urinary troubles and neutral
ICES the uric acid which causes rheu-
matism.
You may receive a sample bottle OF
SwampRoOt by Parcels PostI Ad-
dress DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton
N. Y, and enclose ten cents; ALSO men

and medium size bottles for sale at al

LJNElSY DAYS

So closely is the German emperor
guarded when he travels by rail
through Belgium that his movements
are kept even from the railroad Off
Gals handling his train up to the last
possible moment, according to cor
respondent of the London Chronicle,
who has several times witnessed the
emperors arrival.
whenever the passage of the i'm
perial train is to take place the fact
is not known to the chief railway Off
cial until the same day, and to his
subordinates not until quarter OF an
hour before the arrival" the CORE
spondent says. SIN the station the
lines are all kept free"
Describing one such arrival of the
emperor's train, the correspondent
says: CALI workmen, on this occa-
sion, whether Belgian or German, were
dispatched outside, and access to the
station was forbidden. This applied
to all passengers as well. The mill
tary guards occupying parts of the sta
ton and environs were ordered to
leave their posts and pile their arms.
| The only persons allowed on the plat
| form were the station master, his en-
ployees appointed to work the signals,
| and the military chief. There was no
guard of honor, no manifestation what
ever.
"This clearing Of the station takes
place at every station through which
| the train passes, which it does at the
maximum regulation speed. At Brus-
sells detrainment took place opposite
the Place Rogier, which is a military
| post since the occupation.
"The space in front Of the station,
which is always forbidden ground to
| passengers, was occupied by several
motor cars. AS soon as the emperor
| entered his car the small fleet ran
swiftly to the Pare Rue Royale, where
| the kaiser stayed several hours.
| During the presence of the kaiser
| the officials always display the utmost
nervousness in fear Of anything taking
place, and they always berathe sigh
of relief when their master is gone.
| The fact that even the military are
obliged to retire and pile their arms
seems to suggest a distrust Of his own
| army"

SELECTIVE SERVICE
ACT CONSTITUTIONAL

The selective service act was Mon
day upheld as constitutional by the SD
IRENE court at Washington.
The government contention that
the power given to congress to de-
clare war includes power to compel
citizens to render military service both
at home and abroad were sustained
by the court.
Chief Justice White, who delivered
the unanimous opinion, in a brief
statement declared that after consid-
ering the various contentious, the con-
clusion had beer reached that most
of them were imaginary rather than
real.
The decision resulted from the APP
pear of thirteen cases growing out Of
conviction under the selective service
act, five from New York, three from
Ohio, four from Minnesota and one
from Georgia. Constitutionality Of
he act was made the basis for all APP
peals.

even the casual looker-on with the reli-

which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ

The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
In sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination Of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment of
female ills.
