PROVEN SWAMP P-ROOT
 AIDS WEAK KIDNEYS

The symptoms of kidney and blad- der troubles are often very distressing and leave the system in rundown condition. The kidneys seem to suf- fer most, as almost every victim complains of lame back and urinary troubles which should not be neglect ed, as these danger signals often lead to more dangerous kidney troubles.
 Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root which, so many people say, soon heals and strengthens the kidneys, is a splendid kidney, liver and bladder medicine and, being an herbal compound, has a gentle healing effect on the kidneys. which is almost immediately noticed in most cases by those who use it.

 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, ~. Y, for @ sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention the New Britain Daily Herald.

KEPPLER AS A PROPHET

From the Mobile Register.
 The newspapers generally are writing articles on the Passing of Puck,'' mean. weekly Of that name. All commentators hark back. to the early success of that weekly. edited by H. c. Burner and c%-'- tooned by Joseph Keppler. It is our pro vince to recall that Keppler was not only the best and truest cartoonist, as well as the first 10 introduce color lithograrhy into this country as the medium of caris cature, but was prophet as well. Kep- pier, although native of Austria, was thoroughly ar American and democrat
 He felt the call at all times to emphasize his admiration of free institutions. He did not have in his composition an ounce of admiration for aristocracy. One of liis earliest and finest cartoons was based upon the coming of William II to the i'm. perial German throne. and it showed the bad boy ot Europe, charging down me international highway, entirely regard less of the rights and feelings of the neighborns nations Along the way, each at his national post, were seen tho several sovereigns and presidents of Eu. ropean states. watching the boy, who, swaggering and contemptuous. with lat on tho oaci- of his head and straw m his mouth, betrayed his purpose. since confirmed by the world wide and ruth less war
 The cartoon plainly indicated that kep- pier expected nothing better of the young Hohenzoi,crn than the world has since experienced at Williams hands. The car. toon graphically foreshadowed the char aoter that would be developed in the man, and the elationship of bullying and ter rorism William would seek to establ' sh with all so unfortunate as to be his neigh bors In it's way, it was wonderfully true prophecy.

 Small wonder that they were over joyed at the sight of the first allied soldiers they had seen practically since the war began, for Ecourt-St. Quentin had been held by the Ger mans since September, 1914. Amid tears of rejoicing, and tears of sym pathy, too, for the losses their deliver CTS have suffered, the villagers ot France are slowly but surely having their ruined homes restored to them What does it matter if those homes are but a mockery of what they used to be-mere piles of bricks, stone and morton? The invader has been driven out, never to return.

LINES TO A NEAR-HERo.

LIN lO A Ben Battle was a soldier bold
 Who did not go to war. s'As long as I stand guard at home, He asked his friends, what for? NO use for me to cross the sea
 And go where cannon rave, To prove I have the courage found
 In every man who's brave. i've no dependents, that is true,
 I'm fairly young and spry, But I'll just stay in the U. s. A.
 And help to hunt the spy, And make my neighbors purchase bonds And lustily crate About the rights of all mankind
 That despots violate.'' All right, Ben Battle, have your way And brag and blow at home While others fight the brutal Hun
 Across the rolling foam. But there's no private lover there," No matter what his hue, For whom I haven't more respect
 Than e'er I'll have for you.

Our Army in France
 Increasing Rapidly

| ~ ENERAL MARCH continues to 1N keep well ahead of his schedule I in the oversea movement of troops.
 When the first units reported to Gen.
 eral Pershing in France this country looked anxiously for movement on a large scale, and it was not long be- lfore soldiers were being sent abroad at the rate of 100000 month. The million mark was reached in June and there has been systematic speeding up ever since. Our fighting men are now crossing at far more |farii rate than the public had thought possible few months ago. On Au-
 gust 1,6O0,000 of our fighting men had landed on foreign soil AS
 formidable as the American army in France is today it will have attained vaster proportions within the next two weeks
 The war department has made a splendid record in mobilization, and General March, as chief of staff, llas proved to be the right man for the irresponsible position he holds. Next
 to General Pershing he is the most important officer in the army, and like all efficient men, he accomplishes
 great feats quietly and without any display of self-pride.

Good Road Work
 After War Ends

WITH the return of peace an
 WV era of prosperity along normal lines will set in and it will come in unprecedented volume. And it will not be of short duration.
 Great enterprises that have been projected, but are held in abeyance until after the war, will be hurried to con: :pletion Coal, iron, steel, brick, cement and lumber will be in demand in every part of the country.
 There will be a new period of rail- road development. Existing roadbeds will have to be rebuilt, and it is safe to assume that the mileage will be vastly increased.
 Not the least important work to be done will be the building of highways. In the south the good road move ment, which started twenty years and was pushed actively ten years ago, gave us an extensive mileage of improved highways. Alabama made la creditable showing. Under the Bank head act this state was making more substantial progress in the construc- tion of better roads than had been attempted in former years; but litter the United States entered the war little new work could be attempted. The mistake that had been made in our road building activities was in not providing for maintenance when the appropriation was made for con jstruction. Roads that were called good roads two or three years ago are now in wretched condition. State Highway Engineer W. S. Keller pointed out the actual waste that would result from a policy of building without ample means pro- lvided for repair work. County author iities now realize the false economy of the old system.
 When the new movement for high way construction is launched it must mark departure that will be in line with the last word in road-making and lupkeep.
 1 This is the day of the motor truck, and in future all highways must be built with a view of accommodating heavy truck haulage. The first cost of such roads will be large, but with
 provision for maintenance it will pay
 we'll in the end.
 l The government can well afford to aid in building truck roads, for they
 will materially relieve freight con-
 gestion; and congestion will be even
 greater after the war, with thousands
 of new industries opc~ating at high
 pressure, than it is today.
 The time will come when the prin-
 cipal highways of Alabama will be
 paved and will be as smooth and hard as the best city streets. Farm values and property values in general
 will be immeasurably enhanced. That time cannot come LOO soon.
