Of course the question was insti-

a candidate who is member of one
of the boards of that county. Politi-
cal considerations, purely, stimulated
the agitated discussion of the ques-
ton in Orange. But
1t has spread over other counties
of Southern California, and now the
paramount question is not, "How old
is Ann?" but the other.
The question inreugns the honor of
every member of exemption boards
who has aspired to office, and should
be cast aside as unworthy of every
American. To hint that any eXemp-
ton board member might have or in

OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that ale ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason Is PLAINTIFF 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.
prominent druggist says, Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-R 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 DIR.
Kilmers' Swamp-Root is due to the fact
that, many people claim, it fuliils al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur-
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric

5. Cream too sweet. If ripened to a
moderate acidity it will churn more
easily.
4. Churn too full. In order to OBJ
tain the maximum conclusion the
churn should not be more than one
third full.
5. ROpy fermentation of the cream
prevents conclusion. This may be
prevented by steriIizing all the uten-
sis and producing the milk and cream
under the most sanitary conditions. If
additional measures are needed, the
pasteurizatiOn of the cream, with sub
sequent protection from contamination,
and ripening it with good starter
will be effective.

prepared by the United States Depart

In an effort to maintain or increase
our live stock supplies, the reduction
of the toll taken by disease should not
be overlooked. There are a large num-
Der of diseases which are very COM

dairy industry. Among these are con-

Tradition has it that in remedying
these conditions the value of prevent
