old PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

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 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 DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I 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 know of
has so large 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 neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcel Post Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.
Large and medium size bottles for sale
at all drug stores.-Adv.

What She Was Doino.

Young Mrs. Fusserly was going to
learn to knit socks for soldiers as a
part of her patriotic duties. And,
moreover, she was going to surprise
her husband" by her accomplishment.
Hubble caught her one day labOrious-
" struggling with what might have
made a nice laprobe for a child's go
cart, but was an alleged sock instead.
"What in the world are you making
there?" he asked, manlike.
"I'm doing my bit" was her reply.
He returned in the evening 'just in
time to see her tearfully unraveling
the last stitches of the sock.
'H-m-m-m," he remarked, heartless-
ly. "At noon find you doing your bit.
In the evening I find you undoing it."

Washington Officials Are Waiting
For Authentic Text of Note
From Berlin.
EXPRESS NO OPINION
London Express Asserts That British,
italian and French Governments
Have Already Agreed Upon
Their Attitude.

Washington, Oct 14.-The official
text of the German note has not ar
rived in Washington and all officials
continued to reserve comment. There
was no change in the opinion that
there is much in the document to be
considered before a line of action can
be accurately forecast.
President Wilson returned to Wash
ington after a two days visit to New
York. Col. E. M. House, the Presl-
dents close friend and adviser, ac-
companied the presidential party,
which included Mrs. Wilson, Miss
Margaret Wilson and Secretary Tu-
multy.
Withhold Judgment Is Plea.
The government asks the American
people to withhold their judgment on
Germany's note until President VIII
son has received the official commun1-
cation and has had opportunity to con-
slider it.
The official document probably will
be here in few hours, when the Pres
ident confers with his advisers, among
them Secretary Baker, who returned
from the Western battle front, un-
doubtedly prepared to give inside in
formation on the broken condition Of
the German military power of which
the world necessarily does not know
at this time.
Views Rapidly Shaping.
No official of the government felt
justified in speaking to guide public
opinion in the direction of views which
are being formed. These views rap
idly are crystallizing and the next step
will be taken promptly, probably soon
er than might have been expected
President Wilson is expected first
to decide if Foreign Secretary Soils
reply to the inquiries addressed to
Chancellor Macmillan warrants him
in presenting Germany's original pro-
posaI to the Entente Allies. Admin
istration officials point out it should
be borne in mind that the Presidents
inquiry merely was move ad interim,
in which he proposed nothing, bound
himself to nothing, and merely asked
some questions which, he declared, re-
ouired an answer before he could go
further.
Quick Reply Foreseen.
If he puts the proposition before
the Allies it undoubtedly will draw a
quick reply. Dispatches from London
quoting the London Express as an
nouncing that the British, French and
Italian governments had reached a
unanimous decision for line of COM
mon action, were regarded as being
deeu1y significant

MILITARY POWER is BROKEN
German Army Reported to Be Under
Civil Control.

London, Oct. 14.-Germany military

civil control in complete and perma-

cerned, according to an interview with
Matthias Erzberger, the Centrist lead
er of the Reichstag, sent out by the
German government wireless service.
Thus General Won Stein, the Prus-
sian war minister, had to be eliminat
ed because he had always worked
against peace by understanding. the

a dispatch from Geneva to the Temps,
to represent the eventual fall of En-
peror William as a concession which
the Germans would be disposed to al
low to the Allies if they demanded it.
Such talk appears, above all, the
message adds, to be an attempt to
bring about an event which many
Germans judge to be inevitable and
