OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that SO many products that are 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.
A prominent druggist says, "Take for
example DR.. 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 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 DIR.
Kilmers' SwampRoot is due to the fact
that, so many people claim, it fulfils 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
DIR. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and
enclose ten cents also mention this paper.

chean Source of Protein.

Milk ut 10 cents quart is as cheap
source of protein as sirloin steak at
34.3 cents n pound or eggs at 41.9
cents a dozen. Milk at the same price
is as cheap source of energy as sir
loin steak at 21.2 cents a pound or
eggs at 20 cents dozen. Protein and
energy are two important necessities
for which we eat food. Milk contains
the bodybuilding materials-protein
and mineral substances, such as lime
and phosphorus-needed to renew body
wastes and promote growth by form
ing new tissues and fluids; and it also
supplies the energy for carrying on
body functions.
The average person In this country
uses only little more than half
pint of milk daily. This quantity can
be increased very profitably when safe
milk is available. Many persons think
Of milk only as a beverage, but If they
understood that it Is really nour-
fishing food they would increase the al
lowance. Economy in the diet does
not always depend on limiting the use
of certain foods, but 1t Is sometimes
question Of actually increasing the
use of foods which furnish nutritive
material at relatively low cost. Milk
belongs to the latter class and the
housewife would do well to study its
food value and decide whether her
family Is using as much as 1t should.

NEED HELP ON MILK
LAW? EXPERTS
ADVICE AVAILABLE.

A study Of the milk ordinances
of many cities, large and small,
shows Il great diversity of opin-
ion among lawmakers and their
advisers as to what constitutes
Il proper milk ordinance. A
great lack of uniformity among
laws, some of which are entire
ly out of date, has been noted.
Many of them seem to be tran
scripts Of ordinances in force in
other cities, placed in the mu-
nicipal series of laws without
regard to local conditions, and
some contain provisions which
are unnecessary and unreason-
able and cannot be enforced.

of agriculture suggests a form

lieved, will prove to be salts

MILK
LAWS FOR TOWNS

Conditions, Say Specialists.
RECOMMEND THREE GRADES
Impossible to Frame One Ordinance
That Will Be Suitable for All Com
munities Form Prepared
Which Will Assist.

Milk laws should meet local condi-
dons. Ordinances governing the dairy
industry must be prepared with care
and be enforced. Officials of the
United States department of agri-
culture say that it would not be wise
to attempt to draft Il milk ordinance,
with its standards, grades, and re-
quircments, without n special study of
local dairy conditions as well as the
purposes of such an ordinance. One
of the most important considerations
must be the reasonableness of the
law. A law which works an unneces-
sary hardship on legitimate industry
is not reasonable, and law so strin-
gent that it cannot readily be en-
forced will defeat its own ends.

Longworth "First President"

Whatever may be the position Of
Nicholas Longworth as son-in-law.
and he claims to be the first president
of the '~on-in-law club Gardner was
his senior so far as Washington public
life is concerned. Gardner had felt
the handicap of being the son-in-law
of great man long before Nick had
wooed and won Alice Roosevelt as his
bride. But the fierce light which
beats upon throne" naturally
brought Longworth into, prominence,
especially as the son-in-law Of such II
man as Theodore Roosevelt.
There were many jokes passed back
and forth in Washington about sons
in-law. but 1t is fact that both Gard
ner and Longworth had ability enough
to stand on their own merits and both
won positions of prominence in the
house.

Where the German Vote Went.

1t may be that the Madison county corre-
spondent of the Omaha Hyphenated knows
what he is taking about, when he says the Ger
mans up there voted for Hughes ito spite Will
son." Reports made by careful, competent and
conservative observers at the time were to the
effect that the German vote in Madison county
would be for Wilson. That is somewhat be-
side the point. 1t was of Gilbert NJ Hitchcock
that Val J. Peter state president of the disloyal
German-American alliance, wrote to his men,
bers:
One of our principal duties must be this,
that we shall aid in the reelection OF United
States Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock. Sena-
tor Hitchcock has the great recommendation
that he has championed the cause of neutral
ity and the embargo upon shipments of war
munitions, that he is bitterly fought against
by all friends of the allies, that he is feared
by the prohbitionists, who also seek his de-
feat. Hitchcock must receive every German
vote We ought, however to do much more
than this for him. We ought to employ all
OF our influence to carry votes for him so that
he will certainly be reelected. Therefore,
work and vote for Hitchcock.
This is fair indication as to where the pro-
German influence in Nebraska in 1916 was ex-
erted. Hitchcock was reelected, because of the
efforts made by the German American alliance
in response to President Peters appeal, and in
return for favors granted and services rendered

LIBERTY BONDS AND TAXATION.

No confusion of ideas as to the just proper
ton of taxation to borrowing to meet war ex-
penditures should be PERMITTED to interfere with
the success of the fourth Liberty loan drive.
Difference of opinion exists as to the amounts
to be raised, but there is none as to the need of
large sums of money to carry on the work
While the senate is considering the revenue
BILL the secretary of the treasury has asked the
people to buy at least $6,0O0,0OO000 Of AZ per
cent bonds, and this is the business to which
public attention will be addressed. Discussion
of methods for application of various theories
of taxation may proceed apace in the legislative
halls, but the battle is going forward all the
time. Money is imperatively needed to keep
the machinery of war in motion, and the people
must supply that money
Whether or not it will be possible to expend
the $24,00O000000 asked for in the program for
the current year will not greatly matter. All
the money that will come from the sale of bonds
at this time will be needed in pursuing the war
plans of the government. And we must keep
the army and navy equipped to operate at top
speed every moment, or else we are taking
long chance of losing some advantage gained
by costly effort.
Four million men have been called to the
colors. Get behind them with your dollars.

Why Germany Doesn't Quit
Charlton B. Strayer in Leslie's.

If Germany realizes, along with the rest of
the world. that she has lost the war, why is it
that she doesn't quit: For the simple reason
that the Prussan, proud of his military achieve
ments of century, is no gutter, and for the
further reason that he hopes by clever propa
ganda and peace overtures, launched at the
proper time, to retain for Germany much of the
booty and advantages acquired in four years of
war There can be little doubt that the Ger
man staff thought they had in the Hindenburg
line an impregnable defense, that they could re-
tire to this and then say to the allies: 1--WE
tried to win and failed; you have tried and
failed. Let us be reasonable and talk peace be-
fore civilization is destroyed' In the light of
the British success in piercing the "Wotan"
line there is at this writing the possibility that
the whole Hndenburg position may be turned.
The loss of strong line will rob Germany
OF one of the best cards she hoped to play in
the peace maneuver. But Germany will still be
in position to dangle Asace-Lorrane before
the eyes of France, and to offer to restore Bel
GUM provided she be left free to exploit Russia.
And Andre Cheradame says there are people in
France who will be ready to put their noses in
the trap. Germany expects there will be at least
minority in all the countries who will be will
ing to talk peace on such basis. Her peace
propaganda will be aimed to reach this minority
just as in the case of Russia. German lying
almost brought about the undoing of Italy too.
In no other country will such propaganda have
the chance it had in Italy and Russia, but Ger
many leads the world in the corrupting en-
ployment of money. According to the Com
mttee on Public Information the German gov
eminent spent between $l5O0O000 and $20,OOO,-
600 on plots and intrigues in this, country dur
ing the period Of our neutrality. Germany could
we'll afford to spend billion dollars in allied
countries if in that way she could secure peace
by negotiation. There is no use blinking the
tact that there are certain elements that are re-
ceptive to the idea of negotiated peace.
America entered the war to secure no terri
tory or material gain for herself but to estab-
fish just and righteous peace. Such peace
must include the terms outlined by Senator
Lodge. America wants victory won within
the German frontier and dictated on German
territory. mo peace says Senator Lodge,
that satisfies Germany in any degree can ever
satisfy US

"The Crime of Credulity."

Americans still suffer because of their readi-
ness to believe anything and to retail gossip.
No tale is too fantastic, too absurd or too I'M
probable to gain currency. Our government
has warned its citizens again and again to avoid
circulating idle gossip calculated to do harm.
Its advertisements on this point have been
widely printed, and yet intelligent and orSnarily
careful men and women thoughtlessly assist in
passing along the insidious kaiser-poison that
does more harm than direct attack Just now
in Omaha couple of ridiculous yarns are rife,
neither of which would be listened to in peace
times This form OF propaganda can be met in
only one way. Citizens must stop their ears
to rumors whose origin is treason. Do not re-
peat the idle talk you hear, especially when it
has to do with our army, here or in Europe.
Keep your confidence in the government I'M
shaken. If a man tells you story, challenge
him for his proof. Credulity now is more than
a crime German agents and German SYM
pathizers still are plentiful in America; do not
help them by peddling the lies they invent and

The Street Fair Mixup,

The mixup about the street carnival between
the Ak-Sar-Ben board and the city authorities
is, to put it mildly, unfortunate. The Bee has
more than once protested against the character
Of some of the concessions in the street fair
grounds and would like to see the whole street
fair abolished and something more creditable
substituted for it, and yet the Ak-Sar-Ben
board has been permitted to proceed on Gus
tomary lines as if sanctioned as usual up to the
very last minute when the whole scheme is up
set without warning. The fact that Ak-Sar- Ben
is wholly a public enterprise and part of
Omaha's widely advertised hospitality to its
neghbors and out-of-town visitors would make
it desirable for the city and the Ak-Sar-Ben
governors to work in harmony and pull together
for the common good.

Morale of the German Soldier.

Examination of prisoners taken at St. Mihel
by American officers does not indicate break
down of the morale of the German soldier On
the contrary, the will to fight on is strong, if
these men may be accepted as representing the
sentiment of the kaiser's armies. Also, the
German soldiers are we'll clothed and we'll fed
while they have an abundance of good arms
and other fighting equipment. 1t is we'll that
Americans should know and understand these
things. Bear stories" coming by way of Am
sterdam and Stockholm, detailing conditions in
Germany are unquestionably sent out for the
deception Of Americans. Army men know that
the fight is not won, and that long, hard job
is ahead of them. Victory will be made the
more certain if the folks at home decline to be
misled by propaganda, and stand staunchly back
of the boys at the front.
