take is absolutely pure and contains no
harmful or habit producing drugs.
Such medicine is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp

The same standard of purity, strength
and excellence is maintained in every

coming kidney, liver and bladder trou-
bles.

"LETTERS-FROM- HOME"WEEK
War Department Commissions Wants
Soldiers Kin to Help Maintain
Morale of Army.

New York, Dec. 3.-The week of
December 10, has been designated
by the war department commission
on training camp activities as a time
for special letters to be written by
mothers, fathers. sisters. wives and
sWeethearts of the men now over
seas. The week has been called
"Letters-From-H Home" week. and the
purpose is to apply the "home touch
to broad-gauged military program
for maintaining the morale of the men
who find themselves lille after weeks
of strenuous fighting. The war de-
partment hopes, through these let
tiers, to keep the men contented,
straight" and ambitious to live 10
to the high ideals of American man
hood
A model letter such as the govern
ment wants the mothers and Fathers
especially to write has been prepared
by the war department. This. with
letters from Secretary of War Baker
and Raymond B. Fosdick, chairman
of the commission, indorsing the plan.
has been mailed to newspapers
throughout. the countay The letter
particularly asks that the men over
seas direct their attention to whole
some recreation and activities, in
stead of to the unwholesome infiu-
ences that might result from the en-
forced period of idleness wherever
large bodies of troops are awaiting
orders to return home.

CATION TESTiFiES BEFORE IN
-vESTlGATION COMMITTEE.
S27, $4,000 WAS SUM USED
Funds Were Used in Buying News
papers and Distributing Literature
Part of the Money Went
To Consuls.

Washington. = Letters from the
secret files of Count Won Bernstor.f
were read to the Senate committee
investigating German and brewery
propaganda by A. Bruce Bielaski,
chief of the bureau of investigation
of the Department of Justice. Among
them were instructions to all Ger
man consuls in the United States to
get German subjects out of plants
producing materials for the allies.
The consuls were ordered to stop
Germans above the rank of common
laborer from working in such plants
under a section of the imperial code,
and to report to the German 1consu-
late at New York.
Questioned about the attitude of
William Randolph Hearst, Bielaski
said:
"Of all the newspapers published
in the United States those published
by Mr., Hearst were the most pro-
nounced in favor of Germany. There
is no other man whose attitude was
SO friendly to Germany in the war
eff this inquiry were limited to
paid propagandists," he added, I'VE
could not mention Mr. Hearst. There
is no evidence that Mr. Hearst re-
ceived any profits from the German
government or from any one acting
for it,"
Seven and one-half million dollars
was the cost to Germany of the pro-
paganda campaign in the United
States, Mr. Bielaski said, the sum
coming from the fund of 1850, 900
held by the embassy in Washington.
Part of the money went for the pur-
chose of newspapers and the printing
and distributing of literature and
part of it was sent to German con
sul5 over the country.
