Doctors in all parts of the country have
been kept busy with the epidemic of grip
which has visited so many homes. The
symptoms of grip this year are often very
distressing and leave the system in a run
down condition, particularly the kidneys
which seem to suffer most, as almost every
victim complains of lame back and urin-
ary troubles which should not be neglect
ed, as these danger signals often lead to
dangerous kidney troubles. Druggists
report large. sale on DR.. Kilmer's
Swainp-Root which so many people say
soon heals and strengthens the kidneys
after an attack of grip. Swamp Root,
being an herbal compound, has gentle
healing effect on the kidneys, which is al
most Immediately noticed in most cases
by those who try it. DIR. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y, offer to send SAM
pie size bottle of Swamp-Root, on receipt
of ten cents, to every sufferer who re-
quests it. A trial will convince anyone
who may be in need of it. Regular medi-
nm and large size bottles, for sale at

Dismiss Charge Against Nelson's.

Judge Carpenter of the United
States circuit court, Chicago, sitting in
place Of Judge Sanborn in the district
court at Madison, dismissed the indict-
ment which charged Congressman
John M. Nelson and his son, Byron @.
Nelson, with conspiracy to violate the
selective draft law.
The motion to quash was made by
Attorneys G. H. Crownheart and
Ralph NJ. Jackman, representing the
Nelson's, on a suggestion from the
judge that the case involved only legal
questions. The court held that the act
Of Byron Nelson in going to Canada
Is days before the draft law was
passed was something he had q right
to do and that his remaining in Canada
following the enactment of the statute,
without registering, was not in viola
ton Of the law.
District Attorney A. G. Wolfe said
he intended to appeal from the deci-
sion to the United States Supreme
court.
The Indictment charging Byron Nell
son with failure to register, which is
4 separate case, probably will not be
raken up at the present term Of court.

Wiping Smallpox Out of State.

Smallpox is now prevalent in many
Wisconsin communities, several being
threatened with epidemics. All cases
are of mild form, however, and are
being stamped out.
Merrill has reported Is cases thus
far this month, to the state registrar.
Owing to prevalence of chickenpox,
many smallpox cases were diagnosed
as the former malady, and the disease
spread rapidly. When eruptions of
these types appear in adults, 1t may
be assumed, with practical certainty,
to be smallpox.

GRAssHoPPER EGGS
SURVIVED THE WINTER

In answer to inquiries as to whether
the rather severe. winter has destroyed
the grasshoppeT. eggs laid last fall, it
can be said that there are slight hopes
of this occurring. The insect lays its
eggs but an inch or two deep, 50 that
they are within the frost all winter.
However, freezing usually has no bad
effect on them.
Egg masses have been examined in
many fields in various parts Of the
state during the past few weeks. In
dicationss are that some counties will
have a severe outbreak aof grasshop
pers again this season. For instance
when from 1000 to 1850 eggs are
found in one little clumD Of Grass an
inch in diameter, it certainly points
to an outbreak. AS is usual, some
eggs, in varying numbers, have been
destroyed by natural enemies and
some have dried out after being brok-S
en- open by cultivation. For these
reasons many fields are not infested
with eggs in the numbers we would
expect when we remember the dams
age done in these field last summer
However, this should be no reason for
sitting back and hoping for little trou-
Bile, but rather does this offer q chance
to reduce the numbers Of hoppers,
and the injury To the minimum
