WATERWAYS OFFER
AN EARLY SOLUTION
OF Problem Of Distribution Of Indus
tries Among Smaller Towns
and Cities.

acknowledgment OF I'M
land waterways and wider diffusion
of manufacturing among the lesser
towns and cities of the country are
the two cardinal principles of plan
of reconstruction after the war which
was presented in a statement Issued
by Commissioner c. c. McCord, of
Kentucky, a member of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, who was re-
Gently appointed by the President as
one of the umpires of the National
War Labor Board.
Mr.. McCord prefaces his conclu-
sions respecting the desirability OF
diffusing industrial activity on the
statement that whatever readjust-
ments are made in Federal control of
railroads after the war the period
of unrestricted competition is at an
end, and that the railroads of the
United States are now entered upon
a new era in which rates will be made
with a view to serving the greatest
number instead of bringing to any
particular road the greatest amount
of traffic.
He intimates that the Shipping
Board, now engaged in building a
merchant marine, will turn its ener-
getic attention later to the develop
ment of inland water traffic, making
it plain that the change in railroad
tactics will hereafter give river boat
lines an opportunity to exercise their
true function of carrying bulky
freight at low cost

kidney TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED.
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one OF tina
prominent life insurance companies, IN an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so com
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence OF DR.. kilmer's Swamp Root IS
soon realized. 1t stands the highest foE
its remarkable record OF success.
We find that Swamp-Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad-
wise our readers who feel in need OF such q
remedy to give it trial. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles OF two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
kilmer & Co., Binghamton, \. y, for q
