MOVE TO REVISE CALENDAR
Advocates Of Change Will Bring the
Matter to Attention of League
of Nations.

One of the first projects to be laid
before the League of Nations, when Y
gets ready for new business, is one to
revise the calendar and make it uni
form throughout the world. Bureau
officials of the United States. Switzer-
fand and Great Britain got into touch
with church officials before the war on
The subject Of calendar revision, am
have kept up consideration of the mat
ter since. Church leaders say an
agreement has been reached and a
uniform report is nearly ready to go
20 the league
The calendar has not been revised
before because of objections from the
churches TO dates for the great re-
ligious feasts. These objections are
said to be removed. A fixed date for
Easter, the adding of a thirteenth
month, the making of every week he
gin with Sunday and having exactly
2S days in each month-these are the
main features agreed on. Church peo-
pie favOring the revision say that II
the league itself cannot act, it can
designate p calendar congress to do
so, TO sit at Geneva.

reason 10 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 IL 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, q
preparation 1 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 has 30 large 8

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp. Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it ful6ls al.
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri.
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric

Given Any Help.

The horse mad run away, and was
tangled up in the wire fence at the
side of the muddy road. Its half-wit-
ted owner had kicked and sworn and
tried to lift the animal till he was
out of sorts and covered with mud.
A well-groomed man came along,
took in the situation, and suggested:
Spring the fence back. then he can
get his feet free"
The owner of the horse did as he
was told. "Now give him a cut with
the whip and he'll get up himself"
This the owner also did. Then he
looked at the horse, up and ready for
travel, looked at himself covered with
mud, and locked at the immaculate
gentleman in the road. Wrath filled
his soul.
