Readers Of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands Of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble. or the
result Of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-
bic and may be respondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds Of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp Root, the great kidney,
liver and bladder medicine, will do for
them. By enclosing ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co.. Binghamton, N. Y, you
may receive sample size bottle by Parcel
Post. You can purchase medium and

MOVE MADE TO END
WARTIME PROHIBITION.

Washington, Oct. ll.-Another
move to end wartime prohibition
was made in the house of represent
atives by Representative John w.
Rayney, democrat. Illinois, taking
the form of a resolution which would
declare it the sense of congress that
the conditions necessary to the ter
m;nation of the wartime prohibition
set now exist. Passage of this reso-
luton, it was said, would give the
president authority to annul the law
by declaring rehabilitation OF the
army completed. The resolution
went over under the rules.
Since the wartime prohibition act
went into effect brewers have been
manufacturing 2.75 per cent beer and
actions begun by the government to
have the sale OF such beer declared
illegal have resulted in appeals
which now are pending in the SD
preme court.
Ii the wartime enforcement leg.
islation goes into effect-and It vii
automatically become law within II
days after it is sent to the White
House unless vetoed by the presi
dent-tle sale of 2.75 per cent beel
would be illegal AS consequence
government agencies which woulc
be charged with the enforcement o
the law are preparing to wage an &C
tive campaign against violators.

Maynard I'm San FRANCISCO
PRESIDENT MUST
STAY IN BED FOR
EXTENDED PERIOD
Hope That He Might Soon Re-
sumo Fully Duties of Office
Swept Away by Physicians.

Washington, Oct. ll.-Hope that
President Wilson soon might regain
his normal health and resume fully
the duties of his Office was swept
away today by hisphysicians. who
announced it would be impossible
for him to leave his bed for an ex-
tended period"
The announcement, made alter q
consultation between Rear Admiral
Grayson and the three other physi-
clans aiding in the case, said there
had been no interruption Of the
presidents slow improvement, but
emphasized that he still had long
road to travel before he reached
complete recovery.
l. Although i'll keeping with the pro
gram Of rest originally planned for
Mr.. Wilson by DR.. Grayson, the
physicians announcement brought
home to officials the possible effect
Of the presidents illness on public
affairs and renewed discussion as to
what expedient might be adopted
should the press of executive bust
ness reach point demanding more
attention than he could give it.
.M One Of Possibilities.
The disposition on all sides seems
to be to refrain from raising the
question of the presidents disability
to act under the constitution, but
officials arc known to have consid-
cred it one Of the possibilities OF the
situation.
The constitution provides that in
case of the presidents disability
the vice president shall act as chief
executive, but there is no precedent
for such a transfer of authority and
official opinions are divided as to
how it might be brought about
should the necessity arise.
The physicians announcement
was not taken to mean that MIR. Will
son would be prohibited from sit
ting UP in bed and it was cousid-
cred entirely possible that he might
be permitted to sign few important
bills and orders each day as his
progress continues.
Let question Solve ltseH'
That will be matter. however.
which those attending him must de-
eide as time goes on, and the dispo-
sition of officials seems to be to let
any question of his disability solve
itself as specific cases arise.
Besides DR.. Grayson, the physi-
clans who took part i'll the consul.
taton were DR.. +. X. Dercunl OF
Philadelphia, an expert on nervous
disorders: Rear Admiral F.. r. Stitt
| head of the naval hospital, and Dr.
Sterling Ruffin Of Washington. An
Of them have been in close touch
with the patients condition for
more than a week and they were said
to be unanimous in their agreement
that an extended rest from the wor-
ries of the presidency was para
mount. -.
