WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
 SWAMP P-ROOT

For many years druggists have watched with much interest the remarkable record maintained by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder medi' cine.
 It is physician's prescription.
 Swamp Root is a strengthening medi' cine. It helps the kidneys, liver and blad' der do the work nature intended they should do
 Swamp-Root has stood the test of years, It IS sold by all druggists on it's merit and 1t should help you. No other kidney medicine has so many friends.
 Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start treatment at once.
 However, if you wish first to test thio great preparation send ten cents to Dr. hllmer & Co.,. Binghamton, N r., for . sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.-Adv.

EASY ROW TO SAW LOGS
 kND GuT DOWh TREES

Only one man, or even boy, with the improved Ottawa Engine Log Saw can easily cut twenty-five to forty cords a day, and at cost of less than % per cord. This machine, which out does all others, has a heavy, cross cut saw driven by I powerful especially designed 4-cycle gasoline engine. It's a fast money-maker for those using 1t, and does more than ten men could do, either cutting down trees, saving logs, or buzzing branches tUhile you rest. When not saving, the engine can be used for other work requiring power.

wherever repairs are needed. The
maintenance of roads built some years
ago is more difficult because the high
ways are subjected to much heavier
traffic than formerly. When they were
constructed the builders evidently had
no vision that the heavy trucks which
do so much damage would be used.
The builders of new roads can profit
by the experience of the past, but the
only thing to be done with the roads
constructed some years ago is to keep
them in fair condition. A vast amount
of work is to be done. This is made
clear by the county engineers sub
divisions of the repair force. There
are really, according to him, IL kinds
of things that must be done. Indivi-
duals patrolling the roads and repair
ing them when they discover any
thing wrong shouldsprevent deteriora-
ton. At any rate, whether it is the
"gang" system or the individuals en-
gagged in repairing a long step for
ward has been taken. New Castle
county should not be Inundated by
bad and ill-repaired roads. The patrol
scheme will save some of the money

Another bill of Importance that will
probably be acted upon this week
will be the New School Code, which
contains more than. 100 typewriter
pages. There was considerable objec-
ton to this bill in it's original form, as
many members believed it conferred
too much power and authority upon
the state commissioner of education
and took too much power away from
the state board of education. At the
joint hearing last week, however, it
was explained that these objections
had been met and the bill in its
amended form may be passed without
serious objection. Members of the
legislature have received hundreds of
letters urging the passage of this bill,
and a few opposing it.
"It is full time for action of this
kind to be taken. There has been no
general, thorough effective revision of
the school laws of Delaware since the
Legislative sessions of 1875, when pro-
vision was first made for State sup
erintendent of public schools, with a
State system of supervision and adj
ministration. 1t was not great adj
vance, but it was a decided improve
ment. Since that time there have
been various changes, but none that
aimed at a revision, strengthening anC
cOdifcatlon of school statutes in the
direction of providing for an efficient
and vastly improved State system o.
public education.
"a recent survey of school condi
lions in this State, made by competen
and experienced agents, resulted in
showing that was far from satisfac
tory. 1t placed Delaware in a 10y
place on the roll of States in respeC
Of public education. This is no posi-
ton for the first State in the Feders
Union to occupy, and it is time tha

New Lioht on Term 40. K"

President Wilson has his own way
of doing things, and he also has
very good reason for doing them his
own way. Not only does that apply
to matters of worldwide Importance
but to trivial things as well.
In signing unofficial dOcuments-on
official documents he formally writes
"Approved"- president of the Unit
ed States precedes his signature with
the word "Okeh."
One of his secretaries, suddenly
realizing the significance of the word,
asked the president why he did not
write 80. K"
Because that's wrong" said Will
son.
"Wrong?" echoed the secretary.
"Isn't it derived from Andrew Jack
sons 'Orl KrechtT"
mo" said Wilson. 40. X is often
enormously used for 'Okeh,' which in
the Choctaw language means, Tt is
so.'"

UPHOLDS RONALDS'
ANTE-NUPTIAL PACT
Court Decides Promise to Wed
Outweighs Any Other
Legal Consideration.

A promise Of marriage given in return
for valuable property outweighs any
other legal consideration known to law,
Justice Cohalan in Supreme Court held
yesterday in Diminishing an action to
have set aside an ante-nuptial contract
entered into by Reginald Ronalds. who
was Rough Rider under Col. Theodore
Roosevelt.
After obtaining a divorce from his
first wife. who was Miss Thora Strong,
daughter OF Charles II. Strong. presi-
dent OF the Erie and Pittsburg Railroad.
Ronalds became engaged to Mrs. Mildred
Combs, divorce. of Elm Point, Great
Neck. l.. I. Before his marriage to her
In October, 1917, he conveyed TO her
property worth approximately 500. 900.
This was to place her In a position of in
dependent means. Ronaids stated, so
that she could establish her financial re-
sponslbllity and obtain custody OF her
child by previous marriage.
state Senator James F.. Foley, as re-
ceiver in proceedings Of the Guaranty
Trust Company. sued to have this ante
nuptial agreement set aside so a judy
ment against Ronalds could be collected.
In his complaint he alleged that Ronalds
was one OF five signers Of a note for
s2i2.200 which was given TO the Guar
an'y Trust Company A judgment OF
fls39l4 was obtained against the mak-
ers OF the note and a receiver was APP
pointed to forward the process Of COL
lection.
1t was alleged that the conveyance
Ror aids made TO his hancee was without
consideration and solely for the purpose
Of perpetratinR fraud on his creditors
In his opinion Justice Cohslan wrote:
valuable consideration. 1t being The
agreement OF Mildred Combs to MARI;
Reginald ROnalds. This agreement was
carried out by the consumat ton Of tbs
marriage. IL follows that the convey.
ances were not made without considera.

law more highly regarded than that q

The intent Of Reginald Ronalds ant
the object OF the conveyances were L

in mind a fraudulent disposition OF hi
