If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine:
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as 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 DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I 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 SO large a
SALE"
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 fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle Of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.

To be possessed of a head of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandruff is merely
matter of using little Danderine.
1t is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get q
small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine
now-it costs but few cents-all drug
stores recommend it-apply little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance Of abundance,
freshness, fluff1ness and an incompara-
BILE gloss and lustre, and try as you
will you cannot find a trace of dandruff
or falling hair; but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hair-fine and
downy at irst-yes-but really new
hair-sprouting out all over your scalp
-Danderine is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer of dan
druff and cure for itchy scalp, and it
never fails to stop falling hair at once.
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, mOiSten cloth
with little Danderine and carefully
draw it through your hair-taking one
small strand at time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful in just
a few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this. ADV.

GOING BACK TO NATURE
BY DIR. w. LUCAS.

People get sick because they go
away from Nature, and the only way
to get we'll is to go back. Something
grows out of the ground in the form
of vegetation to cure almost every Ill.
Some of these vegetable growths are
understood by man, and some are not.
Animals, it would seem, know what to
do when they are sick better than
men and women. Observers have
noted that sick horse, dog or cat
will stop eating food and seek out
some vegetable growth in the field or
yard, which, when found and eaten,
often restores appetite and health.
Haven't you seen these animals do
this very thing yourself?
DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Y, long sine.
found the herbs and roots provided by
Nature to overcome constipation, and he
had these vegetables collected and made
up of Mayapple, leaves of Aloe, root Of
Jalap, into little white sugar-coated pills.
that he called DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets,
You must understand that when your in,
testines are stopped up, poisons and de-
cayed matter are imprisoned in your sys'
TEN, and these are carried by the blood
throughout your body. Thus does your
head ache, you get dizzy, you can't sleep,
your skin may break out, your appetite de-
clines, you get tired and respondent. As
4 matter of fact, you may get sick all
over. Don't you see how useless all this
suffering is? All that is often needed is
few of DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets,
which he has placed in all drug stores for
your convenience and health. Try them
by all means. They are probably the very
thing you need right now.

If there should arise between states
members of the league any dispute
likely to lead to rupture, which is not
submitted to arbitration as above, the
high contracting parties agree that
they will refer the matter to the eXecu-
tive council; either party to the dis
pute may give notice of the existence
of the dispute to the secretary general,
who will make all necessary arrange
ments for a full investigation and con-
sideratiOn thereof. For this purpose
the parties agree to communicate to
the secretary general. as promptly as
possible, statements of their case with
all the relevant facts and papers, and
the executive council may forthwith
direct the publication thereof.
Where the efforts of the council lead
to the settlement of the dispute, state
ment shall be published indicating the
nature of the dispute and the terms of
settlement together with such eHplana
tions as may be appropriate. If the dis
mute has not been settled, report by the
council shall be published, setting forth
with all necessary facts and explanations
the recommendations which the council
thinks just and proper for the settlement
of the dispute. If the report is unani-
mouslv agreed to by the members of the
council other than the parties to the dis
pute the high contracting parties agree
that they will not go to war with any
party which complies with the recon-
mendations, and that, if any party shall
refuse so to comply, the council shall pro-
pose measures necessary to give effect to
the reason. If no such unanimous report
can be made, it shall be the duty of the
majority and the privilege of the minority
to issue statements indicating what they
believe to be the facts and containing the
reasons which they consider to be just
and proper.
