II 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 1T.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
preparation l 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.

Marriage In Bulgaria.

Since Bulgaria's unconditional sur.
render to the allies the men of her
armies have been struggling homeward
and many weddings are being cele-
brated in consequence.
Bulgarian methods of entertaining
before the wedding do not differ ma
terially from those of other nations
except that the bride instead of hav-
ing her trousseau carefully put away
in the 'hope chest" from which she
only takes it for the privileged few,
hangs it up on cords which are stretch
ed across the main room of the
house. Here it is viewed on the
Friday before the wedding by all
the matrons of the town, while the
bride and the maidens dance before
the door and remain there until the
matrons have given their full criticism
of each garment, and If they disap-
prove of them the girls must help
the bride make them over until "suit-
able"
Instead of rice, corn as an emblem
of plenty, is showered over the bride
and groom, who are escorted to their
home with many ceremonies and they
are virtually imprisoned within it's
doors. \

Agriculture Department Officials
Forecast Enormous Crop
of Wheat.
PRICE IS GUARANTEED
Government Is Obligated to Pay DIFF
ference Between the Fixed Price
of $2.26e Per Rushei and
World Market Figures.

Washington, April 9-The depart
ment of agriculture's forecast that the
nations winter wheat crop would total
837, 100000 bushels, the biggest crop
ever grown, aroused immediate specu
lation as to the cost to the govern
ment of such yield.
Under the bill passed by congress
the government is obligated to pay the
difference between the guaranteed
price of 1926 a bushel and the world
market price for every bushel of win
ter and spring wheat produced
The total value of the winter wheat
crop on the basis of an 837,000,000
bushel crop forecast would be 1881,
$4,000. The spring wheat crop can

predicted it would range between 225,.
100000 and 300,000,OOO bushels, which
would increase the total value of the
nations wheat crop to approximately
two and half billion dollars.
Refuse to Make Prediction.
The part of this two and a half bill
lion dollars that the government must
pay to maintain the guaranteed price
was matter upon which officials here
declined to comment. 1t was said that
the factors influencing the world mar.
ket price were too numerous to make
any prediction. The Department of
Agriculture has no information as to
estimated wheat production in the
other wheat-growing countries.
Officials believe there will be good

New Uses of Raw Products.

The Weltmarket directs attention to
new uses of some raw products. In
Holland useful gum or paste is being
made from garlic. The bulbs are
pressed and the juice or fluid matter
so obtained is thickened by inspissa-
ton. A good substitute for cork is OBJ
tanned from certain fungi, which are
dried and ground, mixed with cement
and consolidated by pressure. In Nor
way a process has been patented to
enable carbide to be used for driving
motors. In Denmark a company has
been floated to make briquettes from
heather. These have a higher heat
value than peat. Experiments are be-
ing made to use chalk mari, especially
that which comes from the Limburg
mines, as manure.

Typhoon Hurt coconut Trees

The Christmas typhoOn which swept
over the southern Philippine islands
did considerable damage to the coco
nut plantations. Trees, especially those
along the seashore and places most
open to the wind, were either blown
down or weakened to such a degree
that unless the affected groves are
cleaned up and taken care of, the trees
still standing are doomed, but for an.
other reason, says the bureau of agri-
culture. The fallen trunks will be-

stroying pests and diseases. The
weakened trees, unable to fight these
odds, will sooner or later succumb and
