II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to 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 DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation / 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 fulflls 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

LEWISTON SOLDIERS
PRAISE AMERICA
MEMBERS OF COMPANY F, FOR
MERLY IDAHO NATL GUARDS,
HAVE RETURNED

LEWISTON. = The Lewiston mem
bers of Company F who have return
ed to their homes during the past few
days have sounded the warning that
Lewiston people should pay little at
tentiOn to any of the criticisms of
conditions in France relative to u.
|S army operations. The Lewiston
company was located at Anglers dur
ing the entire fifteen months period
the company was in France. 1t was
selected as a training unit because
|of it's excellence in military efficiency
as was demonstrated before the or
ganization left the United States and
the men were given unusual OppOr-
tunities to observe and learn of the
entire army operations in France.
The view is expressed that the crit
icisms are a result of a desire to
make political capital out of some
thing that in reality does not exist.
The Company F boys minimize the
conditions at Brest. which has been
termed the "HeIl-Hole,' and predict
some of the men who have been re-
sponsible for the Brest criticisms will
be called to answer for their charges.
The view of the Lewiston boys is
that the United States may well be
proud of the wonderful organizations
effected in France to facilitate the
maintenance of the armies. The stor-
age, the transport organization, the
replacement plan and many other in
novations introduced were in every
way far superior to anything the
allies ever attempted.
Company F went to France with
232 Idaho men enrolled but during
the processes of supplying men at the
front, there we're only 33 out of the
original Company F men remaining
when the organization was sent home.
Many of the Company F boys went
into the second engineers and were
in the hardest fighting at Chateau
Thierry Rheims and other points of
decisive warfare. Some of the boys
who had been wounded were recov-
cred to the company through the
process of being handled by Company
F upon their recovery and discharge
from the hospital.
Much of the time the company was
operating entirely as replacement
unit Raw recruits were rushed from
the United States to Anglers for train .
