Il You Need 1 Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
It ID that 80 many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all Is 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 q 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,
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
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 url-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

Swamp Root by Parcels Post. Address

Average uf 2.5 Motorcars for Every

The total road mileage OF the

therefore, an average OF 2.5 motor

16 cars to each mile of rural road.
Furthermore, while there was an aver
age of zone motorcar registration for

The Tooth-Like Points Of the Harrow
Brake Dig Into the Ground and
Hold the Car In Place Until the En-
CINE Can Be Started Again.

ton Is designed to prevent automo-
biles used in mountain touring from
running backwards down steep roads
should anything 60 wrong with the
regular brakes.
It is the invention of George Stick
ney Of Oregon. 1t consists of "a har-
row-like frame suspended from "a
crosswise shaft pivoted to the chassis
frame directly back of the engine and
lowered into contact with the road by
means Of system Of levers controlled
by a hand lever and nOtched quad
rant in the drivers cab. The sharp.
tooth-like points of the harrow dig in
to the ground and hold the car in
place until the engine can be started
again and the clutch thrown in. They
also serve to hold the car until 1t gets
under way. This eliminates the dan
ger Of starting under the same cOndi-
ton without the device, in which case
the conventional brakes must be re-
leased before the clutch is thrown In.
This might allow the car to gain suffi-
cient backward momentum to prevent
the engine from starting and permit
the car to drop OF the road II the
brakes cannot hold it.-POpular Sci
ence Monthly.

Little Rock, Nov. 11.-(SpeciaD-"I am far from being an alarmist,' said Henry H. Tucker, of the Zones Bros.

The gov ernment will be unable no matter what drastic measures it takes, to get the mines operating before the end of two or three weeks. The railroads have less than a 30-day supply of coal My advice to merchants everywhere is to anticipate their January wants and get into the market now. Deliv- cries are going to be very slow when the coal supply begins to run out and fewer trains are operated The man who buys now cannot go wrong even should the strike come to a speedy zt2rmnation, for it is a question of get ting the goods anyway
