i You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that 80 many products that are e1-
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 manuf- cturer. 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 II.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for ia
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.

According to sworn statements ana
verified testimony of thousands who have

Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,

across the front of the coat, button

going to extremes in being plain and
practical, the belt is double, with no
particular reason for being so except
that 1t adds an attractive and unex-
pected interest to this small item in

MOVE TO REVISE CALENDAR
Advocates Of Change Will Bring the
Matter to Attention Of League
Of Nations.

One of the first projects to be laid
before the League of Nations. when it
gets ready for new business, is one to
revise the calendar and make it uni
form throughout the world. Bureau
officials of the United States, Swizer-
land and Great Britain got into touch
with church officials before the war on
the subject of calendar revision, and
have kept up consideration of the mat
ter since. Church leaders say an
agreement has been reached and a
uniform report is nearly ready to go
to the league.
The calendar has not been revised
before because of objections from the
churches to dates for the great re-
ligious feasts. These objections are
said to be removed. A fixed date for
Easter, the adding Of thirteenth
month, the making of every week be-
gin with a Sunday and having exactly
% days in each month-these are the
main features agreed on. Church peo-
pie favoring the revision say that II
the league itself cannot act. it can
designate a calendar congress to do
SO, to sit at Geneva.

ZAPATA, MEXICAN
REBEL CHIEF, SLAIN
Outlaw King Of Southern Dis
tricts Killed by Govern
ment Troops, Report.
q, the Associated Press.

MEXICO CITY, April 10 (delayed) -
Gen. Emiliano zapata. the rebel leader
N southern Mexico. has been killed by
Government troops, according to an an
nouncement made by the Mexican War
Department tonight The announcement
confirmed an earlier newspaper report Of
zapata's death from Cuautla. in the
State OF Morelos.
The message said that a part OF the
Bfftieth Regiment, serving under Gen.
Pablo Gonzalez OF the Carranza army,
returned to Cuautla, Gen. Gonzalez's
headquarters, tonight with the body of
the rebel chief.
Later the Mexican Government re-
ceived an official bulletin confirming the
press report of Zapata's death.
Advices from Morelos say the death of
zapata WINS brought about by Ktrategy.
Zapata with his followers had Been hid
ing in an inaccessible mountain region
since the Government troops had pacifed
the State u Morelos, which had been the
stronghold Of Zapata since he began his
revolt In 1909.
Tho rebel chief is said to have been
killed In an unnamed part of the noun
tains of southern Morelos by troops I'M
der command Of Col. GuaJardo. The
War Department has promoted the Colo
mel to a Generalshlp for his feat.
At the height of his power several
years ago Gen. Zapata figured as the
possible head of the Mexican Govern
ment. At three different times during
the last ten years his followers were in
control OF Mexico city for brief periods.
II the news OF the death Of Zapata
is true. though such tidings need a good
deal Of confirmation, Gle Carranza Gov
eminent has destroyed one 'of its most
troublesome enemies. Among the bad
men that have made Mexico a reproach
to the Western world Zapata. the bandit
possessed uneuviable distinction. Secure
| in his mountain stronghold in the State
Of Morelos, which he ruled like a die
tator. he defed successive rulers, occa-
sionally marching his Indian followers
into the capital itself and holding banks
and business houses to ransom.
He has fought against every leader
| that rose to power after the downfall OF
stable government under Porfirio Diaz
Madero. Huerta and Carranza. Shrewd
and personally brave, he possessed also
certain qualities of leading men that
enabled him to dominate the southern
provinces. He assisted Francisco Madero
to overthrow the Diaz Government, but
soon turned against Madero and helped
| to destroy the Government he had
helped TO create. Huerta sent troops
against him after Madero was assas-
sinated, but Zapata defled the dictator
When Carranza came to power Zapata
