A TREMENDOUS JOB TO
INCREASE OUR PRODUCTION

In this emergency we have tried TO
do our part. We secured the country
for raw materials-our Traffic Mana
ger spent his days riding freight cars
in-we shipped raw materials in car
load lots by express and pleaded with
manufacturers to increase their de-
liveries to us.
BUT IL was a slow process. Some OF
our raw materials are produced 'only
in Japan-supplies in this country,
were low and shipments required
three months to come from the Far
East. Then We had to recruit and
train skilled labor. We brought our
statesmen into the factory and trained
them as foremen. We invented new
machinery. and managed to install n
on Christmas Day, so as not to inter
fere with our daily production.

DISTRICT SHY $125,O0O

Committee Plans Whirlwind Drive
to End Campaign.

Washington has not yet reached its
quota i'm the drive for funds by the
American Committee for Relief in the
Near East. 1t has barely reached
$3.50 and the quota of the city is

that the response TO the fund is bare
ly beginning and that by tomorrow
night. when the campaign officially
closes. Washington will have sub
scribed the amount asked.
The amount raised at the mass
meeting at Liberty Hut Wednesday
night was a little less than 81, 200. with
some small amounts yet i'm doubt
This brings the total up to approx
mately s25e00 The receipt of a check
from the department store of S. Kann

est individual contribution yet re
ceived, was acknowledged yesterday
and the committee feels that this con-

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never
 Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
 Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root IS soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success.
 An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview of the subject, made the as- tonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are re. jected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applica- tions are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. It is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N Y, for sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.-Adv.
