Farmers Win Market Fight.

Farmer members of the assembly,
after six-hour debate, game, what
they claim as the greatest legislative
victory for the farmers by refusing to
accept the marketing bill prepared by
the joint legislative committee. They
passed the COe substitute amendment
to the committee bill, Incorporating
most of the features of the Equity so
ciety bill.
This bill drew such strenuous oppo-
sition that it was recommended for
death by the agricultural committee.
The amendment creates a board of
markets with seven members. The
board would appoint market commits
sioner.
He would be empowered to investi-
gate all questions affecting supply and
demand, prevailing prices, cost of
manufacturing and profit, would col
lect information relative to production
and marketing, promote the organiza-
ton of public markets, investigate the
methods of business, prevent unfair
methods and license all mills, factories
and plants engaged in the manufacture
and distribution of agricultural prod
uets.
The committee bill would have
created division of markets in the
department Of agriculture.

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney. liver and bladder medi-
cine.
1t is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is Strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp Root has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has SO many friends.
BE sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co.. Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain BItro-Phosphate
to Put On Firm, Healthy Flesh and
TO increase Strength, viger
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose of making
thin people neSly, developing arms. neck
and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel theD
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro-phosphate, which Is mex
pensive and IL sold by most all druggists
under 4 guarantee Of satisfaction or money
back. BY feeding the nerves directly ana
by supplying the body cells with the neces-
sary pffosphoric food elements, bitro-phos-
phate quickly produces a welcome trans
formation in the appearance; the increase
in weight frequently being astonishing:
This Increase in weight also carries with
II q general improvement in the health:
Nervousness. sleeplessness and lack or
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, soon disappear, dun
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom Of perfect health.
CAUTION: - Although phosphate
IS unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleeplessness and general weakness, IL
should not, owing to its remarkable flesh
growing properties. be used by anyone
who does not desire to put on flesh

Dog Tax Amendment Introduced.

The legislature seems determined
to enact some law to promote sheep
raising by taxing dogs and thereby
causing the death of all vicious dogs
or those not properly cared for by
their owners.
The joint finance committee has in
troduced amendments to the Axe1
Johnson bill on licensing dogs. The
amendment licenses male dogs at So
and female dogs at So, with an addi-
tional fee of 10 cents to the clerk of a
town. village or city to whom he pays
the license. The bill further provides
that the proposed act does not limit
the existing right or authority of any
town, village or city to pass ordinances
for regulating or licensing the keep
ing of dogs, except that no such ordi-
ance shall be passed after July 1,
1920, and all existing on that date
shall be null and void.
All moneys received from dog IL
censes are to be appropriated into a
revolving fund for defraying expenses
in administering the law The surplus
shall be returned to county treasurers.
The bill appropriates not more than
$4,000 for administration of the tax.
The sum later will be refunded from
deposits in the dog license fund.

Settle Method Of Road taxation.

The controversy in the joint 1egis-
lative committee over the method of
raising S5,091, 7S6 to merit allotment Of
similar sum by the government for
highways was ended the past week.
The principal contest was over rails
ing automobile license fees and impos-
ing a mill tax for the purpose. The
latter plan won and the rate of tax
alton will be four-tenths of a mill, or
40 cents a 81 900 of assessed valuation.
This was decided on as the most just
and equitable method of distributing
the burden, making the farmer, who
uses the highways most, and the rich
men of the cities, for whom the farm
ers use the highways In heavy hauling,
bear most of the burden, and yet max
ing the man of small means pay for
the ride he may take with friends or
neighbors Sunday afternoon.
