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-
zine.
1t is a physicians prescription.
Swamp Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
Ihould do.
Swamp Root has stood the test of years.
It is sold by all druggists on its merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has 80 many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
reat preparation send ten cents to DR..
kilmer 4 Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for
ample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

very fond of airing his slight knowl-
edge of French. On leaving his
friend one evening he said:
"Au revoir!"
"What do you mean?" asked his
friend.
Il mean good-by-'au revoir' is
'good-by' in the French language"
said the would-be linguist.

"What on earth does that meant"
"Carbolic acid means 'good-by' In
any language" was the reply.

q young man who practiced medicine
On rural district became famous and
was called in consultation in many
towns and cities because of his sue
cess in the treatment of disease. This
was DR.. Pierce who afterward moved
60 Buffalo, N. Y. He made up his
mind to place some of his medicines
before the public, and he put up
what he called his "Favorite Pre-
scription," and placed it with the
druggists in every state in the Union.
For fifty gears DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription has sold more largely
throughout the United States than
any other medicine of like character.
It's the testimony of thousands OF
women that it has benefited or en-
eirely eradicated such distressing all
ments as women are prone to. 1t is
now sold by druggists in tablet form
as well as liquid.

Apparatus Erected at the Rob-

New York City were received in To-
pelza today thru a telephone and tele-
graph apparatus constructed by Rob-
ert Trump and F. H. Charlesworth at
the home of the former. 1884 Van
Buren, street. The communications
are the first of the kind ever received
in Topeka.
The first message received by the
local instrument came on February :
from Robert F. Gowen. chief engineer
of the De Forest Radio Telephone and
Telegraph Company of New York City.
It was in the focIn of conversat ton
and music. Similar sounds have been
heard on the instrument every night
since February 7. and the MESA ges on
the night of February 10 were palmer
than on any other night. according to
the local operators. Messages from r.
H Matthews of Chicago also were re-
ceived.
The apparatus constructed by
Trump and Charlesworth has been in
working order for two weeks, tho it
is yet in the experimental stage.

Wear Old Clothes
and Bump HC.L.
Hackney's Appeal

An appeal 20 the public to refrain
from buying clothes until the manu-
facturers can catch up with the de-
mand has been sent out by Ed T
Hackney, state fair price commission
er, Wellington. who asserts that an in
vesugation reveals that more than
one-fourth of the clothes now being
produced are made by the workers on
their overtime This is not only rob-
bing the workers of the time designed
for their rest and recreation, but be-
cause they are paid double time for
overtime, greatly increases the cost
to the consumer, Hackney points out.
The commissioner accounts for this
condition by the fact that the return
of 100000 soldiers, the ajority of
whom had TO be fitted out with new
clothes, taxed the capacity of the man
ufacturers far beyond their limit. es-
pecially in view of the fact that innli-
grafton was shut off and no new work
erS added to the profession.

NEED MORE water
State Engineer Reports Result
of Investigation in Topeka.
New Location, More Wells and
Softer Water Needed.

-Topeka's water is too hard; it
should be softened with chemicals. de-
clared Prof. c. A. Haskins. engineer
of the state board of health, who was
one of the engineers chosen by the
city to make an investigation of the
water situation here. Haskins was in
the city today. continuing his investf-
cation. which he is making on the
''installment plan" due to the press
university and with the board of
health.
The state engineer said it was APP
parent that Topeka's water situation
was serious In fact. he said, the city
has been faced with prospects of a
water shortage for years, but had been
content with a 'hand-to- mouth" sys-
tenn of production. instead of looking
to the future.
City Faces Shortage.
THE question of obtaining water
for municipality is one that requires
constant looking ahead" Haskins de-
clared- The city which concerns it
self with meeting only its present re-
quirements. will ultimately face a
shortage as in your case here. The
wells at the west end plant have been
drilled in too limited an area; there is
not sufficient ground area between
them to draw water from and as a re-
suit these wells have been worked to
death.
AT present the city is pumping
tWenty-seven and one-half feet for its
water, half a foot more than what is
supposed to be the maximum lift of
the pumps. The water department is
down to bed rock"
Haskins said he had not determined
upon what method of obtaining water
ne would recommend in his report.
he was working on three possibilities.
he said-the present well system a
filtration plant, or a combination of
the two He said he thought the site
of the city's water plant was not a
good one, because of it's restricted
size. There are better locations at
other points on this side of the river
and on the north bank, he said. He
added that it would be feasible to dig
wells on the north side and pipe the
water under the river if the wen sys-
tenn was decided upon and if that loca-
ton was found to be the best.
For Fire Protection
A filtration plant would assure the
city of an abundant supply of water
and adequate fire protection. the en-
gineer declared. The Kaw's flow is
around 800 or 400 million gallons a
day. he estimat tied. while Topekas ac-
tual 10000 gallons a day would sup
ply Topeka's needs for many years.

yet on the cost of either method of OBJ

RECALL HUTCHINSON RESERVES.


Hutchinson. Kan, Feb. 12.-Several
naval reserves who reside in this city
have received official notice that they
will soon be called into service. The
notices state that the recipient will be
ordered into active service for a period
''of at least two weeks" each year
after July /.
Il understand the object is to keep
the men in training and give them
bit of service on the water each year"
said Roy Davis of this city, who re
Gently received a notice.
No orders to recall any class of
naval reserves have been received at
the local navy recruiting station, it was
said today.
1t is probable that the men to be
recalled are those who enlisted or
were drafted near the end of the war
and served less than three months on
active duty. The shipping articles
provide that such men must take ad-
ditional training a some time before
the expiration Of their term of enlist
ment It is understood that between
80. 900 and 10000 men will be recalled
under this provision.
