Stanton and Miss Anthony leaders ana
headouarters in New York; American
Woman Suffrage association, WIN
Mary A. Livermore, Julia Ward Howe
and Lucy Stone leaders and headquar-
ters in Boston. The line of division
was this: The former wished TO
concentrate on the passage of con-
stitutional amendment; the latter
was in favor OF obtaining the sur
frage through amendments to state
constitutions. In 1890 the two organ
izations were united under the name
of National American Woman Sur
faee Association, and work was
nushed along both lines of endeavor.
Mrs. Stanton was president untii
1892. Miss Anthony served until
1900, resigning Mt the age of eighty.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait was its
head, 19O0-1904. DR.. Anna Howard
Shaw, recently deceased and possibly
best loved of all the leaders-a wom-
an of transcendent gifts and elo-
uuence-was president until 1913.
Mrs. Gait was then again chosen.
Mrs. Frank Leslie left large legacy
to Mrs. Gait to be used in the work.
The National association made ar
rangements at the st. Louis conven-
ton of 1919 to dissolve its organiza-
ton and become the League of Wom-
en- Voters. These arrangements be-
came effective at the Chicago conven-
toin in February last. So the League
of Women Voters now holds sway
over something like 27,000,OOO po-
tential American women voters.
Mrs. Gait, who is also the head of the
International Woman Suffrage alli'
ance, which she founded In 1904, Is
honorary chairman; Mrs. Maud Wood
Park is chairman; Mrs. Richard Ed
wards of Indiana, treasurer; MIS-
Scion Jacobs of Alabama, secretary,
and there is board of regional dl'
rectors.

Speedy Relief
From Habitual
Constipation

The liver is the largest and most i'm
portant organ in the body, and when the
liver refuses to act, it causes constlpa-
ton. biliousness, headaches, indigestion,
gas. sour stomach, bad breath, dysen-
terry, diarrhoea, pains in back ana unuel
shoulder blades and under ribs on right
side These symptoms lead to colds, In
f1uenza or other serious troubles unless
corrected Immediately.
An inactive liver places an extra bur-
den on the kidneys, which overtaxes them
and causes the blood to absorb and car
ry into the system the impurities that the
liver and kidneys have failed to eliml-
nate.
When you treat the liver alone, you
treat only a third of your trouble, and
that is why you have to take purgatives
every few nights. Calomel or other ordi-
nary laxatives do not go far enough. III
you would treat your kidneys and blood
while treating the liver, you would put
your entire system in order and frequent
purgatives would then be unnecessary.
DR.. w l.. Hitchcock many years ago
recognized these important facts, and aft
er much study and research compounded
what Is now known as DR.. Hitchcock
Liver, Kidney and Blood Powders, three
medicines combined in one. This was the
Doctors favorite prescription for many
years, being used by his patients with

FLIES TORMENT DAIRY cows
Mixture Recommended by Minnesota
Expert to Keep Pests Away
During Summer Season.

By preventing flies from tormenting
the cows much greater flow of milk is
secured during TIE summer months
and the remainder of the lactation
period. The following homemade mix
ture has given good results at the col
Iege dairy farm. 1t Is better than sew
eral other mixtures tried and quite as
efficient as the prepared sprays cost
ing a dollar per gallon. 1t is made as
follows:
IL quarts of any standard coal tar
dip.
~ quarts fish oil.
i pint of oil of tar.
/ quart of coal OIL
u pint of oil Of Eucalyptus.
Mix in ten gallons Of lukewarm soft
water in which a bar of laundry soap
has been dissolved.
Spray twice a day, in the morning
after milking and in the afternoon
when cows are brought in for sllage or
green feed. Vixen a half barrel cart
with spray nozzle attachment is used
two men can spray herd of forty
cows in ten minutes. This mixture is
not perfect and does not keep all the
flies away and, furthermore, it leaves
the coat rather harsh and causes dust
to adhere; however, it is very bene-
fetal and practical and results in more
milk and greater comfort.-H. Ill. XII

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp'
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle i'm
mediately from any drug store.
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
