Il You Need a Medicine

Have you ever stopped to reason why
70 is that so many products that are eX'
,tensiyely advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
Feason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises Of the manufacturer This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as Ike
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it..
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-RoOt is due to the fact,
20 many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri'
nary troubles and neutralzes the uric

PRESIDENT CLAIBORNE PRO-
TESTS AGAINST FEDERAL
ENFORCEMENT.

institutions Have Prospered Because
They Are Founded Upon the PrIn-
clples Of Liberty and Equity.
Capitalization Surrendered,

Alexandria, La.-Charles B. Clai
borne, president Of the Louisiana
Bankers Association, entered a vigor
Gus protest against the encroachment
of the Federal government upon the
rights of States in his annual report
submitted at the opening session OF
the convention here. E. T. Merrick
chairman of the legislative committee
Of the association, also touched upon
the same subject, declaring that in
this country during the war great
autocracy was built up, and that the
gest-goyernen country In the world Is
the one which is governed the least.
The convention was called to order
at 10 a. m. by President Claiborne
Rev. A. J. Barton, pastor Of the local
Baptist Church, delivered the inVoCa
ton, City Attorney Thornton delivered
the address Of welcome and the re
sponse was made by P. c. Willis.
Never has the present-day banker
been offered better opportunity to be
Of service to his country than at this
time" said Mr.. Claiborne, 'for the
late war has so overturned our funda
mental social and business customs
that we are now compelled to enter
paths unknown and untried, where ex
perience Is no longer the lamp to guide
our feet.
"The Capitalization of our govern
ment, which became so essential as a
war measure, is being reluctantly sur
rendered, and State sovereignty has
become vital question Of the day
and one which deserves the serious
consideration of the best minds OF
the banking business.
"a centralized Federal government
means a step nearer government own
ership, which means the destruction
Of the individual effort, whereas, it is
the desire of each State to be gov
erned by its people and for its peo
pie. This great country Of our was
born in a spirit of liberty and free
dom, and those great principles have
come down to US through the years
with added strength in every genera
ton. Our institutions are not and
should not be under the lash of the
government. They have prospered
because they are founded upon those
principles Of liberty and equity.
"The nation is too widespread and
fits interests to diversified for any
centralized government with fixed
and autocratic set Of men to meet in
telligently the varying needs of our
people, except on the most basic and
fundamental principles"
Secretary Eugene Cazedessus Of
Baton Rouge submitted his report
which showed a membership in the
association Of 2SS, with twenty-one
non-member banks in the State. Mr.
Cazedessus also submitted the report
of Treasurer w. ]. Mitchell, who was
absent. E. T. MerriCk, chairman Of
the legislative committee, submitted
the report for that committee.
