HOUSE PASSES MEASURE
DESIGNED HELP FARMER

Washington. June by a vote of
233 to IS the house yesterday passed
and sent to the senate the bill permit
ting farmers. planters, ranchmen,
dairymen or fruit growers TO combine
for the collective marketing and sale
of their own products, notwithstand-
ing antitrust laws.
The measure was drafted by Chair
man Volstead of the house Judiciary
committee as a substitute for the
Kapper- Hersman bill and similar
measures to legalize collective bar
gaining by agricultural producers.
Debate developed sharp division of
opinion, supporters of the bill declar-
ing it would give farmers and other
producers an opportunity to negotiate
a fair price for their products. OPP
ponents of the measure asserted that it
would increase the cost of living and
that it was class legislation.
Limitations included in the bill,
said by its supporters to be designed
to exclude all but actual farmers, pro-
vide that the combinations that may
be organized must not pay more than
eight per cent dividends annually on
capital stock, and that every member
must have one vote irrespective of
his invested capital.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
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. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonshing statement that one reason why
30 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. 1t 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 a
ample bottle. When writing be sure and
