If You Need a Medicine You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are expensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon for gotten? The reason is p1ain-the arti- cIe did not fulfil the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medi- cinal preparation that has real cura- tive value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy been benefited, to those who are in need of it.
 A prominent druggist says "Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent results, as many of my customers testify. No other kid ney remedy has so large a sale.'' According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the sue cess of Or. Kilmer's SWamp-Root Is due to the fact, so many people claim, that it fulfils almost every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.
 You may receive a sample bottle of Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Ad- dress Dr. Ki1mer 6 Co.,, Binghamton,
 N- Y., and enclose ten cents; also
 mention the Bridgeport Times-Far-
 mer. Large and medium size bottles
 for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.

EXPECT MANY
 ITALIANS TO
 EMIGATE HERE

Naples, Feb. 1o.---More Italians will emigrate to the United States this year than in the record year of 1913, when 375,000 left these shores for America, in the opinion of American officials in Italy. Already they are besieging the consulate here so that the small staff is swamped. The 30 ships plying between Italy and the United States are carrying thousands.
 It is estimated that 100000 reservists who came from the United States are alive and that 60,000 of them will re- turn this year. All who wish to go back must do so within two years.
 One of the chief reasons AmeSican consuls are overburdened with work is that such careful check is made of each applicant for a passport The only illiterates allowed to go are wives and children of men already in America. A conviction in court, even for minor offense, bars the appH- cant from going.

WOULD OPEN UP ALASKAN WOODS
 FOR WOOD PULP

Seattle, Feb. 10.--A1asl1a wants to throw open her millions of acres of national forests so that the billions of feet of paper wood of the north land can help relieve the pulp and ,newsprint famine. Governor Thomas Riggs, Jr., of Alaska, declared here recently.
 Governor Riggs was here on his way from Juneau, capital of Alaska, to Washington, ID. C., where he ex- pected to help press pending legisla- ton intended to allow pulp manu- facturers to go into the Tongass and Chugach reservations, the northern territory'S two great reserves.
 Pulp and paper men are anxious to go to Alaska and establish mills as great as those operated in British Col unl1bia not far south of the Alaska boundary line, the governor asserted. Under the present laws the Du1p mak- CTS cannot enter the reservations with any certainty that they will be allowed to stay.
 A1aska's great forests stretch over approximately S4 900 square miles.
 Several hundred million feet of good pulp wood, including western yellow pine, hem1oclz, Sitka spruce, white fir and 1odge-pole pine, are on the forest reserves alone.
 The Tongass reserve, in southeast ern Alaska, is especially adapted tC the manufacture of pulp and paper, forestry officials have reported. There is plenty of water power, ocean har- bors open the year round, timber slirting the water and wSather similar to that of the Puget Sound.
 The governor intends to ask Wash ington to restore the reserves to the national domain or to open them tc the pulp industry.

PROSECUTION OF
 BROTHERS NO
 USE IN ENGLAND

. London, Feb. 10. Twenty-four convictions obtained before the 1900 anti-profiteering tribunals set up throughout England have cost more
 than 1000 pounds each,it was declar-
 ed by Captain Wedgwood Benn in the House of Commons during the dis cussion of a proposal to extend the Profiteertng Act for another period of of six months.
 Captain Benn summarized the re- suits of the act, during it's first six months of life, by stating: 'TNinteen houndred committees have been appointed; 1885 cases have been
 heard--one case per committee; twen- ty-four convictions have been ob- tained; 25, 900 pounds has been spent. And the cost of living has gone up!" Supporters of the bill argued that six months had not given the admin istrators of the law fair opportunity
 of demonstrating it's worth. The proposed extension of six months
 was voted.

WANTS HUBBY IN ARMY WHERE SHE
 CAN LOCATE HIM

Harrisburg, Pa, Feb. 1O--'rWhen Bill was in the Army I always knew where he was and didn't worry about him but now that he's discharged I can't Keep track of him at all. Come and get him for your old Army again." So wrote a Dauphin County wife to Colonel kemper, the recruiting off cer here.
 A recruits a recruit and recruiting is the colonefs business but he just couldn't find a place for Bill in the new, democratic, peace-time army. It isn't that kind of an army these days
 So, William Henry Harris, the most interested party, who wasn't consult ed at all by either wife or recruiting officer will have to remain on the inactive list of the Husbands Re serve Comps.

USE GREAT CARE IN IDENTIFYING
 DEAD IN A. E. F.
Identification Disc Big Help In Many Cases In
 France.

It is g. long. long, trail aw1nding, ac- cordtng to J. w. Rixey Smith. in Tho Home Sector. the ex-soldiers maga- zine conducted by the forner editor ial council of The Stars and Strpies, shortly be sent to this country from cemetries in Europe, where their bod ies rest at present. He says: Tn the meantime, in those cemeteries where the Graves Registration Service is now working on the removal project, the journey home for the A. B. F. dead proceeds step by step about after this fashion. Disinterrents begin in a certain selected cemetery, and no two cemeteries in the same section are disturbed at the same time. A group, including an expert embalmer, two technical assistants and four laborers. and called a gang proceeds to dig open a grave No two graves are opened in the same plot at any time There may be anywhere from two to six of these gangs at work under one inspector, who is officially responsible for the final inspection of each coffin before it is turned over to the con- voyor.
 '"The weathered cross is carefully examined, first of all, for the dog tag
 
 it. This, If found, is checked against the grave record of the G. R. $. which is of course at hand. If the tag has been removed, as is often the case, digfnterment proceeds and the very first effort made to find the tag, of fcial1y spoken of as the "indentif1- cation disc'' supposed to be about the neck of the dead soldier.
 eff this by any chance Is lost, an effort is made to identify the body be- yond the shadow of a doubt by physi- cal characteristics noted under re marks'' on the grave record Identi- Acation is above all elsn the import ant thing, and once this is established the preparation of the. body for it's return home may go on.
 eff originally buried in casket or box, and practically all of those not in the t4.tle areas were so buried, the body is turned over to the embalmer and his assistants, who treat it with chemicals that simply arrest decay.
 eff buried in sack-cloth, as will be found to be the case of thousands of instances of battle-area burials, the body and some of the ground around it will be laid on a rubber sheet and sprayed with 8 chemical solution un- til all the dirt and extraneous matter is washed away. In any event, any detail that is at all likely to be of any interest will be noted on the bill of shipment which in three ways follows that body until it is delivered into the custody of it's nearest kin, one copy going with the convoyer, one to Washington and the other being re- tained as a part of the record of the G. R. s. in European headquarters"

WOODLAND GIVEN YALE AMOUNTS
 TO 2,4O0 ACRES

Yale has made provision for ex- tensive forestry development of the two large tracts of woodland which have recently been made to the uni versity. One is located in Keene, N. H., and the other in Weston Conn.
 The Keene forest contains 1000 acres, according to the survey just made, and the Weston tract 1,400 acres. It is the gift of MT. and Mrs Winthrop Perry and is known as Devils Den," because of a legend which grew up about the large mark, resembling a Satanic footprint, in a s1oping rock in one of the ridges of the tract. The story ran that His Satanic Majesty stepped on the rock, which was then in a plastic state, in one of his travels throughout Con- necticut.
 Oaks, red and white, white ash and whitewood will be planted with the plan of developing the forestry study of the tract while grey birch and soft maple will be experimented with. The recent survey disclosed that on the property are about 12.- GOO cords of fuel wood, and about 750.000 feet of lumber for ties and

CONTRASTS PAY
 OF PROFESSORS AND "BABE" RUTH
Miss Helen Taft Points Out Unfairness to
 Educator.

The charge made by Helen Taft, acting president of Bryn Mawr Col lege that the public is willing to pay "Babe" Ruth, home run hitter of the New York American League baseball team, $2O,000 year to play baseball, but does not think enough of it's edu- cation to increase salaries of profes- sors in colleges, was a.mp1ifed today when Miss Taft said that unless col leges were provided at once with greater endowment, the nation will face an educationless future.
 Mrs. F.. Louis SIade, chairman of the Bryn Mawr endowment commit tee, in giving out Miss Tafts new statement said that per previous re- marks had brought out comment from newspaper editorial writers and paragraphers.
 Mrs Slade insisted that Ruth, at the head of baseball players, was paid a great deal more for his ser vices than the best known and ablest college professor, and she added that the average ball player, who has no claim to extraordinary "stardom," !" receives more for his services than many of the highest paid professors.
 '"The discrimination against the teacher has been marked,'' said Miss Taft in her statement. 'The public will pay Babe" Ruth $20,00O for a half year and Jack Dempsey $100,000 or $300,000 for a single fight, but they will not pay their college pro- fessors enough to live on.
 "A few years will see us without teachers said Miss Taft, "and it will take years to build up again the teaching profession and to train teachers as they should be trained. People will come to their senses after it is too late unless they consider the problem and act now.'
 Bryn Mawr has taken the initial step and is seeking to awaken public opinion by asking an endowmet o1 $2,000,000 to increase salaries of pro- fessors.

Have you been so busy that you have forgotten about your body the most delicately adjusted ma chine in the world-until some weak part has broken down and you are afraid?
 No one knows how long the body should hve-if it has intelligent care, but we do know that without 8 sufficient supply of vitalizing, Hfe-giving oxygen it wastes away, and dfes-just as plant droops and dies for lack of water.
 Disease Is merely the lack of some constituent element of the blood that is necessary to main tain life. Oxygen is the hfe-giver, the blood-builder-the germ-de- stroyer. But pumping oxygen into the lungs is not enough. The blood must assinilate it. Iron attracts oxygen just as the magnet attracts abundantly supplied with organic iron it attracts the oxygen from the air in the lungs and the blood is vitalized with iife-giving oxygen.
 REOLO supplies the blood with rganic iron (in a form that is easily essinilated) vitalizing oxygen and the cell-sa1ts that nourish and re- build the cells of the body. It has wonderful tonic qualities and rapid ly increases the number of red blood cells and plasma of the blood.
 REOLO invigorates and. nour. ishes every cell of the nerves, brain, tissues, fluids and bones; destroys and eliminates the worn-out cells and stimulates the circulation of the blood. It sends through the en- tire body a stream of rich, red, yi- talized blood that renews the strength, energy and endurance.
 REOLO has restored thousands of men and women to health and happiness by supplying the natural cel1-salts, organic iron and oxygen that Nature requires to restore and maintain health. It is not ex- pensive and is guaranteed to give beneficial results or your money will be returned. The large pack age of 100 pleasant, taste1ess tab lets only costs One Dollar.
