Generosity Congressman Refuses
To Pose for Picture Because He
Says He Is Not "Self Advertiser"

'It pays to advertise. except
when that which II being adver-
tised 10 yourself"
This 10 the motto by which Rep
resentative william H. Stafford. Of
wisconsin, is guided In his firm re-
fusal to pose for q photograph.
not even for Congressional records
or for newspaper reproduction
When recently asked for . pho
tograph by q Herald reporter. the
camera-shy member Of Congress
replied that "the only way any
one could secure that picture would
be to shoot it. while he was sleep
ing"
However, to prove that even
witness the accompanying illustra-
ton. It Is nothing more or less
than q sketch of Representative
Stafford. executed while the sub
ject was very much awake
During the conversation between
the lawmaker and The Herald re-
porter, at the very time that the
gentleman from Wisconsin was de-
claring that his facial features
would meyer be recorded while he
was awake" a youthful artist was
making a hurried drawing. which
when finished resulted in almost
Photographic likeness.
When the artist had finished his
work, The Herald reporter took his
leave after saying to the Badger
ite." Maybe you are asleep when
you are awake"
Even the scrgeant-at-arms Of the
House, who keeps the pictorial rec-
ord of all members Of that branch
of the national law-making body,
has been unable to get a picture
of this member, despite the fact
that he has repeatedly made an
attempt to secure one.
Representative Stafford was
elected as a member of the House
to the Fifty-eighth Congress and
has served through ten sessions.
He is unmarried. His Washington
address is not recorded in the Con-
gressiOnal Directory. however. his
bachelor quarters are located in a
downtown hotel.

If You Need a Medicine
 You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why 1t is that so many products that are ex tensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason IS plain-the article did not fulfil the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like 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 I 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, so many people claim, that it fulflls al- most every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri- nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.
 You may receive a sample bottle of Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. r., and enclose ten cents; also mention this paper. Large and medium size bottles for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.
