II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it 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 fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This,
applies more particularly to 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 stake for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, q
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. Y,

plants found to be violating the laws.
Governor Blaine gave assurance Of
permission. Dairy and Food Commits
sioner George ]. Weigle found numer-
Gus instances of violation of law and
in two instances fragrant disregard of
pure food regulations. Action has been
started in several cases. In one case
company was served with warrant
charging violation on 40 counts, and
in another seven counts are alleged.
Thousands Of pounds of foodstuffs and
hundreds of cases of eggs were found
stored for periods exceeding the twelve
months limit In another instance,
there were found foods that had no
time marking at all. This is against
the law. The dairy and food commits
sion charged the company with selling

Farmers Back Food Price Act.

Farmers in the legislature are hav-
ing prepared a bill to turn the mar
keting commission into state trade
commission with sweeping powers to
prevent profiteering. 1t will be pro-
posed that the commission shall have
power similar to the national powers
of the federal trade commission. No
attempt would be made to regulate
prices beyond establishment of the
machinery to stop profteering. Real
izing that this would be one of the
most drastic bills, the farmers have
decided that before it is introduced
it shall be submitted to statewide
conference of Representatives of farm
organizations.

"War credits" have been granted by
the University of Wisconsin TO about
1890 former students who served in
the army, navy and marine during the
World war and returned on their dis
charge to continue their educations.
The credits were mainly "time cred
it's" that is, they applied to the cleo
tives for degree, rather than to spe-
ciflc subjects, and the award material
ny assisted many men in picking up
their interrupted work. Three months
of war service was required for the
main type of war credit.

Funds for Hero Memorials.

Unexpended funds in the hands of
war committees throughout the state
may be used in erecting memorials for
ney General William J. Morgan. Nor
gan made his ruling il the case of the
Committee of Fifteen Of Racine. 1t
establishes a precedent in the case Of
many other committees which have
funds on hand but have held off from
doing anything with them until the at
torney general handed down deci-
sion. 1t is expected the decision will
result in the erection of war me-
MORALS in many parts of Wisconsin.
In making his decision, Morgan makes
it plain that it is not an official opin-
ion. "This is not a subject on which
this department can render an official
I opinion he wrote the Racine commit
tee. 81 understand the fund pledge
card, stating the conditions on which
this money was subscribed for war re-
lief, bears the following: Any moneys
or property remaining in this fund at
the conclusion of peace and after the
foregoing purposes have been salts
fed, shall be used for such Racine
county public charitable objects as
the committee may determine" The
fund pledge card referred to is be-
Ilieved to have been generally used by
all committees in the state and there
fore the decision would apply to their
cases. The Racine committee proposes
to build a public auditorium as me-
mortal. sit is my opinion the erection
of such public auditorium as a me-
mortal to the Racine county war he
roes would satisfy the clause above
quoted as being charitable object"
wrote Morgan. II think it is justified
on two grounds: First, an auditorium
for public use would be charitable
use and public benefit; second, such a
memorial would be lasting means of
perpetuating the patriotism of the
community, without which the coun-
try could not endure, and would be of
perpetual educational and spiritual
benefit to the public

CHAPTER oNE-continued.

The great white bird in the Con-
grcgational church tower--that being
Bob's thought of it-few out across
the valley with its tidings OF good
will.
To the little Shepherd II seemed to
6ay: "Bing--Blng--Bing
Coming, Coming, Coming !"
Many of the friends of his mother
mostly poor folk of the parish who
worked in the mill-came with simple
gifts and happy greetings. There were
those among them who thought IL
blessing to look upon the sweet face
OF Bob and to hear his merry laughter
over some playful bit of gossip and
Judge Crooker said that they were
quite right about 1t. Mr.. and Mrs. ].
Patterson Bing were never to feel this
blessing. The Shepherd of the Birds
waited in vain for them that Christ
mas day. Mrs. Bing sent letter of
kindly greeting and twenty-dollar
gold piece and explained that her hus-
band was not feeling quite up to the
mark" which was true.
I'm not going" he said declsively,
when Mrs. Bing brought the matter up
as he was smoking in the library an
hour ar so after dinner. "No cripples
and misery in mine at present, thank
you! | wouldn't get over II for a
week. Just send them our best wishes
and twenty-dollar gold piece"
There were tears in the Shepherds
eyes when his mother helped him into
his night clothes that evening.

piece !" he exclaimed.

away in the drawer. 1t makes me

the opulent Bings. Some of these
on special occasions when city folk
were present. Mrs. Collins and the
Gilligans seemed to enjoy this privi-
lege, but Susan Crowder having had
al ancestor who had fought in the
Revolutionary war, couldn't stand It,
and Martha Featherstraw preferred to
eat in the kitchen. Indeed there was
some warrant for this remarkable sit
uation. The Gilllgan sisters had
brother who was n magistrate in
large city and Mrs. Collins had son
who was successful and popular
butcher in the growing city of Hazel
mead.
That part of the village known as
Irishtown and a settlement of Poles
and Italians furnished the man help in
the mill, and its sons were also seen
more or less In the fields and gardens.
Ambition and education had been
working in the minds of the young In
and about Bingvllle for two genera
tiOns. The sons and daughters OF
farmers and ditch-dggers had read
Virgil and Horace and plodded into the
mysteries of higher mathematics. The
best of them had gone into learned
professions; others had enlisted in the
business of great cities; still others
had gone in for teaching or stenog-
raphy.
Their success had wrought curl
Gus devastation in the village and
countryside. The young moved out
heading for the paths of glory. Many
n sturdy, stupid person who might
have made an excellent plumber, or
carpenter, or farmer, or cook, armed
with a university degree and sense
OF superiority, had gone forth in quest
of fame and fortune prepared for
nothing In particular and achieving
! firm possession Of II. Somehow the
elective system had enabled them ste
! get by" in a state of mind that re-
sembled the Mojave desert. If they
did not care for Latin or mathematics
they could take course In Hierology
or in The Tanning of the wild Chick
adee or in some such easy skating

girl. arose naturally out of social con-
ditions in the village.
Furthermore, II is quite likely that
every one in Bingvllle, including those
impersonal creatures known as Law
and Order, would have been much
happier II some magician could have

Der of "the Dish Water Aristocracy,"
as Judge Croker was wont to call II.
The community Of Bingville was
noted for Its simplicity and good
sense. Servants were unknown in this
village of three thousand people. 1t
had lawyers and doctors and profess
ors and merchants-some of whom
were deservedly we'll known-and J.
Patterson Bing, the owner of the pulp
mill, celebrated for his riches; but
one could almost say that its most
sought for and popular folk were its
hired girls. They were few and sniffy.
They exercised care and discretion In
the choice Of their employers. They
regulated the diet of the said employ
ers and the frequency and quality Of
their entertainments. If II could be
said that there was an aristocracy In
the place they were 1t. First, among
the Who's Who in Bingville, were the
Gilligan sisters who worked in the big
brick house of Judge Croker; another
was Mrs. Pat Collins, seventy-two
years Of age, who presided in the kit
chen of the Reverend Otis Singleton !;
the two others were Susan Crowder,
a woman of sixty, and a red-headed
girl with one eye, of the name of
Featherstraw, both of whom served

CHAPTER TWO
The Founding of the PhylIistines.

The Founding of the PhylIistines.
One little word largely accounted
for the success of J. Patterson Bing.
1t was the word mo" 1t saved him
In moments which would have been
full of peril for other men. He had
never made bad investment because
he knew how and when to say ''no."
1t fell from his lips so sharply and
decsively that he lost little time In
the consideration of doubtful enter
prises. Sometimes 1t fell heavily and
left wound, for which Mr.. Bling
thought himself in no way RESPONSE
BILE. There was really a lot Of good
will in him. He didn't mean to hurt
any one.
"Tlme is a thing Of great value and
what's the use of wasting it in idle
palaver?" he used to say.
One day, Hiram Blenklnsop, who
was just recovering from spree, met
Mr.. Bling at the corner of Main and
School streets and asked him for the
loan of a dollar.

BlUB, anu lne WOTuS SOunutu Inc wv

being now the more emphatic. 81 don't
lend money to people who make bad
use of it,"
Can you give me work?' asked the
unfortunate drunkard.
"No! But If you were a hired girl,
I'd consider the matter"
Some people who overheard the
words laughed loudly. Poor Blenkin-
sop made no reply, but he considered
the words an insult to his manhood In
spite Of the fact that he hadn't any
manhood to speak of. At least, there
was not enough of 1t to stand up and
be insulted-that Is sure. After that
he was always racking his brain for
something mean to say about j. Pat
terson Bling. Bling was a cold-blooded
fish. Blng was a scrimper and a
| grinder If the truth We're known
about Bing he wouldn't be holding his
head so high. Judas IscarlOt and j
J Patterson Bing were off the same
hush. These were some of the things
! that Blenkinsop scattered abroad anc
they were, to say the least of them
extremely unjust. NJ. Bing's ,nno
