WOMEN NEED SWAMP root

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
II the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. Dr.
Kmer's Swamp-Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get medium or large size bottle i'm
mediately from any drug store
However if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilner G. Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

y have actually gained twenty-five
pounds ane l just think Tanlac is the
grandest medicine in the world" said
Mrs. Robert o. Reynolds, 127 North
Denver St. Kansas City, Mo.
For ten long years I suffered from
very bad form of rheumatism, stom-
Ach and nervous troubles. Ny appe-
dte was very poor. What little l did
eat soured on my stomach and l suf-
fered the most severe pains in my
back. hips and shoulders. Ny rheu-
matism was so bad that | could not
raise my hands to comb my hair and
my arms hurt me to my finger tips.
l became so weak and run down that
1 lost all my energy and life had be-
come almost a burden. | tried many
things but nothing helped me-
q had only taken my first bottle
Of Tanlac when l noticed my appetite
was improving and | could sleep bet
ter at night. I have taken three bot
ties and the way it has helped me and
built me up is really astonishing.
IAN eat anything and everything with
Jut the slightest disagreeable after
effects. I sleep just fine at night and
am in better health than l have been
for years. I am glad to give this
statement. hoping that any who are
suffering as I did may experience the
same wonderful results, which | be-
lieve they will if they give Tanlac a
fair trial"
Tanlac is sold by leading druggists
everywhere.-Adv.

Reading and "Skimmino.D

1t is said that Macaulay could read
faster than most men could skim and
skim faster than they could skip. No
doubt, but then he could laugh heart
lily at Greek comedy. The whole
thing is largely a matter of habit and
training; man can accustom himself
to read steadily. On the other hand,
the habit of skimmmg is one of the
most perilous to careful thinking;
once formed, it is very difficult to
shake OFF, and the man that has al
lowed himself to slip into the easy
primrose path of skimming, finds that
he has missed one good thing after
another.

GREAT POWER OF PRESIDENT
United States Chief Executive "Most
Potent Constitutional Function
airy in the World"

The legal functions of the Presi-
dents office are SO eminent that he
cannot escape the responsibilities of
executive action, however much he
may be inclined to avoid them. His
constitutional powers alone make him
the pivot upon which all the admins
trative machinery operates.
He appoints the heads of depart
ments and may direct their major pol
icies His power of appointment to
all the greater offices is far reaching.
He can recommend, shape and veto
legislation. His control over foreign
affairs is virtually complete. He is
commander In chief of the army and
the navy. In short, he is the most
potent constitutional functiOnary in
the world.
All these constitutional powers have
been vastly augmented by practice
and custom. The President today can
do innumerable things that George
Washington or Thomas Jefferson
would never have dared do even if
they had thought Of them.
The constitutional conception of the
President is that of a chief executive,
an administrator; custom has added
to this conception that of leadership,
of nitiation.-Samuel P. Orth in the
Yale Review.

One of Oceans Biggest Fishes.

The turbOt is one of the largest Of

thar is of most value commercially.
1t is seldom over two feet long. and
weighs about IS pounds, although 90
pound turbot have been caught. It's
body is very fiat and wide. with
long fin On the top and bottom ridges.
Its upper surface is brown. and COW
cred with hard, round knobs.
The turhot is a sea fish. and its
eggs-f1ve or 100000 TO a fish-foat
on the ocean surface. but the full
grown turbOt prefers a sea bank,
where it lies on its lighter side. Both
the eyes are on the upper side of the
body. The turbot abounds of the

Newspaper advertising of 100 years
ago differed greatly in form from that

extolled for their particular qualities:

in that day for peevish, teethlng

must have been disappointing since all
the users are now dead; DIR. Ryan's

Mazarin,s Great Library.

AT the beginning Of the Fronde In
trigues in Paris in 1913, when Anne
OF Austria, mother OF Louis XIV, was
queen regent OF France. Cardinal MAJ
arms library held 10000 books, and
was the most important collection of
books then existing. Mazarin was
compelled to retire from court, and
the French parliament voted the con-
iscation and sale OF his library. Louis
sent FouQuet with unlimited power to
bid it in. but the parliament. compre-
hending that it would in this way be
returned TO Mazarin, ordered its COM
piete dispersion, by selling It in small
lots The librarian was so affected
that he died OF a broken heart. The
sale OF Mazarin,s paintings was TO
have followed, but they were saved.

The Essentials of Progress

'The growth of wealth depends on
the balance between consumption and
production" This is automatic and
contains the crux' of the necessarily
many-angled economic policy of any
nation carrying on commercial trans
actions.
Experience is better than theory,
and the intrinsic utility of study of
history is that by knowing the past
we may judge of the best policy
whereby the exigencies of the present
and the future may most compre-
hensively and scientifically be met.
Utility, be it remembered, is one of
the key-words in the BacOnian doc
trine of inductive methods in reason
and argument, the other being pro
gress.
Building upon sure principal,
foundations the strength and worth of
which have been tried and tested in
the searching school of time and ex-
perience-the only true criteria by
which we should judge-it is of para
mount Importance that clear concepts
be had of economic words and phrases
by all who wish to form well-thought-
out and cogently reasoned arguments
for ''the faith that is in them" Yet
even in the Halls of Congress there is
sometimes a loose, even an oblique
clothing cs thought in language,
which gives rise to misconceptions and
erroneous conclusions, not from any
Intentionally dishonest presentation
of subjects but through carelessess in
dictiOn and the employment of suit
able and appropriate language.
Misapprehensions that confuse the
public are fOstered by men who give
out wild statements without relatively
to the other elements in complex and
complicated subjects like capital and
labor.
1t must be recognized as an ines
capable fact and as having a dominat-
ing influence in the commercial and
industrial life of nations that capital
is mobile, labor is not. Capital can
float and move all over the COM
mercial world. Labor has inherent
impedimenta, in that work means
many times change of location, the
taking up of new environments, which
entail increased outlay and cOnse-
quent reduction of wage or savings.
Free Trade, that is the unrestrict-
ed competition in products natural
and manufactured, is Numerically
opposed to the aims and objects of
Trades Unionism, which seeks to
bring about higher wages and better
conditions for labor.
The logical leaning of labor should
be towards the advocates of an ade-
quate Protective Tariff, so that the
enviable conditions of the workers in
this country as compared with those
abroad should be continued and not
jeopardized by changes of policy
which would be but the beginning of
disaster.
One witness before the Tariff Hear
ings said:
"Our standards of living, especial
" among our working class-the per
diem operator-canot be maintained
without wages sufficient to meet that
standard, and that standard must be
maintained because it is the basis of
our national pre-eminence."
This is a thought on which all
patriotic Americans would do we'll to
ponder.-AmericanE Economist
