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.
If 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..
Kilmer'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.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for q
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Advertiseme

GENTLEMENS AGGREEMENT IS
ATTACKED BY GOVERNOR

Ex-Governor Pleasant attacked Fri
day in the State Constitutional Con-
vention, a gentlemen's agreement, said
to have been arrived at between the
convention and the natural resourse-
owners of the State over the severance
tax. The convention promised that
there would be no further increase on
severing these resources in exchange
for a promise from the interests not to
fight the present tax.
Mr.. Pleasant characterized this a.
greement frankly as Illegal" Il do
not propose to be bound by. such il
legal agreements" he declared in the
first place, and what is more real
ize that | am a member of constitu-
tional convention which creates gov
ernors and legislatures and judicial
systems, and which must act on every
problem not according to previous a.
greements made by these lesser agen-
cies, but solely and only according to
what it conceives to be the best inter-
ests of Louisiana.
In this way, and after discussion
of nearly three hours duration, an
ordinance levying a flat rate of 2 per
cent for state purposes and giving the
parishes the right to levy a separate
severance tax Of ] per cent not to ex-
ceed $4,000 a year, the remainder Of
the ! per cent in any year to be turn
ed back into the state treasury, was
once more adopted.
