WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Womens' 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

However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and

"Of all the people who have taken
Tanlac, | don't believe there is any
one who feels any more grateful to it
than l do" was the statement made
recently by Mrs. J. NJ. Craig of G741a
East FOrtieth street, Los Angeles.
Like so many other families dur
ing the influenza epidemic last year
we all had it, and my own illness, to-
gether with the worry over the rest
of our family, brought on a case OF
genuine nervous prOstration.

sweep the floor, and during the day 1
would have to lie down four or five
times. l tried to walk but found out
half block was all l could stand be-
fore I gave out. Nervous spells came
on me often.
Every medicine I tried failed to
reach my case until finally my hus-
band urged me to try Tanlac, and I
am indeed thankful that he did, for

third bottle l could tell I was improv-

ever of getting well.
my improvement from then on was
rapid and by the time l had taken
five bottles of Tanlac l was better
and stronger than l had been in years.
l was sleeping soundly at night and
had gained twelve pounds in weight.

good health as l ever was in my life

silly talk, but yours is the worst yet.
You can't convince me that the day
will ever come when a man with the
jumping rheumatism, such as my hus-
band is afflicted with, can sit down
and cure himself by reading a book,
even if the book is endorsed by con-
gressmen and justices of the peace
and other dignitaries without number.
eff disease ever is banished from
the world, have no doubt that some
thing worse will come to take it's
place. l believe that everything in
this world is here for a good purpose,
even if it doesn't look that way at
first glance.
early this spring there was an cpl
demic of measles in this neighbOr-
hood, and of course my little grand
daughter had to come to visit me.
She never comes when the health con-
ditions are all that could be desired,
but just as sure as there is smallpox
or seven year itch or some other con-
tagious disease rampant, that angel
child comes to spend a few days with
her beloved grandmother, and she
catches everything there is going.
"She hadn't been here two days be-
fore she was down sick. She had
more measles than I ever saw in one
collection before, and her face was
sight. to be seen. | was inclined to
murmur and repine, for 1 was just
done with my housekeeping and was
so tired l felt as though I'd like to lie
down and sleep for six months, and
there l was with a sick child in the
house, and / was to be up night and
day seeing that she didn't catch cold,
for if child catches cold when she
has that disease, some of the measles
are sure to strike in, and then she
goes blind or loses her hearing or be-
comes an idiot.
81 was complaining to Mr.. Curfew,
and saying harsh, bitter things, when
q boy came to the door with a tele-
gram 1t was from Cousin Susan, and
she said she was coming on the night
train with her three children to spend
a week with me. She invites herself
that way about once year, and | al
ways dread her coming, for her chill
dren are holy terrors, and there is no
peace where they are.
81 never had good excuse for head
ing Cousin Susan off before, and she
had become a nightmare to me. But
on that occasion | had an excuse all
ready made. | sent back a telegram
saying that my granddaughter was in
the house with an aggravated attack
of measles, and the house was quar-
antined, and a policeman with a
sawed-off shotgun was guarding the
approaches to the house. OF course l
didn't use exactly those words, but
that was the meaning of my dispatch,
and Cousin Susan had to take her off
spring and unload them on her Aunt
Maria, who had never suffered a WIS.,
itatiOn of that sort before.
"ThiS shows that diseases have
their use, and even few measles in
the house are a welspring of pleas
ure, when we regard them properly,
with a deterpinatiOn to realize our
blessings. So | have no use for any
book that shows how to abolish dis
eases, and now must dispense, for L
have hundred things to do.

New Revenue Bill.

7 the changes in the revenue law will produce
i the needed income, they promise to be popu-
lar. They consist almost wholly in reductions,
than which nothing is more pleasing Every body
is handed Christmas gift and few asked for
extra donations. The increase in the corporation
which is the principal addition, will not please
the corporations, yet those who compose them, get
favors to than balance debts, while the
$1,000 exemption remains.
The exemption for heads of families where
the income does not exceed $1,000 is increased to
s., 500, and the exemption for children is made $500
each instead of $500. There is probability that
the so-caed nuisance" and luxury" taxes will be
abolished and at least in pst put upon the art-
ces before sale. The Herald is of the opinion
that more weight than necessary is given to the
protest against these taxes As rule people pre-
fer to pay such tax openly, than to have it hid
den under added price which they suspect is
unduly increased If every nuisance and luxury
tax was evidenced by stamps which the buyer
saw cancelled so he would know that it actually
went to the government, believe there would
be little complaint.
1t is not the tax to which there is so much
objection. The greater fuss is born of suspicion
that it does not in many cases get away from the
dealer. Seeing is believing; stamp has to be
bought before destroyed and this is also the
simplest form of tax collections. Neither does it
excuse an increase in price. Price is price and
the stamp is stamp! But the whole the re-
vision promises to give more satisfaction and less
dissatisfaction than was expected, or hoped If
collection IS simpiied, there will be a great saw
ing. and if people can pay and know the govern
gets there will be far less protest over shar-
ing the common burden. The ordinary man makes
far less fuss over an equable tax than do those
who better afford to pay.

Impasse Of Dignity.

THE supreme council has proved its supreme
i incompetence by passing the Silesan buck"
to the council Of the league Of nations. BRAND for
France, and Lloyd George for Great Britain had
made positive statements limiting their free
dom Of action, and each in the of his
country. To their personal dignity, rather
than for any good to the people of either country
each refused to yield. 1t was an impasse, not Of
right justice, but OF personal dignity. 1t is so
that play fast and loose with the peace Of
the woyd.
1t is reported that BRAND was willing to &C
cept the compromise offered by Italy supposed to
be friendly to Great Britain's contention repre-
scented by Lloyd Georges dignity, rather than to
France, represented by Brands dignity. This
would give Poland part of the western industrial
district lying along her boundary, including Glei-
witt, Zabrze and Tarnowtz. These three in

ing region. They rightly should go to whomeyer
gets the mines which the for their
being. Only the first named gave German ma
jority, bu; it heavy in total vote of only
10000, it being of the smaller communes.
The difference between the BRAND and George
contentious is not overwhelming Either gives a
goodly number of Poles to Germany and of Ger
inhabitants to Poland, any division
There is room for compromise and unless all
statements are wrong, it is much more important to
have a quick decision than wholly right decision
which in any event is impossible Any division

Of delay is another explosion of war between the
rival factions of Poles and Germans covertly en-
couraged and supported by their governments.
The council is to consider the question August
20 and it is agreed majority vote shall decide.
If France accepts the Sforza, or Italian line, this
should give her the advantage Of Italys vote and

ground to thresh and probably diplomacy
