WOMEN NEED SWAMP-ROO1'

Thousands of women have kidney and

Women's complaints often prove to be

result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am

toms of kidney trouble.

FORMER KAISER And
4 BLADE OF GRASS

BERLIN, May 21.--This is a little
story concerning the kaiser, tapestry.
court architects and blades Of grass.
1t came about during the reign Of
Wilhelm III that the monarch wanted
his castle in Koenigswusterhaus
newly QUILTED. He took a fastidious
personal interest in the decorations
and furnishings. Finally all was well.
except the tapestry Of his work room.
Wilhelm called in the court archi-
tects to decide the exact shade OF
the tapestry; green, it must be, he
had decided. but Just what sort OF
a green he did not know. The court
architects waited upon his majesty,
but his majesty was attending a Kiel
review.
The following day they were sur
prised TO get from him a package.
Layers Of paper and cotton: then
more layers Then finally blade
Of grass His majesty commanded
that the tapestry be the color Of
this blade, plucked in KieI. But the
green had faded from the blade in
it's warm packing
So the architects secretly Journey
ed 10 Kiel 10 study the green of the
grass. When the kaiser finally re-
turned. ne was pleased at the exacri-
tude wherewith his orders had been
followed.

Dean O'Hdrd Urges y. S. Capital
Buy South American Securities
To Bring Exchange Back to Par

the British exchange bankers must
be given credit for taking advan-
tage Of the situation However, it
IL working terrific harm to Amer
lean interests in South America, es-
pecially in view OF the dishonest
explanation Of the drop being cir
culated by our commercial rivals.
and, as a result, American financiers
and business men should do every
thing in their power to remedy this
situation.
What Is the correct remedy?
Credit Extension as Relief.
Radically. the righting of the
balance Of trade will remove any
discrepancy in trade caused by that
practical factor, but the balance be-
tween exports and imports cannot be
righted until there is more produc-
ton in the United States, and con-
sequently more demand for South
American raw materials.
THE extension Of credit TO the
South American countries would
temporarily help the present situa-
ton. but would merely postpone the
day OF reckoning in the same man
ner that our loans TO the allies kept
exchange 'pegged' during the war,
but did not prevent the collapse that
came after the armistice.
THE third means. and only prac-
teal solution of the problem at
present consists in the investment
OF Am .ican capital in South Amer
lean securities. The permanent
transper Of American funds TO our
prospective markets in Latin Amer
lea would right the discrepancy be-
tween the supply and demand Of
bills and bring exchange back to
par. thus enabling the South Amer
lean merchants to continue to buy
from Us and also to pay the, bills
which they owe American mer-

With hangers at the Atlantic and

ate points OF call, a transconunental
