L You Need 4 Medicine
You Should Have tho Best

Have you ever stopped TO reason why
it is that 30 many products that are ex.
tendvely advertised, all at once drop out
Of sight and are soon forgotten! The
reason Il 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, a. 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 "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation / 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 90 large q
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony Of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success Of DR..
kilmer's Swamp. Root 10 due to the fact,
SO many people claim, that 1t ful6lls d.
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri.
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

Swamp Root by Parcels Post. Address

Auditor Bond FavorS
January Inauguration

Charleston. ". Va. April >.-Sta' "
officers expressed no Surpris" over tht
, resolution introduced by Delegate q
". McClin'ic Of kanlwha county which
would NOV" TN" date of inauguration
up to january LIST. but seem rather -
view the question with favor. even
though it will shorten their terms by
two months. State Auditor John
Bond declared he considered such a
move 4 progressive one.
Il can see no reason for synChron,%
ing the state inauguration date Win
that or the federal government. If
said and b"lirvr that the resolution
should pass ! feel fairly certain that
if It is put TO popular v"t" It VII r.
r"i>c an overwhelming majority.
Il am sure that the states business
heads would find their troubles greatly
mitigat"d if the business year and ihcii
terms ended n the same time. Officers
Of all counties in the state complete
their terms with the end Of III" year
and turn their keys over to their sue
ccSSorS. As for myself I am perfectly
willing to suffer the shortened term
IN order To see this measure be
adopted"
Tn" other half of the res olution is The
ono which seems to be drawing all the
fire. 1t will be remembered that at the
last general election an overwhelming
vote was cast in favor OF the present
system Of holding the legislature, thai
is Il hftccn-day session for introhlcin2
bills only and a forty-fvr-day session
for the consideration of the measure
introduced. Almost masked d. tins
amendment was another increasing the
salaries Of Legislators, making them
$500 per term with mileage. The rrso.
luton would bring the time for ho!dinS
legislature back To the old system. SIX
IS days Of continuous work would b."
the order Of business with no diStinC-
ton between the time for presenting
bills and the time for acting upon them
The questions being raised seem 10 In
dictate some desire to give the recent
legislative amendment real tryout.
