WOMEN NEED SWAMp-ROO1

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 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.

Farmers Favor Cooperative Market.

Chicago-Representatives of the
farmers in convention here voted
unanimously to accept the report Of
the committee of seventeen which pro-
vided for formation Of cooperative
agency to market the nations grain. .
The report was adopted after two
day fight in which delegates sought
to have it amended SO that pooling Of
grain by the farmers would be COM
pulsory instead of optional, as provid-
ed in the report. An amendment to
that effect was defeated, 61sto SO. An
other amendment offered by Carl VIII
liams of Oklahoma that the pooling be
made compulsory in states where
wheat is the predominant grain also
was defeated, and the convention then
unanimously adopted the committee
report.
Under the plan non-profit stock
corporation will be formed through
which the grain will be handled from
the time it is raised until 1t reaches
the manufacturer or consumer.
Each member of the corporation will
pay fee of $40 for expenses.

KLAGENFURT: A SELF
DETERMINED AREA

The Klagenfurt area. the only region
in which plebiscite was provided for
in the treaty between the allies and
Austria, has been retained by Austria
as result of the vote which was TAX
en- several months ago.
When the crazy-quilt patchwork of
diverse peoples that made up the old
Austro-H Hungarian empire was ripped
apart by the treaty of st. German and
rearranged more nearly in accordance
with nationality and language, it was
clear that the old Austrian province
of Carniola, extending from the klag-
enfurt area south almost to Fiume,
was Slavonic in its population. 1t
Slav kingdom along with the other OBJ
viously Slavonic provinces in the
southern part of the old empire: Bos-
mia, Dalmatia, Herzegovina, Croatia
and Slavonia.
Carinthia, the province adjoining
Carniola on the north and containing
the Klagenfurt area, was recognized,
on the other hand, to be predominant
ly Teutonic as whole. But 1t was
seen that the southeastern section of
the province, the valley of the Drave
river about Klagenfurt, had heavy
population of Slovenes. 1t was felt by
the allies that the question whether
the Teutons or the Slavs predominated
in the region should be definitely de-
termined and that the area should be
attached, according to the desires of
the majority Of the residents, to the
Teutonic republic of Austria or to the
Slav kingdom to the south.
The region which Austria retains as
a result of the plebiscite is roughly
almond-shaped, approximately fifty
miles in extreme length and twenty-five
miles in extreme breadth, with an
area Of something more than 6OO
square miles-slightly less than one
third that of Delaware. It contains
much mountain land but also a portion
of the rich Drave valley, one of the
most productive parts of Carinthia.
One of the most important results
of the vote to the Austrians is that
they will retain the rich lead mines Of
Bleiburg, perhaps the most important

WHERE FLEET VISITED
LIMA AND CALLAO

American Blue Jackets of the At
laptic fleet recently visited Lima, cap
ital of Peru, after the passage of the
fighting ships through the Panama
canal. The fleet lay at anchor at
Callao, the port of Lima, only few
miles away. The history of Callao's
sheltered bay, which constitutes one
of the best harbors on the Pacific coast
of South America may be considered
to have begun shortly after Pizarro
and his bearded comrades entered Peru
in 1882.
From Callao In the years that fol-
lowed sailed constant stream OF gal-
Icons loaded with the gold and silver
that the Conquistadores stripped from
the rich continent on which they had
gained a foothold. Lima, only eisht
miles inland, became the seat OF the
vice-regal government by which all
south america was ruled, and Callao
was practically the only gate through
which the treasure gathered by the
colonial agencies was poised into tne
Ian Of the Spanish k;ng. Close 70
Cal,ao often lowered British and
Du+ch pirates to swoop down on tne
treasure ships.
Callao was tie nrat Pacific port
IN south America to have completed
modern 'hsrbor works. ~.

In pretty taffeta or crepe coats. Here
also they follow the lead of grown
ups, for the display reveals many mod
els in gray. bisque and light beige,
but blue and rose color have not been
entirely neglected and whole bevy
of cherry-red taffeta coats find en-

the silk andscrepe coats have bonnets
to match.
Between the utility coat and these
splendid silk affairs for state occa-

of lightweight velours, broadcloth
and often these are decorated with
little embroidery in the color of the
coat. Poiret twill is another favored

subjugation of Belgium and-the depor-

subjugation Of Belgium and-the depor-
tation Of its workers.
About the middle Of the twelfth cen
fury few German merchants estab-
lished settlements about the mouth of
the Dvina, which empties into the Gulf
Of Riga nine miles below the present
city of Riga. Whereupon Bishop AL
bert, In the role Of missionary, sought
to colonize the territory in 1901 by
building a town where Riga now
stands and the following year he
founded the Brethren of the Sword.
The new order was well named. 1t
killed where it could not convert,
though slaughter was not the main OBJ
ject after a foothold on the promising
Baltic port was obtained. The 'mis-
sionaries" were satisfied to reduce the
native population to serfdom, ap-
prOpriate the land, and build fortified
towns and castles to uphold this min
iature feudal system in a land they
aimed to exploit.
But the Livonians are liberty low
ing people. They resisted despotism
then, and many times later, just as
year or SO ago they rebelled against
Bolshevism. When their early oppres-
sors became too severe they arose and
drove out the missionaries" Later
Livonia, and Riga, which became its
capital, espoused the Christian relig-
ion; and the Order Of the Sword
merged with the TeutOnic Knights and
continued to operate in other quarters.
Though Prussia's political hold was
shaken off Riga, it maintained its
economic ties there, and Individual
Germans usually have been important
factors in its commerce. This phase
of German influence was consum-
mated when Riga, in the thirteenth
century, became member of the
Hanseatic league, the first great trust
which for two centuries controlled
practically all the trade channels of
continental Europe north of the Alps.
The third modern aspect of medi-
eval Riga is to be found in the fam
GUS "Blackheads." 1t was this body
which soon came to have the civic I'M
portance, and apparently many of the
functions, of chamber of commerce
or board of trade today.
Originally it was organized by the
young traders who came to Riga. as
social club, to afford fellowship in
addition to the needful board and
lodgings during their sojourn. Since
the members were mostly young men,
progressive, and somewhat assertive,
they took their name to distinguish
themselves from their elders, or grey
Boards Naturally their table talk
turned to ways of promoting business,
and soon the club became in effect an
organization for Bigger, Better and
Buster Riga" as the modern trade body
would phrase 1t.
From the beginning of the World
war Riga was an objective of the
Central powers, because of its impor-
tance as a focal point for the lumber
from White Russih and Volhynia, the
flax from northwestern Russia, and
other products from wide area with
which it has rail and water commune
cation. Its pre-war prosperity is in
dicated by the growth of its popula-
tion from 1O2 900 in 1867 to more than
100000 in 1913.

VALPARAISO, WHERE OUR
FLEET VISITED


academy, was visited recently by the
United States Pacific fleet while the
Atlantic fleet was anchored at Callao,
Peru.
The harbor of Valparaiso, while not
so remarkable as that of Rio de ia
neiro where tropical verdure runs riot
among granite crags, nor so idyllic as
vivid, sun-bathed Naples, still deserves
to rank with them and three or four
others as the most beautiful and strik-
ing of the important harbors of the
world. 1t Is no detraction to say that
Valparaiso's name-"Vale of Para
dise"-is not merited. Such a name
suggests soft lines, rolling greensward,
fiower-strewn meadows, shady paths,
noble groves. The beauty of VAL
paraiso Is more austere.
Sailing into Valparaiso the voyager
enters wide semi-circular bay fianked
strip of ground that borders the curv-
ing shore line is the we'll built busi-
ness section of the city. Behind and
above this level portion of Valparaiso
tower bluffs and steep semi-arid hills.
These highlands once hemmed in the
old city, but modern Valparaiso has
burst its bonds. Fine castle-like resi-
dences now cling to the slopes of many
of the hills or perch upon the edges
of the bluffs
Valparaiso has population of 23O,-
600. 1t is by far the most important
South American Pacific port, and the
annual value of it's commerce exceeds
that of Montevideo ON the Atlantic
coast.
While Beunos Aires and Montevideo
on the east coast have been handi-
capped by the shallowness of their
harbors, valparaiso's difficulties have
lain in the opposite direction. Its
waters are SO deep that the building
Of breakwaters and jetties was de-
layed until 1912. The carrying out
of the entire harbor Improvement now
under way will cost $15,OOO,OOO or
more.
In 1906, the year in which San Fran
cisco was destroyed by earthquake
and fire, Valparaiso was also devas-
tated by the same two forces of de-
struction. Like San Francisco, South
Americas greatest Pacific port city
has risen from its crumbled stone and
ashes not merely to rehabilitate itself,
but to become even greater and more
prosperous.
Valparaiso is in practically the same
latitude as Buenos Aires, Cape Town,
and Sydney, and is about the same
distance from the equator In the south
as San Francisco and Charleston, S.
c., in the north. Because Of South
Americas position considerably to the
east of North America, Chile's great
est port is almost due south of New
York, and therefore has about the
same time.
Warships are always to be found
in the harbor Of Valparaiso, for this
is one of Chile's chief naval bases. It
is also the location of the Chilean
naval academy. whose buildings, on
a great promontory, dominate the har-
Dor. NO better view of the city and
harbor Of Valparaiso can be had than
that from the parked grounds Of this
Hae Institution.
