Il You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have YOU ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex'
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotteny The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine:
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as ike
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 so large
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success OF Dr.
Kilmers Swamp Root 10 due to the fact,
SO many people claim, that it fulhlls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri'
nary troubles and neutralires the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

impossible to Get Light From Wax
Candle Without the Presence Of
Necessary Gases.

A wax candle really is gastorch.
You will find that when you apply a
lighted match to the wick Of candle
it will not light readily. You have to
hold the match to the wick until the
wick burns sufficiently to heat the wax
hot enough TO turn it into gases which,
on mixing with the oxygen in the air,
produce the fire in the form of light,
The candle will continue TO be
lighted and to burn as long as the
wax continues hot enough to give off
the gases or until the candle is en-
tirely consumed, Any interruption to
this process OF transforming the wax
into gas will result in the eXtingulsh-
ing of the light.
The reason the candle goes out
when you blow on the flame is that
the gases which feed the flame at the
end of the wick are blown away, the
process Of turning the hot wax into
gas is interrupted and with the gas
supply shut off the flame is extin-

National Judge Advocate Decides Or
oanization Officer Ineligible If

A decision of far-reaching impor-
tance as affecting the participation in
politics of men holding office in the
American Legion has just been hand

tional judge advocate OF the Legion, in
response to an inquiry from the Inter
Post Council of Los Angeles, Cal.
At It's annual election held in De-
cember a Los Angeles post elected
Claiming Toilette as commander for
1921. a short time afterwards Fol
lette was appointed justice of the

Los Angeles county.
The question arose whether, In view
Of the fact that Toilette had been APP
pointed to an office which, In its ma
ture, except in the matter of filling
vacancies. is an elective. salaried pub
lie office, he was eligible to serve as
an officer of the Legion.
In his official ruling, the national
judge advocate says:
This being a salaried. elective pub
lie office, 1t is my opinion that the
method of filling a vacancy is not Is
sentia! in determining the eligibility
Of q LegiOnaira holding such Office.
The office is elective, although the case
with which we deal is that of an ap-
pOintmcnt.
The purpose Of the constitutional
provision IS. of course, TO prevent, so
far as possible, the use by a member
Of the Legion o. his Legion member
ship in furtheri.lg a political career.
Consequently, the effect of an ap-
pointment is in no wise dissimilar
from an election, and it is my opinion
that the incumbent is, by the accept
ance OF his office, rendered Ineligible
for the office Of Che American Legion"
IL is believed that many Legion
members. appointed to political Offices
