WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
1t is physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp Root and start
treatment at once.
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

Two girls were crossing a Coney
Island street. One had on a heavy,
old-fashioned brilliantine bathing suit,
with long skirt, high neck and elbow
sleeves. The other was in street
clothes. A policeman stopped them.
"You!" he called to the bathing
beauty, you can't pass here dressed
IKE that. Go back and put on some
decent clothes!''
The girl looked down at herself.
then up at the policeman and smiled.
"Why, look at Mame!" she ex-
claimed, what about her getting by?'
The officer glanced at the other girl.
She wore a filmy net waist, glaringiy
transparent, generously decollete, and
a skirt ending a few inches above her
knees.

DO y0M discriminate at the dining

In thousands of homes,

breakfast table. Tea or
coffee is served for
'grown-ups" and Postum

parents do not discrinin-

the injurious contents of
coffee and tea, seriously
retard the development of

Consequently, instead

children are over stinu-

grow up irritable and

great evil and should be
corrected.
Although some par

indulgence in coffee, yet
the harm to them may
be equally serious. 1t

MENTAL DEPRESSION

about by a state of mind rather
than by an economic condition
which is governed by the law

slowing up of industry. And we

GRAZING FEES POSTPONED

Postponement until August 1st
for grazing fees due on National
Forest permits has been granted
by the Secretary of Agriculture.
In a telegram to this effect re-
ceived at the office of the District
Forester for the Southwestern
District in Albuquerque, New
Mexico, the additional informa-
tion given was to the effect that
this postponement was applicG-
BILE for all grazing seasons be-
ginning before July 18th. The
present critical financial condi-
tion prevailing in stock regions,
is given as the reason for this
postponement.
Due principally to increased
administrative costs to handle
this departure from the usual
procedure, the secretary has
ruled in addition that one per
cent will be added to present
fees for each month or major
fraction therefore of the period
deferred prior to August 1st.
The minimum amount of increase
under this ruling will be one
dollar.

MAKING GOOD WILL COUNT

The people of the United States
are responding to the call for
help of suffering peoples in all
parts of the world. There is
every evidence of general good
will and sympathy toward such
work as Herbert Hoover's child
feeding in Europe, toward re-
habilitation of devastated areas
in the war zone, toward the re-
lief of China's starving millions.
There is one thing lacking. how
ever. in this friendly attitude to-
ward the people of other nations.
There seems to be little appre-
citation of the need for similar
good will in the national attitude
toward foreign policies which
would help to restore normal con-
ditions abroad. There is plenty
of interest in measures for for
eign relief, but little enthusiasm
for helping to remedy the eco
nomic troubles which make such
relief necessary. AS one writer
has expressed it:
Next winter hunger again
will be stalking from the Baltic
to the Black Sea, unless organ
lied succor is paralleled with in
ternational economic measures
which will set free sthe self-sus-
tanning life of the people con-
cerned." Of such international
measures the United States ap-
pears to be peculiarly shy at
present.
In part, this timidity and aloof-
ness are due to shortsighted
leadership. But partly the lead
ship has been weak because Of
popular reaction against every
thing foreign which does not
have an immediate human ap-
peal. In the end, if some of the
good will which promotes relief
work is not injected into other
international relations, the effect
will be very nearly as disastrous
to the Old World and the New
a. war itself.
