at the same place on consecutive days.
AS neither hears well, their brief

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
it's remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as.
tonishing statement that one reason why
80 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica.
lions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. It is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles Of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

sample brittle. When writing be sure and

Jews Take Up Farming.

When the Federation Of Jewish
farmers in America recently held Its
twelfth annual convention in New

that there are more than 10000 Jews
who own their own farms in the
United States. The total value Of the
land amounts to more than $5O,OOO,-
600. while the mechanical equipment
is worth an additional $1O,OOOOOO.

of property of war veterans was twice
reported out by the house ways and
means committee for indefinite post
ponement, but was placed upon the
calendar by a vote of IS to 2, and

Grams $4,000 to Spanish American war
veterans, and $500 to world war vet
Grams. The civil and Spanish Amer
lean war veterans already have an

the men who fought in the recent

ed by the American legion.

Little Constructive Work

AS general thing the legislature
has been chiefly active in defeating
proposed legislation, and has done
very little constructive work.
The house has passed a bill to le-
galize the sale of cigarettes to per-
sons more than 81 years of age, and
this bill is likely to pass the senate.
The house also passed a bill provid-
ing for mild censorship of moving
picture films, which will probably be
defeated in the senate
The w. C. T. U. bill to increase
the age of consent from Is to Is
years was defeated in the senate

1t out for indefinite postponement,
and the senate then sent it to the

in it's trouble in the senate.

UNDER THE GOLDEN DOME

Des Moines.-Iowa's thirty-ninth
general assembly is preparing to adj
journ after a session marked by lit
tie legislation of revolutionary ma
ture, and during which the conserva-
tive element has had absolute con-
troll of both branches.
With the exception of the soldier
acted are likely to be Of vital inn
portance to the great mass Of the
public.
Perhaps the most important bill
passed during the last weeks is the
Springer bill creating court of pub
lie service for the purpose of pass
ing upon disputes between cities and
towns and their public service cor
porations. This bill is similar in
general plan to the public utilities
commissions proposed in former legis-
latures, and always defeated.
AS passed by the house and senate
it provides for the submission of dis
putes relating to franchise conditions
or rates to tribunal of judges of the
district court, to be appointed by the
chief justice of the supreme court to
pass upon any case which may arise.
None of the three judges can be from
the district in which the litigation is
taking place.. and the hearing is to
be held in the city where the contro-
versy arises, unless it is desired to
hold the hearing at Des Moines, where
the secretary of the court will have
his office.
House Would Recall
The bill passed the house by a big
vote, but just before the senate was
ready to act the house repented and
requested that the measure be re-
turned by the senate This the SEN
ate refused to do, and it then passed
the bill 40 to 10. >
The most vital provision Of the
bill is the feature which makes all
franchises now in effect or to be
granted in the future indeterminate
in their extent. The bill provides
that no public utility corporation can
be deprived of it's franchise as long
as it complies with the law. This
provision was the center of attack by

TAP SETTLEMENT
 |S BELIEVED NEAR
EXPECTS ADJUSTMENT BEFORE DISARMAMENT MEETING IN
 WASHINGTON.
CHlNA'S HELP IS WELCOMED
Japan's Attitude Towards Discussion of Far East QueetIons at Proposed Meeting May Not Be Hostile,
 Dispatches Show.

Tokie.-Negotiation between the United States and Japan relative to the status of the island of Yap have progressed so favorably that it is con fidently expected a settlement of that question will be reached before con Vening of the conference called by President Harding to discuss arma- ment and settlement of problems in the Pacific. according to the Kokusai News Agency, which uotes well in- formed sources"
 Japan, it is said, heartily welcomes the inclusion of China in the proposed conferences, as Chinese and Siberian problems are expected to form lmpor- tant topcis for discussion, and Chi nese participation, consent and un- derstanding are essential if any of the decisions reached are to be put into effective operation.
 The conference is declared to offer an excellent opportunity for the DOW CTS to reach @ unanimous decision on Far Eastern questions, although it is pointed out that historical and other considerations affecting the various nations may make immediate enforce. ment of conference decisions matter of some difficulty
 Many leaders of Japanese thought are expressing the opinion that Japan will have at Washington the golden opportunity of her history to make known to the world her desires, and reach the understanding with the United States, which is regarded as so vital to Japans future
 Despite the reservations contained in Japan's reply to President Hard ing's invitation to take part in the conference, the answer is regarded as virtual acceptance
 It is forecast that when America defines the problems to be taken up at the conference, Japan will prepare a list of questions which she deems essential for discussion. These. IL IS expected, will be roughly grouped un- der the headings of population, food and raw materials, the last of which, it is contended, should be freely avail. able to Japan, including cotton from the United States and India
 It is generally held that the ques. tion of Japanese immigration to the American continents and the British dominions must be discussed in con. nection with Japan's population prob, lem. Japan also is expected to urge the according of .most favored na- tion" treatment to her products in all countries, and to urge that China should be opened up to the world, in. cluding Japan, for residence and busi. ness.
