Thousands upon thousands of women

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 a healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss OF ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-
BILE and may be respondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DIR.
kilmer's Swamp-Root by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be Just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for a sample bottle to see what
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder medicine, will do for them. BY
enclosing ten cents to DIR. Kilmer 4 Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y, you may receive sam

Washlngton.-A continuous series Of
international conferences, whose fru
itiOn may be an Association of ma
TONS" has been suggested informally
by President Harding to some of the
arms delegates and has met with their
general approval. The suggestion by
no means has reached the point of a
definite proposal for such an associa-
ton, but it vas revealed that the
Presidents personal conversations
with foreign spokesman on the sub
ject had greatly increased his hope for
Il new day in international relationship
as a result of the Washington confer
ence.
1t was indicated further that as a
first step toward worldwide recogni-
ton for the conference plan, the re-
suits of the negotiations here might be
submitted for approval not only to the
participating nations, but to those not
represented here, including Germany
and r.
So suggestions of Mr..
lla: .Ieen made known they
contemplate a meeting of nations
about the council table One a year to
thresh out troublesome questions and
devise means for the preservation of
peace. 1t is said to be the hope of the
President that in the end all the
smaller governments will join with the
great powers in whatever discussions
may concern them or the world situa-
ton generally.
There Is no indication that any COW
enant or any constitution would be
proposed as the basis of the plan, or
that any elaborate international ma
chinery would be suggested to convey
it into effect. The meetings might be
convened to consider special subjects
or merely to survey international re-
lationships and look for danger points
In a general effort at good understand

Whether an International court of

a subject which the President Is said
