Readers of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or 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 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 DR..
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 Swsmp-Root, the great kidney,
liver and bladder medicine, will do for
them. By enclosing ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y, you
may receive sample size bottle by Parcel
Post. You can purchase medium and
large size bottles at all drug stores.

MINERS RETURN TO WORK
Direct Interest In Productivity Of
Mines Granted Workers On Profit
Sharing Basis

London.-The British coal mine
strike, which has been in progress
since April l, has been settled, il has
been officially announced.
II is understood that Lloyd-George,

authorize the granting of ten million
pounds sterling subsidy to the mining
industry. The miners will resume
work generally. If the subsidy is grant

owners for a settlement had been voted
down.
The general understanding is that
the submission of the subsidy propo-
sition to parliament is a mere formal
ity. and that the grant will be voted
Prime Minister Lloyd George an
nounces in the house of commons that
the executive body of the miners I'M
ion has agreed to refer the terms pro
posed for a settlement of the strike
to the men, who will be asked to re-
turn to work.
The claim of the miners to national
wage pool has been abandoned, Lloyd
George says, and a settlement has been
attained which will insure peace for a
long period through a system by which
the workers would share with the min
ers of the industry, and will obtain a
direct interest in productivity. The
prime minister expresses the belief
that this will be the largest example
of profit-sharing in any country in
the world
The government has recommended a
subsidy not exceeding ten million
pounds sterling for the period until the
end of September, he says, beyond
which time there will be no subsidy
Wages will be reduced not to exceed |
shillings per shift in July, a half
crown in August and shillings in
September, and a national wage board |
will be created, consisting of equal
numbers of Representatives of the en-
1loyers and the workmen.
