 AlcOrn's Contention
 It was the contention of Mir. Alcorr the crime of bribery was not commit ted by McAuliffe under color of of. flee but rather outside the perform ance of the duties of his office.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the BeSi

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 forgotten? The
reason is plain-the 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 like
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 I 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 a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post Address

Rabbits and Mosquitoes.

Careful observations have been
made, in France, of the extent to
which mosquitoes are attracted to do
mestic animals in preference to hu-
man beings. 1t was proved expert
mentally that mosquitoes have a
strong prediction for the blood of
rabbits, stronger than for that of any
other domestic animal. The discovery
has been practically applied to many
parts of France as a protection from
mosquitoes, and particularly from
