WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
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
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss Of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle i'm.

However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for

BIBLE ASCRIBED TO SATAN
Evil One Declared to Have Assisted
Monk to Perform Work, for
Fearful Price.

One of the most famous copies OF
the Scriptures in existence is the one
which bears the curious title, "The
Devils Bible" 1t is an exquisite piece
OF workmanship, inscribed on 800
asses skins, and was taken to Stock
holm at the conclusion Of the Thirty
Years war.
According TO tradition this Bible
was the work of poor monk who
was condemned to death for some
detection, but was told that the SEN
tence would be committed If he would
copy out on asses skins the entire
Bible in a single night. He agreed
to try to do it but, finding the task
too great, made n compact with the
devil TO exchange his soul for the
required transcript. The devil kept
his part of the bargain, and the work
was finished on time. The monks
life was spared by his marveling
Judges, but tradition is silent as to
how he kept his end Of the agreement.

SHOALS OFFERS
STILL COMING IN
NEBRASKA SENATOR PROPOSES
FEDERAL CORPORATION TO
OPERATE PROJECTS.
BAL IM0RE MAN SUBMITS BID
Engineer Asks Committee to Consider
Proposal For 6o-4o Split in
Profits From Operation.

Washington-Four developments in
congressional consideration considera-
ton OF proposals for developing the
Muscle Shoals projects have come up
in the senate agriculture and house
military committees and in the senate.
Chairman Norris, Nebraska, OF the
senate committee, introduced a bill
providing for a semi-government cor
poration TO take over and operate the
nitrate and power projects for 80
years. The measure was drafted as
a modification OF the bill recently in
troduced by Senator Norris.
The senator also made public pro
posal received from l.. Stern, a Balti-
more, Md, consulting engineer and
manufacturer OF chemical products.
Mr.. Stern's letter requested the COM
mittee to hear him at his convenience
and said the formal tender would be
made later, the committee. deciding
informally to accede to the request.
The tentative offer OF Mr.. Stern pro-
vided for the operation OF the projects
for 25 or so years or any suitable num-
Der of years. 1t further stated that all
expenses incurred by the government
at Muscle Shoals would be repaid at
per cent annually and contained pro-
vision by which the government would
receive 60 per cent Of all net profit
made during the operation, with the
lessee retaining 40 per cent.
In the house committee an agree
ment was reached by which any lessee
of the properties would be compelled
to manufacture finished fertilizers
whether at a profit or loss. An amend
ment to this effect was made to the
bill the committee is formulating for
the house in connection with its re-
port on the proposals it has investi'
gated.
Wide differences of opinion are un-
derstood to prevail in the committee
over povisions of the offer made by
Henry Ford.

knife, the coroner's jury here decided
last week when witnesses had pieced

Huron county.
That quarrel over money affairs
and over family scandal, the nature
of which was not divulged, had been
brooding for weeks, was told the jury
by Anthony Lobert, brother of the hus.

been talking Islander" about the Lo-
berts. Joseph refused to pay any at
tention to it. Mrs. Lobert had insist
ed he take steps to stop the neighbor-
hood gossip about her, and evidently
the fight to death was the result.
