If You Need q Medicine
You Should Have the Besi

Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products that
are extensively advertised, all at once
drop out of sight and are soon for
gotten? The reason is plain-the ar
tidle did not. fulfill the promises of
the manufacturer. This applies more
particularly to medicine. A medi
cinal preparation that has real cura-
tive 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, preparation | have sold for
many years and never hesitate to
recommend, for in almost every case
it shows excellent results, as many of
my customers testify. No other kid
ney 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 fulfills almost every
wish in overcoming kidney, liver and
bladder ailments, corrects urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
whic hcauses rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle of
Swamp-Reot by parcel post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghampton, N.
Y, and enclose ten cents; also men

MANY PROSPER
ON AUTO THEFTS
Laws And Locks Prove made
quate AS Long AS Market For
Stolen Cars Exists

CHICAGO, March 7.-Destroy the
market for stolen automobiles and
thereby stop the thefts, is the plan
now in process of formation by the
Interstate Motor Theft commission
here.
/ Laws, locks and protective de-
vices have proved themselves made
quate, says w. r. Van Courtland,
commissioner. The professional mo-
tor car thief is unabashed. Motor
vehicles of an approximate value of
100000, the commissioner says, are
stolen every day in the United States.
despite all measures taken to check
the thievery. Large numbers Of per-
sons thrive as result of the traf-
fic.
The plan is this:
A car is stolen in Chicago. If the
numbers are changed one of two
things happens, either a duplicate of
some other number is made or fake
number, one that the manufacturer
never placed on ear. When the car
is sold and re-registered in any state
some number must be given. A du-
plicate number will Immediately be
caught and the two or more cars
carrying that number will be thor
oughiy Investigated. A fake num-
Der will show up just as quickly and
be looked into. If the number is
not changed there will be report
of the number on the commissions
records as that of a stolen car and
when the same number is registered
again from the same state or any
otner it will be Immediately caught.
The lack of any national clearance
system in the past has been one of
the largest contributing factors in
making this lawlessless easy and prof
table. Mr.. Van CORTLAND states.
With the commissions national clear
ance system in operation car stolen
in Maine, the number changed and
the car sold and registered in Cali
fornia. would Immediately be caught,
he asserts.
The plants virtually "fingerprint"
system as applied to automobiles. A
master record of every car registered
in the AZ states as we'll as the new
cas- that come into existence is to
be kept at the commissions head
quarters. The numerical arrange
ment of the records makes a checking
of any vehicle simple and automatic.
A "Smith Eight" for example, en-
CINE number 1884, is registered with
the state. The commission receives
tins number and goes to post it but
finds another Smith Eight" already
registered in that state or some other
and they do not correspond in de-
tail. 1t is immediately apparent that
one is Incorrect. No man changes

One of the boys became dead drunk, and was dragged into a local church. where he was later found by friends.
 At the call of Messrs.

Durant, Neil, J. R. White, Judge A. P. Longshore, ". L. Acuff and Fred c. Koeng. Vigorous resolutions condemning law lessness were unanimously passed, and plans were formulated for a law and order organization.
 The organization consists of the following officers: Fred c. Koenig, chairman; J. l.. Peters. vice chairman; W. J. Horsley, secretary-treasurer and ]. R. White. ". l.. Acuff and L. Fl. Ellis executive committee.
 One of the unique features of this organization is that the chairman is authorized and empowered to ap- point members of a secret commit tee, whose duty it will be to report acts of lawlessness to the chairman so that prompt action may be taken. Only the chairman knows who these secret committeeman are, and the few bootleggers who ply their ne- furious trade are thus kept in the dark.

School Bond Issue
 , Held Inualid by State Tribunal

Montgomery, May 25.-(Special.1- Declaring Montgomery school bond issue of $1.000,000 invalid and void, tile supreme court of Alabama in a decision Thursday held that the or dinance providing for the election and issuance of the bonds was not worded in conformance with the ex- ception provided in the constitution, to the constitutional limitation of in- debtedness prescribed for cities in the class of Montgomery.
 The decision was rendered in the case of W. NJ. Browder vs. the city of Montgomery. in which action Browder contended that the million dollar bond issue was invalid be- cause 1t exceeded the city's consti- tutional limit of indebtedness. Re- viewing the case on appeal, the su- - prefne court called attention to the fact that the ordinance providing for the bond issue. stated that the proceeds of the bonds were to be used for extending, enlarging, im- proving or repairing and equipping and furnishing the public schools of the city of Montgomery.
 It was recalled also that both sides to the question. at issue had admitted that the pohu issue WAS in excess of the city's debt limit, but the city maintained that the is- sue came within the meaning of the constitutional exception. The opin- ion in the case, in which all justices of the court concurred. pointed out, however, that this constitutional ex- ception under which the debt limit might be exceeded, stated clearly that this could only be done in the case of bonds issued for the purpose of acquiring. providing or construct ing school houses, water works and sewers. There is, it was pointed out. 8 vast difference between the two.
