FOOD INSPECTION COST LOW
CONSIDERING SIZE OF TASK

Federal supervision Of manufactur-
ed food products is carried on at
very low cost considering the great
quantity OF food inspected. According
to the United States Department Of
Agriculture, this cost has been less
than one-hundredth of 1 per cent Of
the value of these products. That the
job Of looking after the conditions Of
the goods is .. big one is indicated
by census figures, which show that in
1919 there were 81 .453 establishments
engaged in the manufacture OF food
products. with an annual output val
ued at $13,391, $4,000. These figures
include manufactured foods only and
do not take into account the great
volume OF commerce in raw foods
such as milk, fresh fish. wheat, corn.
oats, fruits and vegetables. To these
large amounts must also be added the
food products imported, which in 1921
amounted to $672. .s75.000.

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 a healthy condition, they may cause the other or gans to become diseased.
 Pain in the back, headache, loss of ann bition, nervousness, are often times symp- toms of kidney trouble.
 Don't delay starting treatment. Dr. Kilmer's SwampRoot, a physician's pre- scription, obtained at any drug store, may be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.
 Get a medium or large size bottle im- mediately from any drug store.

And the Discussion Ended.

Two little boys, living in different towns, one day were visiting an aunt in distant city. A discussion arose between them as to the merits of their home towns. The heights of their re- spective churches became part of the discussions.
 "Our church reaches above the tree tops" said one.
 Our church reaches to the sky" retorted the other.
 "Oh, but the steeple of our church reached clear above the sky and punched a hole through heaven," ex- claimed the first boy, and this closed the argument.
