Important to All Women
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

to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irTi-
table and maybe Respondent; it makes
any one 90.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
KiImer's Swamp Root, by restoring health
to the kidneys, proved to be just the
remedy needed to overcome such condi-
tions.
Many send for . sample bottle to sae
what Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver

color is an important item that adds,
with dainty trimmings and decora-

women adore In all their apparel.
Cotton fabrics divide favor with
those of silk and both are liked in
light colors. Just now light pink,
peach, or "honeydew," pink shades
approaching coral, and orchid are in
demand. Crepe de chine, crepe-satln,
and even the fragile-looking georgette
crepe are employed in simple
styles. In crepe-satin, trimmings Of
self material, made of narrow folds
In lattice or other open-work Dor
ders, are featured, but there are many
lace trimmed models. French triple
wolfe, in light colors and white,
adorned with lace and handwrought
needle work, is acknowledged to be as
beautiful as silk.

REASONABLE WAGE CUTS.

1t is natural enough for the mainten-
ance-of-way railroad employees to object
to having their wages reduced. Nobody
likes that sort of experience. All that
they can properly demand, however. is
that there be no discrimination against
them, and that their revised pay be
suitably adjusted to the current cost of
living.
As regards this latter point. it should
be observed that the new wage scale is
appreciably higher than that of five
years ago, even when estimated in pur-
chasing power. The majority decision
Of the railroad labor board agreed to by
the railroad and public representatives.
holds that with the reduction in effect
the wages will still buy 445 per cent
more than they bought in the spring of
1917, while the labor representatives adj
NIT that the new wages will buy at least
1913 per cent more
There are many cases, no doubt. where
the ruling will cause hardship. 1t NAV
be said, though, that the majority of
Americans would be pretty well satisfied
just now if they were assured of an in
come large enough to provide one-ffth
more Of the necessaries of life than they
were able to command in 1917.
As for discrimination. it is expected
that that viii be avoided by the extern
sion of similar reductions to the other
railroad employees, who for the most
part receive much higher pay. and who.
indeed, are among the best paid workmen
in the country. 1t is not apparent
either, that these railroad labor cuts are
any more severe than those which have
been absorbed" by corresponding
classes of workmen in other industries
The railroad men cannot expect to be
treated as a specially privileged class
they must take their dehation along with
the rest.
