II You Need a Medicine

It is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out

reason il PLAINTIFF 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 l 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 q

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,
30 many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney.

Bed Time Story

Once upon time there was a man named Orn-some
folks called him Twilight"
He used to stand out the in small town
and whisper few words to the people, who gathered
around to hear what he had He did not dare speak
out loud for fear the people in the next town might hear
him and there might be there in that next town
trying to talk to the people.
So all the people would gather up close within three
four blocks and he would just whisper his to them
Now there in town not far from St. Paul who
says that this On cannot speak his town. He has heard
stories of this On with the great big voice. and fear is
within the man. you bet he's afraid this On might forget

ST. PAUL KHAN MEETS
UNDER DRIPPING SKIES

The St. Paul Khan met as usual
last Monday night under dripping
skies and initiated large class of
candidates with appropriate cere-
monials. A display of fireworks was
added to the usual ritual making the
work more impressive. This was the
last and most successful open-air
meeting of st. Paul organization this
year.
The feature of the meeting was the
fact that the first two hundred men
in St. Paul Khan were the guests of
honor. The strange thing about it
was that all the "Old Timers" who
talked to US that evening were max
ing plans for the future and were
not recalling the past, showing that
progress is being made in Klankraft
which is essentially a forward look
ing science, always building for the
future.
On account of the rain the meet
ing was not so well attended as
would have been the case had the
weather been good, but according to
press reports was attended by 500
men, all enthusiastic devotees of
Klankraft.
The address of the evening was
made by the Grand Dragon of the
Realm of Minnesota and was given
to a discussion of the Oklahoma sit
uation, and matters within the Or
ganization.
Altogether it was the most enthu-
siastic meeting of the year and no
doubt but what st. Paul Klan will
continue it's rapid growth and de-
velopment.

KHAN WINS IN MAINE
ELECTION RESULTS IN DIG
KHAN VICTORY FOR OFFICE;
BETTER CIVIC GOVERNMENT

Portland, Me.-The peril of the Ku
Klux Khan has made its appearance
in the state of Maine. It was so
much in evidence at the local election
here this week as to cause cold shiv-
ers to run down the spines Of the
local political bosses who have been
running the city for the past few
it's first victory in the fight to obtain
good government OF civic affairs.
Plan No. 8, as it is termed, for a
new city charter, which was backed
by the Klan, and also very largely
by the women voters, was adopted
by a majority of 2,347 votes. AS a
result the old form of government,
which has done duty for 81 years,

In place of a mayor and council,
Portland will be governed by a COM

The victory for the knights OF
darkness was totally unexpected up
until the time the votes were counted
The election brought out an un-
usually heavy vote, but there was ev-
cry indication up to 6 o'clock that
the supporters of plan 1 were hold
ing their own.
AS ward after ward was counted
the old guard stared in amazement
Not only had the Khan and it's friends
carried their own wards, eight and
nine, but they took a number Of the
others.
Mayor Carol S. Chaplin, whose de-
iance of the Klansmen evidently was
instrumental in his defeat, issued a
statement shortly after the returns
were learned.
cit is apparent that the citizens of
Portland desire change" he said.

the welfare Of my native city still at

ance to a fair trial of the new charter
in accordance with the public will
City officials, who will probably lose
their positions as the result of the
election, are not inclined to make any
public statements. AS they were
mostly opposed to the active interest
taken by the Khan and the women
voters in the election, it is but natural
that they do not have very much to
say at the present time. City Clerk
Frank Welch philosophically says,
ut seems to be the will of the peo-
ple," which sentiment is endorsed ov-
erwhelmingly by the Klan, the wo-
men voters, and nearly all the solid
citizens of Portland.
