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 thG
result of kidney or bladder disease.
: If the kidneys are not in healthy con.
dition, they may cause the other organs
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, 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 inn
mediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test thii
great preparation send ten cents to DR.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for 9
sample bottle. When writing be sure and

NEEDS OF THE HOUR

What the railroads need Is night
Waterman to arouse public attention
to the necessity for railway expansion
in the construction of new lines, more
locomotives, freight cars and terminal
facilities It is deplorable that there
has been a decrease of over 1900 miles
of road in the United States since 1915,
that there were more locomotives re-
tired than installed in 1922, that the
replacement of new for old freight
cars has not averaged over eighty per
cent a year, and that passenger equip
ment is equally behind in the matter
of new cars.
In the face of these handicaps, the
railways are being managed so eff
GENTLY that they are handling greater
volume of traffic than was ever known
for the first three months Of the year.
Under such conditions car shortages
are inevitable. Railway managers,
however, are not discouraged, but on
faith are ordering new equipment and
other facilities at an unprecedented
rate. That faith must rest on the be-
lief that few radical politicians can
not fool the people all the time.
The Federal Constitution gives the
railways the right to earn a fair re-
turn upon the fair value of their prop
erty devoted to transportation. The
LaFollette Federal Valuation Act has
dried up the old cry of "Waterl Wa
teri" and gives assurance to the pub
lie Of valuation based on law and
facts. In cooperation with the State
Railroad Commissions, the Interstate
Commerce Commission has lately
found the value of the railways as of
December 81, 1921, to be $19,412, 2O1,-
600, and has fixed 5A9o as a fair re-
turn thereon. This should result in a
net operating income of $1,116,0 900.
The railways can earn this return if
the radicals will stop tearing up their
rails and give them trial.
Rates and wages have reached an
equitable standard which, If main
tanned, will yield satisfactory and pro-
gressive results. If wages go up, so
must rates; and If rates go down. so
must wages.
Present rates do not restrict traffic
and are not out of proportion to the
value of the goods transported When
prices, wages and fuel costs approach
pre-war levels, it will be time to talk
Of readjusting rates and wages. Team
work between the public, the railways
and their employees is the transporta-
tion need of the hour.
The foregoing facts call for serious
consideration and should make an ap-
peal to all thinking persons. -Adver-
tisement.

PUT ASIDE TIL TEMPTATION
Woman Candidate for Political Prefer

ted that there are times when the

also because they feared his Russian
policy would lead to war. SO Curzon,
prevented from realizing his greatest
ambition, was compelled to step aside
and Baldwin was offered and accepted
the position.
This, it would appear, was fortunate
for Great Britain and gratifying to the
world at large, for Baldwin gives
promise Of being more accomplished
and skillful statesman than the AFRO
CANT Lord Curzon. He is fairly ac-
ceptable to the Labor party in Eng
land, and certainly his appointment is
pleasing to France, which blames Cur
zon for much of the trouble she has
had In the Ruhr occupation and for the
threatened break with Belgium over
the methods to be pursued there. In
Washington Mr.. Baldwin created de-
cidedly favorable impression by the
way in which he conducted the nego-
war debt to America. He Is pre-
eminently a business man with a
knowledge of finances that was dis
played best by the budget which, as
chancellor Of the exchequer, he sub
mitted to parliament not long ago. At
this writing Baldwin has not completed
his cabinet, but 1t is said there will be
few changes. Curzon will remain as
secretary for foreign affairs. Lord
Robert Cecil, protagonist for the
League of Nations, will probably be
given portfolio as chancellor of the
duchy of Lancaster.

Sir Horace, aided by the French, has
been trying to find ground for COM

Given Karagatch, the west bank Of the
Martha and the railway from Kara
catch to Constantinople, in lieu Of cash.
The Turks did not reply definitely. but
the Greeks asserted, informally, that
they would make no such offer.
Meanwhile both sides are preparing
Cor warfare. The Greek army in
Thrace, which Henry J. Allen says
numbers 100000 men, is lined up along
the Martha and the threat Is that it
win march against Constantinople. A
considerable Greek fleet is cruising
about the entrance to the Dardanelles,
and the Turkish government has lodged
with the British a protest against its
presence there. The Turks assert that
Lf Greece wants war they are ready,
and that their troops In Anatolia can
reach Constantinople in two days,
while It would take the Greek army at
least fifteen days even without oppo-
sition. One Turkish general is quoted
lis saying: "The Turks feel certain
That Greece will not start fight with
but allied support. For this reason
Turkish officials are threatening Mosul
and Syria, and those provoking or en-
couraging the Greeks to attack Con-
Htantinople should take this into con-
bideration."
The Turks, it is said, either have de-
stroyed or are ready to destroy all the
bridges over the Martha. 1t is known
that they have mined the bridge that
connects Karagatch with Adrianople.

DOSSIBLY directed by Russian
\ agents, the communists in the
Ruhr decided last week that the time
for direct action had come. In Gelsen-
kirchen, after bloody fights with the
police, they seized the police headquar-
tiers and hoisted the red flag, and in
Dortmund there was another desperate
conflict. A general strike, nominally
against the cost of food, is in effect in
the Ruhr and is spreading rapidly. In
some towns commissions of control
forced the dealers to reduce prices.
Communist leaders say men of all
parties have joined in the strike. It
was asserted by the German press
that these disturbances were fostered
by the French. To this the French
retorted that their officials at Dussel-
dorf had knowledge that Moscow had
sent more than 100000 Swiss francs
to the Ruhr to further the scheme to
/ create a Soviet republic, and that the
Russians had also sent two shiploads
of wheat for the use of the communists.

100 and were capably commanded. The
French troops refused to interfere In
the fights.
