Il You Need a Medicine
You Should Have The Best

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
article did not fulfil the promises Of
the manufacturer. This applies more
particularly to 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 ! 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
kidney remedy has so large a sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony Of thousands who
have used the preparation, the sue
cess of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Roo IL
due to the fact. so many people
claim, that it fulfils almost every
wish in ~ grooming kidney. liver and
bladder ailments, corrects urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

HORSE MARKET
Boston. March 27--The movement
in horses at the various sale stables
Of the city was active and while no
higher prices prevailed there was a
frmer tone. and a large number of
horses in all classes changed hands,
with but a very few horses unsold at
the weeks end. At the western
! market prices are somewhat higher.
as the bad roads have prevented
breaking in the young horses. SO that
the demand is more limited. Here
prices are more irregular, some
horses making money for the dealers
while loss is suffered on others. At
retail the best horses are what the
buyer wants. and they pay fair val
ues when satisfied, but when the
i better grades are put up at auction
! bids come in slowly. while a more
ordinary animal will bring quick
| bids. More horses were bought for
immediate use than for several weeks,

started well. All dealers are bothered

one prediction was made and that
was that it was going to grow colder
before it grew any warmer. but no
money was in sight to make it a
matter of record.
Yesterday morning opened cold
but not much colder than previous
days. But the sun failed to thaw

run and at o'clock yesterday after
noon the thermometer on Water

in the balcony were invited to take

Swift introduced Adjutant General
Hanson, who spoke shortly before the
pictures were shown. He said that
the lO33rd Infantry, of which co. Il

is the regiment that went through
the World war with SO much credit to
itself. He spoke Of the fact that by
recent orders, the flag Of this regi-
ment is entitled to bear eight stream
ers in the field, one for each of the
ma Tor battles in which the regiment
participated during the war. The
regiment. although with many new
men. will carry the traditions ana

Commons Debate :,
Fails Indicate New
Policy on the Ruhr

London, March %. (By A. P.)-
The debate this evening in the
House of Commons on the Ruhr
question. which had been much an
ticipated as possibly indicating a
new line Of British policy, lacked
much Of its expected interest.
This was due first to the absence
OF 2rime Minister Bonar Law, who
is still suffering from a mild throat
affection: second to Premier Poin-
cares renewed declaration against
any mediation and probably also to
the possibility that something may
decelop from the current conferences
in Milan between Premier Musso-
lini Of Italy, Foreign Minister Jas
par Of Belgium. and others, arising
from Hugo Shines visit to Italy.
All these considerations taken to-
gether did not prevent Sir Laming
Wol thington- Evans, former Premier
Asquith. J. Ramsay Macdonald. and
Sir Edward Grigg, who opened the
debate tonight. from strongly criti-
to provoke the government into
taking a stronger line. Their efforts.
however, were unsuccessful. I
kotdliIey bdIuWIH, CHdHCcllOT VI Tue
excheqaer, who replied for the gov
ernment, took previously the same
line that the prime minister has
taken on previous occasions.
Mr.. Baldwin said the government
was in close touch with the Allies
and the other countries concerned.
and he was convinced the French
would recognize. when the oppor-
tune moment came. for any inter-
vention, that the British had been
perfectly Straightforward through
out and they would also be accepted
by Germany as honest negotiators.
