WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder meG-
cine.
1t is physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and
bladder do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit and
it should help you. No other kidney medi-
cine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to Dr.
kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing, be sure
and mention this per.-Advertisement.

gram of the administration. This was
Indicated following conference be-

has been advised by tax experts in the
treasury that 1t would be unwise to
attempt any further changes in tax

Secretary Mellon has been informed
that it would be folly to tinker with
the present law either during the COM

The first correct answer 10 arrive at the Herald yesterday was that of l.. NJ. McLaren, and if he will call at the Herald office, he will receive the dollar as a prize. In future contests, it would be appreciated if the guesser would put on the address after his name. The rules are simple-Address your guess 10 the "Whoozit Editor" New Britain Herald, name your man and we will do the rest. Remember, it is the first correct answer received at the Herald which gets the dollar. Everybody is falling into the spirit of the affair so, to get the prize, one has to be remarkably nimble. But that's all in the game, "Whoosit" to- night? It costs nothing to guess. No employe of the Herald is allowed to guess, nor are newsboys allowed in the contest. In order that the prize will be well distributed we will have sin gle girls day. married ladies' day, boys day and married mems day. The days that these are selected will ap- pear the, day that they are printed. Suburban day. too, will come in for its own, as will factory day and High school day. In this way we can give all chance to the dollar prize.

FUTURE BUSINESS MEN

Two small boys were selling lemon
ade from the same stand. In front
of one bowl was a sign: "Fve cents a
glass" In front of a second bowl was
sign: 1.-TWO cents glass" An old
gentleman stopped, looked at the
signs and bought glass of lemonade
at two cents. He smacked his lips
and ordered another.
When he had finished, he asked:
"How do you expect to sell any lem
onade at five cents when you offer
such a good drink at two cents?"
''Well, mister, it's this way" said
one of the boys. 'The cat fell in
that two-cent bowl about fifteen
minutes ago, so we thought we'd bet
ter sell it out fast before the news
spread too far FORBES.

FARMER PUTMAN's pHIsOsOpHY

Bargain huntin' is all right fur the
wimmin folks, but my advice to the
men is, keep away from it, especially
them bargains in seeds, which there
amt none. | tried that onct, sendin'
back east fur some alfalfy seed which
seen advertised by feller that said
he had few carloads to share with
other dirt farmers, that wasn't test
ed, but he could guarantee it true to
variety and strong in termination,
and at half price it was a big bar
gain. Well hadn't never heard of
because it was cheap, and l planted
it. When it come up the field looked
fine and green. but it worried me, be-
cause it was the first time l ever got
something fur nothin' and more than
bargained fur. 1t hurt my con-
science so wrote the Teller letter,
sauin':
Thanks for filling my order so
prompt. You sure made good on your
guarantee. You said your seed would
pS tiue W variety anu dOH uOuDI
what it is. You didn't say what va
riety, so l can't kick. l found dod-
der, peppergrass, mustard, sweet clo-
yer, dandelion, milkweed, morning
glory, wild buckwheet, dog fennel,
ragweed, sheep sorrel, sandbur, fox
tail and sow thistle-everything ex-
cept alfalfa. 1 suppose that will be
up later, if there is room for it.
feel like I ought to apologize to you
for sending you such a small sum for
so many kinds of seed. Maybe you
made mistake. I don't want to be
arrested for obtaining goods under
false pretenses, so if you will let me
know how much owe you, am will
ing to make settlement on a vari-
ETY. basis, instead of in bulk. I feel
this whole thing is my fault for not
buying from a reputable seed house
that sells its product at fair price
