WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect 1T.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of
ambition, nervousness are oftentimes
symptoms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
kilmers Swamp-Root, a 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 imme-
diately from any drug store.
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 observation-disclosures

Washington.-The senate has passed
the soldier bonus bill. Passage of the
insurance measure by the senate in
substantially the same form as ap
proved by the house, left only minor
differences between the chambers for
adjustment in conference and it is ex-
pected to be ready soon for President
Coolidge's consideration.
No word on the subject of bonus
legislation has come from the presi-
dent since his message to congress,
He declared against a bonus at that
time, hut it has been predicted in some
quarters recently that he might ap.
prove the insurance plan. At the same
time proponents of the bill have ex-
pressed confidence that, even If he
should disprove 1t. sufficient votes
were assured in both the house and
senate to over ride a veto. The bin
was passed by the senate Wednesday,
April %. ca to Il and the vote in the
house was $50 to "A. much than
the necessary two-thirds majority re,
quired to pass a over a veto.

La Toilette Gets
His Hour IL, Sun
As Senate Opens
Smiles and Glad Hands of
Colleagues Greet Ousted
One.
BY ROBERT T.. SMALL.

There is no telling where he may
stand at the end of this short session
of the Senate. but certainly at the
! opening, Fighting Bob La Toilette
is the real hero. No man ever seemed
so thoroughly to enjoy being thrown
out of his party. lock, stock and bar
rel. The cat that ate the canary, the
tiger that made off with the lady in
side. both rolled into one, could not
approach the smile that wreaths the
rugged features of the stormy petrol
from Wisconsin. At the opening ses-
sion of the Senate he greeted his "ex-
ecutioners" with as much gusto as he
did his friends and his most recent
running mate, the Hon. Burton h.
Wheeler, still a Democrat. of Mon
tana.
George. Old fellow, how are you:
bless your old soui; come here and
give me both your hands,"
That was La Follette's salutation to
| the Hon. George Fl. Moses, Senator
from New Hampshire, as the Hon.
George formed in line to greet the
erstwhile candidate of the Progressive
party for President Mr.. Moses was
| one of the most enthusiastic OF the
throw 'em OUT bloc in the Republican
| conference. But that made no difer-
| ence. He had helped to give Fighting
| Bob another hour in the sun. SO
George and Bob stood there in the SEN
ate chamber with their arms on each
| others shoulders and beamed and
beamed and beamed.
1t was that way all down the line
Standing at his desk. which is on the
| front row, center aisle, OF the senate

| with an additional: so glad to hear
you have been made leader of my

| were many Rooseveltian "dee-light-
eds" interspersed with the rest of the
| greetings.
1t was Bob's day. His friend. Mr..

to wait until March 4.
Senator La Follettes associates in
party adversely - the honorables
Brookhart of Iowa. Ladd and
| Frazier of North Dakota-did not
appear near so happy as the
leader Of their set. But then
they have not been in the Sem
ate so long and haven't so many inti-
mate friends. All the Senator's made
! it plain to La Toilette that they were
chastising him not through any per-
sonal dislike, but merely as matter
| of party discipline. Bob thanked them
all kindly. Bob has been in the Sem
ate 90 years and apparently can stay
there just as long as he wants, call
! him by whatever name you will. Just
| at the moment he seems to be in ex-
| cellent health and spirits.
