Children Have Kidney Trouble Three years ago my little girl, An gela, was taken sick with scarlet fever and later dropsy set in; her face and limbs swelled and her eyes puffed. A leading physician here at the time, treated her without the slightest suc cess. A sample of your Swamp-Root having been left at the house at the time, I resolved to try it, and as it agreed with her stomach I continued using It with gratifying results. The inflammation began to subside after she had taken the first fifty-cent bot tle, and after she took two large bot tles she was pronounced cured by the doctor and has been In good health ever since. The doctor came to see her every day and examined her every second day until he pronounced her kidneys in perfect condition. Now then the doctor was under the Impression that I was giving my girl his medicino, hut as his medicine had failed to do a bit of good, and desiring not to offend him, I did not tell him I was giving her Swamp-Root and ho did not know the difference. I did not use one drop of his medicine after I started my girl on Swamp-Root, and have always felt that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root saved my girl's life, for which I am grateful. 1 cannot pralBe it too highly.

WOMAN WOULD NOT GIVE UP Though Sick and Suffering; At Last Found Help in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta ble Compound. Richmond, Pa. - " When I started taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I was in a dreadfully rundown state of health, had Internal trou bles, and was so ex tremely nervous and prostrated that If I had given in to my feelings I would have been In bed. As it was I had hardly strength at, times to be on my feet and what I did do was by a great effort I could not sleep at night and of course felt very bad in the morning, and had a steady headache. "After taking the second bottle 1 no ticed that the headache was not so bad, I rested better, and my nerves were stronger. I continued its use until it made a new woman of me, and now I can hardly realize that I am able to do so much as I do. Whenever I know any woman In need of a good medicine I highly praise Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound." Mrs. Frank Clark, 8146 N. Tulip St, Richmond, Pa. Women Have Been Telling Women for forty years how Lydia 8.

General Carrama Is sues Defiant Demand Washington, D. C General Venus tiano Carranza, as first chief of the constitutionalist army, notified the world Tuesday that all communications to his government from outside sources must pass through him. Carranza's decree reached Washing ton through Rafael Zubaran Capmany, his minister of the interior, who tele graphed it to Elisea Arredondo, Car ranz'as local representative. The or der apparently will make it impossible for diplomatic representatives of for eign governments to deal with the Carranza government except by going to Vera Cruz, which they been unwil ling to do lest such action be construed as formal recognition. Already most of the diplomats'at Mexico City have asked their govern ments for permission to leave when the situation becomes intolerable, and some of them have been advised to use their own discretion. The order may also affect the activ ity of American consular representa tives, who heretofore have dealt with the lie facto government, whatever it happened to be. Accused Aide of Mc- Namara Bros. Found New York Matthew A. Schmidt, 34 years old, was arrested here Mon day as a fugitive from justice on an indictment found in Los Angeles in October, 1912, charging him with hav ing been implicated in dynamiting the Los Angeles Times building. The arrest was made on Upper Broadway, where detectives had traced him after a search of four years. Detective William J. Burns, who accompanied the officer making the arrest, said the indictment charged that Schmidt was one of the two men who went with J. B. McNamara to the works of the Giant Powder company in California and purchased J 1000 pounds of dynamite. Schmidt was held in Magistrate's court, on short affidavit, with bail un til February 24 to await extradition. When arranged before Magistrate McQuade the prisoner said he was a mechanic, 34 years old, but refused to answer the other customary questions. After the arraignment, however, the magistrate said the man had confessed to him in his chambers that he was Matthew A. Schmidt, as alleged in the Los Angeles indictment. Britain to Divert Food. London The foreign office an nounced definitely that if the cargo of the American steamship Wilhelmina should be diverted for the relief of the distressed in Belgium, the decision to send her cargo to a British prize court would be reconsidered. Otherwise her cargo must be submitted to the de cision of the court. The Wilhemina, which sailed from New York with a cargo of food prod ucts for Germany, is at present at Fal mouth. A. G. Hays, an attorney rep resentirtg.the Green company, the con signors of the cargo of the Wilhel mina, called at the American embassy, and went to Falmouth later. He said he had not yet received his instructions concerning the case, but in the mean time was endeavoring to learn all he could about the Btatus of the vessel and her cargo. Lob Angeles Children Thrifty. Los Angeles A canvas of the banks here showB that 40,000 children under sixteen years of age have almost $1, 000,000 in savings deposits, an average of $25 each. One bank has 16,000 de positors between the ages of two and fourteen years. The largest account is that of a twelve-year old boy who has $1,672. He began seven years ago with 60 cents A leading financier de clared on this showing that Los An geles children are the thriftiest in the world, which he ascribes largely to business instruction in the schools. Fist Flies for Lincoln. Portland, Or. To defend the mem ory of Abraham Lincoln, Corporal M. J. Parcels, of Vancouver Barracks, pulled an I. W. W. from his soapbox, pommeled him severely and knocked down several sympathizers who started a near-riot. The speaker is said to have made remarks derogatory to the martyred President. The soldier, who sustained several bruises and cuts, was treated at' the police hospital and re leased with congratulations. Two members of the crowd were arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct. Tiniest Exhibit Arrive. San Francisco The smallest and most valuable exhibit at the Panama- Pacific International Exposition will be the fraction of a grain of mesothe rium, a derivative of radium, valued at nearly $300,000 which will be placed in the German section of the Palace of Liberal Arts. The exhibit is now on its way from Hamburg in a lead box, carried by a personal represent ative of the discoverer, D. Hugo Lieber. British Strike Averted. London The threatened strike of several thousand railroad men through out Great Britain, demanding an in crease of wages, seems to have been averted. Announcement was made following a conference between rail road managers and representatives of the union that an agreement had been reached, the terms of which will be announced later. Eight Slain in Panama Fight. Panama A fight between soldiers and native policemen here resulted, according to -first reports of the con flict n the deaths of five policemen and three soldiers and the wounding of many of the combatants. A carnival was in progress and many of the sol diers were on leave to attend the festivity. Catching Up With China. Gradually, very gradually, civlllza. lion 1b catching up with the Chinese. The University of California has es tablished a new profession that of keeping people well. Those who adopt this calling will go Into the world and earn fat fees by not letting folk fall 111. Sickness will mean starvation to the practitioners; a healthy populace will make them rich. In China the doctors have never looked to the sick for business. Only while their patients were well could the physicians charge for services rendered. When a patron fell ill the doctor's income shrunk; when recov ered the convalescent resumed feeing his medical adviser. It is a good scheme, evidently, or we of the wiser world would not have taken up with It after having so many thousands of years to Investigate Its workings. In time perhaps all the wisdom of the Celestials will become ours by adoption. St. Joseph Gazette. The Love of Hazard.
