If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Bast
Have you ever stopped to reason
why it la that so many products that
ora extensively advertised, all at once
drop out of sight and are soon lorgol
ten? The reason Is plain the article
did not fulfill the promises of the
manufacturer. This applies more par
ticularly to a medicine. A medicinal
preparation that has real curative
value almost sells llself, as like an end
less chain system the remedy is recom
mended by those who have been bene
fited. to tImee who are in need of It.
A prominent druggist says "Take
for example l)r. Kilmer's Swamp-Hoot,
a preparation I have sold for many
years and never hesitate to recom
mend, for In almost every case it
shows excellent results, as many of
my customers testify. No other kid
ney remedy hae so large a sale.”
According to sworn stalaments and
verified testimony of Ihdusands who
have used the preparation, the suc
cess of Dr. Kilmers Hwamp-Root Is
due to the fact, so many people Halm,
that It fulfills almost every wish In
overcoming kidney, liver nnd bladder

his statement at the fourth section
hearing of the Interstate Commerce
commission at Halt Lake City. In
part he said:
“The western railroads are here
seeking authority from the interstate
commerce commission to reduce their
rates on 41 commodity items from
Chicago and points west to Pacific
coast terminals, without making cor
repsonding or any reduction in the
rates on the same commodities to des
tinations in infermountain territory.
“The result, if the application is
granted, will be that on these commo
dities a higher charge will be collect
ed on shipments destined to directly
Intermediate points in the Intermoun
tain territory than are collected when
the shipments go beyond the Pacific
coast terminals.
Seek Volume Increase.
“It is my wish to make it very clear
that the desire of the railroads to pub
lish, under the permit sought in this
proceeding, rates to the Pacific coast
terminal cities lower than concurrent
ly maintained to intermediate points,
is for the purpose of increasing the
total volume of their traffic, and
thereby increasing their net revenues,
to the end that their financial situ
ation may l>e improved and thus as
sist in creating a situation which will
permit them, after setting aside a fail
return on ther property, to reduce
rates where relief is most needed.
"I wish to emphasize particularly
the fact that the rates to the Pacific
coast cities proposed in this applica
tion will return to the railroads an
amount substantially In excess of the
"out-of-pocket cost” for transporting
the freight, and greatly in excess of
any net amount they could hope to
earn on such of the business as they
might secure against existing water
competition at the higher rates now
in effect.
"This statement is offered ill an
effort to make it very plain Hint the
yaffle to he transported under the re
duced rates will not create a burden
upon other traffic.
Competition Is Difficulty.
"The difficulty which it Is sought
to correct to the reasonable degree
contemplated hy our application is
purely carrier competition—one of
rates—rafes from points upon or ad
jacent to the Atlantic seaboard via
the Panama canal to I'nited States
Pacific coast points as compared with
tjic rates via the all-rail routes from
Chicago. St. I-ouis. Milwaukee, St.
Paul, Minneapolis. Omaha or Kansas
City, and other interior points to the
same Pacific coast points.
"It is manifest to the traffic officers
of the railroads, who have given much
thought and study to the matter, that
if there is not an adjustment of tlie
freight rates to a basis which will be
comparable to thhse obtainable from
the Atlantic coast, these interior njan
ufacturers, producers and shippers
will be forced gradually to withdraw
from the trade and permit the transfer
of business to Atlantic seaboard cities
from which the movement .will be
largely via the Panama canal, to the
great detriment of the interior cities,
of which Chicago, St. Louis, Milwau
kee, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Omaha and
Kansas City are typical examples,
also of the railroads which serve
them, or they must develop and use
a cheaper transportation route via
gulf ports, and the Panama canal,
which will likewise prove detrimental
to the railroads."

They are results you need and

Film and offense
Film on teeth is unclean. It mars
beauty. At first that film is viscous.
You can feel it now. With ordi
nary brushing, much of it clings
and stays. Soon it discolors and
forms dingy coats.
Film also holds food substance
which ferments and forms acid. It
holds the acid in contact with the
teeth to cause decay. Germs breed
by millions in it They, with tar
tar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea.
Few people escape these film

that film.
Dental science, after long re

ants. One disintegrates the film,

Pepsodent also incorporates

value of certain fruits in the diet.
It multiplies the alkalinity of the

Those are Nature’s agents for com

Pepsodent twice daily gives them

Coolidge Savs
Farm Flight Is
Danger to U. S.
Sees Right Step in Parley of
Crop Growers and Manu
facturers—Red ^ a ru
ing Voiced.
Chicago, Jan. 14.—The conference
of farmers and manufacturers which
opened today received the endorse
ment of President Calvin Coolldge,
who in a letter said that the purpose
of the meeting, "true cooperation,”
was evidence that the right diagnosis
of the situation menacing agricul
ture, and likewise every other ele
ment in the community, had been
found.
Unless means to relieve the farmer
is ascertained, the president said, the
menace to alt elements would con
tinue.
With the purpose of forming a
permanent alliance of farmers and
manufacturers for the mutual bene
fit of both, the conference which is
under the auspices of the Illinois
Manufacturers’ association, opened
with nearly 400 delegates attending
President Coolidge in his letter
said:
"Jt Is perfectly apparent to all of
us that we shall not have real and
permanent prosperity for the whole
country, nor for the greater part of
It, bo long as any large and vital
important section of its productive
Industry is unable to prosper. The
plight of the farmer in recent years
hag been and will continue, until
we find means of relieving agricul
ture, a menace to the prosperity of
every other element in the com
munlty.”
Fred R. Marvin of the New York
Commercial, told the delegates that
there is in this country a large, well
organized. skillfully managed and
sufficiently financed movement that
has for Its purpose the overthrow of
the government and the confiscation
of all private property, “by bloody
revolution should that become neces
sary, in order that there may be
erected on the ruins a purely social
Utlc form of government and a pure
]y communistic form of business
These forms would take from the
individual all hope, aspiration ami
initiative, would abolish home sur
roundings, crush In the human heart
every spark of religious sentiment
and would abandon the family rela
tions."
Recognition of the Russian soviet
government is not sought to relieve
the "Intolerable'’ conditions in Rus
sia, Mr. Marvin said, but to give the
Internationale an opportunity to fill
the embassies and sonsular offices
with trained propagandists who will
give their efforts toward undermln
ing American institutions.
