A REAL GOOD
KIDNEY MEDICINE
I have sufficient faith in the cura
tive value of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Hoot to recommend its use above all
other kidney, liver and bladder rem
edies. I have used a couple of bottles
at different times and believe it to be
n A No. 1 medicine, and one that will
do all that is claimed for it. My cus- I
tomers are very grateful for the ben- I
efits derived after using Swamp-Root, I
and I must say that the ten years i
that I sold Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root \
ss a clerk and three years as a pro- I
prictor proved to me that Swamp- I
Hoot has no equal in the drug trade in j
the conditions for which it is intended. !
Very truly yours.

Huntingdon County
Kept Dry by Court
For Fourth Year
Huntingdon, Pa., March 7. —Presi-
dent Judge Bailey and Associate
Judges McCarthy and Beers, constitu
ting the license c ourt of Huntingdon
county, yestcrduy refused tho only ap
plication mado this year, thut of lxiuls
R. Leister, proprietor of the Leister
House, Huntingdon, the largest hotel
in Huntingdon county.
The decision was virtually a fore
gone conclusion as the applicant of
fered no reuson why his hotel should
have a license. Huntingdon county
will therefore be dry for the fourth
consecutive year.
It is not denied that there is Illegal
selling in some parts of the county,
especially whpre many foreigners are
working in cbal mines, in the Broad
Top region and among the large float
ing classes which are working at the
big brick manufactories at Mt. Union
and tho big powder plant of the Aetna
Explosive Company. But unprejudiced
citizens are unanimous in the opinion
that social conditions in the county
are much Improved since the county
has dry.
Of course some still get their booze
either from venturesome bootleggers
or by "chipping" in and sending to
Cumberland, Tyrone or other wet
towns. But the antilicense people point
to the fact that many farmers and
farmers' sons who frequently come to
town and went home to their families
drunk, now go home sober, because
they are not interested enough to
search for a speakeasy or send out of
the county for booze.
Crime is greatlyreduced as is shown
by the fact that at the last term of
quarter sessions court there were bo
few cases for District Attorney Fetter
j holt that the court discharged the
i grand jury on the first day of the
term, something unheard of in the
memory of the oldest lawyers. It
would require a complete revolution
of public sentiment in Huntingdon
county to put it back in the wet col
umn.
