RECOns THIS
KIDNEV MEDICINE
1 believe and know that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root is a good medicine. Sev
enteen years ago I introduced it In
this section and to ray knowledge it
has not failed to prove valuable in a
single case. Many reports have come
to me from people who claimed that
Swamp-Root had cured them, and per
sonally 1 am convinced that tliero is
not a better kidney prepaartion on the
market and 1 can recommend It con
scientiously.
Very truly yours,

Send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,

An Early Spring
will help the coal situation
materially and will prevent
any real suffering from the
fyel famine.
' „ The yards have less coal at
this ttvoe of the year than in
any pat season, and there is
barely enough for immediate
needs.
We urge all our customers
who need coal to order it at
once and we will do our
utmost to promptly fill all
orders.
If war comes the railroads
will be tied up with other
transportation problems and
no coal will be hauled from
the mines. There is reason
to act promptly.

LEWISTOWN IDEAL
CONFERENCE TOWN
Methodists Finding it Delight
ful; Undergraduates
Examined
Lewistown. March 21.
Lewistown is an ideal place for a
Methodist Conference. The denomina
tion has a church membership of
fourteen hundred and a Sunday school
enrollment of eighteeu hundred In this
little city of 10,000 population.
The town is not afflicted with the
saloon business, having been made dry
by the ruling of Judge Woods several
years ago. The prosperity and good
order of the people are evident on
every side. A well-known citizen,
wishing to direct his conference gucot
as to the shortest cut from his home
to the church said: "This narrow buck
street will bring you out close to the
church." Every one, even women,
have no fears of traveling these nar- j
row streets at night though they atc|
mst very well lighted. You are safe,
in Lewistown anywhere at any time.!
We have no lawless saloon element to |
terrify or harm anyone. They say the j
best people of the city are iu politics, j
and it is very generallyydmitted thali
no man can be electA to any ottlce |
In the county who by the
church federation.
The church building In which the
conference is held is among the nlost
beautiful temples of worship in the
conference. It is largely a monument
to the skillful management and splen
did work of the Rev. George W.
Stevens, under whose pastorate it \VTTB
erected. Many Harrisburg people re
member the Rev. Mr. Stevens as the
successful district superintendent some
years ago. The church contains a
beautiful Tiffany window, a SO,OOO
memorial gift which very greatly ad
mired. The church In addition to hav
ing been beautitied by artistic frescoe
work recently has every convenience
for the visitors.
Splendidly Equipped
Telephone, post office, book tables,
with latest publications of devotional
character, and a large social hall
where preachers and laymen meet and
exchange experiences of a year and
where appointments are made and un
made as often as rumors concerning
appointments are put Into circulation.
These lobby appointments, like the
prophecies of the weatherman some
times come true.
The Board of Examiners, whose
work began Monday night and ended
Tuesday night, is composed of the fol
lowing ministers: J. E. Bell, J. E. A. j
Bucke. B. C. Conner. C. T. Dunning.
G. M. Glenn, J. W. Glover. B. H. Ilart,

All Passed Belief
The results of the examinations have
not been announced, but the under
graduates wear a satisfied expression
and it is presumed they have all pass
ed with the required grade.
The Tuesday [evening meeting open
ed with a larg* congregation present
for the anniversary of the Conference
Home Missionary Society which plans
to give to every pastor in the confer
ence a comfortable support by supple
menting from the general fund the
amount the local church.pays, if that
sum is below eight hunared dollars.
The first speaker, S. W. Dickson, of
Berwick, compared the wage of the
average mechanic in these days and
that of the average country pastor. He
pleaded that the church at once give
itself to another work, also that of es
tablishing a home for the orphan chil
dren and another home to take care
of the aged who are m need of such a
sheltering place in their old age.
The Rev. A. S. Williams, corres
ponding secretary of the society plead
ed for more attention being given in
the annual sessions to the discussion
of our real problems here at home.
The thought being made clear that
"We can best serve the general Inter
ests by taking good care of the press
ing problems of conversation within
the boundaries of our own confer
ence."
Each charge has been asked to con
tribute this year a sum for conference
work which will be at least one-third
of the amount given to the general
Home Mission Board. He exhorted
his hearers to apply the principles of
the Gospel to the solution of the rural,
city, Industrial and social problems of
our own great State.
Constructive Revolution
The closing address was made by
Fred B. Fisher, of New York City, who
took as his keynote the statement that
the world is in a spirit of constructive
revolution. In his own forceful way
he discussed the world conditions,
showing that democracy and liberty
are everywhere coming to the fore
front.
The Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Willis Gra
ham, who are always in much favor as
musicians at conference gatherings,
sang, the session closing by the sing
ing of America by the great congrega
tion.
The Thursday program includes,
morning business-session, afternoon,
institute hour the Rev. Dr.
George Edward Reedj, -of Harrisburg,
will deliver an address on "The
Preacher's Preparation For His Pulpit
Work."
The evening meeting will he the an
