The reason Is plain— the article did not fulfill the promises o. the manufacturer. This uppliesj more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real j curative value almost sells itself, as; like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefitted, to those I who are in need of it. A prominent druggist says. -Take, j for example. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- Root, a preparation I have .sold for; many years and never hesitate to! recommend, for in almost every case | it shows excellent results, as many of my customers testify. Xo other i kidney remedy has so large a sale." According to sworn statements j and verified testimony of thousands J who have used th® preparation, the I success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root' is due to the fact, so many people ] claim, that it fulfills almost every j wish in overcoming kidney, liver I and bladder ailments, corrects uri-' nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism, j You may receive a sample bottle! of Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. !

SMITH BILL IS ON CALENDAR Joint City-County Building Measure Reported Favor ably to the. Senate At a session of the Senate late yesterday afternoon, the Judiciary General committee reported out the i Harrisburg bill, sponsored by Sena tor Smith which will permit' the county and city to erect a joint of fice building. The bill will come up for first reading next Mojiday even ing, and Senator Smith said yes | terday evening, that he has been j assured of its speedy passage. | The passage of this measure will j Vie the first step toward the realiza tion of the long-desired new county- I municipal building without which, Harrisburg has been handicapped for years. The proposed new struc ture will replace the present un | sijAtly police headquarters in the j Board of Trade Building, and the ; antiquated Court House, and cpn ; centrate city departments which are ! now located in office buildings. It I had its revival in the speech of Governor Sproul at the Chamber of Commerce reception.

This mild and snowless winter, which is likely to be followed by an early spring, lias been very fa vorable for the musca domcstica, and many of the breed have hibernated wifh comfort in houses, barns and garages. They are already coming forth to re new their unceasing efforts fit world domination. Stray individuals are humming Impudently about living I rooms, and they begin to assert in some j restaurants their claim to the first sup. j While other Insect enemies of man kind usually afford some respite, com-1 ing in hordes that are not equally nu merous and malignant every year, there is no such relaxation In the activity of flies. They never intermit their efforts, and if they are more abundant some years than others, the difference is not due to any natural periodicity like that affecting locust swarms, but simply to accidental or temporary circumstances, of which the varying intensity of the i ' human war of defence waged against i them is one of the most important, j One of the greatest mistakes to make ! about flies is that of treating them as ! practically harmless until they appear iin swarms. A single fly in the house, in the spring time, a fly that has come out of its hiding place ravenous for the foul nourriture that its race prefers, but also eager to get its unclean feet on every fresh-cut loaf or slice of bread, and into every sugar bowl and dish of meat, is potentially capable of starting a death-march in that house. This winter we have had one of the severest epidemics of grip and pneu monia ever recorded. Such diseases may leave their effluvia in a closed house in spite of efforts at purification, and the saprogenic fly will find the contagion in its hiding-places, drag it forth, and reawaken Its virulence by spreading it again through the human system. Kill the first fly you see! Run it down and annihilate it at any cost 1 From a single batch of its eggs 120 other little winged demons may be fully developed within from eight to ten days. If only half of those 120 are females in another fortnight they may have pro duced a multiplied host of 7,200. And the next generation, less than two weeks later may be buzzing about your ears, | and befouling and poisoning your food, to the number of 432,000! All that from one original dissembler, whom you al i lowed to go undisturbed because she re- I minded you of spring, and you would j not be unhospitable to a creature who, | though uninvited, had passed the wln ; ter beneath your roof. The descendents of only 100 such originals might, in a month or six weeks, number 43,200,- 000! Of course, the figures just given are probably excessive (although that is I not so certain for every fly lays several batches of eggs each averaging 120 in dividuals), and the "infant mortality" among flies may be great enough to keep down the number to be multiplied at each generation considerably lower than the estimate, but, however re duced, the figures are sure to remain startingly large. It should also be said that the great majority of flies which appear in the spring are not the progeny of the! adults which have had the luck to find safe refuge in warm houses, but they come from eggs or pupae deposited in refuse heaps the preceding fall, where' , they lie protected from the frost. AI winter as warm as this niust favorable to a successful wintering of the eggs j ! although in ordinary circumstances, no] aoubt, long-enduring snow may serve as j a blanket against the cold. But this ! time the temperature has been so uni formly high that the snow blanket ; could hardly have been missed. Suppose that the season should open two or three weeks earlier than It ordi narily does; then the flies, whether those hibernating In buildings or those I left undeveloped in the breeding places would have the advantage of at least two successive generations to start with added to the dozen or more generations uhich measure the ordinary period of annual fly domination. This means that I taking the figures we have arrived at j above, the ultimate number of descend ants of each Individual mother fly that started her string of generations with ' 7 ? Warmth ° f sprlnß be <,.00 times greater than it would have been in an ordinary season. So. whether or not we have hot weather ear " than usual this year, the flies will Juu hate the advantage which the extra ordinary winter has afforded them. The only thing, apparently, which could de prive them of that would be a very cold late spring, and one would rather fight flies than face that! Some people undertake the defence of flies on the ground that they are useful scavengers. The answer to that is That it is easier, cheaper and less-dangerous to get rid of the offensive things which flies devour than to leave the cleaning up to be done by a host of disease breeders, which carry about deadly germs and distribute them broadcast like an old-fashioned dust-raising broom. THINKS ENGINEERS WON WORLD WAR Woman Y. M. N C. A. Worker Has High Praise For Americans New York, March 19.—"We think that our engineers really won the war," said Miss Mildred McCluney, of St. Louis, at Y. M. C. A. head quarters on her return from Europe, "and although we had many oppor tunities to accept other assignments Nve stuck to them until their work was completed, the only women among the 1,000 men who were there when we arrived, and tho 1,- 500 negroes who came later and were btlleted some distance away with their own Y. M. C. A. hut and secretary. "In our camp we served profes sional baseball players, prize fight ers. cooks, actors, a lion tamer, sev eral college men, a bank president, numerous moonshiners, railroad en gineers and firemen, a bartender, a soda water clerk and a gambler, all for the time being engaged in the same occupation of razing a forest scientifically. Y. M. C. A. speakers and entertainers who came along the front said that our boys were the hardest working outfit they had sefn. NYc are proud that we had an opportunity to help these men who were giving the best they had for their country without any hope of glory or a share in the spectacular." She and Edith Souther spent near ly a year as Y. M. C. A. workers in France. After they had finished their work at Eclaron the women decided to go to Metz, which is a French zone where no Americans are allowed ex cept about 250 military police, some engineers and ambulance corps men, not more than 400 in all. Miss Souther wont in on a truck at night and Miss McCluney went by troop train from Toul, the only woman on board. It took her ten hours to make a trip that in peace times required about two hours. • Once in Metz the "Y" women ob tained passes to stay. After the boys had tasted some of their dough nuts and the fried eggs for which they had paid $2 a dozen, they could have had a pass to stay for life. Their best customer was a huge "M. P." who had six eggs for lunch eon and whose appetite was unsatis fied after he had eaten eight more at dinner and would have kept right on if the cooks had not informed him that they really must save some of their stock for other trade. Both women were emphatic in their opinion that a highly organ ized campaign of propaganda is be ing directed against the American troops in Germany. There is noth ing insidious about it, they insisted, its foundation being the free distri bution of comforts which were de nied to tho men under war condi tions. From their observations In Lorraine and from stories brought to them by Americans who had been across the Rhine, these Y. M. C. A. workers are convinced that many of the doughboys are being influenced by the methods of the people whom they helped to defeat. COUGHif mi COUGKERif!

GETTING READY TO MOVE DIRT Conference Held in Regard to the State Highway System Final announcement of the State's highjvay policy came a step nearer last night when Governor Sproul, Highway Commissioner Sadler and Chief Engineer Uhler discussed the problems with Chairman Eyre and Williams, of the legislative road committees. Mr. Sadler said to del egations that primary road routes would not be changed and that where it was not practicable to start work surveys would be made, while tho legislators let it be known that no new road routes would be tacked on the State system. Maximum pro visions agreed upon for trucks, which is one of the vital points in the arrangement of highway con struction, will be embodied in the Motor Federation bill, making tho weight 26,000 pounds, ninety inches in width and length 2 8 feet. This is a change from what was discussed last week when it looked like 28,- 000 pounds and 26 feet "This department is not promis ing what it can not do and wo are going to do everything that we say we will do," was the announcement made to a delegation from Wilkins burg which was made up of Senator NY. Crawford Murdoch, Superintend ent Samuel Hamilton, of Allegheny schools: Joseph T. Miller, represent ing various Allegheny boroughs; A. NY. Duft and Engineer Charles Sperl ling. They asked that construction ■be started soon as there is much i<Ue labor in Allegheny county, suggest ing a modification of grade on tho NYilliam Penn highway and con struction west of New Alexandria. The Commissioner said that the con struction could not be undertaken, but that surveys would be made. The delegation pointed out that the construction would divert much traf fic from the congested Lincoln High way and cause rearrangement of Wilkinsburg streets. The Commissioner assured Jeffer son County Commissioners in a let ter that the county could count on State aid and urged an early start on road construction. The county has a credit of $22,151.09 with $45,537 coming. "Pick the roads of real local interest," said he. Dar lington borough people sent assur ance of support for the State road plan. The policy in regard to boroughs was laid down in discussing im- ft Make Your Own if Comparisons 1 This week —this one wrt'le in the year—we are relieved of the necessity of ttlvTi|r yoa in mere words the superior quality of Reos. || The show is oil —at the Garden you can see on the same floor, and || compare for yourself, all makes of automobiles.

This committee asked for improvements on route No. 4 be tween Plymouth and Kdwardsvillo and extending through Larksville and was told that the way to get it started was l'or the borough to match the State outlay. The Larks ville and Nanticoke peoplo were both told that all sewers and pipes must be laid before the State does any work. James T. Brennan; so licitor: Edward Lawler, burgess; Representative Richard Powell and Councilman John Butler and Ed ward Cumerford represented Larks ville while Representative Thomas J.
