The reason ii plain the article did not fulfill the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited to those who are in need of it. A prominent druggist says, "lake 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 as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has so large a wle." According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousand who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Roo- t is due to the fact, o many people claim, that it fulfills al-most every wish in overcominij kidney, liver and bladder ailments, corrects y troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.

A copy of the only personal message ever prepared by former President Theodore Roosevelt for American sol-flie-in P'rance, written on the day he was apprised of the death of his son, Quentln, has been sent to every post of the American Legion, In the form of a specially prepared facsimile ef the original message. This letter was pre-pared for the soldiers of America and was to be conveyed to them by Cass Connaway of Buffalo, N. Y., who was unable to deliver the words of Roose-velt because of war duties. Through the 11,000 posts of the American Legion Mr. Oonnaway has been able to complete distribution of the message, and It will be framed in Legion homes, presented to libraries and museums, that all Americans may read of the feelings of a fighter to the fighting men of America. Connaway was an attorney in Indian-apolis before the war. His two sons enlisted, and his wife took up Red Cross work. When he found he was the only one of the family not In serv-ice he closed his office and volunteered as a "T" hut secretary, unable to enter the army on account of his age. Before he was ordered to France, Oonnaway conceived the idea of carry-ing a message to the Iloosler boys at the front, telling them of now they would be welcomed on their return to the United States. Gov. James P. Goodrich of Indiana prepared a splen-did message, as did Booth Tarkington, Meredith Nicholson, George Ade and other well-know- n Indlanans. Then Oonnaway enlarged on his original Idea and wrote to the governors of every state for similar words to the men of their commonwealths in the trenches of France. AU responded, and to these were added a tribute, penned In long-hand, by Cardinal Gibbons. On July 18, 1818, Mr. Oonnaway sub-mitted his plan to former President Roosevelt The day following, Quentln, CONNAWAY bis son, was killed as he flew over the German lines, word being received In America July 17 of the death of the young aviator. Connaway sailed for Frauce and shortly after landing was assigned to duties with the legal division of the Y. M. C. A. He wus unable to send the message direct to the men at the front, but succeeded In having It printed In the Paris edition of the London Dully Times, though few of the fighters were privileged to see It. Continued duties with the "Y" as chief of the claims di-vision, Judge advocate and chief of the legal division held up delivery of the message. Connaway then returned to the United States and was separated from the service to become managing director of the Buffulo real estute board. Still feeling his obligation for deliv-ery of the words from Mr. Roosevelt, Connaway sought permission from Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., now assistant secretary of the navy, for authority to Issue the letter. Further permission wns obtained from the Roosevelt Me-morial association, which Is gathering mementoes for presentation at Roose-velt house In New York city, the birth-place of the president, and where the erlglnnl of the message will be placed Identical copies of the statement to the troops were prepared. Then the American Legion was appealed to as being the best means for distribution of the message and It went forward through the various posts of the or-ganization. The message follows : "To the Soldiers of the American Expeditionary Forces Overseas: "I send my heartfelt greetings to you men at the front. You have made all of us who stay behind lift our heads high with pride by what you are doing. It Is you men, and only you nin, who are d.'.ng one vital work for the American people today. All good Americans at this time owe homage to the fighting men at the fighting front. What you are doing Is vital for the honor and the Interest, for the fu-ture welfare, and for the very ex-istence, of our republic; nnd you are also buttling for the liberty of every civilized na-- ! tlon, big or little, "I congratulate you ri. the great good fortune that Is s In that ,vn in iv have the chance to en-- j dure hardship and peril for n gre.it Ideal and to render to oi:r ?itintry the greatest of all service. 1 would give anjthlng to be over with you.

Iowa's veterans who received the state bonus are, contrary to expecta-tion of some persons, placing the money In savings accounts, using it tot the payment of debts and for the extension of business. It had been free-ly predicted by a certain element un-favorable to payment of such compen-sation that the money would be squan-dered In reckless fashion. Newspaper reports from all sections of the state tell of the receipt of the warrants by the former soldiers, and what they expected to do with the money. Iowa business houses have conduct-ed wide advertising campaigns, sug-gesting to the former soldiers uses that might be made of the compensation money. According to word from vari-ous parts of the state, the savings banks profited most from thla cam-paign. Earl Brownlle, an American Legion member of Davenport, la., who received the first warrant put it in a savings bank to draw Interest Harlem Wyatt of Des Moines, first to receive a check In that city, told reporters that his check was going to make the last pay-ment on a little home. Another vet- - eran said that his plumber was wait-ing In his business place for the check when it came by post Still another "vet" appreciative of how he obtained the money, said to reporters : "Five dol-lars of my check goes to join the American Legion end the rest to the bank." Interesting facts In regard to the payment of compensation in the state were developed. More than 150 appli-cations in the state were not signed by the soldiers because they were unable to write. Instead, the finger-prin- t method was used. When the warrants were cashed the finger-print- s were on the backs of the checks. Two hundred and fifty nurses will receive checks for service In the World war. A tendency on the part of Iowa vet-erans to take advantage of the Insur-ance offered by the government Is noted by American Legion officials. A survey of records of one post showed about 50 per cent of the men receiving compensation reinstated their govern-ment Insurance. Nearly $150,000 In policies was reinstated In one day, ac-cording to officials of this post. The Iowa law allows 50 cents per day, with a maximum of $350. All claims of conscientious objectors have been set aside until after ull other men have received their pay, when their claims will he considered. PAPYRUS BOOKS WERE ROLLS Modern Term "Volume" Hat Been Found to Have Had Its Origin In These Cylindrical Works. In forming papyrus into books it was customary among the indents to use a long sheet or web of It and roll it upon a stick, as is the custom In re-spect to maps at the present day, says the Detroit News. The writing was in columns, each of wlhctt formed a sort of page, the render holding the ends of the roll in his two hands and reading at the part which was open between them. As he advanced he contlnuully unrolled on one side and rolled up on the other. The term "volume," used in respect to modern books, had Its origin In this ancient practice of writing upon long rolls. The long sheet was rolled upon a wooden billet which gave the volume a certain firmness and solfdlty, and af-forded it greut protection. The ends of the roller projected be-yond the edges of the sheet and were terminated In knobs or bosses, which guarded In some measure the edges of the papyrus or rolls of parchment which were often made In the same manner. The whole volume was also Inclosed In a parchment case, on the outside of which the title of the work was conspicuously recorded. New Chemical Element. Two Danish scientists, Dr. G. llevesy and Dr. D. Coster, working at the city of Copenhagen, have announced the discovery of a new chemical element which they call "hafnium." Hafnium was discovered by means of Its X-ra- y spectrum. It oceupies, the Danish scientists believe, one of the six vacant places long known to exist In the list of the chemical elements. Strange to say, this latest recruit among the chemical elements seems to be quite common In the world. Doc-tors llevesy and Coster think there Is more of it in the earth's crust than there Is of gold Popular Science Monthly. Difficult to Comprehend.

Our new fcuby's a twelve-pounder- . mer soldiers of the United States Is deepened, rather than diminished by time, according to evidences of friend-ly aid and help for veterans temporar-ily In need. This Is particularly true among organizations composed of World war fighters, such as the Ameri-can Legion. Many striking examples of this com-radeship come to the attention of na-tional officers of the organization. A splendid example was noted In a recent letter to Legion officials concerning friendly acts of an Indiana post toward a sick comrade. Written by II. L. Rogers, a vrteran of Battery K, Fifth field artillery, the letter tells how he was taken sick as he passed through Lebanon, Ind., with his wife. After reaching a hotel there Rogers was told that he was threat ened with pneumonia, and his limited resources were a source of worry. "That afternoon," Rogers' letter says, "the adjutant of the local post or the American Legion came to the hotel and made me feel I wus among friends, promising that my comfort would be looked out for. The next morning I awoke to see a bouquet of carnations In my room. In the afternoon the post commander came to see me, and In him 1 met another fine fellow. "1 was skk for a week.
