TWENTY-FIVE YEARS EXPERIENCE WITH KIDNEY REMEDY Between twenty-five and thlrtv vears ftffo I commenced selling Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Knot and during- that time I have never heard a single complaint from my customers; they are more inclined to praise it; and judging from their favorable remarks and the repeated oak I enjoy I am confident that Swamp-Root is u valuable medicine, for the troubles for which it Is Intended.

Nothing unfavorable can honestly be said about It. It does not contain Injurious drug's. It is a root and herb remedy

; founded upon a physician's prescrip-

tlon, anj is manufactured for a specific

! rurpose. That it accomplishes this pur

pose Is proved by thousands and thou sands of convincing- testimonials. Adv . I LJ 1JL, . !

SAD BLOW TO JUSTICE COURTS (Continued from Page One.)

force in serving process, attending trials, etc., more work for the bailiff and far more work for the jidi?e, he being; required to be pn the job practically aU the time for the fiiins or hearing- of rases. The work of keeping the court records will be more than doubled and it may become necessary for the judKe to employ a clerk a portion of the time, as the bailiff, unless relieved of all police duties, will not have time to do the clerical - work. Heretofore the Justice courts have handled afl the smaller civil cases, when not too complicated for the average J. P., but henceforth most of them will go to the city court, if such courts prove capable of handling thm, because of better facilities, better constable service and the increased Juris

diction. However, if these civil matters can

not be satisfactorily disposed of In the city court they will ro up to the higher courts, either direct or on appeal.

Another act of the legislature em

powers city courts to issue warrants to constables as well as police departments, thus Increasing the work of constables and nssocln ting them with

the city as well as the Justice courts. Whether the Jurisdiction of city courts

as to territory is extended beyond the limits of the municipality is not now known, but if it is, the constables will have authority, when armed with a city court warrant, to go out Into the

country and bring offenders, witnesses and civil litignnts into the city court

instead of the Justice courts, which

now have jurisdiction in criminal mat

ters, co-extensive with the county.

Most justice courts have long been

regarded as a disgrace and their acts

a travesty on justice, and a law that

would make It possible to get away from them entirely would be welcom

ed both by the attorneys and litigants.

DIVIDEND DECLARED. At a meeting of the board of directors of the Mid-Continent Consolidated Oil & Utilities Corporation held on March 6. 1917, at Muskogee. Okla.. the regular monthly dividend of 10 cents per share was. declared on all outstanding "A" stock, payable March 31. 1917, to stockholders of record as of March 15. 1917. Dick H. Lane, the president of the company, who is at present touring Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas, inspecting the company's large and widely distributed holdings, announces that the earnings of the company during the last two months have shown a remarkable increase over the 1916 earnings of the properties now owned by the Mid-Continent Corporation. H. C. Blackwell, the consulting engineer of the Mid-Continent Company, who is also engineer for the United Light and Railways Company, a $S0,000, 000. d0 public utilities corporation operating street railways, light and power franchises throughout the middle west, accompanies Mr. Lane on his tour of inspection and announces that the present earnings indicate a net profit on the public utilities largely in excess of the earnings of the same properties during 1915.

A petition that the whole vote be thrown out In the Fifth precinct of Fast Chicago what Is known as the Krupa precinct In the Second ward is In preparation and It Is only a question of a few hours when this petition will be filed In the superior court. The petitioner by his ottorneys, Ottenhelmer Twyman, it Walter O. Harmon, the candidate for treasurer who received only forty votes less for the office than did John Harhno w&kl. The petition will allege that the primary board kept the polls open for an unlowful period after 6 o'clock.

HID STOMACH OF GASES, SOURNESS, AND INDIGESTION

"Pape's Diapepsin" relieves

stomach distress in hve minutes.

Tou don't want a slow remedy when your stomach is bad or an uncertain one or a harmful one your stomach

is too valuable; you mustn't Injure it with drastic drui?s. Tape's Diapepsin is noted for its speed In glvlnsr relief; its harmlessness. Its certain unfailing action in regulatInK sick, eour, grassy stomachs. Its quick relief In indigestion, dyspepsia and gastritis when caused by acidity has made it famous the world over. Keep this wonderful stomach sweetener In your home keep it handy get a large fifty-cent case from any drug store and then if anyone should eat something which doesn't agree with them; if what they eat lays like lead, ferments and sours and forms iras; causes headache, dizziness and nausea; eructations of acid and undigested food remember as soon as Pape's Diapepsin comes in contact with the stomach it helps to neutralize the excessive acidity, then all the stomach distress caused by it disappears. Its promptness, certainty and ease in overcoming such stomach disorders is a revelation to those

who try it. Adv.

half-mil': cinder track at Harrison Park is without question the best in the state when it has been rolled. The tra.k is evervthing hi a track and fl-ld meet. Incidentally HurrUon park offers id-al take-offs and easy landing; for the pole vault and jumps . Gary will be represented in the meet by two teams, Froebel and Emerson, competing individually. AVhiting. Lowell. Crown Point, Ea.t Chicago and Hammond are the other contestants. It promises to be the closest meet in years for Lowell has two veteran long dis

tance runners who counted '.n the finish last year and have been training every since. These two farm boys will take the distance runs, it is predicted, while the giants on the Crown Point squad are expected to win In the weights. Owing to the fact that a boy was killed in Indiana recently by a discus throw which went wild, that event has been eliminated. With lowell taking the distance Gary has lost pome of her strongest distance runners and Crown Point winning the weights, Hammond expects to win its share of the sprints and to take the broad jump outright. Kast Chicago and Whiting will score in other events and it appears the Gary schools will find it difficult to win the meet although they have two of the seven teams. On paper the seventeenth track and field meet loks to be the best in years. No school will walk away with it and the attendance should be record-breaking. Hammond is accessible from all parts of the county and the Junior Chamber of Commerce will put the affair on in style. Having a hundred and fifty dollars in the venture the Juniors will see it through to the limit. The contract for the track and field meet has been signed with the Lake County High School Association .

Mayor R. O. Johnson and Dr. F. W. Smith, defeated in last Tuesday's primaries for the Republican nomination for mayor today, were to file with other candidates in circuit court at Crown Point a plea for a recount. In the plea no frauds are alleged", in accordance with law, but specifications of ballot manipulation are. asserted. If evidence Is brought out In the recount Dr. Smith at least plans to cause the arrest of those believed to be guilty of wrong doing. Faprs Balky. Attorneys P.alph Ross and Roy Ressler of Harris and Rossler this m.on com

pleted the voluminous petition asking

for a recount, it is expected Judge McMahon will at once act on the petition. "In precinct S3 the inspector got 45 Republican ballots and reported '10," said Mr .Ross. "In another precinct the inspector received 249 Republican ballots. There were 269 Republican ballots reported and 2T0 Republican ballots counted." said Mr. Ressler. They also contend many v iters who placed the "X" before the mayor's name did not have their votes counted. Hesides Pmith and Johnson. Joseph Zaramski and Irvin Edwards are in on the petition.
