The government and the Irish peace delegates have thus far been unable to reach any agreement regarding the continued observance of the truce be tween the Irish republican army and the crown forces, the United News is informed, and until this question is settled no attempt to get down to the main issues in the Irish problem will be made.

Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success.

Ihr. Kilmer’s Swamp Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large. However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingham ton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper. Advertisement.
