THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY
TROUBLE AND NEVER
SUSPECT IT
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.
Judging' from reports from drug
gists who are constantly in direct
touch with the public, there is one
preparation that has been very suc
cessful in overcoming these condi
tions. The mild and healing influ
ence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
s»on realized. It stands the highest
for its remarkable record of suc
cess.
An examining physician for one
of the prominent Life Insurance
<>«aipani<#s, in an interview of the
subject, made the astonishing state
ment that one reason why so many
applicants for insurance are reject
ed is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people,
and the large majority of those
whose applications are declined do
not even suspect that Ohey have the
disease. Dr. Kilmer's Swarrip-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 . end-ten cents
to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N.
Y., for a sample bottle. When writ
ing be sure and mention The At

Rupture Kills
7,000 Annually
Seven thousand persons each year are laid
• way—the burial certificate being marked
* •■Rupture." Why? Because the unfortunate
ones bad neglected themselves or had been
merely taking care of the sign (swelling) of
the affliction and paying no attention to
the cause. What are you* doing? Are you
neglecting yourself by wearing a truss, ap
pliance, or whatever name you choose to call
it? At best, the truss is only a makeshift,
a false prop against a collapsing wall —and
cannot be expected to act as more than a
mere mechanical support. The binding pres
sure retards blood circulation, thus robbing
the weakened muscles of that which they
need most—nourishment.
But science-has found away, and every
truss sufferer in the land is invited to make
a FREE test right in the privacy of their
own home. The PLAPAO method is un
questionably the most scientific, logical and
successful self-treatment for rupture the
world has ever known.
The PLAPAO Pad, when adhering closely
to the body, cannot possibly slip or shift
out of plaqy. therefore cannot chafe or
pinch. Soft as velvet—easy to apply—inex

whilst you sleep. No straps, buckles or

FIVE ME HELD IS
MEM PLOT OS
LOWERCAUFORNA
EL PASO, April 8. —Five■ persons
were under arrest today and the
federal grand jury had evidence
which might lead to other arrests
in connection with what federal of
ficials said was one of the most
pretentious Mexican revolutionary
plots pver conceived on the border.
But for the arrest by military
forces in the Big Bend district of
a boy and girl carrying messages
to Francisco Villa, officers admit
the plan for the seizure of lower
California and simultaneous cam
paigns against Sonora, Sinaloa and
Chihuahua might have developed
into serious proportions.
The messages, carried by Andros
R. .Villegas and Concepcion Perez,
the'latter said to be a niece of Villa,
furnished information which led to
the arrest at Los Angeles of Colonel
Pamberto Chavez, of Villa’s army,
on a charge of attempting to smug
gle arms into Mexico, and at Mexi
cali the arrest of A. Borboa and his
aide on a similar barge.
Chavez is sr’d to be a colonel in
Villa's army, and Borboa had in his
possession a proclamation naming
himself governor of lower Califor
nia and naming his aide as chief of
the army, i
According to details of the alleged
plot, the revolutionists were to cross
into lower California from the Unit
ed States, seize arms and ammuni
tion, of which there is a big sup
ply, and conduct simultaneous cam
paigns against Sonora and Sinaloa
while Villa launched a vigorous
campign in Chihuahua to divert fed
eral troops from the other two com
monwealths.
When the movement was to com
mence was not announced and details
of the plot are being kept secret
pending further investigation by
federal authorities of alleged viola
tion of American neutrality.

As I am today, aged 81 years
I ASK those of you who have children in the house to fill
out the coupon below and let me send you a free trial
bottle of my well-known laxative, Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
Pepsin. The offer is open to everyone but I especially urge
young mothers, and particularly those who have not the

Syrup Pepsin for your child’s sake.
I have been a practising phy

my 82nd year) and I know the
doubts and fears that
the young mother’s mind "when
the baby cries or the children
will not laugh and play.
I know from my 45 years ex

nine times out of ten it is nothing
more than constipation. Give a
teaspoonful of Syrup Pepsin and
the child will have a restful night,
will eliminate the troublesome
matter in the morning, and be
bright and cheerful again.
Try Syrup Pepsin when the
child is restless, bilious, fever
ish and without appetite. Give
it at the first sign of a cold or
frequent sneezing—it may ward
off influenza, the grippe and
more serious troubles. Always

Sixth Congressional District
Not Warming to Palmer’s
Stand for Unmodified Pact
BY ED H. BRADLEY
(Staff Correspondent of The Journal)
MACON. Ga„ April B.—With the
presidential primary less than two
weeks off and the Bibb county sup
porters of Attorney General A.
Mitchell Palmer claiming an over
whelming victory for their candidate,
it is the almost unanimous verdict of
the veterans of many a hard fought
campaign that unless a political
earthquake occurs, the Palmer boom
will collapse like a toy balloon prick
ed by a pin when the votes are count
ed on April 20.
Old timers in the political arena
of Bibb county disagree strenuously
with the assertion made in certain
quarters, and by a comparatively
small coterie of Palmer adherents,
that the attorney general’s position
on the League of Nations has won
him the support of the people of
Bibb county and the sixth congres
sional district.
"The folks In the country are up
in arms against the League covenant
without reservations,” said one prom
inent Macon citizen who has just re
turned from a business trip through
more than half a dozen counties of
the sixth district.
"And don't let anybody tell yon
that the city of Macon is in favor
of swallowing the league hook, line
and sinker, as the national adminis
tration vzould have us do. There are
men here in Macon who have always
fought Hoke Smith tooth and toe
nail, but in this fight they are lining
up with him and will certainly cast
their ballots for him April 20. They
are getting out and working In his
behalf. Some of the strongest Joe
Brown men in Bibb county are with
the senator on this' issue.”
Palmer Campaign Lacks Pep
The Palmer campaign in Bibb
county and' the Sixth district lacks
“pep.” Thus far it has been as
innocuous as near, beer, according to
leaders who have made
a rather careful study of the situa
tion.
Every effort is being made by the
well’s Syrup Pepsin is a combi
nation of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin. Among its impor
tant ingredients is true Egyptian
Senna, which every physician
knows is especially suited to con
stipation in ■women, children and
old folks because of its sure yet
mild action on the stomach and
bowels and its freedom from
griping and pain. I originally
prescribed Syrup Pepsin in 1875.
It has been regularly sold by
druggists since 1892, and last year
the American people boughtover
7 million bottles at drug sto/es.
That should be proof enough of
its wonderful merit in constipa
tion and similar ills.
Buy a bottle of your druggist,
as millions do who are already
convinced, but if you would
rather try it first fill out the
coupon below and send it to me.
I will see that a free trial bottle
comes to you all charges prepaid.
Palmer leaders to get away from
the idea that the attorney general
stands for the indorsement of “every
phase”- of the Wilson administration
and for the ratification of the league
covenant without reservation. They
seem to have caught an inkling of
the feeling of the great mass of the
people, and their mode of operations
has been materially altered in an
attempt, to stem the tide of popular
opinion.
Senator Smith’s speech here on
Tuesday night made him a host of
new friends. Since he explained his
position on the league and clarified
the political atmosphere by his mas
terly exposition of the real issue in
this campaign, many influential cit
izens, who heretofore have been crit
ical of the senator’s actions, have
come out openly in advocacy of his
cause. Unquestionably, his appear
ance in Macon lias worked out to
his great advantage and, . according
to the information being received by
the leaders of his campaign, his
friends are losing no opportunity to
get in all the work possible between
now and April 20.
An effort was made here Thurs
day by the Palmer supporters to
make political capital out of the per
sonnel of the committee appointed by
Malcom Jones, president of the Ma
con Bar association, to meet the at
torney general when he arrives in
Macon for his speech at the audi
torium Thursday night. They point
ed to the committee and asserted
that it includes some of the most
prominent and influential members
of the war, at the same time claim
ing that- they were appointed because
they are staunch Palmer men.
As a matter of fact the commit
tee was appointed as a courtesy to
the attoriey general as a member of
the cabinet and one of the highest
officials of the government. He is
well-known to the' members of the
Macon Bar association, and Presi
dent Jones desired that he be shown
every possible courtesy, entirely
aside from his connection with the
present political situation. More than
half, yes, two-thirds, of the com
mittee are supporters of Senator
Hoke Smith. They are not hesitating
in saying so. But they greeted the
attorney general this afternoon as
representatives of the Macon Bar
association and not as political ad
herents.
Sixth District for Smith
Senator Smith’s position in the
Sixth district is believed to be se
cure beyond per adventure. The men
who have looked into th,® situation
declare that the people will not vote
for the ratification of the League
of Nations covenant on the basis de
sired by President Wilson and Attor
ney General Palmer. Likewise, they
will not cast their ballots for
Thomas E. Watson. Thus they turn
naturally and logically to Senator
Smith, who represents the middle
ground that appeals to a reasonable
and a reasoning public. No one will
claim that the battle is won so over
whelmingly that the Smith support
ers can sit back and take it easy
until April 20. There is no attitude
of cock-sureness about the senator's
friends, but they do believe with full
confidence that the Smith campaign
is over the crest of the grade and
will roll along smoothly to vitory in
the coming primary.
PEACE MOTION’S
ADOPTION FRIDAY
FORECAST IN VOTE
WASHINGTON, April B.—Adoption
of the Republican peace resolution
tomorrow by the house was indicated
today when the rule limiting debate
on the measure to nine hours was
adopted with some Democrats joining
the Republicans in supporting it.
The vote was 213 to 155. Imme
diately afterwards the debate on the 1 )
resolution itself was opened. It will
continue until 5 p. m. tomorrow,
when a vote on the resolution is ex
pected.
Declaring that the war with Ger
many was over and that congress
should assert the fact. Chairman
Campbell, of the rules committee,
opened the fight for adoption of the
joint resolution. The galleries were
crowded at the beginning of the
debate.
Mr. Campbell said the people were
wearied by a year and a half of life
under an executive with war powers
in time of peace and longed for the
freedom of a government with three
separate and independent branches.
Passage of the resolution, he con
tinued, would put the United States
back on a normal basis without sac
rificing or surrendering any of the
rights or privileges to which it was
entitled by reason of its participation
in the war. He adcU?d that grave do
mestic questions make the proposed
action imperative.
“The war is over,” he declared.
“That is known by everyone. Con
gress is therefore within its rights
in declaring a state of war no. longer
exists. Labor, industry, business and
commerce are all impatient to re
sume a status under the laws and
conditions that pertain to peace. It
is the duty of congress to withdraw
from the president the powers grant
ed to him for war purposes. We take
no powers from him that belong to
him in time of peace. He is left with
the utmost freedo mto negotiate a
treaty with the advice and consent
of the senate, as provided in the
plain terms of the constitution."
New Railway Board
Will Adjust Labor
Disputes, Says Esch
WASHINGTON, April B.—Adjust
ment of railway labor disputes and
other important questions is being
delayed by failure of President Wil
son to appoint members of the new
railway board of labor appeals, and
the additional members of the in
terstate commerce commission, as
provided by the transportation act,
recently passed, Representative Esch,
Wisconsin, one of the authors of the
law. said today.
The demand of railroad workers
for increased wages totaling sl,ooi>.-
000,000 annually is awaiting .-.jjioint
ment of the new board, since the
breaking off of voluntary negotiations
between the carriers and the em
ployes a short time ago.
“Congress has done everything it
can to settle the vexing labor prob
lems,” Mr. Esch said today. “Every
thing now awaits the president’s ac
tion. l a m loath to criticize the
delay, because the president may be
scouring the country for the best
possible men to make up the labor
noard, but it should be appointed as
soon as ’possible.”
The railway labor board is ex
pected to be one of the most im
portant in the government. It is to
be composed of nine members, with
headquarters at Chicago, as the rail
road center of the country. The
public, the carriers and the em
ployes will be represented by three
members each, all to be appointed
by the president.
Those representing the carriers and
the employes are to be selected from
lists of not less than six submitted
by the railway executives and the
employes’ unions.. Mr. Esch stated
,V?^ S h ave already been sent to
the White House.
Mohammedans and
Jews Have Conflicts
JERUSALEM, April 7.—Although
martial law was proclaimed here on
Monday and the city is under heavy
patrol by British troops, scattered
fights occurred between Jews and
Mohammedans Monday and Tuesday
in the narrow lanes of the city and
outside the walls. Several persons
were killed on both sides and about
250 were injured, most of them
slightly.
When martial law was established
entrance to the city was forbidden
but this rule was relaxed today and
normal conditions seemed near. The
city is under control of the Eighth
infantry brigade of the British army.
DEPORTS DENIED
TBIT ALLIES SEEK
TUDOPSJIEMOVAL
PARIS, April 8— Reports that
Great' Britain and the United States
had called upon France to withdraw
her troops from Frankfort are en
tirely without foundation, it was an
nounced in an official note issued
today.
It is reported from Coblenz that
there has been a collison of French
and German patrols between Bad
Nauheim and Nieder Wollstadt, no. th
of Hamburg. In the exchange, of
shots a German officer was wound
ed. The report is not confirmed
from ©th'"- sources.
FRENCH FIKE ON’S HUN
MOB AT FRANKFORT
FRANKFORT, April 7. — (Night. I
French troops and citizens clashed
here this afternoon. A number of
citizens were killed and wounded.
Great crowds gathered in the
streets after a rumor -had been cir
culated that the United States and
Great Britain had demanded that
France evacuate Frankfort by i>
o’clock tonight.
One of the incidents contributing
to the fatal clash was an alleged
attack-.upon a German reserve offi
cer by French officers.
The German oficer said he en
tered the Hotel Imperial, the French
headquarters, and was attacked by
seven French oficers, who threw
him to the floor and beat him with
a whip.
The French officers accused the
German of passing improper re
marks.
Citizens began taunting tne
French colonials. One patrol was
over-powered and disarmed. Other
French trops then charged tne
crowd and for a few minutes there
was severe fighting. The number
of killed and wounded could not be
learned definitely.
Tanks, armed with machine guns,
finally cleared the streets and re
stored order.
Rioting had appeared imminent
throughout the day. Speakers har
angued crowds at different points
in the city and patrols were kept
busy dispersing the gatherings which
were in violation of General De
goutte’s proclamaion.
The French commander had for
bidden gatherings of any kind. At
one point a guard patrol arrested
a number of Germane and started
toward the jail with them. Crowds
rushed the patrol, seized their rifles
and threatened serious trouble, but
additional troops arrived and rescued
their comrades, whose arms were
returned. \
RAILROAD STRIKE
IN CHICAGO HAS
BEEN EXTENDED
\
CHICAGO, April B.—The strike of
“.insurgent members of railroad
brotherhoods” which began a week
ago in Chicago, today had spread
to other parts of the United States
and there were indications that the
series of rebellions against organi
zation direction had not reached its
crest.
East and westbound freight move
ment across the continent, already
restricted by the Chicago strike, was
hampered further by switchmen
striking at such strategic gateways
as Buffalo And Kansas City, and at
such indusu-ial centers as Joliet and
Decatur, 111., and Gary, Ind.
Strikes were threatened today at
Milwaukee, St. Louis and East St.
Louis gateways, to the northwest and
the southwest. Strikers predicted,
also, ,that 25,000 men in northern
New York would join them, cutting
off freight traffic from Buffalo to
New York and Boston.
The Yardmen’s association, insur
gent organization which called the
strikes, was forming branches in nu
merous terminal centers, reports in
dicated.
H. E. Reading, general organizer
of the Yardmen’s association, an
nounced that the railway clerks and
freight handlers’ brotherhood would
take strike votes Saturday. At Cin
cinnati 1,200 freight handlers de
manded an answer by Saturday mid
night to their demands for an in
crease in pay from 42 to 47 cents an
hour.
Railroad brotherhood officers who
came to Chicago to assist railroad
managers to break the strike, de
clared reports for today would re
veal traffice in Chicago yards to be
at least 60 per cent normal.
The strikers, however, claimed that
by tonight no switch engines would
be operating in the Chicago district.
A bulletin that the strike was ille
gal, sent out by W. G. Lee, president
of the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men, was on bulletin boards of the
New York Central lines today.
William S. Carter, head of the
firemen, and Warren S. Stone, grand
chief of the engineers, joined Lee in
announcing that the railroad broth
erhood officers demanded that broth
erhood members carry out their con
tracts.
Arrangements were made for a con
ference today at Cleveland of the
chiefs of the Brotherhoods of Rail
way Trainmen, Locomotive Engineers
and Locomotive Firemen.
EMBARGO PLACED ON
FREIGHT IN BUFFALO
BUFFALO, N. Os.. April B.—An em
bargo on all freight 'movement in
and out of Buffalo railroad yards
went into effect today and the posi
tion of the striking insurgent switch
men was strengthened by refusal of
firemen and enginemen to work with
switch tenders and yardmen outside
the ranks of the strikers who have
organized under the name of the
Yardmen’s association.
A practical suspension of business
in live stock at East Buffalo and
preparations to suspend operations in
the blast furnaces at steel and iron
plants because of the embargo on the
movement of coke were among the
first serious effects of the tie-up.
Railroad officials said that no de
mands had been submitted by the
strikers but it was believed repre
sentatives of the men would seek ‘a
conference today.
Suffragists Gaining
In Delaware, Says
Member of House
DOVER, Del., April 8. —The senti
ment in Sussex county is rapidly
toward suffrage, Silas J.
Warrington, one of the representa
tives in the lower house of the Dela
ware legislature from that section,
has announced. He said that, while
he had heretofore supported the
antis, he nOw proposed to use his in
fluence for the ratification of the
amendment. Another indication of
the way the wind no wis blowing
was the snub, openly administered to
Miss Charlotte Bowe, an anti-suf
frage speaker, who had requested
permissio nto speak before the Re
publican county committee in George
town yesterday. Permission was
granted he rto speak, but when the
speaker arrived every member of the
county committee left the room and
Miss Bow ehad no chance to deliver
her address.
Eamonn De Valera, who in discuss
ing the question before the legisla
ture, said that as an Irishman he
would consider himself a renegade
were he not in favor of the cause.
Funeral Ship Docks
With 87 U. S. Dead
NEW YORK. April B.—The trans
port Nansemond, first American fu
neral ship from Europe, arrived here
early today with the bodies of 87
soldiers who died in base hospitals
in England during the war. Rela
tives and friends of the dead assem
bled at the dock to receive the flag
draped coffins. It was planned to
ship all of the bodies to their final
resting places during the day.
There are 800 national banks in
the United States.
Estimated strength of the army on
March 16, 1920, was 239,223.
HOT DISCUSSION
MARKS HEARINGS
ON COTTON WORM
WASHINGTON, April B.—Hot dis
cussion marked the progress of hear
ings before the horticultural board
today on proposals to impose a fed
eral quarantine against the pink boll
worm in Texas and Louisiana.
Chairman Marlett and members of
the Texas delegation, which included
Governor Hobby and other officials,
had several exchanges over the fail
ure of the state and residents along
the Mexican border to make effective
the non-cotton zone originally estab
lished against the pest. The Texans
asked for permission to grow cotton
in the belt this year with an agree
ment to abolish cotton in it next
year if the boll worm were found.
“The trouble with this sort of
an agreement,” Chairman Marlett
said, “is that it is what we have tried
before. We signed the people up to
agreement in the zone that if the
worm did appear they would cease
growing cotton and now that it has
appeared they have considered that
agreement a scrap of paper and have
gone ahead to plant cotton. The
lure of the crop will be just as great
next year as it is now.”
Texas Law Changed
H. W. Barkuloo and C. S. Brown,
representing Texas growers in the
affected zone, interrupted to say that
the Texas law had been changed and
that they were not obliged to keep
thd contract. Ben S. Chapman, presi
dent of the Texas 801 l Worm com
mission, said he believed that noth
ing but a non-cotton zone along the
Mexican border would exterminate
the weevil, but that a great injustice
was done to growers within the zone,
especially since the state arrange
ment for indemnity had not been sat
isfactorily carried out.
“What’s the use of wandering
around the bush?” Chairman Marlett
interrupted. “The question is wheth
er the state of Texas is going to
meet its responsibility and do it in
time. The governor can call a spe
cial session of the legislature now
and secure the proper legislation and
appropriation. We put the matter
up to Louisiana and tney didn’t wait
overnight. The only question is
whether the state wants to take ad
vantage of an opportunity to ex
terminate this pest. If Texas fails
to do that the department of agricul
ture will not take the responsibility.
The federal government has furnish
ed the money to fight the pest, has
shown the method of eradicating it
and has furnished the personnel. We
can do no more.”
Big Stick Won't Help
T. O. Walton, of the Texas agri
cultural extension service, declared
the board could do nothing by “shak
ing the big stick.”
“The fact is that cotton will be
matured in 1920 in the Houston dis
trict,” Walton* said, “and you might
as well declare your quarantine right
now. I’m not speaking in the inter
est of any section. The fact is that
the department of agriculture has
not the co-operation of the people of
Texas and the only thing to do is to
face the situation as it is and adopt
the plan suggested by the Texas del
egation.”
Governor Hobby said Texas would
get results just as soon as Louisiana
and that the legislative members
w-ere already pledged to enact the
legislation for indemnity.
Chaplin Is Floored in
Fight With Manager
Os His Former Wife
LOS ANGELES, April 8. —Charlie
Chaplin’s face today bore marks of a
hotel lobby fight here last night with
Louis Mayer, film producer and man
ager of • Chaplin’s estranged wife.
Mildred Harris Chaplin.
“Ask Mayer and my wife, they can
tell you,” was Chaplin’s statement
regarding the fray.
According to witnesses Chaplin
met Mayer in the hotel lobby ana
demanded he remove his glasses.
Maver complied and Chaplin missed
a swing to the jaw. After several
exchanges Chaplin fell to the floor.
The film comedian’s nose showed
several deep scratches today.
Mayer said the trouble arose over
the settlement to be made with Mrs
Chaplin.
Mayer made the following state
ment:
“The whole trouble arose because,
since the publication in the news
papers of Chaplin’s troubles with his
wife, he has been trying to intimi
date her into settling with him for a
small amount. He sent his man to
the studio and tried to get a settle
ment for a very small sum. He
threatened her. I did what any man
would do to protect a decent woman.”

A “DEAD SHOT”
-SAYS MINISTER
Black-Draught Given High
Praise As a Stomach and z
Liver Medicine by Well-
Old Gentleman
Who Has Used it
Mineola, Tex.—The Rev. M. S. Jen
kins, a retired minister of the M. E.
Church, South, living in this city,
says: “I have used Black-Draught
as a stomach and liver medicine, and
have never found its equal.
“Once I suffered for two months
with cramps and pains, tried every
thing I could hear of without avail,
but Black-Draught was a ‘dead shut.’
“I am known here and all over the
state for my honesty and truthful
ness. I am 78 years old and have
used Black-Draught for years.
“I can highly recommend ’it to any
one as a liver medicine that has no
equal. It is excellent for stomach.,
liver and other ailments. I use it
for a bad taste in the mouth, head
ache and other sickness that come
from the disorders of the liver.”
Thedford's Black-Draught is purely
vegetable, and acts actively on the
bowels, gently stimulating the liver,
and helping to increase the normal
discharge of bile into the intestines.
It assists in the digestion of food
and relieves constipation in a prompt
and natural way.

He did neither! He cured himself instead.
