BUDGET SYSTEM BOX
The Bill 1. Held b, the
President to Be Uncon-
stitutional.
Washington.—The bill to establish
ft national budget system was vetoed
Friday by President Wilson. The mea-
sure was held by the president to be
unconstitutional because it took from
the chief executive the power to re-
move the controller general and the
assistant controller general officers
who would be appointed by him with
the advice and consent of the senate.
The president said he returned the
measure without his approval with the
“greatest regret” because he was "in
entire sympathy with Its objects.” He
added that he returned.it at the “ear-
liest possible moment, with the hope
that the congress may find time before
adjournment to remedy the defect.”
Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Womens’ complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or-
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am-
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don’t delay starting treatment. Dr.
Kilmer*s Swamp-Root, a physician’s pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle im-
mediately from any^drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.—Adv.
Fortune smiles at a few and grins
at many.
