WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfllls every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. it
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine Or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to
urinate. The mild and the eXtraordi-
nary effect of Swamp Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distress
ing cases. If you need medicine you
should have the best. Sold by drug
gists, price fifty cents and one dollar.

overHowing with the guests who re
sponded to the invitations Of the club.
The program passed off most smoothly
and was of just the right length, and as
no encores are allowed by the club. no
one was worried by too much harmon
ious sound. The program was opened
by the Ladies' Chorus o. the Matinee

have taught his new throwing wing

has been tried by players repeatedly,

the knack. A player could develop a

to practice left handed pitching, and
showed the patience Of Job while at
tempting to domesticate the left wing.
He practiced long enough to get pretty
fair command of the ball, but he
couldn't pitch the curves, and when
his working arm played out entirely
