A few hints on church decoration
may not be out of place, considering
the plans that all are making at this
time for Christmas special services.
The rules of good decorations are as
follows: First, all decorative work
should begin at the top and work
downwards. One spray at the top is
more effective than bushels at the
bottom. Second, good decorations
should emphasize and not conceal the
architectural lines of the building.
Common mistakes are to over-deco-
rate the pulpit, and to under-decorate
the body Of the church. A pretty
feature, and one increasing the effect
of complete decoration, is to care.
fully arch the entrance 10 the audi.
ence room, or even the outside en-
trance to the church. This last,
done with some invitation letters, is
an attraction to the church, and will
bring IN many passers- by.-Vermont

NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD.

A fact often overlooked, or not always
understood, is that women suffer as much
from distressing kidney and bladder
troubles as the men, The womb is situa-
ted back of and very close to the bladder,
and for that reason'any distress, disease
or Inconvenience manifested'in the kid-
neys, back, bladder or urinary passage Is
often by mistake, attributed to female
weakness or womb trouble of some sort.
The error is easily made and may be as
easily avoided by setting urine aside for
twenty -four hours; sediment or set
thing is evidence that your kidneys and
bladder need doctoring. II you have
pain or dull aching in the back, pass wa
ter too frequently, or scanty supply, with
smarting OF burning-these are also con-
vincing proofs of kidney trouble. If
you have doctored without benefit. try
DR.. Kilmers Swamp-Root, the great
kidney remedy. The mild and the ex-
traordinary effect will surprise you. 1t
stands the highest for its wonderful
cures. If you take medicine you should
take the best. At druggists fifty cents
and one dollar. You may have a sample
bottle and pamphlet, both sent free by
mail. Mention SITTER and send your
