A Successful GroCeryman

In a wr1te-up of Milwaukee's
wholesale and retail grocery trade,
Mondays Sentinel contained the fol-
lowing anent a gentleman well known
here:
1--WE were all pleased, said a citi-
zen of this state Of considerable infu-
ence, ''when A. G.. FrOhne located at
this site, 20 Farwell avenue, in 1890.
A profitable business had for years
been conducted there by Gregg Bros,
from whom A. c.. Frohne rented the
premises. He has been remarkably
successful, and catering to the best
trade, has most valuable clientage
of customers, Is per cent. of which is
book. Not only by reason of carrying
the best grade Of goods is he appreci-
ated, but in many other ways. He
was elected president Of the Retail
GrocerS' association Of Milwaukee in
1895, which position he held with
dignity, and for whose interest he
assiduOusly labOred. He is a popular
man of marked ability, and one has
only to understand his kindly nature,
his forbearance, his generosity, to be
most favorably impressed. He was
born on a farm in Green Lake county,
Wisconsin, near Berlin, ninety miles
from Milwaukee, in 1856. In 1881,
he engaged in the produce business in
Berlin, and after valuable expert
ence there, and in Nebraska and
Dakota, established a grocery in Ber-
lin in 1888. He then purchased this
business. He married Miss Elizabeth
Miller, of Watertown, Wis, in 1887.
The premises are remarkably well
adapted for retail grocery"

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twentyfour
hours; sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent
desire to urinate or pain in the back,
is also convincing proof that the kid
news and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulflls every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passage.
1t 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 In the night to urlnate. The
mild and the extraordinary effect of
Swamp Root is soon realized. 1t
stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. II
you need medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have
sample bottle and pamphlet both
/ sent free by mail. Mention THE
WATERFOWL REPUBLICAN and send your

paper guarantee the genuineness o

Fatally Burned.

Mrs. Charles Zimdars, the wife of a
farmer residing about two miles
south of Neosho, met with a terrible
accident Wednesday night which in
all probability will result in her death.
During the day she cut her finger,
which became painful after she re-
tired. She got up, lit a lamp and went
to the kitchen to apply something to
relieve the pain. While dressing her
finger she tainted and fell upon the
lamp, exploding it and saturating her
clothing with burning oil. Her hus-
band was awakened by the fall, rushed
to the kitchen and found her in a
sheet of fire. He ran back to the
bedroom to get something to smother
the flames, and while he was gone,
Mrs. Zimdars jumped up and dashed
out into the yard. He followed her
and with much difficulty succeeded in
tearing off her burning clothing. In
the meantime, the hired man got
down stairs and with the aid of the
children put out the fire in the kit
chen. DIR. Clason, of Neosho, was
called and found the lady so seriously
burned about the chest as to entertain
but slight hopes of her recovery. He
thinks that she is injured internally
from inhaling the fumes of the burn
ing oil. She is about 40 years of age
and has a large family.-Juneau

existing at Fond du Lac that the city

much for steam road roller OF the

more w II o. e m e :,
more beautiful, more completely pleasing
than womanly woman? Such a woman
is even tempered, intelligent, strong and
healthy. Health really tells the whole
story. Health means strong nerves and
strong body, and they go far toward
bringing good looks and amiabi1ity.
A woman worn and wearied by the
dragging weaknesses peculiar to her sex,
cannot be expected to find 2est in any
duty or amusement. Life is all one dead
is written the story of weakness and pain.
The wholesomeness of health is lacking.
The cheeks lack fu1lness, the eyes lack
sparkle, the hair lacks 1uster.
Doctors have learned to locate nine
tenths of womanly sickness in the organs
that ought above all others to be strong
and healthy.
Sensitive women shudder at the
thought of consulting a physician on
such matters. A natural feeling of mod
esty makes them dread the examination,
and subsequent stereotyped treatment by
"loca1 applications on which most
doctors insist
Much more often than not, this is un-
necessary. It should not be submitted
to except as a last resort.
DR.. Plerce's Favorite Prescription has
cured thousands of severe cases of "fe-
male weakness" It works in a natural,
sensible way. It beg ins by subduing the
inflammation that is always present.
Then it strengthens and invigorates the
whole body, particularly the organs dis
tinCtly feminine. It promotes regularity,
cures inflammation and liberation, and
stops the facilitating drain caused by
them. Of all dealers.
