NO MORE PICNICS WANTED.
Lake Bluff Town Trustees Deny Per-
mission to Hold Them Within
the Cornorate Limits.

Lake Bluff. Ill. June 3.-Big picnics
from Chicago are not to be so numerous
here henceforth, unless the village trus-
tees change their minds.
The people have got tired of being
0verrun by crowds of city people during
the summer, and as a result the board
of trustees has refused permission to
several parties representing societies
desirous of camping here shortly.
This place has long been a favorite
resort with Chicago Sunday schools, ,Ow-
ing to it's accessibility, it's fine woods.
and lake bluff and beach.
North shore towns are gradually
shutting out city picnic parties, but ac-
commOdations may still be secured from
farmers owning groves on the bluff out
side corporate limits.

often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer Is

fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every other part of the urinary passage.

fects follow use of liquor, wine or beer,
and overcomes that unpleasant necessi-
ty of being compelled to get up many
times duriD5 the night to urinate. 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. If you need
