1t would seem to us that the sheriff
house and jail was public building of
sufficient importance that the city would
deem it advisable to build walk across
the street leading to that structure. In
the spring and fall the clay road in
front of that building is very muddy
and pedestrians who have business with
the sheriff have to cross and re-cross
through the mud. We speak from a
personal knowledge. May the sheriff
and his family and public generally ex-
pect a decent crossing?

NOT FOR

But if you have kidney, liver or
bladder trouble you will fad Swamp
Root just the remedy you need. People
are not apt to get anxious about their
health soon enough. If you are mot
quite well'' or "half sick" have you ever
thought that your kidneys may be the
cause of your sickness?
1t is easy to tell by setting aside your
urine for twenty four hours; a sediment
or settling indicates an unhealthy condi-
ton of the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is evidence of kidney trouble.
Too frequent desire to u~ripate. scanty
supply, pain or dull ache in the back is
also convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder need doctoring.
There is satisfaction in knowing that
the great remedy DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, fulflls every wish in relieving
weak or diseased kidneys and all forms
of bladder and urinary troubles. Not
only does Swamp Root give new life and
activity to the kidneys-the cause of
trouble, but by treating the kidneys it
acts as a tonic for the entire constitution.
If you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty
cents and one dollar, or by mentioning

An hour or two, or a day for

The new Jewelry store, Thir-
teenth and Chestnut streets, is a
wonderland of elegance. Youmight
easily think that prices would be
excessive amid such surroundings.
But there are a good many surprises
here.

have the collection of Dresses and
Wraps that has been brought in its
entirety from the Brussels Expos.-
ton. The display of Paris Gowns
and Wraps is in the vast space al
joining.
The neWly-arranged Lace store
is very elegant and holds laces that
deserve place in permanent ex-
hlbits. Everything is for sale.
The heart of the store is given
to Dress Goods-the most elegant
fabrics being in the Salon, south of
center.
Take any elevator to the Third
floor and toward Market street you
will find the new home for Oriental
Rugs. Magnificent pieces of weav-
ing, some quite rare. The finest
rug is $500.
There will be many more ele-
vators running before long. They
are building on all sides.
Next, a trip through the China
store, second floor, center. Cut
! glass, art goods and tableware are
the attractions.
Then to the Basement. The $4,000
