The streets of Manila are so modern
as to be quite out of keeping with the
general appearance of the town. They
are perfectly straight, macadamized.
and provided with ample granite
walks. Of these the Esconta and the
Rosario are the best. In both these
are excellent shops, kept principally by
Chinese merchants, most of whom

Peaches served in the French way

OF sugar is the proportion to a dozen

little more sugar is added, about half

Chocolate is quieting to the nerves,
but in its prime condition as bever-

to have quieting effect upon full
stomach which has had it's share of rich

luncheon, prepared by an expert in the
art, has been known to have such dis
quieting effects upon the internal econ

NOT FOR EVERYTHING.

But if you have kidney liver or blad-
der trouble you will find Swamp Root
just the remedy you need. People are
not apt to get anxious about their health
soon enough 1t you not quite we'll
or half sick have you ever thought that
your kidneys NAV be the cause OF your
sickness?
1t is easy to tell by setting aside your
urine for twenty-tour hours; a sediment
or settling indicates an unhealthy condi-
ton of the Kidneys. When urine stains
linen 1t is an evidence of kidney trouble.
Too frequent desire to urinate, scantv
supply, pain OF 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.. Kiimer's swamp
Root tulfills every wish in relieving weak
or diseased kidneys and all forms ot blad-
der trouble. Not only does Swamp Root
give new lite and activity to the kidneys
the cause OF the trouble, but by treat
