Captain Backus of the bark Edward

a general cargo and says the place is al

chants have followed. 1t does not cost
much to work a vessel at the Siberian
port, according to Backus. He paid the
boss stevedore 81 kopek (about 43 cents)

of that was given to the men the captain
can't tell. Two of the crew of the Ed

Did you make your Grain-0 this way 2

Here are the latest directions
Use one tablespoonful of Grain-O to
two cups of cold water. Mix the
Grain-O with half an egg and add the
water. (Be sure to measure.) After
the water gets to the boiling point let
boil for fifteen to twenty minutes.
Use cream and sugar to suit the taste.
If you have not cream use hot milk.
A lady said: "The first time I
drank Grain o 1 did not like 1t, but
after using it for ten days and forming
the habit, nothing would induce me
to go back to coffee" This is the
experience of all. If you will follow
directions, measure it every time and
make it the same, and try it for ten
days, you will not go back to coffee.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one
purpose, namely, receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one of
two ways. The first way is from I'M
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local treat
ment of otner diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or diseases, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani
festeu in the kidneys, back, bladder OF
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. To find out correctly, Sc,
your urine aside for twenty four hours
a sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and ex
traordinary effect of DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp. Root, the great kidney, and
bladder remedy, is soon realized. Il
you need a medicine you should have
the best. At druggists fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have a sample
bottle and pamphlet, both sent free
by mail. Mention The COLUMBIAN
and send your address to DR.. Kilme
& Co, Binghamton, N. Y. The pro
prieters of this paper guarantee tn,
genuineness of this offer.

Bills were also presented as follows
but held over for the reasons stated {:
The salary of H. Hagenbuch,
which heretofore has been $40
per month, was increased by the
Board of Health to $1a.5o.

of '97-'9S, $75.S7.
The bill of the health officer was
laid aside. Council considers the old

his services.
Several other matters of minor i'm
portance were discussed after which
Council adjourned.
