HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
your water and let it stand twenty-four
hours: sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys;
If it stains your linen it is evidence of
kidney trouble; too frequent desire to
pass it or pain in the back is also con-
vlncing proof that the kidneys 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
fulhlls every wish in curing rheumatism
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, blad-
der and every part of the urinary pass
ages. 1t corrects inability to hold
water and scalding pain in passing it,
or bad effects following use Of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being COM
PEELED to go often during the day, and
to get up many times during the night.
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 a medicine you should have
the best. At druggists fifty cents or
one dollar.
You may have sample bottle and
book that tells more about it. both

the fair writer were to see the inner
workings of some of these coteries OF
earnest, industrious women, she would
be surprised at the esprit de corps, the
mutual charity, the absence of petit
ness which she would find. Such a
life develops in US kind of manli-
ness which includes some of he bet
ter characteristics OF the other sex.
AS matter of fact, the happy mar
ried woman is far more Selfish and

ster-hers being none the less selfish
ness because it includes a second self.
There are exceptions, of course, but
not many. Now, modern conditions
of life cause London and the other
big cities to be flooded with female
labor. Young, untried girls go out in
to the field to fight their poor, little
battle. Believe me, they will stand
far more chance Of help from the
bachelor woman who has gone through
her own struggle than from the ma
tron who has never looked beyond

pr,ventinr Frost Injuries

For convenience frosts are classed as
freezes which accompany or follow
the great continental storms. aud
frosts which are dependent upon pure
ly local conditions Freezes which are
foretold by the weather bureau bring
with them such immense volumes OF
cold air that nothing can be done
either by individuals or by communi-
ties to ward OF the damage they DO
Frosts, on the other hand, differ from
the freezes in that they may affect only
single field and may therefore be
readily combated since they may be
foretold by the farmer himself. When.
at night the air is dry and still and
the sky is Gear, the conditions are ia
vorable to considerable fall in the
temperature. II these conditions oc-
cur in the autumn or in the spring the
freezing point may be reached This
fall of temperature is due to the radia-
ton of heat into space and the evapo-
ration of moisture which robs the
earth of still more warmth.
Accompanying the fall of tempera-
ture. however. is the deposition of dew
from moisture held in the air. This
condensation of moisture raises the
temperature by releasing the heat that
held it In the form Of vapor. Thus
the formation OF dew acts as a break
In the cooling process. Now, upon
this break the fruit grower must seize
when he thinks that there is going to
be ! frost He must all the air with
moisture. This may be readily done
by means of spraying nozzle. every
