How to Find Out.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-fou
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent de-
sire to urinate or pain in the back. ia
also convincing 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
fnlfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. 1t
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urin-
ate. The mild and extraordinary ef-
feet of Swamp Root is soon realized. 1t
stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you fneed a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty
cents and one dollar.

THE young men who have volunteer
ed to enlist and fight for their country
are entitled to great praise for their
gallantry. 1t goes to show that they
are made of the right stuff and that
they are every inch men. Nothing
disgusts us more than to hear the va.
rious excuses many able bodied fellows
give for not enlisting. 'Mama's Oar
lings," "Henpecked Husbands" and
fellows who are too tr.fing and lazy
to carry a musket are, we are panied
to admit, very numerous The incli
nation in many is to stand back and
''let some other fellows CO." Suppose
everyone did SO. How long would we
have a country? AS stated above
those who have enlisted are ade OF
tine right material, and have shown by
their action that they are lovers OF
their country and are not AFRAID te
bare their breasts to the bullets of any
intruders. All honor to Capt Duncan
and his brave band of volunteers!
