NOT FOR EVERYTHING.

But if you have weak kidneys, bladder
trouble or distressing kidney complaint, then
Swamp-Root win prove to be just the remedy
you need. Too frequent desire to urinatc,
5canty supply, pain or duh ache in the back
is convincing evidence that your kiducysa and
bladder need doctoring.
There is comfort in the knowledge so often
expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney remedy fulflls every wish
in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver
bladder and every part Of the urinary
passage. 1t corrccts inability TO hold urine
and scaldng pain in passing II, or bad effects
following use of liquor, wine or beer, and
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get up many times during the
night to urinate The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases.

WOMEN IN THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
They Are Infinitely Better Than Men as
Teachers of Children.

"Tho CHIEF and underlying cause of The
Decay of the sunday School, says Ed
ward Box in Tho Ladies Home journal,
"is the selection Of incapable and incom-
potUht men us supcrintpndouts. If men
of broader vicws ana keenor perceptions
were suppiiutCndCuts Of our Sunday
schools, the necessity for a few changes in
the teachers would at unCu bo APP
parent and they would be promptly
made. one of these changes would be
that tho masculine element in the nc.
tive conduct would begin and end with u
superintendent, competent assistant or
two ana a systematic liDraiian. Tho
sooner that our churches realize that wom-
en-, and women alone, should hu the touch
ors of the young In thuir schools the nearer
thcy will cuMo to the ideal condition. Tho
moro woman has to Ito with n child, thc
better for the child And tho more sym
pathetic turdcr and well bred women and
the fewer mon we have us teachers IN our
Sunday schools, the bCttcr it will be for
the children and the schools.
But no woman, occupied in business
during tho week, should, either of her own
yolition or UnCor pressure allow herself to
be permitted To act as teacher i'm "a Sunday

business for six days of u week, her sun

We demand this of our teachers in our Sec

ask it of the SUNDAY school. 1t is not
enough that the sunday school teacher

waves. A mysterious charm possessed me. "
