It is Easy to Tell.

People who fail to look after their
health are like the carpenter who neg
lects to sharpen his tools. People are
not apt to get anxious about their
health soon enough. If you are mot
quite we'll" or half sick" have you ever
thought that your kidneys may be the
cause of your sickness?
1t is easy to tell by setting aside
your urine for twenty.four hours,a sed.
iment or settling indicates an unheal-
thy condition of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is evidence of kid
ney trouble. Too frequent desire to
urinate. scanty supply, pain or dull
ache in the back is also convincing
proof that the kidneys and bladder are
out of order.
There is satisfaction in knowing that
the great remedy DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, fulfills every wish in relieving
weak or diseased kidneys and all forms
of bladder and urinary troubles. Not
only does Swamp Root give new life
and activity to the kidneys the cause
of trouble, but by treating the kidneys
it acts as tonic for the entire cOnsti-
tuition. If you need q medicine take
Swamp Root-it cures. Sold by drug
gists, price fifty cents and one dollar.

1t is vetoed on constitutional grounds.
The measure was stringent in its pro-
visions and made it an offense to have
cigarettes or cigarette material in pos
session, as we'll as to manufacture,
sell, loan or use the same. 1t would
have been a great blow to the tobacco
trade if it had become a law.
