Parsnip Complexion.

1t does not require an expert to de.
tect the sufferer from kidney trouble.
The hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes,
the dark. puffy circles under the eyes,
the sallow, parsnip-colored complex
ion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had
rheumatism, dull pain or ache in
the back or over the hips. stomach
trouble, desire to urinate often, or a
burning or scalding in passing it; if
after passing it there is an unsatisted
feeling as if it must be at once repeat
ed or if the urine has brick dust de-
post or strong odor.
When these symptoms are present,
no time should be lost in removing
the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh
of the bladder, in flammation, causing
stoppage, and sometimes requiring
the drawing Of urine with instru.
ments, or may run into Brights dis
ease, the most dangerous stage OF
kidney trouble.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the
great discovery of the eminent kidney
and bladder specialist, is positive
remedy for such diseases. Its repu-
tation is world wide and it is so easy
to get at any drug store that no one
need suffer any length of time for
want of it.
However, il you prefer to first test
its wonderful merits, mention The
Martinsburg Herald, and write to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghampton, N. ",
for sample bottle and book telling
all about it, both sent absolutely free
by mail.

The Farmer Lads Room.

"Be sure TO allow the big boy Of
the family to say just how he wants
his room" writes Mrs. John B. Sims
in an article on The Sleeping Room
on the Farm" in the January Ladies
Home Journal do not make the
mistake of putting the boy off with
just any old thing; many boys life
has been made miserable BY con
slant migration from one sleeping
place to another, winding up with a
bed on the floor just to make room for
some more important member OF the
household. Give him a room OF his
own, and do not ask him to leave it..
The furniture in one boy 'sroom whom
know is old oak; the old-fashioned
lounge is covered with figured Gre
tonne in brown and gold; the big easy
chair matches it. The windows have
draped curtains Of Japanese art cloth
in dull red and gold; even the floor
covering corresponds. One may be
sure that this boy has bonnie brown
hair and eyes. with cheeks like the
sunny side of fall peach. That he
is orderly we can tell from the ar
rangem ent of his collars and neckties
in the top drawer OF his dresser; that
he loves pictures, from the small re-
productions of the good ones which
adorn the walls. His grandfather S
sword, and his great. grandfather s
picture, taken with the drum which
beat time for marching feet in 1912,
serve as constant reminders to him Of
his duty to his home and country,
and unconsciously he tries to live up
to his heroes"

And Save Endless .Suf-
fering which Winter
Brings.

The most offensive of all dis
eases becomes more intense as cold
weather approaches. In fact,
many who have been under treat
ment for so long, and during the
summer feel little discomfort from
the disease, are almost persuaded
that they have been cured. But
the first chilling blast of winter
proves that the disease is still with
them, and as the winter advances,
their. ,Catarrh grows in severity.
Those who have felt only a slight
touch of Catarrh may be sure that
only cold weather is needed to de-
velop the disease. What appears
to be only bad cold will prove
more difficult to cure than for
merly, and will return with more
frequency, until before long the
disease is fully developed.
"For years / suffered from a severe
cese Of Catarrh, and took several kinds
of medicines and used various local ap-
plicatons, but they had no effect what
ever. / was induced to try S. S. S.
(Swift's Specific) and after two months
was perfectly well and have never
felt any effects of the disease since.

of prompt treatment for Catarrh.

China's First Railway.
hnglneerlng ..iagazlne.

The first railroad constructed in
China was mario 8-guage line from
Shsng hai to Woosung, put down in
1876. and intended chiefly as an ocular
demonstration TO the Chinese. At the
end OF twelve months it was sold TO a
Chinese Official, who straightway tore
up The rails and deported them TO
Fornosa. The single dummy engine
OF the line now reposes peacefully in
the mud Of some Formosan harbor,
together with the wreck of the junk
in which it was transported. During
these twelve months of its existence
the Shanghai Woosung railroad, with
its single dummy engine and its train
of small cars, which, by the way, were
of the American pattern, carried 3oo,-
600 passengers. The Chinese came
from far and wide to see and expert
ment with this new barbarian curios-
ity, and the people in the neighbor-
hood, soon finding it an institution of
great practical utility, became regular
patrons The predicted uprising of
the people against the construction of
the road never rnaterialized, and, as
for the graves along the route, every
farmer would manufacture as many
graves as he could get dollars tor per-
mission to traverse them.

turn him loose on 1000 men without
