The way to be well is to pay attention
TO your kidneys.
They are the most important organs of
the body-the blood filters.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
The kidneys strain or filter out the i'm
purities In the blood-that is their work.
Purifying your blood is not a question
OF taking laxative or physic.
Does your blood run through your bow
els?
What the bowel-cleaner does is to throw
out the poisons confined in your bowels
ready for absorption into your blood, but
the poisons which are already in your
blood, causing your present sickness, it
leaves there.
There is no other way of purifying your
blood except by means of your kidneys.
That is why bowel-cleaners fail to do
their work-they fail TO help the kidneys.
When you are sick, then, no matter what
you think the name of your disease is, the
first thing you should do is to afford aid
to your kidneys by using DR.. Kilmer's s
Swamp Root, the great Kidney Remedy.
In taking Swamp Root you afford natural
help to nature, for Swamp-Root is the most
perfect healer and gentle aid to the kid
neys that is known TO medical science.
Dr. Rilmer. the eminent physician and
specialist, has attained far-famed repu-
tation through the discovery and marvellous
success of Swamp Root in purifying the

Weltmer has made his name famous by
the perfecting of that great method which
is known as The Absent Treatment, and
through which he has the power to dispel
disease of all kind, no matter at what dis
tance the patient lives. Thousands of te5-
timonials which are in the possession of
the American School of Magnetic Healing

through this wonderful method he has dis

Through the courtesy of Prof. ]. II. Kelly,
the co-laborer of Prof. Weltmer, we are
permitted to publish a few of the thou
sands of testimonials in his possession
from grateful people who have been re-
lieved from the most malignant diseases
by this wonderful curative power. Hon.
Press Irons, Mayor of Nevada was affiiet
ed with kidney and bladder troubles for
ten years and could find no relief in the
usual remedies. In one week he was COM
pletely restored by Prof Weltmer. Mr..
John S. Small, Colfax, H., was deaf in
his left ear for seven years; could not
hear a watch tick when placed against his
ear. Was permanently cured in three days
by Professor Weltmer. Mr. L. W. Rains, a
wealthy lumberman of Hornbeak, Tenn,
suffered constantly with kidney trouble for
20 years; also with constipation and pros
tatic troubles Exhausted the best medi-
cal skill, but no relief. He fortunately
heard OF Professor -Weltmer, and was soon
restored TO perfect health, and now says
his treatment will cure anybody. Mrs. NJ.
e. Hawkins, Louisburg, Kas., was afflicted
twenty years with prolapsus and enlarge
ment of the womb. indigestion, and per-
petual headache. Tried everything that
offered relief and gave up in despair.

ment one week, and was permanently re-
stored TO health. Mr.. G. ". Hightower,

noise over a star play. notwithstanding the
weather conditions were perfect. Ths
downtown bulletin boards that were keep

the slim attendance at the ball game,
which was gilt-edged all through. Fiheld

fists, and put up a game that is seldom
eQualed. McGinnity had the greater num-
Der OF strike-outs, and gave fewer bases
on balls than did Fifeld. yet the number
of hits made of each pitcher was even.

Cornell Beats Williams.

ITHACA, N. Y, Oct. cornell put up
a strong game against Williams today,
winning by the score of u to 0. Cornell
was able to score only two touchdowns,
but it was rather due to the strength of
the Williams team than to the weakness
and loose playing of Cornell. Again Cor
nell's opponents found the tackles the
most vulnerable points in the line, and
Folger and Boynton, who played the posi-
tions in the first half, were replaced in
the second by Whitney and Paine. Duvall
played a splendid game at Cornell's left
end, his tackling being one of the fea-
lures of the game. Draper, Williams star
halfback, twice gained ground around
Cornells end. but only once was his gain
large one, when just at the close of the
first half he covered twenty-five yards.

Princeton today on the Naval Academy

favor of Princeton. The scoring was done
in the first half, when Edwards secured

had the ball at the close. In this half
Timmons, the cadet guard, had his shoul-
der dislocated, and was succeeded by Belk-
nap. In the second half the cadets were
soon forced to kick, but regained the ball.
and Right Halfback Manley made des
perate effort to score, running fifteen yards
on double pass, but did not succeed.
The game ended with the ball in posses
sion of Princeton at the 40-yard line.
The features of the game were the all
round playing of Osterhaus, Manley,
Halligan. and Workman, for the cadets,
and Of Edwards, Poe, and Wheeler, for

An Innovation.

In the game of ball to be played here on
Wednesday with the Bureau team, Arthur
Irwin will try proposed new rule, which
1t is thought, will greatly add to the in
terest of the sport AS it now stands, the
rules prohibit a base runner from running
on a fly ball until after it is caught OF
passes the fielder, the proposed new rule
allows the base runner TO go the moment
the bah is hit, and make as many bases
as he can, regardless of whether or not the
bali is caught. This will give the fans who
like action in a game of ball run for theil
money. Three innings of the proposed new
rule will be PLAYED as an experiment.

Harvard and Wesleyan.

CAMBRIDGE, Oct. Harvard shut out
Wesleyan at football this afternoon by the
score of 20 to 0. AS whole, the crimson
players put up the best game of the sea-
son, and despite streaks of poor play,
showed some signs of rounding into shape.
In the first half Wesleyan came near scor-
ing, but by good defence Harvard forced
the ball out of the dangerous territory.
The star play of the day was made by
Ellis, the crimson right half back, who
scored touchdown in the second half after
a run OF thirty-fve yards, at the end of
which he jumped clear over a Wesleyan
tackler's head.
