Women Should Know Il.

Many women suffer untold agony and
misery because the nature of their disease is
not correctly Understood. They have been
led to believe that womb trouble or female
weakness of some sort is responsible for the
many ills that beset womankind.
Neuralgia, nervousness. headache, puffy
or dark circles under the eyes, rheumatism,
dragging pain or dull ache In the back,
weakness or bearing. down sensation, pro.
fuse or scanty supply of urine with strong
OdOr, frequent desire to pass 1t with scading
or burning sensation, sediment In it after
standing In bottle or common glass for
twenty four hours, are signs of kidney and
bladder trouble.
The above SYMPTOMS are often attributed
by the patient herself or by her physician to
female weakness or womb trouble. Hence,
so many fall to obtain relief, because they
are treating. not the disease itself, but a re
Election of the primary cause, which is kid
ney trouble.
In fact, women as well as men are made
miserable with kidney and bladder trouble
and both need the same remedy.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root Is the great dis
covery Of the eminent kidney and bladder
specialist, and Is easy to get at any drug store
for fifty cents or one dollar.

BILE for the very state of things we de-
plore.
When we have the school site selected,
buildings erected upon the most ap-
proved and healthful plan, and school
officers elected, there is no resting place
for then we come into closer relation
ship with the shcool. We have sup
posedly chosen men whom we believe
capable of selecting teachers who will
prove best suited to the requirements of
the several grades. We expect them to
be discriminating but we should never
leave the matter there. Who of us, if
possessed of large means would be will
ing to place them in the hands of an
entire stranger never looking into the
business schemes or trying in any way
to understand what he is doing with
them and yet we place the greatest
treasures we can possess in the hands
of strange teachers while OF such a
tender age and leave them there with
out ever going near them or trying to
know for ourselves what they are doing,
Some of us naver seem to be anxious or
concerned only so they are taken off our
hands for awhile If absurd in money
matters why not in the care of the chill
dren? For what can compare with
them in value, That we send them to
school is truly essential but that we
remain entirely unacquainted with the
person who has charge of them so much
of the time is not necessary. A parent
should become somewhat acquainted
with the one who plays such an impor-
tant part in the development of the
child. Sometimes, yes many times, we
may, by consulting with the teacher,
assist them to understand some pecul-
iarity af the child. Often those traits
which may be attributed to perverseness
or sullen disobedience, if properly
understood, may be overcome without
much difficulty; and often by using that
tact so necessary to school teaching a
pupil may be enabled to overcome in
herited weakness in part or the whole,
or the child at least receive due credit.
As parents we have no business to trust
entirely to the face of the school GER
tificate in.regard to the teachers abilities
or character. Neither should we accept
the estimate of the child in regard to
the matter. Teachers are so often false
ly accused of things by dissatisfied
rebellious pupil. Much of the fault
finding with our teachers would be done
away with if parents would only seek to
get better acquainted with them instead
of foolishly repeating.the stories brought
home by the disaffected scholars. In
nine cases out of ten If parents sought
out the other end of the tangled thread
of such stories they would be compelled
to admit the teachers right and the
pupil wrong. But if the teacher should
prove wrong, for they are human, the
matter is never bettered by sympathiz-
ing with the child. Rather our duty is
to 90 to the teacher first, to get an un-
Outstanding of the matter, then there is
a way to look after the trouble without
doing a lasting injury to your child.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness, is caused by an infamed condi.
ton of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When the tube gets infamed you
have q rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing and when IL is entirely closed deafness
Is the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored tC
its normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an
