Mr.. Marcellan Ferrier, who is put
ting a second story on Mr.. j. H. Nc
Neely's building on the corner OF c
and Second streets, has the framing
for the second story about all in place.
The building is to be made neat
structure, but we notice that the roof
on Second street extends over the
sidewalk. This is contrary to the
regulations of all well ordered towns.
Mr.. McNsely and Mr.. LeSags have
both now infringed on recognized
rule in this respect, and it would per-
haps be well for the town council to
pass some general ordinance on the
subject, restricting parties to build
ing houses entirely ON their lots, and
allowing nothing but temporary or
attached awnings to be put over the
sidewalks.

Mr.. VIM. G. Lowering, leading New

The Roundup bale of the American
Cotton Company cnotinues to win favor
with the manufacturers Of New England,
as well AS with the spinners of Europe.
You can readily understand why this
should be So in view of the saving, and
and of the fact that after making a very

from this bale is about 25 per cent great
or than the strength of the yarn spun

For a great many years IL has been the
custom for sick people TO say: MY blood
is out of order. 1t needs purifying. l feel
all used up. My skin needs clearing. My
brain feels tired
They are right. but do they act right?
They generally go and get a laxative
Cbowel-cleaner) TO purify their blood.
Does their blood run through their
bowels?
Science has to-day furnished proofs that
all the purifying that your blood needs in
fact. all that can be done, must be done
by your kidneys.
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 a laxative or physic.
Does your blood run through your
bowels?
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, II
leaves there.
There is no other way Of purifying your
blood except by means OF your kidneys.
That Is why bowei-cleaners fall 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.. Kilners
Swamp-Root, the great Kidney Remedy.
In taking Swamp-Root you AFFORD ma
tural help to nature, for Swamp-Root is
the most perfect healer and gentle aid to
the kidneys that is known TO medical
science.
