The Kidney Complexion.

The pale, sallow snnken-cheeked, dis
tressed-looking people you so often meet are
afflicted with Kidney Complexion"
Their kidneys are turning TO a parsnip
color. So is their complexion.
They may also have indigestion, or suffer
from sleeplessness, rheumatism, neuralgia,
brain trouble nervous exhaustion and some
times the heart acts badly.
The cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney disease
does not find out what the trouble is until il
is almost too late, because the first symptoms
are so like mild sickness that they do not
think they need medicine or a doctor until
they find themselves sick in bed.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root will build up
and strengthen their weak and diseased
kidneys, purify their diseased kidney
poisoned blood, clear their complexion and
soon they will enjoy better health.
You can get the regular sizes at the drug
store, at fifty cents and one dollar or you
may first prove for yourself the wonderful
virtues of this great discovery, Swamp Root,
by sending your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamtou. N Y, for sample bottle and a
book that tells all about it, both sent IN you
absolutely free by mail. When writing
kindly mention that you read this liberal
offer in the Shenandoah HERALD.

In almost every section of the
country, in various branches of trade,
it is pleasant to note the fact that
employers are voluntarily announc-
ing an advance in wages. This is an
indication that we have entered upon
year of business activity, the
calamity howlers to the contrary not
withstanding. Yesterday the Read
ing Iron Company announced that
on March 1st their several thousand
employees will receive a material ad-
vance in wages. On the same date
the employees of the American
Steel and Wire Company throughout
the United States will receive about
81, 900, 900 more in wages, an increase
of 10 per cent. The employees of that
company at Worcester, Mass, alone
will receive $125, 900 more this year
than formerly. And yet, in the face of
these facts, the free silverites and
calamity howlers will tell US that the
country is going to the dogs.

As THE result OF some years mismauagement
OF its finances the County Of Schuylkii finds
itself In debt 20 the extent Of one hundred and
seventy-eight Thousand dollars. Some progress
toward a correction Of the abuses which re-
suited in thar debt has recently been ~ade, and
the Tax-Fayers Association, which has the
u after " hand, announces that two more years
of economical methods will enable the authori-
ties to pay il of entirely. Until that result has
been attained the Association will relax none Of
It's efforts to force such economy and IL is
com Osed Of energetic and determined men, il
Is likely TO see its expectation realized. Where
the wrong methods prevail nobody except a few
officials profits 20 any eXtent--a conclusive rea-
son why the body % she eople should join
hands with those who would change the man
ner OF conducting the public business.
The above is from the Philadelphia
Inquirer, which has on several occas-
ions displayed commendable interest
in matters pertinent to good govern
ment in this county. While we agree
with our contemporary in its praise
OF the good work Of the Taxpayers
Association, yet we must not over
look the fact that much credit is due
the present efficient board Of County
Commissioners. Without their co
operation there could not have been
a saying Of $50, 900 last year

Col. BoYDEE, a member of the 400
of Brooklyn, N Y, had been wild
over for several years, but on Friday
night last he came to the conclusion
that he wanted to marry again and
concluded also that he could not wait
until the next day. His prospective
bride being, like Barkis, quite willing,
they reused a parson from his
slumbers at / o'clock a IN. and were
married in due form. The Coloners
wedding was, therefore, little out
of the usual run Of such events. Its
results, too, are little unusual, as
the Colonel's bride is the sister of his
son-in-law, so that the gallant old
veteran Of the civil war becomes the
brother-in-law of his son-in-law and
the uncle Of his grandchildren, while
his wife becomes the stepmother of
her brother and the grandmother Of
her nephews and nieces, and in the
usual course of events, it is possible
these complicated relationships will
become still more badly mixed up.
