You are in no danger of being sick if you keep your kidneys well.
 They filter your blood, keep it pure and free from disease breeding germs.
 Your other organs may need care, but your kidneys most, because they do most.
 If you are sick, begin with your kid neys, because as soon as they are well they will help all the other organs to health.
 The treatment of some diseases may be delayed without danger, not so with kidney disease.

 Swamp-Root eorrects inability to hold water and promptly overcomes that un- pleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day and to get up many times during the night.

THE SHAWL COMING BACK.
Combinations of silk and Wool Already in Use.

There is every indication that before the next new skirt pattern comes out there will be no more honored article of wearing apparel quoted than the hitherto humble and inconspicuoHs shawl. Without the least warning the shawl has become exceedingly modish. Exquisite crepe silk squares with fringed edges and colored borders iH Partisan pattern are an essential part just now of the evening toilet. The crepe squares are sometimes delicious ly embroidered. or even painted, and assume in good part the duty long ful- filled by the boa. At home in the after noon women wear exquisite imported Japanese shawIs of mingled wool and silk in pigeon-throat purple or white and pine leaf-green pinned like capes on either shoulder. so that the front points can be thrown back or drawn forward at will, while in the rear the shawl hangs like large, loose hood. A new fringed silk shawl very much worn, woven in the shape of Scotchman's plaid or a toreador's scarf, is caught on one shoulder and allowed to swing clear or is drawn up close about the figure. Less costly than these are scarf shawIs or wool gauge, with bands of bullion or colored silk alternating with the wool Philadelphia Press.

Scholars Must Stand Like Human Vessels and He Loaded with
 Cumbersome Facts.

If your boys tastes are not scholarly

 through the books, and the books will go through him; there is no assimila- tion. After all, what are our children
 being educated for? The boys are to be
 breadwinners. They must hurry
 through and hustle for a living" The girls-let us believe it-are the future homemakers. The word helpmeet is obsolete-left behind with the woman who made Eden paradise. Constantly the question Is being brought up:
 Shall this and that be added 10 our public schools?" But who asks: "Cau the scholars endure any more?" They have no protests nor petition; they must stand like human vessels ready to be filled to the brim with mixtures oi facts. plead for a childhood of the soul as well as of the body, for the free air, the blessed sunshine, the moderate task ended at the schoolhouse This night young heads are leaning against their mothers, tired as no young things should ever be, and ii is a sorrowful sound to hear child waking from what might be the sunny slumber of light heart beating to healthful music to ask in troubled voice: Do you think can make the pass grader" It Is said that they like to go to school. Yes, and they would like it twice as well if there were half as much to learn. Many children have l known. but not one who loved study for its own sake. Companionship is what lures them. Instead of wander ing up and down the wilderness of win try facts, let them loiter awhile among the dear illusions.

 The trouble originated in Memphis over year ago, when Michigan is said to have bid up one of Schorr's flyers in selling race, which so en- ragged the Memphian that he used, as 1t is alleged, language that could not be considered at all complimentary to the Arkansan. Mir. Schorr was served with notice of the suit last week at Hot Springs, where he went to rest up before the spring races commence. Me Guigan's home is in Garland county.

nestinRn to Be Great.

The shipping clerk kept his rubber stamps in a big, deep box on a shelf near him, "where they are handy" he said. But the errand boy was looking for an opportunity to make himself invaluable, so at noon, while he was in charge" of the works, he drove small nails into the partition in such man. ner that each rubber stamp could be hung separately on two nails. An impression of the stamp was then made upon small slip of paper, and this slip was pasted above each stamp. The appreciation of the shipping clerk was shown when he said this arrange. ment saved him at least an hours work every day.

 Everything that affects the welfare of the people is d legitimate subject of comment 10 the real statesman. The statesman is not d narrow man. It is the politician who is narrow. The true statesman looks out on the world as it is, and seeks, as far as is in his power, to remedy evils and encourage the good.

This remedy has been thoroughly tested during the stforty years Prominent men have come to know of it's virtues and are mallingpub- lie utterances on the subject.
