CONDEMNS MEMS CLUBS.
Mira Russell Sage Can See Little
Good Coming From Them

New York, Jan 6--Before the College
Women's club today at Sherry's Mrs
Russell Sage drew a comparison be-
tween mems and wOmen's clubs I'M
dattering to the sterner sex.
.'Women's clubs have usually great
and good aims" she declared whereas
I cannot discover that mems clubs af-
ford anything but eating and drinking
They certainly do not work for good
citizenship. If women had the suffrage
they would appreciate it more than to
sneak OF to a country club on election
day"
It was announced at the meeting that
Mrs George E Dodge has presented to
the club a scholarship in the Chicago

Women Should Know It.

Many women suffer untold agony and
misery because the nature of their dis
ease is not correctly understood. They
have been led to believe that womb trouble
or female weakness of some sort is re-
sponsible for the many ills that beset
womankind.
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, puff
fly or dark circles under the eyes, rheu-
matism, dragging pain or dull ache in
the back, weakness or bearing down SEN
sation, profused or scanty supply of urine
with strong odor, frequent desire to pass
it with scalding or burning sensation,
sediment in it after standing in bottle or
common glass for "a hours, are signs of
kidney and bladder trouble
The above symptoms are often attribut-
ed by the patient herself or by her ply
stefan to female weakness or womb trou-
BILE. Hence, so many fail to obtain relief,
because they are treating, not the disease
itself, but a reflection of the primary
cause, which is kidney 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
discovery of the eminent kidney and
bladder specialist, and is easy to get at
any drug store for SOC. or Sl.00.
To prove its wonderful merits you may
have sample bottle and book telling
all about it, both sent absolutely free by
mail. Kindly mention the True Northern
er and send your address to DR.. Kilmer
