SWAMP ROOT Is the Great Remedy for Kidney, Bladder
and Uric Acid Troubles-To Prove for Yourself Its
Wonderful Merits You May Have Sample Bottle Sent
Absolutely FREE by Mail.

People are apt TO believe that kidney
disease is rather a rare disease. but recent
discoveries have proved that it is most
common trouble indeed.
And the proof of this is, that most dis
eases. perhaps S5 per cent, are caused in
the beginning by disorders of the kid
neys.
You can't be sick if your blood is free
from kidney poison and disease breeding
germs.
Your kidneys should keep it so. That's
what they are there for. And as long as
they are we'll they perform their duties
with thoroughness and dispatch.
You are well when your kidneys are.
Swamp Root. the great kidney remedy.
will make your kidneys well when they
are sick.
Kidney trouble often comes from over
work or oyer-exertiOn. From exposing
them to cold and other weakening infiu-
ences. from lifting or a strain. From over
eating or over-drinking. All these things
weaken your kidneys and poisonous germs
begin to creep into your blood.
1t is at Just such times that DIR. XII
mer's Swamp-Root is needed.
When your kidneys are not doing their
work. the symptoms which prove 1t to you
are pain or dull ache in the back, head
ache, sediment in the urine, scaiding ir-
ritation in passing it, obliged to go often
during the day and TO get up many times

Swamp-Root is the great medical tri-
umph of the nineteenth century; discov-
cred after years OF untiring effort and re-
search by the eminent kidney and blad-
der specialist, DR.. Kilmer, and has truly
wonderful healing action on the kidneys

WOMEN NURSES IN TIE ARMY.
Bill Authorizing Their Employment
Defeated in the House.

The bill to authorize the employment OF
women nurses in the Regular Army and
military hospitals, and to create board
composed of the Surgeon General, the Sec
retary OF War. and at least two women
interested in the work, to direct this pro-
posed new branch of the military service,
was defeated in the House yesterday by
a vote of l25 TO IS. The measure was
considered under q suspension of the rules,
and, therefore, required a two third vote 10
pass.
There were several strong speeches made
in defense of utilizing female nurse SER
vice in the army, the value Of which was
demonstrated during the late war. Among
the most earnest supporters of the meas
ure were Messrs. Lands of Indiana, Grif-
fin of Wisconsin. and SulZer of New York.
Mr. Griffin had charge OF the bill. He
believed the country had already seen too
much suffering as the result Of unfor-
tunate experience in the system of car
ing for sick soldiers during the late war,
and remedial legislation would meet with
universal approval. The Surgeon General
would never approve of the bill MIR. Grif-
fin said, because he was anxious to retain
absolute control of his department.
Mr.. Moody interrupted the speaker by
have absolute charge OF the medical and
hospital affairs of the army. Mr.. Griffin
said no emphatically no, and for this
declaration he was applauded. Mr. Griffin
admitted that no officer of the army had
appeared before the Military Affairs Com
mttee in favor OF the bin. but this did
not argue against the wisdom OF the pro-
posed innovation. and the Secretary of
War. Mr.. Griffin would say, had not op-
posed the measure.
The opposition produced a communica-
it was affirmed that the bill was inimical
to the future welfare of that organization.
An amendment providing that in time OF
war the Surgeon General should enlist the
services of Red Cross nurses was denied
the unanimous consent necessary to
/ consideration.
Mr. Sulzer defended the bill. saying that
its passage would vindicate the noble
I women who volunteered to care for the
sick and wounded soldiers Of the Santiago
campaign.
Mr. Lands OF Indiana, delivered him
self of few remarks on the subject. and
in answer to the claim that the Surgeon
General had shown no disposition to dis-
credit the value Of women nurses in the
service he inquired if it were not true
that the Surgeon General had slurred
women nurses In his testimony before the
AIger Relief Commission. No one was
found willing to deny that the Surgeon
General had done this. But the bill was
defeated when II came to a vote.

Expensive Amusement.

There is a sturdy young blacksmith in
the southwestern part of the State who is
in all kinds of trouble, and yet not saying
a word. His sister was married and his
house was the scene OF the attendant fes-
tivities They danced sang, and made
merry in the usual way, but he thought the
amusement was not intense enough to
meet the demands OF the situation.
Come on" he said to few friends,
I'm going to put little Fourth of July
into this celebration
They went out and in the shop they
found an old generator for soda foun-
tain. Into this was put a big charge of
blasting powder. all openings We're scien-
tifically plugged and slow fuse attached.
Then the smithy and his stan of assistants
ran hack to the house. The fuse proved
reliable So did the powder. The explo-
sion was a tremendous one. The women
screamed, the men turned pale, and then
all hands cheered. 1t WAS great and
glorious send-off
Next morning the sad-faced smithy was
out with a bnshel basket gathering up his
shop. hut he positively declined to say any

IS .4N OLD THIEF.
An Arrest i1l Bridgeport More Import
 ant Than First Supposed.

Bridgeport, Jan. IA. E. White, who was arrested Saturday night by Cap
 tain Arnold and Detective Cronan for alleged burglary and till tapping which
 has puzzled the police officers for the past several weeks has been identified as the thief who stole a whole truck load of goods from Pyle & Tomlinson, wholesale grocers, Water street, about year ago. That affair was one of the boldest pieces of thieving ever con- committed in the city. It occurred be- tween and o'clock in the morning and the many passer by who saw the man loading the goods on to a truck backed up to the sidewalk supposed that he was an employe of the firm. He cart ed the goods to hut on the Jones farm in Fairfield. Owing to a slight snow on the ground the officers were able to track the truck and captured White in the hut and recovered the goods. The truck had been so heavily loaded that two trips were made to take the goods back. For some reason White escaped with Jail sentence of only few months. It is said that Loomis and not White is the mans right name.
