The Great Discovery That Cures Kid
ney and BLADDER Troubles.

Statistics prove that more people arc
brought TO the grave by diseases Of the
kidneys and bladder than BY any other
disease.
For many years medical science has
been trying TO discover some remedy
that would positively overcome these
dangerous troubles.
But not until recently was the discoy-
cry made. Doctor Kilmer, the eminent
physician and scientist, after years OF
study and research, and after test on
test that never varied in the grand re-
suit. announced the discovery of Swamp
Root. which has proven itself a most
wonderful cure for all diseases of the
kidneys and bladder.
While Swamp-Root has proven such a
remarkable success in curing kidney and
bladder diseases, it has also proved
equally invaluable in the cure Of blood
diseases. rheumatism, liver and stomach
troubles and in the regulation ard cure
OF all uric acid troubles.
Swamp-Root has been tested in so
many ways, in hospital work in private
practice, among the helpless too poor to
purchase relief, and has proved so sue
cessful in every case, that a special ar
rangement has been made by which all
readers Of this paper, who have not al
ready tried it, may have a sample bottle

DUCKS OR STOCKS?
An Investment That Pays Better
Than Dnbbling In stocks
on Tips.

A circular sent out by firm of tipsterS
says: ut is now over three years since we
first addressed you about our stock opera
tions. During that time had you invested
500 at the beginning and compounded your
profits, your 500 would now be nearly
$4,775. Is there any business that will pay
you better than S4,775 profits on 500 capI-
tai in three years!" A copy OF the circular
fell into the hands of man who made this
rejoinder:
"The answer is, yes-ducks, tame, pud-
die, muscovy, Pekin, or any other breed.
A little girl had Is cents with which she
bought sitting of duck eggs. She bor-
rowed a brooding chicken hen from her
mother, and all the eggs were Matched out.
Her profits for the first six months were 80,
and she kept three hens and drake for
the next six months operations. IL is fair
topresume that her profits will be at least 50
for each six months; one year SIG; three
years, $is. Divide SiS by her Is cents and
the quotent will be 320-that is, each Of
her Is cents will produce 800 cents; on 81
or 100 cents the profit will be $1,000 cents,
or $500; on Si00 capital the profit would be
$50, 900, against the S4,775. Verify good
investment is in duck eggs"

UNCLE SANS 2I-MILE GUN
when Completed VIII be the Creates
Gun in tlae World,

New York, July 2s.--The Journal says:
Major James NJ. Ingalls,, the greatest au-
thorlty on Barlistics in the United States
army. has just worked UP a range table
for the new 1s-inch gun building for this
government, which shows that the range
of that weapon will be 2O.97S miles.
THE new 16-inch guns IS now nearing
completion at the watervliet arsenal.
When finished 1t will be not only the
heaviest gun in the world and the tngest
gun ever built, but 1t VIII be the most
powerful gun in existence.
Ever since the building Of the 1s-inch
gun was commenced artillerists have been
engaged in calculating the various points
of efficiency of The great weapon. The
new gun, 1t must be borne in mind. Is no
toy. It's weight will approximate closely
to 12s tons, while the projectile designed
for II will weigh 1870 pounds, or one ton
100 pounds. Some time ago a noted Ger
many artillery officer calculated that the
range of the new weapon would be about
sixteen miles.
This German officer expressed doubt.
however, Of the conditions being obtaina-
teen-mile range. Major ingalls, now hg-
ures out that the range will be very near
" twenty-one miles, which range he
deems attainable at a much lower angie
of elevation than was declared necessary
by the German officer. Major ingalls,
shows by the closest mathematical deduc
lions that the shot of the 1s-inch gun in
ranging to O.g7s miles win reach mxa-
imum elevation Of 3O.51s feet. or more than
five miles. This enormous range and ac-
companying elevatiin, he says, Is attain
able on a muZzle velocity or 200 foot-sec-
onds, with the gun laid at an angle Of
elevation Of 20 degrees. Firing the same
gun with a muzzie velocity Of only 20so
feet per second and the range. he caicu-
lates, will be 13.s71 miles. with a CORES
bonding maximum elevation OF sl,302 feet.
Major ingalls,. who makes the above
calculations, is regarded as the most re-
markabis man in his line-ordn1nce-in
the United States service. He is better
known. in fact, In Europe than in Ameri-
ca His textbooks on gun firing are
translated into several languages. and are
used in all the noted military schools OF
Europe.
At the time of the queens jubilee, COM
memorating the hftieth anniversary Of
Vietoria's reign. the English artillery au-
thorfties decided TO fire a shot from a
piece Of heavy ordnance with the object
OF attaining the greatest possible range.
