Any Exempt ?

At no time in the history of disease
has there been such an alarming in
crease in the number of cases of any
particular malady as in that of kid
Dneys and bladder troubles now prey
ing upon the people of this country.
To-day we SEE a relative, a friend
or an acquaintance apparently we'll,
and in a few days we may be grieved
to learn of their serious illness or
sudden death, caused by that fatal
type of kidney trouble-Bright'S
Disease.
Kidney trouble often becomes ad-
vanced into acute stages before the
afflicted is aware of it's presence ;
that is why we read of SO many sud
den deaths of prominent business
and professional men, physicians
and others. They have neglected to
stop the leak in time.
While scientists are puzzling their
brains to find out the cause, each in
dividual can, by a little ~pecaution,
avoid the chances of contracting
dreaded and dangerous kidney trou
BILE, or eradicate it completely from
their system if already afflicted.
Many precious lives might have
been, and many more can yet be
saved, by paying attention to the
kidneys.
1t is the mission of The Progress
sive Farmer to benefit it's readers
at every opportunity and therefore
we advise all who have any symp-
toms of kidney or bladder trouble to
write to-day to DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
BinghamtOn, N. Y, for a free sam
pie bottle of Swamp-ROOt, the cele-
brated specific which is having such
a great demand and remarkable sue
cess-in the cure of the most distress
ing kidney and bladder troubles.
With the sample bottle of Swamp
Root will also be sent free a pamph-
let and treatise of valuable informa-
ton.

TAX THE DOGS.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
l like Harry Farmers talk about
the Legislature taxing dogs. I think
1T is what they should do there are
too many starved ours and hounds
in the country that watch the hen
nests and get all the eggs they can.
And they scratch under the wire
fences, come in the yard at night
and play havoc with anything that
the cook may set out on the shelf to
keep cool. think that there should
be a tax put on them to go to the
school fund. Anyone that wants to
keep a dog should be willing to pay
so cents tax on him and that would
keep us from having so many starved
hounds in the country.
And why should not our Legisla-
ture put themselves on record by in
cooperating each church and school
house in the State two miles and
thus help to stop the traffic in the
accursed stuff that is running so
many of our boys?

be shown that the proclamatiOns of the

out Scab, and not intepded primarily
to shut out Utah Sheep IT can be
shown that there is TAR more scab
among tlIC sheep of Idaho than aIu0ng

that until the people decide by their
