TEST FOR YOURSELF
Th6 Wonderful Curative Properties Of Swamp
 Root, th6 Great KIdn6u and Bladder R6m6dU.
To Prove what Swamp-ROot will do for YOU, Every Reader of the Age-Hera1d May Have Sample Bottle Sent Free by Mail.

It used to be considered that only urin- ary and bladder troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all diseases have their beginning in the disorder of these most important organs.
 The kidneys filter and purify the blood that Is their work.
 Therefore, when your kidneys are weak or out of order, you can understand how quickly your entire body is affected, and how every organ seems to fail to do it's duty.
 If you are sick or feel badly1 begin taking the famous new discovery, pr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon as your kidneys are we'll they will help all the other organs to health. A trial will convince anyone.
 Among the many famous cures Of Swamp Root investigated by the Age Herald, the one which we publish this week for the benefit of our readers speaks in the highest terms of the wonderful curative properties of this great remedy. Mir. Robert Berner. 14 West 117th street, New York city, writes: "I had been suf- fering severely from kidney trouble All symptoms were on hand; my former strength and power had left me; could hardly drag myself along. Even my men tai capacity was giving out, and often I wished to die. It was then saw an ad- vertfsement of yours in a New York pa- per, but would not have paid any atten- tion to it. had it not promised sworn guarantee with every bottle of your medi- cine, asserting that your Swamp-Root Is purely vegetable, and does not contain any harmful drugs. I am seventy years and fos months old, and with a good con- science can recommend Swamp-Root to all sufferers from kidney troubles. Four members of my family have been using Swamp Root for four different kidney dis eases, with the same good results"
 Truly yours, ROBERT BERNER
 Weak and unhealthy kidneys are re- sponsible for many kinds of diseases, and if permitted to continue much suffering with fatal results are sure to follow Kid ney trouble irritates the nerves. makes you dizzy, restless, seepiess and irrta- ble.

Delaware Court Refuses Application of
John Lynn For a Change of Venue,
and QuaSh Indictments.

The Court of General Sessions at Will
mington. on Saturday. refused the APP
plicatiOn of John Lynn, President of the
Levy Court. for change of venue and
to uuHSh the indictments found against
him for dcIru"lng the county. Mr.
Lynn claimed he could not get Il fair
trial in New Castle county because the
jury would be composed of taxpayers Of
the county which he is charged with de-
fraudng, and also that the Judges who
would try the ease were taNablcS of the
county. Attorney General Ward filed
an affidavit denying this. and cited that
the jurors had no more pccuniHry interest
i'll the outcome of the ease than they
have in any other cases against the peace
and dignity of the county. and that the
Judges had no pccuniary interest. He
also denied that there has been general
combination of citizens against Lynn. or
that the alleged prejudice against him
existed. The Court considered the mat
ter few minutes. and denied both APP
plicatiuns.

Farm Notes.
CORN AND OTHER CROPS.

The recent furry in prices Of corn and
wheat has some connection with the
drouth last summer that cut short the
crop i'll som" of the great corn states in
the West. The summer was wet along
the Atlantic S"nboard. and large corn
crops were the result, but the crops in
the East do not fix the price of grain, be
cause they are not large enough to enter
into comparison with those grown in
Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and
Nebraska.
In times past corn has been as low as
twelve and fifteen cents Il buShcl in some
of these states. and it has even been
used as fuel. because it was cheaper to
grow corn and burn it than to pay for
coal that had To be hauled hundreds of
miles. In recent years Western farmers
have found it more profitable to feed
their corn to cattle and hogs. getting
good profit i'll the price of meat. Many
of the large ranches and ranges in the
West and Southwest are being cut up
into smaller farms, and the effect is seen
in the advance in the price of meat. The
uutlool, for raising cattle and sheep was
never better. The population of the
larger cities is increasing very fast, and,
with the American people meat being
considered necessity of daily life, the
advance in the price Of beef and mutton
can be explained.
When Europeans become more fully
acquainted with corn rs material for
bread in preference to rye. which is
largely used by the laboriug CLASSES
abroad. the demand for corn may become
more active. The present furry in grain

may not be fair for any To do that-lct

disease dyspepsia indicates bad stom-
ach. that is II weak stomach. rather than

is nothing else equal to Hoods Sarsapar-
