kidney ToubIe.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats. and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
1t used TO be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ming in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect Of DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-ROot, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for its

discovery Of Purple.

4 dog belonging to Hercules Tyrius
was one day walking along the sea-
shore when he found and ate murex,
a species OF shelltish. Returning to
his master, the latter noticed that the
dogs lips were tinged with color, ana
il this manner Tyrian purple was dis
covered The color was used in the
robes Of cmpcrors and mobiles, and the
expression born to the purple" meant
that the person was Of high birth. 1t
is strange to think that the faVorlte
colcr of royalty can be traced to the
curiosity or hunger Of the dog of Tyre.

Christmas holidays with parents and
friends, and during Miss Jennie's
stay she had the pleasure of witness
ing the beautiful marriage Of her
youngest brother, and now both have
returned to resume their college du-

Mr.. John Scofill, of Pelion, was in
town during the holidays selling cot

John is one of those farmers who
chew their own bacon and eat their
own bread, consequently "the gaunt

Proverbs

"When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

you to- institute a careful investigation,
which is now in progress. Within the
last week, moreover, the Indian
Rights Association Of Philadelphia
has made public a report Of one Of its
special agents in which are shown to
exist the most glaring frauds in the
Indian Territory and which give
promise of showing that the Dawes
Commission is rotten from top TO bot
tom. Nothing can be learned at the
Interior Department except that the
agent referred to "a nuisance" and
that il is presumed an investigation
will have to be made. AS matter
Of fact, Secretary of the Interior
Hitchcock instituted an investigation
las, May and even went to the scene
himself but on his arrival there he
discovered conditions which led him
to report that there was "nothing
which called for an investigation" ex-
cept some minor defects which he
had remedied. Fortunately, Presi-
dent Roosevelt was not altogether
satisfied with Mr.. Hitchcock's report
and he sent a personal representative,
Mr. Francis +. Luepp, to the scene
and his report would doubtless make
interesting reading although 1t is un-
likely that it will ever reach the
public. 1t is evident that the specula.
tions and corruption practiced by
government officials in Indian Terri
tory have been on scale which will
make the little Postoffice thevery,
which aggregates but few hundred
thousand dollars, look insignificant.
