There is comfort IN the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Roet, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver. bladder and every part
Of the urinary passage. It corects inability
to hold water and scslding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of LIQUOR,
wine or beer, and oYercomes that unpleasant
necessity Of being compelled to 20 often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect Of Swamp-ROOt is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its Won
derful cures Of the most distressing cases.

SARDINES FAIL
The French Crop Will Be Unusually
 Short This Year

Paris-The French sardine crop for the year is failure. One of the causes assigned is at variance with the exner- fence of the ordinary fisherman; it is that the fish are too large. The sar- dine comes principally from the At lsntic Coast of France-not from Sar- dinia.
 The bait used in sardine fishing is known as la roque, being the dried en- trails and eggs of herrings and other fish, imported principally from Nor way and Sweden. The fishermen go out from the coast with their fleets of small boats and cast the odorous bait into the sea in great quantities, which generally attracts the sardines in shoals. But this year the price of bait was unusually high, and it was used at the outset in niggardly fashion. The fsherman's price for the sardines is ordinarily from s2.5O to $2.70 per 1000.
 The United States alone uses each year more than $l,000,000 worth of French sardines and $l,OO0, ,OOO worth from Portugal. The Nantes sardine is superior to all others.

FLOODS AND LANDSuDES
WREAK GREAT HAVOC IN STATE
 OF WASHINGTON
Railroad and Electric Service Generally Stopped The White and Stuck Rivers Overflow their Banks-Great Northern Trains Laid Up.

Seattle, Wash. -- The Great Northern Coast line and the Northern Pacific's line to Sumas are the only lines of railroads running out of Seattle which are open. For three hours today even these lines were blocked by slides. Floods have interrupted the train ser vice on the best side of the mountain and slides in the mountains have added to the trouble. In addition there have been.numerous small slides occur ring on the west side lines.
 The electric line running between this city and Tacoma was open for a part of day. All trains were cancel ed, and notice was given that further communication with Tacoma was im- possible for an indefinite period. The Northern Pacific cancelled its Portland train, and the Columbia and Puget Sound Railroad was unable to send out a train owing to flood doing damage at Benton. The Canadian Pacific has been able to send trains eastward, but both the Northern Pacific and Great Northern are blocked.
 Tie Great Northern will be com pelled to arch it's bridge at Madison, and this delays reopening the overland line for an indefinite period. It is probable now that the first communi- cation with the East will be made by Great Northern and Northern Pacific trains by way of Portland, though re- ports that the Oregon Railroad and Navigation roadbed was soft indicates flood troubles that may make this inn possible. The climax in the railroad flood situation was reached when the White a:id Stuck rivers in King and Pierce counties went out of their banks, burying the Interurban and Northern Pacific tracks between Seattle and Tacoma several feet under water, flooding the valley between Auburn and Kent, and driving many of the residents all through the White River Valley out of their homes.

A story told by western congress- man is about two brothers, Ed and Jim, who dealt in wool at their home in Iowa. Jim went to a revival meet ing (unthinkingly, the congressman says) and "got religion" In his first burst of enthusiasm he told his brother of how much better he felt since his conversion and urged Ed to come into the fold. The latter pondered gravely for time and then said: "Ain't any doubt but what religions good thing. and I'm glad you've got it. Jim but guess you better let me alone just now," he continued collectively. You see, Jim. one of US has got to weigh the wool"
