There is comfort i'll the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, 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 corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain i'll passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and

is soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis

LAMPS FOR READING AND
SEWING IN FAVOR THIS WINTER
Are Better for the Eyes and Come Artistic in
and Attractive Designs

Lamps for reading and sewing are
stiIl preferred by those who have much
need of artificial light. though electric
and gas fixtures have been made prac-
teal FOR such usages. The mellow
light II a student or reading lamp and
the strong burner In one OF the sew
ing" OF table variety are much easier
on the eyes when burned during the
long fall and winter evenings than
white light from gas or the glare from
an inoandescent globe that IS not yellow
or soft enough to be agreeable. KerU-
sene lamps Of thirty or sixty candle
power are found TO be more servtcea-
bic than any other kind Of light for
night work. and better for the eyes,
and, though 1t is a trouble TO I'LL them

to keep the wicks IN condition and the
chimneys and globes clean. they are
used In almost every household where
the smartest gas and electric fixtures
are installed.
Student lamps for reading have
either one or two burners, according
TO the purpose for which they are need
ed, and the variety used on a table for
needlework has one large round burner,

Gun Metal Finish Liked.

Less ornate than the student lamps
are the ones used for sewing They,
too. are in metal and the nickel or
bright brass ones are decided favor

gun metal and antique finishes that
have been introduced this season. All
the lamps used for needlework are
made on the same lines with a round
base, and a conelike tapering bowl

Most Of these lamps are plain, with
only an occasional row of beading on
the base and around the bowl. Others
have the standard composed Of grad

match. The designs in the glass globes
are less elaborate than those on the
student shades. for few OF them have
any decorative patterns. When one is
used IL IS a simple scroll effect that is
ir harmony with the plainness of the
metal.
These lamps. as Well as the ones
used for reading. are only from four

STYLES Are Simple.

The styles in these lamps this fall
are simple. All are Of metal Some in
the bright brass. others in the dull or
antique finish. while a number Of cop
per and imitation gun metal viii be
used. In the student lamp the burner
and the receptacle for oil are all pat
termed after an acorn design. Some
of the tanks are plain with a rounded
top that looks much ike the upper
portion Of an acorn, while others are
decorated on the sides and tops in
Louis XVI designs, or with dragons
that are clear cut and quite effective.
These bowls for oil are usually on

WOODEN UTENSILS

Among the various kitchen utensils
in a well-equipped kitchen are found
the almost Indispensable articles made
or wood, such as bread and meat
boards and ChOpping bowl
True, In some Of the more Ynodernlv
furnished kitchens these articles are
found in marble, glass. or other non
nbrOus substance. but I'm the country
homes the wooden articles are usually
forced TO do duty.
The care OF wooden utensils is ex-
tremely important not only because
they prove most uusanitary, affording,
as they do, creviCes IN which particles
of food may lurk and decompose.
No wooden utensils should ever be
placed away without thorough cleans
ing.
A blunt scraper viii come in handy at
times I'm the process OF cleaning.
Scrubbing with a good brush. cold
water and securing soap is the best
method of cleaning such articles
Hot water poured on wood softens the
fiber and permits the particles of food
material adheTing 10 IL 20 sink into the
wood, thus rendering IL very unsani-
JaTy.
The scraping and scrubbing must al
ways be done with the grain of the
wood and no article should ever be
placed away without first being dried.
After rinsing wipe with a coarse
cloth and then, whatever the article
may be. put il i'm the open air to dry
and not in the pantry,
If sufficient glyceriue be rubbed into
a wooden howl 10 soak IL before il is
ever used. scrubbed with a hot solution

thoroughly iu the open air, II will last
much longer than if not treated in this
way.
Never turn a bowl upside down on a
shelf A cracked bowl Will be the re-
suit III the habit is continued for long.
A meat board requires more careful
attention than, perhaps any other
wooden utensil.
Meat deCOmpOses very quickly ana
there is a liability of particles Of meat
finding their way into any cracks which
may DE in the board.
These should be cleaned out and
scrubbed after each using Of the board,
am a not too strong solution OF sal
soda and water may be used in cleans
ing the board.

to stone. A second time he crosses the path
of redhot fire. followed by his four disciples.
Through an interpreter all are urged IN

ward, dehantly twirlng his little mustache
an American tourist follows; then one or
two natives. whose daring is applauded by
their fellows.
Once more the necromancer steps up the
incline OF the causeway. always waving his
wand. With set lips the novices follow
shrinking fearfully at first. then proceed
ing with confidence. shading faces and eyes
from the fierce radiation of the heated
stones. Accomplishing the transit they
show that their shoe soles were not ever
