What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DIR. Kiliuer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulflls every wish i'll curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
1t 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
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medicine
YOU should have the best. Sold by drug

The Line OF Battle.
Here is Acture OF the line of bat
tie. Yonder are the two tanks of the
army, thoroughly intrenched and pro.
tected from the line OF fire. Here is
the center Of the army made up Of
men with stern faces fighting for their
lives. Again and again the enemy
charges. The brigade and the division
commanders become frightened. Away
their staG officers gallop to head
quarters, begging and beseeching for
re-enforceinents. I'VE must have more
troops or we are lostr' is the cry, but
the far seeing eye of the commander
In chief sweeps the field with his glass
and answers: Not yet! The rear guard
must be held in leash for awhile. Not
yet. Go back TO your generals and tell
them to hold their positions n little
longer!" Still the battle RACES. But
just as the enemy have concentrated
their fires and moved forward on a
grand charge. then the commander
says; "Order mp the rear guard. This
is the psychological moment. Now let
the great forward movement be
made" Then the reserve force, like
a great avalanche. sweeps on, and the
charging force is halted Then the
enemy is driven back Then the
charge is turned into a rout and fly
ing mob. So it is with the Divine
Commander. He lets us struggle on
and on. He lets us struggle until all
seems lost. Then with mighty clar-
ion call he moves up his reserve force
and turns our impending defeat into
a glorious victory. for 1.-THE God of

TONNAGE ON THE RIVER
The One Solution of the Question is
Found in Improved Waterways
and Harbors

If the question of present tonn-
age" had been taken into considera-
ton as the, prime and moving factor
in the earlier days of the United
States. it is exceedingly improbable
that capital would have been induced
to invest in the construction of rail-
roads. But the builders Of railways
looked to the country it was designed
to pierce with the rails, to its pos
sibilities of mine, of field, of forest
and of climate and procured
tlaeif charter, subscribed their capital
stock, overcame engineering dun -ul-
ties and constructed their lines
through territory which then was a
wilderness burt today IS teeming with
commercial and industrial lffe.
There was no tonnage across the
Allephanies. save in the Conestoga
