According to my experience, do not
consider there is anything to equal
Swamp-Root for kidney affection.
Twice it relieved me when was COM
pletely helpless.
The last time was travelling in Texas,
when my kidneys became affected, and
for tendays suffered excruciating pains,
accompanied with severe chills. Several
years previous, having been relieved of
a similar attack, / naturally sought re-
lief as before from Swamp-Root.
After using four of the large size bot
ties, | was completely restored and
went on my way rejoicing and praising
Swamp-Root. This was three years
ago and have had no indication of a
return of the affliction.

Freak Blaze Extinguished.

awning, window and window casing,
all of which formerly did duty at his
office in the Matlock building. AS
Robert Fletcher was passing the
building on his way to the ball game
yesterday afternoon he discovered
what he thought was a blaze bursting
out from the inside. He rushed into
the building just as the flames broke
through the glass from the outside.
1t seems the japanese janitor had
built up a big fire and gone off and
left it with the drafts all open. The
result was that sparks of various size
and degrees of holiness were soon
pouring out of the chimney. One of
these dropped onto the awning with
the above results. Fletcher and Vim
cent Immediately formed themselves
into bucket brigade and extinguish-
ed the blaze.

Last October. following the decision

Cretans declared that they were

PEELED local officials to take the oath
to the King, and began to administer
Justice on the island in his name
sending contested cases to the courts
at Athens. and, a fortnight ago
raised the Greek flag over all public
edifices on the island. This reused
the already greatly irritated Turkish
government to sharp protest. II was
no longer the brutal autocracy Of
other years, but the enlightened and
constitutional government of a mod
ern Turkey In which there are pro-
fessedly no distinctions Of race or
creed, a government acclaimed by the
Powers To them IL appealed. Since
the establishment of the constitution
in Turkey three important provinces
have been lost. II Crete should be
taken also, reactionaries would raise
the cry that the constitutional system
meant only Turkeys dismemberment
would organize an insurrection, and
restore the autocracy. On the other
hand. Greece is in no humor for an.
other war with Turkey. Only one
way out remained If peace were to
be preserved: the Powers should not
leave Crete. but continue their rule
a little longer. II is only question
of time when Crete shall become fully
Greek. a liberal payment of money
being secured from Greece. It would
be a pity to precipitate an avoidable
war. however. which might result in
a European conflagration.-The Out
