ward, as a freshman without stand
Ing the customary entrance examIn-
alton.
One Of the first things required by
a school that Is admitted 10 this or
ganization 10 every teacher must be
college graduate. That no teacher

mands that the school spirit shall

tack the vital organs, causing catarrh OF
the bladder, brick-dust or sediment in
the urine, head ache, back ache, lame
back, dizziness, sleeplessness, nervous
ness, or the kidneys themselves break
down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
better health in that organ is obtained
quickest by proper treatment of the kid
fleys. Swarnp-RoOt corrects inability to
hold urine and scalding paininpassing it,
and ovefcomes that unpleasant necessity
of being compelled to go often through
the day, and to get up many times during
the night. The mild and immediate effect
of Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest be-
cause of its remarkable health restoring
properties. Atrial will convince anyone.
SwaInp-Roo is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and
one-doilar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle and book that tells all
about it, both sent free by mail. Address,
