BLADDER TROUBLES NEED
PROMPT ATTENrt

Perhaps you don't know how much
work is required of your kidneys and
bladder or Of how much Importance
they are. Do you know that on these
important organs hinges good
health? Many an apparently
strong, healthy man or woman
has been stricken without notice
by serious kidney and bladder
disease only to realize too late what
might have been prevented with prop
er care and attention.
Some of the early symptoms of weak
kidneys and bladder are lumbago.
rheumatism, catarrh of the bladder,
pain or dull ache in the back, joints
or muscles, at times have headache or
indigestion, dizziness, you may have a
sallow complexion, puffy or dark
eyes, sometimes feel as though you
had. heart trouble, may have plenty of
ambition but no strength, get weak
and waste away.
If you find you have some of the
symptoms mentioned, you need then
a remedy that will reach the seat of
the disease and at the same time
build up the system generally.
Such remedy is swamp-Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder rem
edy. In thousands of cases it has ac-
complished just the work you need
performed now.
Sample bottle of swamp-Root, free
by mail.
Send to DR.. Kilmer & Co.. Bingham
ton. N. Y, for a sample bottle. 1t
will convince anyone. You will also
receive a booklet of valuable informa-
ton, telling all about the kidneys and
bladder. When writing, be sure and

His Real Estate in Iowa Alone is Val
ued at ss,ses,64s and That
is But a Drop in the
Bucket
TOTAL OF s17s.e72,o0s
Smallest Holding of Government is in
Arizona While the Largest is in
the State of New
York.


Talking about concentrated wealth
your Uncle Samuel is something of q
landed proprietor himself. Disregard
ing the vast areas of public lands in
the west to which he holds title, his
navy yards, army posts, etc, he is
worth several hundred millions OF
dollars in improved city real estate
alone
In fact, it is pretty safe bet that
the United States government has
more money tied UP in office buildings
throughout the country than all the
multi-millionaires that could be named
They are scattered through every
state and territory and they are all
situated in growing cities and towns
on specially selected sites. So it is
reasonable to suppose that If, for any
reason, Uncle Sam should ever decide
to sell out his real estate holdings he
would be able to make a pretty profit
on his original investments.
Following is the original cost of the
government buildings in some of the
principal cities of the country: New
York, ss,549,s32; st. Louis, s5,6S6,s54;
Chicago, s3,1O6,574: Cincinnati, IS,
08S,3S2; Boston, $5,0S1,970; Philadel-
phia. s4.623,943; San Francisco, 50.
7oO,571; Cleveland, s1,9s4,61s; Indian
apolis, s1.990,21s; Pittsburg, $t,610,
462; and Baltimore, $1,534,27s.
Altogether there has been a total
of s17s,672,os9 of the peoples money
invested in these public buildings.
They are mostly court-houses, customs
houses, and postoffices, although there
are few quarantine stations and hos
pitfalls among the lot. This total does
not include the value of the sites
which, while in many instances donat-
ed, yet represent an additional out
lay for those which had to be purchas-
ed of $40,087,256 making an aggregate
of S21S,759,345. Nor does this include
any of the important buildings of the
District of Columbia except the trea
sury department itself and some OF
its outlying offices in this city. 1t
only represents those structures which
are directly under the control of the
treasury department.
The original cost of the construc
.tion of these buildings was s152,924
OIL. Extensions and alterations that
have been made to them have cost S11
o42150, and there. has been spent in
their annual repairs and maintenance
s14,705,S97
AS might be supposed New York
State secured the largest share of this
stupendous outlay, and New York City
with its expensive sites and large
needs was, of course mostly respon
sible. The total cost of the govern
ment's buildings in the Empire state
was s29,1G0,179, up to June 80 last
To this should be added $9,189,059 ex
pended for sites. The nearest approach
to taat figure was the $12,449,7 61
spent for construction in Pennsylvania

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN
HINTS FOR THE
HOME NURSE
THINGS SHE SHOULD AND SHE
SHOULD NOT DO.
HERE are some hints for the hom
- nurse

IT ERE are some hints for the home
nurse:
Do not allow your patient to notice
her temperature. This is 9S rs degrees
in normal condition. and any devia-
tion. either higher or lower, shows that
things are not as they SHOULD be.
Any physician viii instruct you in
the use of clinical thermometer.
Never take the temperature after the
patient has taken either a very cold
or very hot liquid. as this prevents
getting the correct degree. Neither
should the temperature be taken imme-
diately after a meal. as this tends to
elevate IT,
To count the pulse place the tips of
the fingers on the under side of the
wrist and count the beats to yourself
for a minute The normal pulse Is
about 70
Always appear matter of fact when
performing your duties.
Never ask the patient how she feels
as a rule, she suddenly discovers she
feels worse-and never discuss the
condition of invalids In their presence
When an invalid is convalescing and
eating solid food do not ask her what
she wants, but try to provide a little
surprise at each meal.
Do not disturb a sleeping patient to
give medicine unless particularly or
dered to do So
Wear soft shoes of pliable leather or
felt and avoid making the slightest un-
necessary noise by cracking papers,
moving chairs or fidgeting in any way
quick soda bath is wonderfully re-
freShing and aids In lowering the tenn
perature. All superfiuous articles of
furniture and clothing should be ban
ished from the siclSroom, and the room
should be kept thoroughly aired
The woman who has not unlimited
patience should not attempt to nurse
any member Of her family Neither
should she who dos not follow the
doctors orders literally.
