Important to All Women
Readers Of This Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and
never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other
organs to become diseased.
You may suffer a great deal with
pain in the back, bearing down feelings,
headache. and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrit-
able and may be despondent;l it makes
any one so.
But thousands of irritable, nervous,
tired and broken down women have re-
stored their health and strength by the
use Of Swamp Root. the great Kidney,
Liver and Bladder Remedy.
swamp Root brings new life and ac-
tivity to the kidneys. the cause of such
troubles
Many send for a sample bottle to see
what Swamp Root, the great Kidney
Liver and Bladder Remedy will do for
them. Every reader of this paper. who
has not already tried it, may address
Dr. Kilmer & Co, Binghamton, y. Y,
and receive sample bottle free by mail.
You can purchase the regular fifty-cent
and One-dollar size bottles at all drug
stores.

safety Of society. and the good OF the
state are served by taking prisoners out
OF prison walls and employing them
on the highways. He says:
When a man is convicted Of crime the
law does not contemplate sentencing
him to tuberculosis. but conditions are
such in many poorly constructed and
over crowded penitentiaries that many
men are sentenced to tuberculosis when
they are sent to the penitentiary. Labor
in the sunshine and pure air is much
more conclusive to good health and
self respect than work within the peni-
Tertiary. Giving convicts such en-
ploymen- fits better with the modern
theory as 10 the proper treatment Of
the errins brother than keeping him
indoors amid depressing and insanitary
surroundings.
Why doesn', Iowa try it OUT Why
don't we gather up the riff-ran Of the
cities and set them to honest labor?
Why don't we force the man who will
not work for himself and in support OF
his family to work for the state. sup
port their families and repay their OBJ
legations?

nave fears and hopes, even on the gal.
lows. that the rest Of US can not COM
prehend. 1t Is only NATURAL that .
man IN such . predica ment might turn
his thoughts to God and the hereafter
and II he should seek to make what
is called his peace, shall we misunder-
stand 1t. or belittle it? Philosophy ana
even reason may fail men in such times
and they cling to something that OF.
fers more comfort and more consola-
ton. 1t IL q matter that few OF us
can comprehend and understand and It
is one that Is best left without judg-
ment passed on 1t.
And as to the church receiving such
a man what is church for. II 1t 10
not for those who are miserable? Would
1t be church II II offered no refuge for
men so sorely afflicted? That the man
turned to the Catholic church rather
than to the church in which he was
probably brought up may mean
nothing more than the Catholic church
is specially adapted to the wants OF
man under such conditions and circum-
stances. The priest TO whom the last
confessions were made did not have
10 hold out immediate entrance Into
heaven as the result OF such concession
and profession. For him it was simply
first preparation. The church. as We
understand 1t, has purgatory where
human redemption mus. be worked out
further than II can be here on earth.
Az these are matters bu. impercelty
understood by most Of US but 1t Is at
leas. safe for us 10 withhold Judgment
on both the man who dies on the gall
lows and on the church that does not
desert him in even that dark hour.
