III, consulted three doctors, all of whom
said I had kidney trouble. One of the

that I had gravel, and further said that
IN order to regain my health and life, an
operation would be necessary. I did not

that I would not recover. Someone told
me of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root and said
it was a reliable medicine for kidney
trouble, so I decided to try it and went

took it, noticed results and continued
taking it until / was entirely cured.

FRAME FOR WINDOW
HOW HARMONY IN CURTAINS
MAY BE SECURED.
Woodwork, Wall Coverings and Fur
nIture Must All Be Uniform IL
the Best Results Are to
Be Arrived At.

Woodwork, wall coverings and type
of furniture should all be taken into
account when the curtains are
planned; and there should also be
uniformity in the appearance of the
windows from the outside. The best
way is to put pane curtains in all the
windows facing the street, hanging In
side the draperies assigned to dec
crate the room.
The pane curtains are made OF some
light material and run on rods which
fit into the window casing close
against the pane, the linen window
shades drawing up and down between
these pane curtains and the draper1es
within. Much filed pane curtains and
those looped back or crossed over
each other are not as fashionable as
straight curtains of conventional pat
tern, and these curtains may be sim
ply hemmed or bordered with mar
row ball fringe.
Creamy window hangings are often
far more harmonious in brown, yell
low, green or rose tints. Women who
can stencil cleverly are putting artls-
tic stencilled hangings in library, den
and dining-room windows with ex-
cellent effect.
When the ceilings are over-hlgh Tor
the size of the room, more grace
full effect may be achieved by the use
Of valances. Indeed, the valance Is
the smart thing now in window dra-
perry, and unless the windows are
very low. add greatly to the attractive
ness of the hangings. The valance Is
a strip of the curtain material set be-
tween the two long curtains and fall
ing ten inches or so across the top OF
the windows, making the opening be-
tween the curtains rectangular rather
than V-shaped, as is the case with
draped back hangings.
Great care must be taken in making
the valance to have the hem perfectly
even and the casing at the top the
same width as the casing In the
longer curtains. thread should be
drawn in both curtains and valance to
make sure the measurements are
exact 1t is these little details OF
exactness which give the professional
touches, and no matter how anxious
one is to get the curtains up to see
the effect, the work should not be
slurred over or the result will surely
be amateurish and bad.
