GET THE RIGRT CAR.

Lsurn Jean Libbey. the writer, being
interviewed on marriage. says:
Marriage is like running for the
street car. You run and you run You
get very much. excited and out OF
breath. Then when you have caught
the car you sit down In your scat and
you nre not excited any more. You
are just quiet and satisfied"
The smile Is an apt one.
The undue haste OF many modern
marriages Is fitly compared with a
breathless run after the street car
both unnecessary.

the platform OF, the matrimonial rapid
transit line when he discovers he IS

tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of
the bladder, brick-dust or sediment in
the urine, head ache, back ache, lame
back, dizziness, sleep1essness, 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
neys. Swamp-Root corrects inability to
hold urine and sca1ding pain in passing it,
and ovcrcomes 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
- soon realized. 1t stands the highest be-
cause of its remarkable health restoring
properties. A trial will convince anyone.
Swainp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in ffty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle and book that tells all
about it, both sent free by mail. Address,
