OLD SOLDIER WISHES TO HELP
SUFFERERS FROM KIDNEY, LIVER
AND BLADDER TROUBLES.

I am frequently troubled with kidney
and bladder trouble, especially in the
Spring and Fall Being an old Veteran
of the Civil War, little exposure OF
cold settles on my kidneys, and then l
am laid up with kidney or bladder
trouble. Your Swamp Root was recon-
and I took a number Of bottles of it
and was more than pleased with the re-
suits. l consider Swamp-Root the
greatest and best kidney medicine on
the market and it never fails to give
quick results in kidney trouble, bladder
trouble and lame back.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root has done
me so much good that I feel if any
words Of mine will be the means of
relieving any poor sufferers, that you
are at liberty to use this letter az you
see fit.
Yours very truly,

Dairyinq and Soil Fertility.

No other branch of agriculture pre-
:ents more advantages than dairying
-disposing of these products of the
farm as milk a-:d butterfat. When
The latter may be sold to creamery
stations and the skim milk fed to
calves and pigs along with alfalfa the
profits are greater than from almost
any other form of agriculture.
No other business tends so rapidly
10 build up the fertility of the farm.
and when judiciously conducted, no
other branch Of farming yields more
satisfactory financial returns. Raising
and feeding alfalfa will add from 10
to so per cent to the profits of dairy
Ing over the use of any other feedstuff
that may be raised or bought. The
profit problem for the dairyman is con-
stantly to find the feed that will de.
crease the cost of his production.

Then, stepping into the hall OF the

two men made their home. he called
back: "I'll make my first effort now"

SPIRITS FALSE AND REAL.
Lecturer Says Both Exist in Field
of the Occult.

of the Occult.
". J. COlville. of New York. a lecturer
and contributor 10 occult literature, spoke
before meeting last night in Theoso-
phists' Hall, 1877 H street northwest. on
The spurious and the genuine in spirit
ism
He related a number OF cases of the
detection OF the spurious which he had
himself undertaken, and also cases which
added to his own conviction of the
verify of telepathic communication, both
carnate and incarnate," or with living
and with deceased individuals.
He said the spurious and the genuine
were often combined in the same medi-
UNI, because mediums, being human are
of varying grades of morality.
He made some reference to an editorial
in The Washington Herald of June Is.
entitled "A shock &c the scientists" ex-
pressing his view that il was TOO sweep
ing" To illustrate his remarks regarding
the competence OF Observers, he said
that two equally truth-seeking investi-
gators OF the genuineness of the hair on
man having a natural beard and wear
ing wig might come to widely different
conclusions should one pull the beard and
the other pull the wig.
The talk last night was one Of a series
OF lectures being given this week by

Chevy Chase with Capt. Butt to get a
bit of relaxation
Notwithstanding the fact that he had
not played for some time, the President
was in excellent form. He played but
nine holes part of them through the rain;
but he made the nine in Al, which, those
who ought to know say, beats Col Bogie
considerably.

Public Printer Samuel B. Donnelly gave
an interesting illustrated talk last night
at the typographical Temple, on the
Panama Canal.
He dwelt especially on the work of the
Culebra Cut and the massiveness of the
Gatun dam project and showed some
views OF their condition. From Colon,

phase Of the canal workings, from Girls
tobal through Gatun, Gorgona. the great
rock out at Bas Obispo; Empire Culebra,
Paraiso, Mirahores and Pedro Miguel, to
the PacifIc entrance OF the canal with
its lock al La BOca.
Every picture was interesting in itself
and told its own forceful story. which
Mr. Donnelly supplemented with inter-
esting narrative.
Mr.. Donnelly spent about four weeks
at the isthmus last year. and the views
shown were all taken by himself.
The lecture took the place of the usual
