A WARNING TO MANY
Seine Interesting Facts Regarding
Health Statistics.

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condition
of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of
serious illness, makes a chemical analy-
sis of the patient urine. He knows
that unless the kidneys are doing their
work properly, the other organs cannot
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics, Bright's disease which is
really an advanced form Of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in 1909, in the state of New
York alone. Therefore, it behooves us
to pay more attention to the health of
these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as a kidney
remedy is DR.. Kilmer' Swamp Root, the
great Kidney, Liver and Bladder Rem
edy.
The mild and healing influence of this
preparation is soon realized 1t stands
the highest for its remarkable record of
cures.
If you feel that your kidneys require
attention, and wish a sample bottle,
write to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bipghamton,
N. Y. Mention this paper and they
viii gladly forward it to you absolutely
free, by mail.
Swamp-Root is sold by every druggist

have foreto1d such an outcome of
their odd romance. Anyway, this
was Rogers opportunity. AS Wilfrid's S
visits became fewer, and the coast
more clear, the other took to dropping
in of an evening, ostensibly to see
John Trevecca; or he would contrive
to meet Eunice at church and prayer
meeting and walk home with her. He
even escorted her to the park, to the
theater, and to some popular concerts.
Never by word or look or action did
he hint of any knowledge of her ac-
quaintance with Wilfrid Stennis. She,
on her part, from motives of pride and
delicacy forebore to allow Stennis'
name to pass her lips; old John
Trevecca was naturally close-mouthed
about his own or his daughters af-
fairs So it was a three-cornered
game.
At no time is the average woman
supposed to be more approachable to
a determined wooer than when she
has been deserted or deems herself
forsaken by another man. In proper
ton as the wound is deep, so is the
healing process possibly hastened if
there be a sure and certain consola-
tion at hand. But Eunic9 Trevecca
was not an average woman; her heart
did not always rule her head.
When nearly a year. had passed
without so much as a line from Will
frid, Eunice deemed herself indeed
forgotten. What she had feared and
foreseen, she told herself, was come
to pass; and that woman" as she
termed Clara Passavant in her
thoughts, had probably won him away
from his early affection by her wiles
and her brilliant social attainments.
q suppose we are not in his class
any longer" she said to herself bit
terly. But she will never make him
happy; all she cares about is the
money"
She did not, nor would not, blame
Wilfrid; it was all that woman's" evil
doings. Yet she tried her best to
think of him as dead to her. and to
face the fact that henceforth she
must piece out her life alone. But
1t was a sorry attempt
Eunice had not been a woman had
she failed to see the drift of Master
Rogers coming and goings. Hers
was too sweet a nature not to feel
honored by what she supposed was
the unselfsh admiration of a passably
good man. He had apparently sue
ceeded in ingratiating himself with
her stepfather. and his companion-
ship proved a rather welcome diver
sion in those dark days. But she
knew his love-quest was hopeless, and
discouraged his more marked atten-
tions. for she told herself her heart |
was dead "a.
So when Roger Hews pressed his

the story on the best terms possible.
: Thirdly, If neither of these things
were the case, then he could find a
market for his wares with Wilfrid
Stennis. who might be expected to
pay handsomely for the suppression
of the secret, thus insuring to himself
clear title to the property.
1t was clear case of Heads l win,
tails you lose!" So far as he could
see, only one contingency could de-
feat the major plot-the daughter Of
Minna and Andrew Meleen might be
dead.
Meantime, he had no objection
whatever to letting a wrongful heir
enter into possession, The informa-
tion he possessed would have sure
and certain market value in any case.
1t took Roger Hews three or four
months to trace the migrations of
John Trevecca, covering, as they did,
period of ten or twelve years. But
run him to earth at last he did. and
found to his joy that Eunice was very
much alive. and well worth winning
for her own sake. But one other
thing was not so much to his liking
the discovery that Eunice and the
man in possession had been friends
for years, and were even then sup
posed to be engaged lovers. This
was an adverse conjunction which the
astutest mind could not have mag
ined or oreseen-indeed, it was of a
piece with all the other strange fac
tors in the case
However. Roger Hews was content
to play waiting game. He was very
careful to keep out of Wilfrid's way,
but he lost no time in making the ac-
quaintance of Eunice and her STEP
father, and at the time of Wilfrid's
departure for Europe Roger had been
for some months on terms of easy
acquaintance with both of them. He
attended the same church as Eunice,
he joined the ward club and the lodge
to which Trevecca belonged, and
among the decent denizens of Mac
dougal street passed as a writer, a
character which was not belied by
appearances, owing to his quiet,
steady demeanor and his careful
acting and dressing of the part.
Nor did it take Hews long to dis
cover that there was a little rift in
the lutte between Eunice and Wilfrid.
This exactly suited his book Per-
haps a less observant person could

AS a country Germany has fewel
rats than any other in the world. This
is due to the interest taken by the
government in their destruction. If a
boy applies to the mayor of his town
he is furnished with traps and paid
half a cent for every skin he brings
In large towns there are 100 boys at
work all the time. The cost of traps
and bait makes each skin cost the
government about a penny, but as
every rat destroys five dollars worth a
year. this makes a tremendous saving.
The mice, though destructive, are
not looked after by the government.

of a penny is paid for every three
