Superstition Just Plain Fear.

But superstition is plain fear with. out any cause, and Is utterly demoraliz- ing. If man is afraid to overeat it makes him healthy; if he Is afraid of ghosts 1t makes him fool If he is afraid to lie or do a mean act it pro duces growth and makes him more manly; If he Is afraid to be happy or to leave the house in the morning starting off with his left foot instead of his right 1t stunts his manhood and makes him childish.

DOCTORS ADVISED OPERATION DECIDED TO TRY GREAT
 KIDNEY REMEDY

want to tell you in few words what your Swamp-Root did for me believing that my testimony may do some other suffering person a great deal of good.
 About six years ago I was danger ously i'll; consulted three doctors, all of whom said I had kidney trouble. One of the doctors analysed my urine and reported that I had gravel, and further said that in order to regain my health and life an operation would be necessary. I did not want to be operated on, as I was afraid that would not recover. Someone told me of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root and said it was a reliable medicine for kidney trouble, so I decided to try it, and went to MT. Rose, the druggist at 303 Central avenue, Minneapolis, and bought a bottle, took it, noticed re- suits, and continued taking it until was entirely cured.
 Having been free from any kidney trouble for over six years, I consider that I am absolut ely cured, and know that Swamp-Root has the credit.
 I never fail to tell my friends about your remedy, as I believe it is the best of it's kind. Your U & O Ointment is also very good. We are never without a jar in our house.
 Yours very truly,
 MRS. MARGARET E. ANDERSON,
 Minneapolis, Minn. State of Minnesota, County of Henne-
 pin-ss.

ORIGINALITY IN BEDROOM.
Suggestions For Bright Rooms and
Those Without Sunlight.

Every woman should have a pretty
bedroom and should see that 1t Is not
the duplicate of many others, but has
some touch OF originality about it's col
OF schemes and decorations that set II
apart as Individual to herself.
For a room which receives all the
sunshine never choose a shiny paper,
but a dull finished one. A gray bed
room may sound eolorless at drst
hearing. but M of the prettiest rooms
was carried out IN this neutral shade.
First Of all. the walls were tinted a
delicate pale gray with a warm tinge
In It, and the ceiling, which was
brought down to the picture molding,
was white. A paneled effect was CIV
IN on the wall by means OF steneiling
In soft shades of lilac and green with
soft browns, thus taking away any
suggestion of monofony.
Gray enameIed furniture further car
fied out the scheme, and the cushions,
bedspread, curtains and table covers
were all of gray linen stenciIed in the
same hues as the walls. while the rugs
that covered the stained gray hoor
were gray green in color. The mirror
that hung on the wall furnished a note
Of contrast IN Its framework OF dull
gold. and the pictures on the walls
completed the harmony in their set
ting OF gray stained wood and white
enamel.
Another excellent scheme for a girls
bedroom may pc carried out IN the fol-
lowing way:
Walls OF soft cream color with q
stencil design Ia soft pInky mauye
shades.
HangingH OF ashes Of roses. linen
III. furniture -~.savlw stained
a soft brownish purple.
Bands OF cream colored linen with
the stenciied designs may be appilqued
on TO ali the h~angings OF the
| such as the curtains and cushion COW
ers, and the rugs IN the door may be
OF soft oriental eolors.
