A WARNING TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts. Regarding
Health Statistics

Few people realize TO what extent
their health depends upon the con-
dition of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases
of serious illness, makes a chemical
analysis Of the patients urine. lie
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 re-
suits are sure to follow. According
to health statistics, Brights disease
which is really an advanced form OF
kidney trouble, caused nearly ten
thousand deaths in 1910. in the
state of New York alone. There
fore. it behooves US to pay more at
tention to the health Of these most
important organs.
An ideal compound that has had
remarkable success as a kidney
remedy Is DR.. Kilmers Swamp-Root
the great kidney, liver and bladder
remedy.
The mild and healing influence OF
this preparation is soon realized. 1t
stands the highest for its remarka-
BILE record of cures.
If you feel that your kidneys re-
quire attention, and wish a sample
bottle, write to DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton. n. Y. Mention this pa
per and they viii gladly forward it
to you absolutely free, by mail.
Swamp-Root is sold by every
druggists in bottles of two sies-50c
and 81.

ELECTED loud applause, and the pyr-

reason to be proud Of these schools,

the plan and lend their support to
make such an institution a success.
A committee was appointed to select
suitable location and to make ar
rangements for the opening OF the
school this season. The committee
decided upon Lake Terra Alta at
Terra .Alta,aW. Va, as the most suit
able location.
The lake lies one mile east of the
town of Terra Alta on the main line
Of the baltimore and Ohio railroad.
1t is $500 feet above sea level and
is supplied with water from large
springs. The lake offers splendid
opportunity for fishing, boating and
bathing while the nearby mountains
make mountain climbing and hikes
a special feature The committee ex=
poets to divide the camp season into
three classes.
From July Is to August 1 the time
will be devoted to the training school
period in which any young man who
cares to enroll for special training
may do so by paying the tuition fee.
From August 1 to is the camp will
be open to boys between the ages of
Is and 10 years. During this time
trained leaders in boys work will
be at the camp and conduct a sys-
tematic course in physical training.
From August is to October i the.

Thousands of housewives are learning

Among the many common ailments caus-
ed by thoughtless habits of living are head
ache, istlessness, indigestion, iritability,
sleeplessness, and other disagreeable syn1p-
toms of disturb ed nerves, digestion and circr-
lation, often due to tea and coffee drinking.
If interested in Health and the good
things that naturally 60 with it, why not try a

For seventeen years Postum has proven
a good friend to former tea and coffee drink
ers who felt something was wrong, but didn't
know the cause.

AN OLD TIMER
Has Had Experience.

"A woman who has used Postum
since 1t came upon the market knows
from experience the wisdom OF using
Postum in place of tea or coffee If
one values health and a clear brain.
She says:
''At the time Postum was first put
on the market q was suffering from
nervous dyspepsia, and my physician
had repeatedly told me not to use tea
or flee. Finally I decided to take
his advice and try Postum. got a
package and had 1t carefully pre-
pared, finding 1t delicious to the taste.
SO continued ITS use and very soon
its beneficial effects convinced me of
It's value, for get well Of my ner-
vousness and dyspepsia.
My husband had been drinking
coffee all his life until 1t had affected
his nerves terribly, and I persuade2
ham to shift to Postum. 1t was easy
to get him to make the change, for
Postum is so delicious. It certainly
worked wonders for him.
I'VE soon learned that Postum does
not exhlarate or depress and does not
stimulate but steadily and honestly
strengthens the nerves and the stom-
ach..
TO make a long story short. our
entire family, continued to use Postum
with satisfying results as shown in our
fine condition of health"
Better health follows the use OF
Postum in place of tea and coffee,
sometimes in very marked manner.
There's q Reason"
Look in packages for the famous
little book, The Road to Wellville."
