A WARNING TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts Regarding
Health Statistics.

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condi-
ton of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases OF
serious illness, makes chemical an
alysis of the patients urine. He
knows that unless the kidneys are
ding 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 1910, 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 kidney
remedy is DR.. Kilmer's 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 it's remarkable
record of cures.
If you feel that your kidneys re-
quire attention, and wish a sample
bottle, write to Dr. Kilmer and Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y. Mention this pa
per and they will gladly forward it to
you absolutely free, by mail.
Swamp-Root is sold by every drug

THIS IS MY 71st BIRTHDAY.
Sir Squire Bancroft.

u
Sir Squire Bancroft, who was until
his retirement some years ago, one of
the foremost actor managers of the
English stage, was born in London,
May IA, 1S41. The premature death
of his father put an end to his
dreams of college education and at
an early age he was obliged to seek
his own livelihood. His inclination
led him to the stage, and he got his
first engagement in Birmingham in
1861. He continued in the provinces
for several years, and won much ap-
plause as an interpreter of Shakes
peare. In 1865 an engagement was
offered to him in London by Miss
Marie Wilton, the noted actress who
later was to become Lady Bancroft.
Together. the Bancrofts appeared
with much success for many seasons,
first at the Prince of Wales Theater
and later at the Haymarket Theater,
both of which were under their man
agement. Sir Squire Bancroft was
the second English actor to be hon.
ored with knighthood.

The Ninth District.

Enough La Toilette sentiment has
been uncovered in the Ninth congress
sional district the past few days to
allow of the sending of two delegates
to the Chicago convention instructed
for the Wisconsin senator.
La Toilette men will go into the
Thief River convention with sixty
pledged votes. There are enough men
in the Roosevelt column of eighty-six
who equally favor La Toilette and
Roosevelt to swing the convention to
the former if they wish to do so. Taft
is absolutely out of the running and
the eight votes from Red Lake coun-
ty will not hold the balance of power
in the convention as was expected.
Sentiment of the people of the
Ninth district is overwhelmingly
progressive. In the Beltrami county
convention, the La Toilette forces
were barely outnumbered. In the
Polk county convention, the result
was the same, yet in each case, the
delegates from these counties are be-
ing counted for Roosevelt. An even
split in these two delegations would
mean the instruction of the Chicago
delegates for La Toilette.
Contrary to expectations, few of
the delegations to Thief River go in.
structed although it is understood
that they will vote progressive. The
fight in the convention is expected to
be over the delegates to Chicago and
on the basis of La Toilette or Roose-
welt votes. The delegations will prob
ably vote as units so that Roosevelt
will be choice. -~.-- .-,.
