Spot is the only living creature around
Silverman cafe at 14l West Twenty
seventh street that Is in any condi-

too sore to smile.
Some time after midnight the bark
ing OF Spot awakened the Silverman
family in their rooms above the ga
loon. Silverman thereupon arose, got
trunk strap and walloped poor old
Spot into silence and went back to
bed.
When Silverman went behind the
bar about $3.50 he found that burglars
who doubtless had started Spots un
precedented barking had ripped open
the cash register and taken $50 and a
ring from ii, and then had attacked
the safe and got away with one dia'

500 each, SIS watch, lavalliere

four Russian gold pieces worth about

MAKE HAY OF SWEET CLOVER
II Plant is Cut In Season II Is Relished
by Young Mules and Horses
Likes Any Soil.

A weed has been defined as a plant
out of place. In a country where
sweet clover grows so abundantly II
should be made use Of for some pur-
pose rather than to make the road
side, the fence rows and ditch banks
so unsightly. If cut in season it can
be made into hay which is far better
than a snow bank for all kinds OF
stock, and for young horses and
mules it is relished. Sheep and cattle
will eat hay made from 1t and rather
enjoy the variety in the ration which
1t supplies.
Sweet clover is very cospomopitan
plant, adapting itself to all kinds Of
soil and conditions. 1t ~ q great nj
trogen gatherer, growing on poor
soil, providing there is enough lime
in the soil to meet its needs. Try
making the sweet clover into hay
this coming season, ana see if it can
not thus be turned into some account.

HAVE YOU CHRONIC
KIDNEY TROUBLE?
At Last Relief Is in Sight for
This Painful and Dangerous
Malady

One Of the most serious of all human ills
and the one which is fraught with the
most serious consequences is kidney trou-
Bile OF any kind, particularly chronic in
fammation of the kidneys Kidney troa-
BILE may in the majority of instances be
directly traced to faulty elimination of
poisonous matter in the bowels and kid
neys because of the clogged conditions.
These Two organs are designed to rid the
system of all that cannot be properly used
to nourish and strengthen the body. In
fact, they are part of the great human
sewer system built to carry off effete ma
terial; when they become clogged from
constipation or other causes the danger
signal is out and unless immediate atten-
ton is paid TO 1t and the cause removed
serious results will follow
DR., Kings Royal Germetuer does not
act as cathartic nor will ii of itself act
on the bowels but by its splendid tonic
qualities it builds up an impaired and dis
eased system and in that way adds tone
to the bowels so that they may properly
perform their functions and restore the
kidneys to normal health,
Should immediate action as a laxative
be desired use Germetuer Pills in COM
junction with DIR. Kings Royal Germe-
tuer. The most obstinate case of constipa-
ton and kidney trouble will respond to
this treatment. Read what Mr.. r. B.
Riddick, Coffeville, Miss, says:
II had been afflicted for long time
with a severe Inflammation of the kidneys
and bladder. The pains suffered were in
tense, and my urine was very bloody. The
general health had given way, and my
nervous system was so shattered / could
hardly sleep. DR.. Kings Royal Germetuer
was recommended to me. l tried 1t, and
less than half a dozen bottles cured me
completely. / am SO years old, and for
more than a year-ever since took Ger
metuer-I have enjoyed as good health as
ever in my life. 1 give all the praise to
Germetuer, for am sure 1t saved my life.

To Identify the CORPSE,

In the blanks which life insurance
companies provide their medical exam
liners for use in recording the data Of

For the Ironinp Board,

Pad the ironing board with thick
quilt or old blanket, then lay the
board on the table and cut piece of
heavy muslin so it will fit the board
loosely. Seam 1t up, leaving the slip
open at each end. Make two of these
slips and change them frequently,
says Mothers Magazine. Thus the
ironing board is always clean, and the
padding will not have to be changed
for months.
