Peculiar After Effects
of Grip This Year
Leaves Kidneys in Weakened Condition

Doctors in all parts of the country
have been kept busy with the epidemic
of grip which has visited so many homes.
The symptoms of grip this year are very
distressing and leave the system in
run down condition, particularly the
kidneys, which seem to suffer most, as
every victim complains of lame back
and urinary troubles which should not
be neglected, as these danger signals
often lead to more serious sickness,
such as dreaded Bright s Disease. Local
druggists report large sale on Or.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, which so mIy
people say soon heals and strength ms
the kidneys after an attack Of grip.
Swamp-Root is great kidney, liver and
bladder remedy, and being an herbel
compound, has a gentle healing effect
on the kidneys, which is almost imme-
diately noticed by those who try it.
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghampton, N. Y,
offer to send a sample bottle of Swamp
Root free by mail, to every sufferer W.
requests 1t. A trial will convince any
one who may be in need of it. Regular

NEED OF CARPETS FOR ROADS
English ExperS Recommends Use of
an elastic Skin" on the
Highways.

A lecture was recently delivered by
a member Of the board before the
Royal Institute of London on THE
Road-Past, Present and Future" ac-
cording to Consular and Trade Re
ports The lecturer said the problem
was to find the best mode by which a
road should be constructed so that its
surface would not be broken by traf-
fc, so that the transit might be easier
for both passengers and goods, a road
which would form neither puddle
holes nor exude mud from vehicles
and create no dust when the weather
was dry.
One thing was universally recog-
nized, that the road of the future
should be a truly bound road in which,
whatever kind of stone was used, the
stone should be held together so that
it would form a crust The lecturer
suggested that what he called car
pet or an elastic skin should be adopt
ed as the covering.
The carpet, he1 thought, should be
made of bituIninous material mixed
with sand and placed on the roads in
various thicknesses, according to the
nature of the traffic. 1t should go on
in liquid form, solidifying quickly, but
always remaining resilient and COM
pressible, and so migrating with the
crust of the surface below.
The advantage of such carpet, it
was said, would be to permanently
protect the crust, and, just as carpet
on the floor softens the step, so would
this carpet for the roads silence the
noise and reduce the shock of rolling
vehicles. 1t was admitted that the or
iginal cost of road so laid would be
more than that of mud bound road,
bat spreading the cost over a. series
of years it would probably not be so
great, since the crust of the road it
self would not have to be renewed.

Sadly DisiIlusioned,

A certain young man of tender heart
has lost his faith in mankind Some
years ago he did favor for friend,

hundred years before. The young man
treasured this pipe, which was to him
a masterpiece. And whenever the blue
smoke curled upward from its bowl
his heart swelled with the thought
of the generosity and goodness of the
human race, for he had been told
when the pipe was handed to him that
a. pawnbroker would advance three
dollars on it, thus proving it to be
worth at least ten-spot Doing IA
