The Secret of Success
Genuine Merit Required to Win the
Peoples Confidence.

Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products that
are extensively advertised, all at once
drop out of sight and are soon forgot
ten? The reason is plan--the article
did not fulfill the promises of the man
ufacturer. This applies more particu-
larly to medicine. a medicinal prap-
aration that has real curative value al
most sells itself, as like an endless
chain system the remedy is recon-
mended by those who are in need Of 1t.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. kilmer's SWamp-RoOt, a
preparation have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend. for
in almost every case it shows excellent
results as many of my customers teS-
tify. No other kidney remedy that |
know of has so large a sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who
have used the preparation. the success
of DR.. kilmer's Swamp-ROOt is due to
the fact that it fulfils almost every
wish in overcoming kidney, liver and
bladder diseases, cOrrects urinary trOu-
hes and neutraliZeS the uric acid which
causes rheumatism.

STORM

One of the queerest freaks per-
formed by the wind and rain storm
of Monday afternoon was the ripping
off OF tin roof from house ON North
| Mulberry street and carrying it over
to the cross arms of the electric light
pole in front of the house where it
was deposited.
Another curious thing was the strip
ping off of the east branches of three
trees on North Jefferson street, while
those on the west remained unharmed.
A chimney on the home of Mr.. H. c.
Devin, North Main street, was blown
over with such violence that it pene.
trated through the roof into the bill.
lard room below, doing much damage
to billiard table therein.
The awning at Comstock's grocery
was blown through a heavy plate
glass window. smashing it to frag-
ments.
The roof of the barn on the prop.
erty of Mr.. Edward Mccormick, North
Mulberry street was torn off com.
pletely.
From the B. and o. station down,
West High street was strewn with
limbs and branches yesterday, while
on East Burgess street, traffic was
held up for over an hour on account
of the same condition.
A COW barn, located west of the city,
on property owned by Mr., S, H. Israel,
was blown over, entailing damages
amounting TO $50. Fortunately there
were no COWS in the structure at the
time.
During the electrical storm con.
siderable damage was done to ma
chinery at the electric power plant and
it was necessary TO shut off all cur
rent until Monday evening at o'clock
Current for business houses and do
mestic use was supplied at that time

DEATH
OF SChWiIk Not Due To As.
sault By The Three Bandits

Columbus, o., June 23-Death of
Henry Shwilk, So, which occurred
early yesterday morning at Grant Hos.
pital, was due to malignant obstruc.
tion of the bowels and was not the
result of the beating received at the
hands of bandits when he and his
brother, Frederick, were attacked at
their farm near Taylor's Station two
weeks ago.
This was the finding of an autopsy
conducted yesterday by Coroner Ben
kent, DR.. C. d. Dennis and DR.. Robert
Drury. An immediate autopsy was
ordered by County Prosecutor Turner
when he heard of Schwilks death. DR.
j. F. Baldwin had held before the post
mortem examination that death was
due to cancer of the bowels. Shwilk
was operated on for this ailment.

A MISTAKEN idea

There are some people who still resort
to drugged pills or alcoholic syrups to
overcome colds, nervousness or general
debility, and who know that the pure,
unaduiterated nourishment in Scott s
Emulsion is eminently better but refrain
from taking it because 'they fear it may
lead to excessive fat or obesity.
This is a mistaken idea, because Scott s
Emulsion first strengthens the body before
making flesh. Its blood-forming proper
ties aid nature TO throw off sickness by
building health from its very source, and
flesh is formed only by its continued pse.
Avoid alcoholic substitutes for SCOTS.

Then Susanna comes home. She

begins to cry, because she is to have
company in the evening. and what
will the company think of her? She
imagines them sitting in the parlor
pale. holding their noses and almost
asphyxiated. She throws up all the
windows and starts the electric fans
to going. Then when her papa
comes homes he is madden than any
