Troubles.

Few people realize to- what extent their

kidneys.

unless the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
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 tenthousand deaths in 1913,
in the State OF New York alone. There
fore, il behooves us 10 pay more atten-
ton TO the health of these most important
organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarked success as kidney remedy is
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root. the great Kid
ney, Liver and Bladder Remedy.
The mild and healing influence OF this
preparation, in most cases, is soon re-
allied, according 10 sworn statements and
verified testimony Of those who have used
the remedy.
If you feel that your kidneys require
attention and wish sample bottle, write

ments in that city. The President heard
them patiently and answered them cour-
teously, but Boston negro by the name

causing the President TO end the inter-
view forthwith He rebuked the insolent
negro and told the delegation if il ever
returned TO bring another spokesman, as
he would not admit Trotter again.
These smart northern negroes are
doing the colored people a great deal
more harm than good. Their self-conceit
and lack of courtesy usually make them
so offensive that men Of standing will not
tolerate them, and those who trust in them
come 10 grief. The natural politeness Of
the colored people OF the South will be
far more effective in bringing reforms than
the glibnesS and education" OF these

THAT the present dreadful war in Eu-
rope is TO continue for a long time is in
dictated by the action OF the British gov
eminent. On Tuesday David Lloyd
George, chancellor OF The exchequer,
presented in the House Of Commons an
estimate that one year OF war would cost
Great Britain the enormous sum OF s, 5OO,-
0,000, and he was authorized TO at once
raise loan OF 81, 75O, 600, coo with which
TO meet expenses. Besides, vast sums
are to be raised IN other ways: the in
come tax is to be doubled, 8 cents pound
extra is TO be levied on tea and an addi-
tional tax OF one cent on each half pint Of
beer. II was stated that 1000 900 men
are already serving in the British armies,
and another million are in the course OF
enlistment
The cost OF this fearful war in men and
money is Staggering-and the loss is ao-
solute. Moreover, there is no telling
when or how il will end.
