Retired Georgia Planters
Advice to Kidney Sufferers

Regarding the wonderful curative
merits of your Swamp-Root, can
not say too much. After suffering
severely for three years or more with
severe pains caused by weak kidneys,
I was finally induced to try Swamp
Root through a testimonial I read
in one of the newspapers. I was in
such condition that I was Obliged
to arise from my bed six or eight
times every night. I purchased a
fifty-cent bottle and before it was
used felt so much relief that I pur-
chased ene-dollar bottle and by the
time this was taken the old pains
had left my back and I could sleep
the whole night through. I am
retired planter, 20 years of age, and
owing to DR.. Kilmer' Swamp-Root
am in the best of health and feel
like boy. I am always glad to
recommend Swamp-Root to those
who are in need of it. #

good blood, they have good courage,

are invalided, however, because their.

right to withstand the awful hard
ships of this winter campaign.

your food your blood becomes thin

of the larger cities west of the
Rockies when the Coast league, one
of the larger minor league organiza-

were the cities where Hot Stove

came into their own.
Here's the way they lined up:
Oakland at San Francisco; Portland
at Los Angeles; Vernon at Salt Lake.
The usual ceremonies, including
brass bands, parades and speeches,
preceded the games. And then the
fans and fanettes settled down, so
far as the Pacific coast is concerned,
to eight months of baseball.

plants already procured will be soon
exhausted when the public begins to
enter fully into the spirit Of the move
ment
These plants will be turned over to
the public at exactly what they have

ing the plants has not been to make
cent Of profit from them, but simply to
purchase in such large quantities that
price could be had that would be
within the reach Of every one.

tically every type that is successfully
grown in Portland, ranging from the
ever popular Caroline Testout over a
list of several hundred that will prove
