KIDNEY TROUBLE
FROM OVERWORK

I am q blacksmith by trade and
would like to say word to all who
have to work hard and suffer with
their kidneys. I suffered for about ten
years and was treated by a Waynes-
boro, Va, doctor. He said that had
kidney trouble in its worst form and
that he had done all he could for me.
l read about DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root
and ~ could hardly do a days work.
was willing to try anything that would
do me any good. After taking Swamp
Root q few days felt SO much better
that continued until l felt that was
cured and was altogether new man.
That was eight years ago and II ever
feel the least pain about my kidneys
just take few doses of Swamp-Root
and in a few days ! am all right. /
feel today that I am well man and
would say to all who suffer with their
kidneys. take DR.. kilmer's Swamp
Root and in few days am all right.
feel today that am well man and
would say to all who suffer with their
kidneys, take DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, for It has done more for mesthan
all hte doctors, and saved Doctors
bills.
years ago my son was sick in bed and
was taking medicine from doctors and
got worse all the time. l went in the
night and got a fifty-cent bottle of
Swamp-Root and told hi INTO lay aside
all the doctors medicines and take
Swamp-Root. He took six bottles and
am glad to say that he is we'll today
and has not had any trouble with his
kidneys since. 1t was Swamp-Root
that cured him. My son now thinks
that there is no medicine that a doctor
can give that can compare with DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root.
Very truly yours.

and fidelity to any foreign prince, pOtentate,
state or sovereignty. and particularly to
william, emperor Of Germany; or
"Nicolai, emperor Of Russia; or
Franz Joseph. emperor of Austria; or
George, king Of England:
of whom have heretofore been subject, and
that will support and defend the constitution
and laws Of the United States Of America against
all enemies, foreign and domestic, and that will
bear the true faith and allegiance to the same, so
help me God"
Therefore
No Deutschland ueber alles!'
No "Rosija prezdie wsiewo;"
No "Oestereich ueber alles;' --
No England above all
But ..
United States above all!'
Nativeborn Americans as we'll as those of for
eign blood should read these patriotic words
Our allegiance is not to any foreign state.
Our loyalty is to the United States.
In these days at Washington the problems of
sympathy for one or another Of the great powers
at war are passing from their first form, in which
they were mere matters of sentiment. They are
coming down to the iron of actual facts.
We can no longer think luxuriously of what
we should do or could do in behalf of one or an
other combatant should certain conditions or op-
portunities arise. We have now to think of what
VIC must do in our own behalf in the face OF con-
ditions which threaten our own welfare.
Some say that Germany is trying to use US
against England others that England is trying
to use us against Germany. In either case or in
both cases the one safe rule for all of us to fol-
low is that which the Polish Courier has put thus
into TRANSLATED" English
Omitted States above all!
This must be the motto for us ALL native born
or foreign born.
Let us all, in this time of memories of Lincoln
and Washington take anew the oath of allegiance
to the United States of America.

HUDSON PALISADES.
4 Brother Of the Stars Celebrates
Beauties Less Remote.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir:
Without the grandeur of the Hudson
Highlands. the Palisades hold the river
travellers eye. Despite their clifflike
rise from the Hudson's edge these mas
sire embellishments are really q hill
range, extending from the vicinity of
Haverstraw to Weehawken. a distance
OF about thirty miles. But although
upon the rivers side these Palisades
appear for the most part like precipices,
on The western side they slope away
gradually from their submits. Their
height varies from 200 to somewhat
more than 500 feet. the average eleya-
ton being about 800 feet. OF course the
Palisades are not mountainlike even at
their highest point. hut nevertheless
there Is something about them far more
impressive and lofty than the appear
ance of the usual range OF hills.
Closer inspection of these picture
esaue cliffs will discover that they We're
formed originally OF sandstone and
shale. between which a thick layer -
molten trap rock intruded. This in
truding layer Of trap rock cooled in a
coluIhnar position, so that as the outer
softer sandstone and shale. owing to
erosion and frost. are worn slowly away,
this inner, harder layer is exposed, hav-
ing a perpendicular, precipitous appear
ance. AS we can see. this exposed
layer OF igneous rock Is miles in lengtl.
and II is also of unusual thickness. its
width varying from SEQ to more than
500 feet. As time goes on, more and
more OF the sandstone and shale will
disappear from the walls of the pali-
sades and fall to their base as debris
or what is known as talus. OF course
there are lready vast accommodations of
such talus at the bottom of the cliffs.

The official literature of Kultur has

nude as the proposal contained in an
article in a Dresden newspaper signed
by Dr. SCHERIGHotER. n member of

dustries.
This candid gentleman informs his
fellow c%ountrymen that on no ac-
count must Germany accept peace
terms which would make Belgium an
obstacle tn the strengthening of our
national power and economic prog.
ress." With unudorned franknesS he
points III the value of the coal fields
and ore districts now occupied ny the
kniser's troops. "Germany." he con.
tinues, must take care Ia remain fo-
all future time in possession of the
coal fields in question"

upon DIR. SCHERIGHorER's proposition
Is that n very large percentage of the
involuntary inmates of the peniten-

eastern civilized world. have been
locked up there because they ven.
