Government Expert Gives Some Prao-
tical Advice to Amateurs.
To amateurs wishing to do their own
blasting, here is some good advice from
n government expert:
While there is an element Of danger
in their use, any one who is ordinarily
careful can safely handle the low grade
powders used in stump blasting.
All powders should be used when
fresh.
Never use or try to use powder that
has been on hand for Il considerable
time or that shows by the wrappers
that it hns been subjected to varying
degrees Of heat.
Powder that has been frozen should
not be thawed unless for immediate
use.
Large amounts Of explosives should
not be purchased unless adequate
means OF storing them are provided
Stunps can be blasted most ecouomt.
cally when the soil is flied with mois-
ture, as the water fills the air spaces
and the stumps leave the earth more
easily Stumps in sandy soil should
never be blasted when the soil is dry.
Al stumps, except those having
taproot are blasted By placing the ex-

Proven SWamp-Root
Aids Weak Kidneys.

The symptoms of kidney and blad-
der troubles are often very distress
ing and leave the system in run
down condition. The kidneys seem
to suffer most, as almost every vic
tim complains OF lame back and uri-
nary troubles which should not be
neglected as these danger signals Of
ten lead to dangerous kidney
troubles.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root which
soon heals and strengthens the kid
neys is a splendid kidney, liver and
bladder remedy, and, being an herbal
compound, has gentle healing effect
on the kidneys, which is almost inn
mediately noticed in most cases by
those who use it.
A trial viii convince anyone who
may be in need of it. Better get a
bottle from your nearest drug store,
and stare treatment at once
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
