What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH

Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of Sc
rious illness, makes a chemical analysis
of the patients urine. He knows that I'M
less 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. Therefore, it is particularly
necessary to pay more attention to the
health of these important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as kidney remedy is
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root.
The mild and healing influence of this
preparation, in most cases, is soon real
ICED, according TO sworn statements and
verified testimony of those who have used
the remedy.
When your kidneys require attention,
get Swamp-Root at once from any phar-
macy, 1t is sold by every druggist in bot
ties of two sizes-50c and Sl.O0.
However, IL you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer s. Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Ady.

What His "story" Would Be.

A certain well-known dignitary or
the church, who is noted for his caus-
tic wit. early earned his reputation for
saying sharp things.
One of the guests at an undergradu-
ates' party, years ago in Oxford, sang
a song very much out of tune. Then
the future bishop was called upon.
81 haven't a note in my voice" said
he.
Well. if you can't sing. you must
make a speech or tell a story" de-
clared the host.

AMERICANS GROW

Statements as to 0nerouS
Taxation and CONSUMPTION.

1.-THE attempt to check emigration
from the United States to our prairie
provinces by publishing alarming state
that are being paid here--S500 on

ness might influence men and women
from venturing north to Canada, Is real

however, dominion and provincial, are

been flowing o s for the past decade.
We have thought to assist in this
work, and to do so purpose giving,
from time to time, actual experiences
OF Americans who have come to
Saskatchewan during late years. We
give the statements of two farmers In
this issue as follows;-
