WHAT THE DOCTOR KNOWS.
Kidneys Must Be Right To Insure
 Health.

Few people realize to what ex- tent their health depends upon the condition of the kidneys.
 The physician in nearly all cases of serious illness, makes a chemical analysis of the patients urine. He knows that 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 re- suits are sure to follow. According Co health statistics, Brights disease, which is really an advanced form of kidney trouble. caused nearly ten thousand deaths in one year, in the state of New York alone. There fore, 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 a kid ney remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
 The mild and healing influence of this preparation, in most cases. is soon realized, according to sworn statements and verified testimony of those who have used the remedy.
 When your kidneys require at tention, get Swamp-Root at once from any pharmacy. It is sold by every druggist in bottles of two sizes-50c. and Si00.
 However, if you wish to first test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer X Co.,, Bing- hamton, N Y, for a sample bottle When writing be sure to mention The Mena Weekly Star. Adv

Cut Your Store Bill
 Down One Half

Tens of thousands of farmers as we'll as town and city folks cut down their store bills one-half last year and saved money in spite of generally short crops and re- duced wages.
 Absolutely millions of dollars were saved and countless families lived better than ever before in the face of the cotton crisis and general business depression.
 How were these burdensome store bills cut down? By the real money-saving power of good home gardens, rightly planted and kept planted and tended through the season.
 Hastings 1916 Seed Catalogue tells how to cut store bills down; tells about gar den and farm seeds of kinds and a qual- fly that cannot be bought from your mer- chant or druggist.

 Texas to Raise Price 5c Dozen.

sherman, Tex. May i.-Gentlemen fowl are doomed to fall in punches May i5, before the ruthless axe of commerce, in order that local poul- try farmers may obtain higher prices for their eggs. Plans for Swat the Rooster day are going forward; merrily for all but the roosters. Scores of farmers plan to annihilate all but a corporars guard of chandeliers, saving the few for the sake of feathered posterity.
 If most of the roosters are killed local dealers will pay five cents more a dozen for eggs this summer.

WILLIS WINDERLY
 GIVES THE DETAILS
The Money Repleyined by the First National Bank of Heavener Was Held by Him in Transaction to
 Furnish Grady Gardens Bond.

In the court news last week The
 Star published story of the re- Iplevin by NJ. s. Singleton, acting for the First National Bank of Heaven
 CT, of $500 in cash held by Willis IWimberly, well-to-do and promi- |nent citizen of Egger. The report las given followed strictly the trans
 actions as shown by court records, land, unexplained, left Mr. Wimberly
 in a somewhat peculiar position. Since that time The Star has sought Ian interview with Mr Wimberly, and when he was in town Thursday
 he related the circumstances of the affair as follows
 Mrs. Josie Garden. mother of Grady Garden, held in jail at po-
 teau, Ok, under charge of having had a part in the robbery of the First National Bank at Heavener,
 was seeking to secure her sons re- lease on bond, the amount required being S5000 She came to Mr Vim l5erly and entered into negotiations with him to furnish S2000 of the
 sum, and finally. to get him to do so, gave mortgage of 5000 on Montgomery county lands, and 1 through another son, B. V. Garden
 $500 in cash, the understanding be- ing that Mir. Wimberly should on lrequest, deposit 5000 to Mrs. Car dens account at the Farmers and Merchants bank here. This sum, it was understood, was to be used by
 Mrs. Garden to secure James Hud- dleston of Poteau for the bond of S5000, which he was to make to ob- tain Grady's release.
 It was the further understanding that on Grady's appearance for trial, under the terms of the bond. Mr. Wimberly was to release the mort
 gage and return the $500 cash.
 Mir Wimberly says that, under the circumstances he not having been called upon to make the deposit as lagreed, he did not feel that he had any claim on the money in question
 and when the officers from Poteau presented their claim he was per fectly willing to turn it over to them, and did so, leaving it to Mrs.
 Garden, or others. to contest for the ownership, if they so desired.
