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 al cases Of
serious illness, makes a chemical analy-
sis 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 results are
sure to follow. According to health sta
tistics, Bright's Disease, which is really
an advanced form of kidney trouble.
.aused nearly ten thousand deaths in one
year, in the State of New York alone
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 a kidney remedy
Is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
The mild and healing influence of thi,
preparation, in most cases, is soon real
lied, according to sworn statements and
verified testimony of those who have used
the remedy.
Whenzyour kidneys require attention,
get Swap Root at once from any phar-
macy. 1t is sold by every druggist in
bottles of two sizes-50c and Sl.O0.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
ample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper. Adv.

Tabloid Aeroplanes.

that the smaller the aeroplane and the

SO the British airmen favor an unusu-

1t was with some misgivings that
Kemp left Alan at the coast. Alan was
still very weak. Kemp stood, more in
congruous than ever. against the rail
of the little coaster bound for Perna M
buco and eyed Alan, whom he had
made comfortable In a camp bed on
the deck.
1T seems to me. Mr.. Wayne" he
said. that there mought be business
waftin' for me at Pernambuco thet
dom know nothin' about. I've got a
hunch I'd best go along of you and
see."
Alan smiled. "I know what your
hunch is, Kemp, and it's a wrong one.
I'm all right. Weak, but I'll make it,
Don't worry"
Kemp was standing In angles. His
hands were thrust in his trousers pock-
cts, but even so his elbows were
crooked. One foot was raised on
rail. He was coatless ds usual. His
unbuttoned vest stuck out behind. His
Stetson hat was pulled well down over
his eyes. His eyes had taken on the
far-away and slightly luminous look
that always came into them when he
was about to speak from the heart
"Mr. Wayne" he said, 1--WE tol' you
some things about Lieber an you've
seen some more. You know how he
stands. Lieber's livin' in hell, like a
rich greaser in the Bible with his
tongue stuck out beggin' for one drop
of water, only Lieber hain't got his
tongue stuch out-he's bitIn' it."
Kemp paused and Alan nodded.
"T was thinkin'," Kemp continued,
"thet perhaps you'n Mr.. Lansing. with

yo' folks he'pin', mought chuck him
that drop o. water when you got back
to heaven, meanin' Moo Yawk." Kemp
brought his eyes slowly around and
rested them on Alan.
"Kemp," said Alan. don't you wor-
ry. If J. Y. Wayne 4 Co. haven't gone
to smash or the world otherwise come
to an end, you can be sure Lieber will
get his water in a full bucket"
Kemp nodded and. with "S'long
and good luck" disappeared down the
gangway.
At Pernambuco Alan found an ac-
emulation of mail awaiting him and
a liner bound for home. The liner was
too big to get into the little harbor be-
hind the reef She rode the swell a
mile out from shore.
Alan lost no time In making his
transfer. From the tender he was
winched up to the deck in a passenger
| basket. AS he left the wicker coop
he smiled at himself in disgust. Ten
| Percent Wayne had often jumped for
gangway from the top of n flying
sea never before had he gone on board
as cargo. But the smile suddenly left
his face. He reeled and put out one
hand toward rail. Somebody caught
his arm and led him to n long chair.
He sank into il and shivered.

As soon as she saw he was not going
to faint she left him. to come back
presently with the doctor and room
