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
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,
caused 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 DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
The mild and healing influence of this
preparation, in most cases, is soon real
lied, 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. It is sold by every druggist in
bottles of two sizes-50c and Sl.0O.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper. Adv.

Garden Plots and Patriotism.

We farmers, as rule, are not a
class of men who can boast of bank
accounts upon which we might draw
to purchase American flags, so our
patriotism must manifest itself in
some other form. One of my patriotic
neighbors, by the way, has become so
enthused over the matter of prepared
ness that he has laid out his small
farm to resemble Old Glory, seven
rows of red-top beets representing the
CORY stripes, with six rows of white
turnips alternated between them. On
one corner of the plot six rows of cab
bage heads indicate the 4S stars of the
Onion Jack, and on the fence post at
the upper corner of this American
vegetable flag sits stuffed henhawk
with spread wings resembling the
American eagle. This is not all. No,
indeed! He has arranged a set of
bugle calls for the dinner horn which
begin at the hour Of reveille and at
which every member of his patriotic
household tumbles out. Military
saiutes have taken the place of Good
mornin, SAL" and "How-do Hank"
and other unpatriotic expressions of
cordiality.-Zim in Cartoons Magazine

PERoNNE is HISTORIC GROUND
In That City Louis XII Was Forced to
Sign Treaty Which Laid Founda-
tion for Belgium.

The ground whereon the great war
is being decided is one of the famous
battlefields of French history. 1t was
called of old "Sangterro, the bloody
ground" but never was its name so
true as today. In Peronne, now being
bombarded by the French, two French
kings have suffered Imprisonment
Charles the Simple for six years in the
tenth century, and Louis XI for three
days in the fifteenth century.
The latter incident has more to do
with today's events that it may seem
to have, for King Louis was on a
friendly visit to Charles the Bold of
Burgundy at Peronne when he was
imprisoned by his host on the charge
of having stirred up the burghers of
Liege until he had signed the treaty
of Peronne, which freed Flanders from
France and so laid the foundation for
Independent Belgium.
No human being dared remind King
Louis of this humiliating experience,
but, strange to say, the magpies took
to singing "Peronne, Peronne" wher-
ever he went, until he recovered the
town. To do this he was obliged to
bribe the British to withdraw the army
that had been sent in aid of the duke
of Burgundy. A payment of 75,000
| crowns to Edward " and proportion
ate sums to his ministers won them
over, and a match was arranged be
| tween Charles the dauphin and Ed
wards daughter.
Neither king would trust the other
and with good reason-so the parents
of the happy pair met on a bridge
across the Somme, with a strong wood
en- grill between them, through which
they ventured to shake hands.-NeN
York Independent.

HAPPY IN SERVICE
WHERE WOMAN FEALLY FINDS
HER HIGHEST JOY.
Ambition and Success, According to
Writer, May Give Peculiar Salts
faction, but Not Always the
Greatest Happiness.

Who is the happieSt woman in the
world? Is it the woman who has writ
ten successful book, or painted ii
great picture or done some other nore-
worthy thing to bring her into the
public eye?
No, far from it. Fame never yet
made any human creature truly happy.
On the contrary. it usually seeks TO
spoil his peace of mind; it interrupts
his private life and makes all sorts
Of insOlent demands on his time ANA
thought.
When you are famous you belong to
the public, you cease to belong 10 the
little private circle of those who love
yen.
"Oh. for quiet hour to sit down
and read Book with my family"
sighed u man who is famous on two
continents. But. no, belong to the
public, and the public does not give
ME time to live"
Ask any woman who is doing what
the world calls great things, and she
will tell you, doubtless, that she is
happy in having satisfied her desire to
achieve some particular thing; but If
her face glOwS and she cries jOyfully,
Il am the happiest woman in the
world !" you may come to one of two
conclusions: either she is very, very
new at her accomplishment, the reac-
ton is yet TO come, or else it is some
more intimate more personal JOY than
either her book or her picture that
gives the real crown to her happiness.
Ambition is q beautiful and neces-
sary thing: but 1t is not happiness,
any more than q ten-mile tramp is
rest. And it never yet satisfied the
heart that was made for joy-as what
woman's heart is not, even though her
Joy gets half its bliss from sorrow.
Nay, the happiest woman in the
world is not she who is filling some
| lofty seat in the full glare of the pub
lie eye. 1t may be right for that wom-
nn to be there. 1t was not meant that
all women should be happy to their
fullest capacity. Doubtless she is OF
great use there. But she is not the
happiest woman in the world.
The happiest woman in the world is
she who is contentedly serving those
she loves.
That is the truth in a nutshell. ant
any honest woman who looks into hel
own heart with understanding eye.
will confess it.
What is life. anyway, but service
Ell of US find that out sooner or later
And the woman whose privilege it i
to minister to those she loves-whOs
place in the world is to make life glat
for those who love her-is the hap
piest woman in it.
1t is a privilege not given to all.
But let those to whom it is given
the sweet hOmemakerS, the loved Wive
and mothers and sisters-awake t
their JOY while they yet have it, an
sing all through the glad days, fo
theirs is the happiest lot on earth.-

Make Silk Sausage Skins.

Germany now is making sausage
skins of raw silk, according to the
Rheinische Westfaelische Zeitung.
Even before the war experiments were
being conducted in the making of a
hollow casing of raw silk to be filled
with sausage meat. The Elberfeld rib
bon factory is now turning out great
lengths of this sausage casing. Just
now, however, owing to the shortage
of meat. very large quantities of cas-
ing are not needed. With the ordinary
prices of raw silk prevailing the new
casing is no dearer than the usual sau-
sage skins.
The Berliner LOkaI Anzeiger of Au-
gust says that a new invention has
been introduced by the Berlin inven-
tions bureau for putting meat up in
briquettes for transport. These
briquettes, it is said, are impervious
to the attack of insects.

given by rose enthusiasts for their

hints In the care and selection of any
favOrite, because what one may find as
an argument for his pet blossom may
be equally true in any number of cases
and many Of my readers may be able
readily to meet the claims advanced by
others and find equal merit for their
own selections.

make its study especially worth while.

New Telepbone.TeIeoraph.

A new telegraph instrument has been
invented by means of which any tele-
graph operator may send messages in
the Morse code over an ordinary tele-
phone. This new instrument can be
attached to any telephone and the con-
nection between it is purely mechani-
cal. 1t does not require any additional
electric circuit. The telegraph key has
pivot at the end. It produces a
sharp distinct sound and is connected
with the metal case of the telephone
by two clamps. 1t is claimed that
Morse signals sent by this instrument
carry longer distances than the hui
man voice over long distance tele-
phones, so the telephone-telegraph
can be of great value both in supple
mentary and in verifying telephone
conversation.

GERMANY COULD BUILD SHIPS
so Far as Ways and Construction
Plants Are Concerned 25 Could
Be Under Erection.

According to an excellent naval crit
&c, Hector c. Bywater, so far as build
ing ways and construction plants are
concerned, there is no reason why Ger
many could not have 25 battleships or
battle cruisers under construction at
one and the same time. Though he
admits that this figure may be aston
ishing, he shows that an examination
OF the various yards, government and
private, in Germany justifies the esti-
mate. In fact, he goes further and
states that, simultaneously, program
including light cruisers, destroyers and
submarines could be put through, since
there are many German yards which,
although they cannot build capital
ships, are well equipped to produce
the lighter craft. He estimates the
total working force in all these yards
at 100000 men.

THE BIGGEST GERMAN TREE

The German empire has produced
many things that have held records
for magnitude but none of them hold
more interest than the empires big

on the outskirts of the village of Staf-

history Of the region say that the tree
is five hundred years old.
The authorities have filed the hol-

During the Napoleonic invasion Of
Germany It is related that the French
Marshal Berthier rode his horse into
the hollow Of the tree and turned the
animal around there.

One View of Living In the Past.

1t is a sure sign Of old age creeping
on, say some folk, when the mind in
stinctively turns back and lives in the
past. But is it? If that past Is pleas
ant to dwell upon, is it the part of the
mind to forget it? Is 1t not, after all,
a pretty sure sign of life well lived
1hen in later years one likes to go
back into the years past, to let the
mind dwell on what has gone before,
and when one finds that the friends Of
early years are still the friends of
later life? All life is not lived in the
present and future, as the young be-
lieve. 1t is natural that youth has this
notion, since no background can exist
except through experience. 1t Is as
we live IN the present and future that
later gives us a background to look
upon, and it is something deep and fine
and vital that turns the mind back
upon the retrospect of life well
spent.-Ladies' Home Journal.

danger from the momentum a heavily
loaded train sometimes gains in rum
ming down grade. A spur track has
been built at the foot of such a grade
and an automatic switch sends any
train that is going too fast up this
branch. If the approaching train comes
along at a safe speed nothing will in
terfere with its progress. If it is going
too fast when it passes a block GER
tain distance above the switch, it is
automatically sent up the spur track,
where it remains until pulled Off.
