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 chemical analysis
of the patients urine. He knows that un.
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 OF
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 a kidney remedy 10
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root.
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. 1t is sold by every druggist in bot
ties of two sizes-50c and $780,
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.

portant one. No trivial matter would
cause her to arise at that hour. The
days when she took breakfast with
her husband were long since past.
She usually spent her mornings in bed,
recovering from the fatigue Of the
previous nights session at auction
bridge. For Isabelle's chief folly was
the playing for high stakes at the
home of Mrs. Cora Blake, an attrac-
tive widow Of fifty.
Clay had frequently objected to his
wife's visits to the Widow Blake's
apartments.
Stories had come to Clay, stories of
VIII llulcS III Iuo WluOW Dldhc y.
Stories had come to him, too, Of the

unstrung; some days really incapaci-
tated by illness.
If we all would practice inside-bath-
ing, what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands of
half-sick, manufacturing souls with
pasty, muddy compilations we should
see crowds Of happy, healthy, rosy
checked people everywhere. The rea-
son is that the human system does not
rid itself each day Of all the waste
which it accumulates under our pres
ent mode of living. For every ounce
of food and drink taken into the sys-
tenn nearly an ounce of waste material
must be carried OFT, else it ferments
and forms ptomaine-like poisons which
are absorbed into the blood.
Just as necessary as it is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each day,
before the fire will burn bright and
hot, so we must each morning clear
the inside organs of the previous days
accumulation of indigestible waste and
body toxins. Men and women, wheth-
er sick or we'll, are advised to drink
each morning, before breakfast, a
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in
it, as a harmless means of washing
out of the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the indigestible material,
waste, sour bile and toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before put

Millions Of people who had their

Clay was there. And Irwin. and the
chief Of police. They had asked him
to come that he might see the con.
fession, and act quickly without wait
ing for the courts action on Monday.
They feared that Stone would leave
town. Time was precious.
Tho door of the secret safe in the
wall was wide open. The cover Of
the jewel case was up. The paper
was gone.

win shouted. II suppose you told

doggedly replied. II never talk when
I am drunk"
And only Isabelle, shrinking in the
big chair before the fireplace, knew.
Only she could have told where the
paper went. Only she could have told
and she remembered 1t all so dis
tinctly now-how Mrs. Blake had
moved suddenly toward the safe, a.
she had carried the jewel case to the
table by the window. Only she could
have told Of that faint momentary rus.
tie Of paper she had heard in the brief
instant that her back was turned.
"A paper gone," she muttered to her
self in anguish. Then Mrs. Blake Is
the thief. and If I tell, she'll expose
me-"
Though Isabelle we'll knew that fol
her to hold her tongue meant poverty
and hardship all her life; though she
knew that 1t meant the entire loss of
happiness for herself and her hus-
band, who could not exist without the
luxury to which they had been sccus-
toned, though she knew that her &C
ton was dragging down her father
into poverty and business failure with
her husband, she could not drive her
Grant tongue to speak the few simple
words that would have cleared all.
Insistently, persistently, she main
tanned that she did not know where
the paper had gone; that she had
never seen it; that nobody had been In
the room with her.
And so the craven fear that held
her tongue made silence her latest
and greatest folly, while ruin, gaunt
and horrible, stalked through all their
lives. All were paying a horrible
price for her folly and their own.

But she had reckoned without the

have seen her mission had ended in
failure.
A detected little figure she sat In

up her pretense of gayety, only when
Clay happened to raise his eyes to-

butler, creating a welcome diversion,
