the operatic production presented by
the members of the Junior class at

WHAT THE DOCTOR KNOWS
Kidneys Must Be Right 10 Insure Health

NNausyo s"aeh ~ NtHUt w
Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physicians 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 results are
sure to follow. According to health sta
tistics, 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.
Therefore, it is particularly necessary
to pay more attention to the health of
these4important 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 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
bottles of two sizes-50c. and S1.OO.
However, If you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., BinghamtoD, N. Y, for
sample bottle. When writing be sure

President Harrison's cabinet, and
more widely known as the mer
chant prince of Philadelphia. Mr..
Wanamaker's devotion to the
monthly meeting of the PennsyI-

Wanamaker was at the head Of his
own class of nearly 1000 men as
they paraded the streets Of Phila-
delphia The following letter has
just been received from Mr.. Wanna
maker and it is for publication:
II am often asked why / keep
up my interest in church and Sun
day school work. With the same
amount of reason I might be asked
why do l eat or why do l sleep?
Because I find one Just as neces-
sary to my well-being as the other.

yet be very miserable man with
out the spiritual uplift that comes
only from an attendance upon d.
vine ordinances.
II have grown up from young
manhood into mature life, along
with hundreds of church and Sun
day school members, and l count it
one of the great privileges of my
life to touch shoulders with the
earnest Christian men who are dill
gent in business, fervent in spirit,
serving the Lord.
Il have made it the rule of my
life to be In my regular place each
Lords day when in health and in
the country. Thus by example to
encourage every officer and mem
Der of the school with the impor-
lance of regular attendance and al
ways being on time.
1.-THE man in business life who
ignores the Bible and Its teachings
is casting aside the most impor-
tant thing for things of minor i'm
portance and taking the risks
which such unbusinesslike under
takings incur
