Don't Neglect kidneys
Swamp-Root. DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
ton, Overcomes Kidney Trouble

It is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs TO q re-
markable degree and do q tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system BY
fltering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. 1t
is DR.. Kilmer's prescription used in pri.
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get a bottle from your druggist.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer 4 Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper. Adv.

Those people whose curiosity leads
them to study the many badges Of
rank which now decorate the sleeves
of officers and men of the allied armies
have been puzzled by the appearance
Of a new badge In the French army.
French soldiers on leave In England
may be seen wearing narrow stripes on
the arm above the elbow and ordinary
people have been unable to understand
why some Of the rank and file have
been able to sport even more Of these
decorations than officers of high rank.
The explanation is simple. Every stripe
means wounded once. The French
government has inaugurated a scheme
by which every soldier Is entitled to
wear one for every time he has been
wounded.
Some men have already won several
such stripes and the other day one
man IN London was the proud wearer

SPANISH CHAPEL BUILT HERE
Wealthy Residents Of New York and
King of Spain Aided In Con-
struction of Rare Edifice.

"Where will We find a Spanish
church,"
That is the question that thousands
of Latin-Americans ask at hotels at
New York city, and there are thou
sands of persons in this city who do
not know that here is the most i'm
posing Spanish Catholic chapel In the
United States and one which for beau
ty of architecture and rare art treas
ures is unsurpassed in the great cities
Of South America and Mexico, says
the New York Herald.
Nuestra Sonora de la Esperanza is
the name Of the chapel. 1t Is near
the corner of One Hundred and Fifty
sixth street and Riverside drive, over
looking one OF the grandest views to
be had In New York city. Unlike a
great majority of Spanish chapels, the
poor of the Americas had little to do
with its building and few of the PEN
MES Of the Spanish wOrkingmen and
workingwomen went into its building
fund. Nuestra Sonora de la Esperan-
"a was built by the wealthy for the
poor.
Sonora Roua Manuela de Laverreni

More Horsea Than Ever.

For all motor vehicles which are
multiplying like rabbits, horses are in
creasing in number. In New York
State a census was taken by school
children last year under the auspices
of the State education and agricultural
departments. This was the first CEN
sus of its kind ever attempted.
The children's figures give the num-
Der of horses last year at 1,017.72S,
which is an increase Of 10S.0O0 over
the Federal census of 1910. The num-
ber of horses last year at 1,O17,72S
ber of cows remains unchanged, but
sheep fell off 100000. A gain Of 20O,.

Headoear in War.

The German army was equipped
with steel helmets long before the war
was begun. After the conflict was well
under way the French discovered that
the percentage of head wounds sus-
tanned by their soldiers was much
greater than the percentage in the
German army. The French adopted
the steel helmet. The British followed
suit, and now even the slOw-mOvins
Russians have equipped small part
Of their forces with the best form Of
protection against head wounds. After
Russia comes the United States with
an announcement through the war de-
partment that steel helmets for Ameri-
can soldiers are being "cOnsidered."-

Tell her." said Miss Prudence to
the lawyer, "that / shall be glad to re-

and give her a mothers care, in the
name Of her father, my dear brother.
In spite of family quarrels, my brother
was dear to me. Now that his death
has left his daughter penniless. l shall
wish to do what is right"
"'Tell her." piped little Miss Patience,
from the other side of the table, "that
1 am willing to take care Of my broth

"You might add" said Miss Pru-

"And," said Miss Patience, Il shall

The lawyer could hardly suppress a
smile. Despite the fact that they were
twin sisters, Miss Patience and Miss
Prudence had not spoken to each other
for thirty years.
They occupied two prim little villas
set size by side, each one within Its
