OlD PRESCRIPTION
 FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that SO many products that are ex- tensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten! The reason is plain-the article did not fulfil the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited. to those who are in need of it..
 A prominent druggist says, Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, . preparation l have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend. for in almost every case it shows excellent re- suits, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy that 1 know of has 90 large . sale"
 According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation. the success of Dr. Kilmers' Swamp Root is due to the fact that, so many people claim. it fulfils al most every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments. corrects UT mary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.
 You may receive sample bottle of Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Address Dr. kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y., and enclose ten cents: also mention this paper. Large and medium size bottles for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.

EASY TO DRIVE CAR
Man Intended to Take Lessons
 in Running, but Didn't
CAUSE OF MANY ACCIDENTS
Former cineinnatian Relates Experi- enee With hAutomobiIe-Never Got
 Hurt, But Felt Nervous
 on Several Occasions.

A man must be about ten years learning his trade before he will be permitted to drive a locomotive, which can only do damage to things which happen to be on the same track. But anyone can drive an automobile through the crowded traffic of New York, however little he may know about driving, the correspondent of the Cincinnati Times-Star writes. This may in a degree explain the alarming frequency of automobile accidents. A case winch exemplifies possibilities is that of a former Cincinnatian, the de tails being given by himself:
 Decided to Have . Car.
 "I decided to have a car," he said, ~when l accidentally made $4.SOO by over-buying cotton on an error in South American cable order. went to the automobile salesroOns and pick ed out the kind of machine l wanted. When they told me the price l took the money out of my pocket and paid 1t. They asked me where wanted the car sent and I told 'em didn't want it sent. I said was going to take 1t with me. They put a man in it with me and he ran 1t around a couple of blocks, showing me how to start 1t and stop 1t and steer 1t and do a few other things that I didn't just bother to un- derstand. as they didn't seem to be essential. had never undertaken to drive a car before. I thought 1t was all right because l used to drive a horse. The last thing the man at the automobile place said to me was that I must listen for the whistle of the traffic cop at 72d street and Broadway. 50 as to know from the signal whether to stop or go ahead. got up to where the cop was, all right. but I got his signal crossed and went ahead when everyone else stopped. The cop came running after me and stopped me. He asked me how long had been driving . car. I told him, as near as could recollect, about 30 minutesL All he did was to hand me . little circular about tranic rules and tell me to be careful l got to my house all right and took my sister out for . ride in Riverside drive. A lot of people seem cd to look grossly at me. but didn't know what 1t was about until l ran into . fellow and took his wheel on. Ne said that l had broken one of the most important trafic rules and when I looked at the book, by jingo. he was right. I settled with him and went on, S,,x e3o xront home m Q frollev

Teaching Youth courtesy.

It is true that the one-time honored ~ma'am" has gone to voyage. Yet wait-what takes its place? Sometimes nothing. Poor modern child,
 Little Willie. you see. is taught that -ma'am" Is decidedly bad form. don't you know. a mode of address only to be used by servants. indeed, and so his yOuthship comes out with an abrupt "No" or a brief Yes" to old ladies and plsymates alike, an ex- change observes.
 The really correct thing for While to be taught is that the name or reia- tiOnship of the persons addressed must be given in place of that socially os- tracked ma He must say "Yes. mother" or mo, father" (if he has been taught not to use "sir"O. or "No Mir. Smith or Miss Jones'" as the case may be.
 The mentioning of a persons name when speaking to him or her Is always . pleasant little mark of courtesy even from one older person to another and is charming to hear from a childs lips.

An unusual type of automobile emergency brake stops the car by lift ing the rear or power wheels clear of the ground. It consists of two fiat semi-clrcular steel shoes thick at the top and tapering off at the bottom. These are placed between the body of the car and the inside of the rear wheel on each side.
 A ;oothed rack Is cut along each edge of the upper side of the shoe, the rack-teeth respectively meshing with the teeth of two ordinary spur gears slipped loosely over the rear axle housing and provided with cam shaped clutches on their facing sides. 4 collar with reverse cam-shaped clutches is rigidly attached to the axle between each of the two spur gears. Two rollers carried on studs attached to the vehicle frame are employed to contact with the under or bottom side of each steel shoe and keep the racks on its upper face always in mesh with the two loose spur gears.
 Gears Attached to Axle.
 Either one of the spur gears may be rigidly attached to the turning rear axle by sliding 1t into contact with the clutch collar. The rotation of the collar revolves the gear in contact with It so that 1t causes the shoe to be moved down into contact with the ground and lift the rear wheel clear ofr the road. The friction between the shoe and the ground causes the vehicle to come to a gradual stop with out the shock incident to the opera

UNUSUAL TYPE OF EMERGENCY BRAKE.

ton of the conventional band brake. specified distance, further downward motion is prevented by the teeth of the gear running of those on the rack. the thicker section at the top of the shoe serving as a wedge to hold 1t in that position.
 The lowering of the car wheels on the ground after a stop. is accom- plished by unclutching the first gear from the axle collar and clutching the other one. The same direction of TO tation of the axle is made to lift tho shoe up of the ground by means of a small gear interpOsed between the gear in clutch and the rack teeth.
 cIutehine Of Gear.
 The clutching of either gear with the collar between Is secured by means of a longitudinal lever with a double acting bell crank and pedal on the fioorboard of the drivers cab.
 Two pedals and two levers are em- ployed. one for each set of loose gears. One pedal is made to suffice for the similar-sized gears on each side of the car by means of a crosswise equalizer at the rear as shown. This assures simultaneous action by each shoe.
 Obviously the automobile will come to comparatively short stop upon the application of the brake and will not be likely to skid or slide even on a steep grade as long as the steel shoes remain on the ground in their brak. ing position.-Popular Science Month ly.

WAR ON DIVERS TOLD
BRITISH NAVAL COMMANDER
GIVES SECRETS TO THE U. S.
Admiral De Chair Does Not Believe
German Submarines Will Attempt
to Raid America.

Washington, April 28.-Rear Admit
raj Sir Dudley r. S. De Chair, the vet
eran naval officer of Great Britain's
war commission to the United States,
gave group of Washington newspa-
per correspondents first-hand story
Of some Of his experiences during the
two years he commanded patrol fleet
chasing German submarines. Without
minimizing the gravity of the subma-
rine menace, he confidently predicted
that it would be overcome.
Commenting on suggestions that
Germany might undertake subma-
rine campaign on the American coast,
the admiral said this would not be
profitable from the German point OF
view without extensive supply bases
on this side of the Atlantic.
The admiral spoke of the memorable
lessons the allies had learned in the
war, and said he and his colleagues
had come to place them at the dis
posal of the American government.
