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.. Kilner's Swamp Root, a
preparation / 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 know of
has so large sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DIR.
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 ur-
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle OF
Swamp Root by Parcel Post. Address
DR.. Kilr1er & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.
Large and medium size bottles for sale
at all drug stores.-Adv.

Teachino 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
ina ann 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 mo" or brief eyes," to old
ladies and playmates alike, an ex-
change observes.
The really correct thing for Willie
to be taught is that the name or rela-
tionship of the persons addressed must
be given in place of that socially os-
TRACKED "ma'am." He must say ''Yes,
mother" or mo, father (if he has
been taught not to use ''sir''), or mo,
Mr.. Smith or Miss Jones'" as the case
may be.
The mentioning of a persons name
when speaking to him or her is always
a pleasant little mark Of courtesy,
even from one older person to another,
and is charming to hear from child's

Not Bread Alone.

A Japanese newspaper, in emphasize
ing the gravity of the responsibility
resting on Japan and America on ac-

and more of their products and de-

Aunt Virginia Says:


To attempt to plan your life for a
year, month, a week ahead is just
as foolish as it would be to commence
to add up a column of figures without
knowing what more than half of them
were.
Justice to the innocent sometimes
demands that we expose the faults Of
our neighbor, but we ought to meet the
occasion as an unpleasant duty, not as
joyful opportunity.
1t pays to be generous if only for
the claim it gives us on the generos-
ity of others when our time of need
comes.
1t ought to be made penitentiary
offense to thrust upon the radiant hap
piness Of newly married lovers the
cheap, coarse cynicism that lit won't

New Docks at Halifax.

The new docks at Halifax have
reached point where they can care
for a considerable amount of Canadian
and American shipping, although they
will not be finally completed for some
time yet. The war has given Halifax
great advantage as port, because
it shortens the transatlantic voyage
by several days. The new docks are
being erected at cost of $30,00O,OOO.
When complete they will be able to
dock 375,000 tons of shipping at one
time.

The men on the firing line represent

Many times the kidneys were to blame.
If we wish to prevent old age coming
on too soon, or If we want to increase
our chances for a long life, DIR. Pierce of
the Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, says
that you should drink plenty of water
daily between meals. Then procure at
your nearest drug store Anuric double
strength). This An-u-ric drives the uric
acid out and>cures backache and rheuma-
tism.
If we wish to keep our kidneys in the
best condition a diet Of milk and vege-
tables, with only little meat once a day,
is the most suitable Drink plenty of
pure water, take Anuric three times day
for q month.
Step into the drug store and ask for
a 60c package of Anuric, or send DR..
Pierce 10c for trial pkg. Anuric, many
times more potent than lithia, often elm
mates uric acid as hot water melts SUI
gar. A short trial will convince you.

It is imperative that every young woman in our United States, secure Tn the enjoyment of Liberty and Hap piness, should "do her bit" by taking the place of some young man who is performing heroic and valiant service on the battle front.
 In previous conflicts women have not been unresponsive to our coun- try's call, and the women of today will likewise spring to the fore and do mans part wherever they can. The need for young women today is imperative. Not only is there a shortage of stenographers in all gov ernment departments at Washington, but private firms all over the country must have stenographers and office help to fill the gaps caused by the war.
