Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root, DR.. Kilmer's Prescrlp-
ton, 0vercomes Kidney Trouble

II Is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to a re.
markable degree and do tremendous
amount Of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
6ltering 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 bottle from your druggist.
However, If you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N Y, for q
sample bottle. When writing be sure and

BOY SWAPS HIS DADS SHIRT
Accepts Proposition Of Wild West
Show Employee and Gets Inside
the "Bip Top"

Monta Jessep Is the robust son Of
Orin Jessup, president Of the Orin Jes-
sup Land company Of Upton, and he
Is true American lad, says the In
dianapolls News. He knows when a
circus comes to town, and like oil other
boys, he will find way to see the
show. That was why he did not miss
wild West exhibition that played
Upton recently. The lad had been
pondering over how he was to get In
side the "big top" and he was not
greatly encouraged until a big, black
man-one of the many sons Of Ham
with the show-approached him.
"Say, sonny, how big's your dad2"
asked the stranger.
Hes n whopper," promptly replied
the youngster, thinking perhaps the
colored man might have some notion
Of ordering him roughly from the
grounds.
'If you all II give me one of your
dads shirts I'll take you In all the
shows"
The lad scurried away and soon de-
hvered one of Mr.. Jessup's best shirts
to the colored man, who was MS good
as his word and took the lad through
every tented attraction on the grounds.
Later on the young American had It
forcibly impressed on him that he could
have gone to the show several times
Tor what the shirt cost.

herring in endless quantities. In add.

heretofore ever been made to cultivate
this delicious member OF the finny
tribe. and 1t Is thought that the Chesa.
peake Bay and tributaries will receive
In the spring thousands OF these smaIl
fish to be turned loose for propagation.
The second plant is to be located
at the foot Of the Catoctin Mountains,
near Littlestown, Frederick county,
and will be both hatchery and pond
plant. There are already some Is
ponds covering from half to one acre
OF water area.
At this plant II is proposed to pro
duce trout, bass, catfish, crappie, blue
gills and Dream. These three latter
species are practically unknown to the
commercial fish markets in this state
but are excellent food fish. They are
to be distributed into fresh-water
streams, and as each of these species
are fish that readily take the hook and
line, 1t will mean not only furnishing
many pounds of food to the country
generally, but will furnish devotees Of
the angling sport an unusual opportun.

PLANS PERFECTING FOR
DRAFTING MEN FOR ARMY

Plans for the registering of men
called to the colors under the Selective
Draft Bill are being considered by Gov.
Stanley and his advisory board at
Frankfort. The Governor will appoint
a board in each county, which in turn
will select three men in each voting
precinct to conduct the registration.
Louisville, Lexington, Covington and
Newport will appoint their own.
This will occupy five days. Every
man within the age limits fixed by the
statute and call of the President must
register. The exemptions will be made
by the War Department afterward
These probably will include those with
dependent families and those engaged
in certain skilled and productive occu-
pations. From those selected the num-
Der required will be called and exam
ined.
1t is etimated that considerably
more than quarter of million Ken
tuckians will be registered during the
five days. Badges Of war census
officers already have been shown here,
indicating that provost duty will be
thorough in rounding up any who may
undertake to escape the notice of the
officers.
