piled:

Fairplay, Colo.-Five hundred of a
flock of 5000 sheep belonging to Har-
old Chambers of Hartzell were dead in
the pens Saturday morning when the
herders entered to care for them. Dur
ing the day about 500 more died, and
the evidence is that the animals were
poisoned Saturday night, after work
ing all day, the flock masters believed
they had overcome the epidemic and
will be able to save the others. Mr..
Chambers believes that the sheep
were poisoned. This is the third loss
of the last two weeks, and has caused
considerable uneasiness. Friday night
Alma, small mining town near here,
was almost destroyed by fire. Two
weeks ago the haystacks at ranch
near this city were burned by fire
from a cigarette, and the owner be-
lieves the fire was started with intent
to destroy his hay and farm buildings.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root, DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip.
tiOn, 0verc0meS Kidney Trouble

It 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 a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
filtering 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 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, NY, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and

woman who cannot support herself on
large income bobs up again. Mrs.
Olga Kohler Florman of New York has
been drawing $25,0OO annually from
the state of her father, but she asks
an increase because she has gone in

an infant son. The court allowed hsN
a bonus Of $4,000.
