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.
q prominent druggist says, Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I 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 so large a 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, 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 receiveSa sample bottle of
SwampRoot 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.

SING OLD SONGS IN RUSSIA
People Retain Many Traditions of the
Sun Worshippers During Festival
Of YuIetide.

In Russia, the enormous country
which covers one-sixth of the land sur

of 100000 human beings celebrate
In various ways the great winter festi-
val of Yuletide, 1t will be found that
the people retain many traditions OF
the sun worshippers. which shows that
the season was once observed in honor
of the suns power.
Russia TO most minds is a country OF
cold, darkness, oppression and suffer
ing. and this is true to an altogether
lamentabIe extent. But it is also q
country OF warmth, brightness, free
dom and happiness.
There are certain general features Of
the Yuletide observance that are typ
Ical of the country. One is the singing
of their ancient Kolyada songs, CON-
posed centuries ago by writer's who are

DAINTY cAMIsoLEs.

Camisoles- is corset covers, by
4 less matter-of-fact name-are never
neglected when the Christmas list of
SalabIe finery is made up by buyers
for the big shops. This year they have
presented shoppers with many lovely
camisOies of ribbon, or net and ribbon
combined, or crepe georgette and rib
bon. Those shown in the picture are
in pale pink, which is the favored color
for fine underwear.
Very wide satin ribbon, decorated
with small tucks, lace insertions and
French knots in pink and blue silk,
serves to produce the camisole at the
top of the picture. 1t is edged with a
frilI of pink crepe and supported by
shoulder straps of satin ribbon.
The camisOle below it is made Of
fine, white net. banded with satin rib
bon. The same ribbon is used for
shoulder straps and for drawing up
the fulIness over the bust. It is fin
ished with small bow at the front. A
fiat elastic run in a narrow hem in the
net, adjusts the camisole to the waist
shabby with use.

Christmas time.
In some places a maiden dressed In
white and drawn on a sledge from
house to house represents the goddess
OF the sun, while her retinue of maid
ems sing the Kolyada, or carols. Here
again appears the ancient custom of
gift-making, for the maidens who at

In appreciation Of their songs.
In parts of Russia the Virgin Mary
and birds take the place OF sun and
stars in these songs, which are sung
throughout the Yule season by groups
OF young folk at social gatherings. or
from house to house, and form the
leading feature OF the Christian festivi-
