RACHAEL RAND
IS DROWNED
Prominent University Teacher
Found in Creek Near Her
Home Yesterday

William Yates, who is in from Pine
Valley, reports the drowning Of Miss
Rachael Rand in Pine Creek yester-
day afternoon.
Miss Rand was fishing at dam
about three hundred yards from home
and II Is presumed that she slipped on
q rock and fell into the water below
the dam. The creek is not large but
the water falling over the dam has
made 4 hole about six feet deep and
about twenty feet across.
Miss Rand had been out several
hours when her brother William called
to her. Receiving no response he
started for the dam where he had seen
her last. and he was followed by their
father. Charles Rand. Arriving at the
dam the brother found several fish on
the bank which she had caught, also
her bait can. He Immediately sus.
pected that she had fallen into the
water. and he waded out into the hole
Near the middle his foot came in
contact with the body, and he dragged
the lifeless remains OF his sister from
the water just as the father arrived
at the dam.
Effort was made to resuscitate her
but II was all in vain. Two doctors
were called but when they arrived
they found that she was beyond the
help OF any human agency. II 4.
thought that she was in the water
about half an hour, and life had
passed out.
According to the theory of the doc
tors Miss Rand must have fallen and
struck her head on a rock before she
fell into the stream. This probably
rendered her unconscious and may
have produced death, as the lung!

Correspondence Of The Associated Press)
NAPLES. Italy, March 20. - The
war has turned the palace of the
, Bourbon kings of Naples into home
for mutilated soldiers. Around the
exquisite marble table where the
guests of the "Roi Soleil" of Naples
dined in the garden on hot summer
nights-the ladies in powdered head
dress and panier skirts, the men with
lace at their sleeves and embroidered
coats-to day are gathered the pitt
able fragments of humanity that war
has left in its wake. There are
neither candles nor massive silver
neither sweetmeats nor rare wines.
The Italian government allows 10
cents per day for their lodging and
maintenance, and food is high in Ma
pies.
The marble table on warm days in
the garden is the recreation center OF
the mutilated. in their worn ana
faded uniforms. Before each is an
oblong cardboard placard, some of
whose spaces are numbered. one OF
the men Che must he one of those

TO LIVE LONG,!

A recipe given by famous physician
tor long life was: Weep the kidneys in
good order! Try to eliminate thru the
skin and intestines the poisons that
otherwise clog the kidneys. Avoid eat
ing meat as much as possible; avoid too
much salt, alcohol, tea. Try milk and
vegetable diet. Drink plenty of water,
and exercise so you sweat - the skin
helps to eliminate the toxic poisons
and uric acid !"
For those past middle life, for those
easily recognized symptoms of inflam-
nation, as backache, scalding vwater !"
or If uric acid in the blood has caused
rheumatism, vrusty" joints, stiffness,
get Anuric at the drug store. This is a
wonderful eliminator of uric acid and
was discovered by DR.. Pierce of Invalids'
Hotel, Buffalo, N Y. If your druggist
does not keep it send 10 cents to DR..
Pierce for trial package and you will
find that it is many times more potent
than lithia and that it dissolves uric
acid as hot water does sugar.

What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BIB RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH.

Few people. realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases Of
serious illness, makes chemical analy-
sis of the patients urine. He knows that
unless the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health sta
tistics, Bright's Disease, which is really
an advanced form Of kidney trouble,
caused nearly ten thousand deaths in ono
year, in the State of New York alone.
Therefore, it is particularly necessary to
pay more attention to the health of these
Important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as kidney remedy
is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
The mild and healing influence of this
preparation, in most cases, is soon real
lied, according to sworn statements and
verified testimony of those who have used
the remedy.
When your kidneys require attention,
get Swamp-Root at once from any phar-
macy. 1t is sold by every druggist in
bottles of two sizes-50c and $1OO.
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
mention this paper. Adv.
