Home News For Soldiers and Sailors

The following from Buffalo News in
Line with PATRIOTS idea:
A great deal is being said about see
ing to it that our soldiers and sailors
get something to read.
That something has been pirticu
larized to IA certain extent. AT any
rate it has been suggested that organi
zations be formed AS clearing houses
through which stories and magazines
be sent to the men in the trenches and
on the ships.
And the fact has been emphasized
TINT our boys do not want magazines
of the vintage of 1900, but real, live,
up TO. date reading matter.
IL is obvious that the most accept
able "something to read' for these
men who are "doing their Bit would
be their favorite newspaper
The boys will long for news from
their own town.
Consequently, the most acceptable
present you can give TO a departing
soldier BOY or sailor laddie is a sub
scription to the newspaper that will
give him an account of the happen.
ings at home.
Ii will be sent to him first to the
training camp and later will follow
him regularly wherever he goes.
For few cents day your soldier
son, friend or lover may have con-
tinuous record of things back home.
And how it will hearten and enter
tain him when in ire nch, camp, or on
board ship.

0N'TNECLECT KIDNEYS
Swamp-Root, DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
tion,, 0vercomes Kidney Trouble.

It is now conceded by physicians
that the kidneys should have more
attention as they control the other
organs to a remarkable degree and
do a tremendous amount Of work in
removing the poisons and waste mat
ter from the system by filtering the
blood.
The kidneys should receive some
assistance when needed We take
less exercise, drink less water and
and often eat more rich, heavy food,
thereby forcing the kidneys to do
more wor., than nature intended.
Evidence of kidney trouble, such as
lame back, annoying bladder troubles,
smarting or burning, brickdust or
sediment, sallow complexion, rheuma-
tism, maybe weak or irregular heart
action, warns you that your kidneys
require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had most remarkable success as a kid
ney and bladder remedy is DR.. Kill
mer's SwampRoot. There is moth
ing else like it. 1t is DR.. Kilmer's
prescription used in private 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.

GRAND TONIGHT

'"The Mortal Sin," powerful
Metro picture showing tonight at the
Grand theater with Violet Dana as
the star, is a play of a wife's sacri-
fee for her husband. 1t presents a
problem, in the solution of which the
author shows that while many a man
may have wonderful liberal and gen.
erous-hearted theories regarding his
attitude toward his wife under try
ing circumstances, those theories
crumble away when confronted by
actual conditions. a happy ending
closes the picture in more than
satisfactory manner.
