Come, freedom Of tho land,
Come, meet the great demand,
True heart and open hand,
Take the loan!
For the hopes the prophets saw.
For the sword your brothers draw,
For liberty and law.
Take the loan!
Ye ladies of the land,
AS We love the gallant band,
Who have drawn soldiers brand,
Take the loan!
Who would bring them what she

Who would give the soldier food,
Who would staunch her brothers

What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE 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 a 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 one
year, in the State of New York alone
Therefore, it is particularly necessary tc
pay more attention to the health of these
important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as a 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

verified testimony of those who have used
the remedy.

Blake Wendell had asked her If he

told him he might. 1t did seem now

And lest he should think it was hers,
she could not let him see her there.
The death of her parents and poverty
