An Attack of Grip
Always Leaves Kidneys
In Weakened Condition

z Doctors in all parts of, the country
have been kept busy with the cpl
demic of grip which has visited so
many homes. The symptoms of grip
this year are often very distressing
and leave the system. in a run down
condition, particularly the = kidneys
which seem to suffer most, as almost
every victim complains Of lame back
and urinary troubles which should
not be neglected, as these danger sig
nails often lead to dangerous kidney
troubles. Druggists report large
saleNso DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root
which so many people say soon heals
and strengthens the kidneys after an
attack Of grip. Swamp-Root is a
great kidney, liver and bladder
remedy, and, being an herbal com
pound, has gentle healing effect on
the kidneys, which is almost imme-
diately noticed in most cases by
those who try it. Dr. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y, offer to send a
sample size bottle of Swamp-Root, on
receipt of ten cents, to every sufferer
who requests it. A trial will \con-
vince any one who may be in need
of it. Regular size bottles SO cts and

RESTORING SHEEP INDUSTRY

Plans were formed last November
at conference held in Philadelphia,
for restoring the sheep industry. Re-
ports since that time show great in
terest in the subject. Railroads and
land companies and thousands of in
dividual farmers have taken hold of
it.
There used to be a proverb that
the Sleeps hoof is shod with gold.
Contraiwise, one man who once went
into sheep raising says that as re-
suit, whenever he sees a sheep he
feels. as if he wanted to kick. it. APP
parently there are q lot Of people
who feel that way, from the way
wool has risen in price.
The worst obstacle in the way Of
sheep raising is the damage by dogs,
at least in the more thickly settled
parts of the country. New York and
Pennsylvania are among the states
that expect radical revision of the
dog laws this winter.
OF course some of the ideas that
farmers have advocated for control of
dogs are not practical. The dog low
ers are powerful body, and they
include a large proportion of any
state legislature. Our canine i pets
will never be kept tied up. But the
people who own them should pay
for the damage they do. 1t is not
right that it should be made diff
cult to raise one Of our great staples
merely because people cannot control
their mongrel pups. AS the identity
of dogs that worry sheep can not al
ways be established, the dog owners
as a whole will have to be assessed
enough to cover all damages
If dogs were properly trained, it
would seem unnecessary for them to
acquire the sheep killing habit Dog
lovers who have looked into this mat
ter saying that If the puppies are
shown sheep at an early age and
then whipped soundly when they dis
play the slightest tendency to pur-
sue theme, they will learn their les
son for good. A dog in region
where farmers would like to keep
sheep is not worth much unless he
has had this training. 1t should be
made expensive to keep an uncon-
trollable animal of this kind.

THE MAN WHO is TOO SWEET
TO BE WHOLESOME

A"While love has daily perils such
AS none foresee and none control,
And hearts are strong so that one
Careless or rough may jar the whole"
A soft-spoken, over-polite - man is
sure to appeal to the general run OF
woAhen There is fattery in his gaze.
He has way of clasping a woman S
hand, lingeringly, that stirs the blood
in her veins and brings the color to
her cheeks, giving her tacltly to un-
derstand that she possesses more in
terest for him than any other woman
in the world. Every sentence he Whis-
pers in her ear contains covert mean
ings. For a time this pleases woman
kind. Gradually, however, it becomes
an old story. Instead Of continuing to
admire the over-polite man she be-
comes conscious after while that he
is actually silly. He lacks the. manli-
ness of other men. In fact, she con-
cludes that he's altogether too sweet
to be wholesome.
Even the most polite men never
carry politeness to the point of max
ing themselves ludicrous. A young
woman told me this story of the Incl
husband from between two ardent
lovers each of whom would not take
no for an answer She had been en-
tertaining both in the parlor one win
ter evening. One was a sweet, suave
young man who never forgot the habit
of smiling The other was a plain
young business man with no -rsils
about him. At lull in the converse
oh hoe yfi1x o1o6 tn hoo 1nQy
little brothers voice pipe cut in the
hall, open the door, Nell, I want to

Both men sprang to their feet. The
over-gracious lover stepped to her
have the pleasure of performing the
service of opening the door for, this
tiny, Ily-white hand?" In the mean
time, the other young man had strobe
to the door, flying it open, and caught
the youngster in his arms hosting
him to his shoulder, bearing him tri-
umphantly to his sister and deposit
ing him in her lap. The difference be-
tween the two men struck her forcibly
She married the man who jumped to
accomplish things without ado.
Graciousness and sweet words are
all very well in courtship's beginning
But they have a fashion Of wearing
away like gold-plate, usually disclos-
ing brass beneath the polish. The
over-polite lover seldom makes the
k1ndest or most considerate husband.
The bluff, outspoken man is more of
ten than not diamond in the rough.
He doesn't make so much pretentions
as to the tenderness Of his love. He
believes a woman should take that for
granted. With him. it is his deeds
that count, not soft promises. The
soft-spoken genius does not take very
well or get far with men. He is of
the class that makes dupes of women.
The man who is natural is genuine to
his hearts core. He who is unnat-
ural comes down to his regular h,gait
all in good time.

CONTROL MEASURES
FOR DOCK FALSE-WORM

Washington, D. c., Jan. >2.-An ap-
pie insect pest which in it's attack on
the fruit somewhat resembles the
cooling moth is described in new
professional paper Of the Bureau Of
Entomology, Bulletin No. 265 Of the
u. S. Department of Agriculture, by
E. ]. Newcomer, This green worm,
known as the dock false-wornn, is
found throughout the northern sec
ton of the United States and is no.
ticeably prevalent in the State Of
Washington The insect feeds upon
certain succulent plants such as the
DOCKS knotweeds, and bindweeds.
When these occur in an orchard the
worm makes its way up the trunk of
the tree and burrows into the fruit,
causing it to rot. There can be little
or no danger from this insect in
clean-cultivated orchards or in or
chards where its food plants do not
exist However. where a perennial
cover crop such, as alfalfa is grown,
other control measures must be TAX
en-. Nh
Efficient protection may be secur-
ed by banding tile. trees with cotton
batting or with some /. sticky sub
stance. In, experiments by the De-
partment an S-inch strip of cotton
batting was. placed about the trunk
of each tree and tied with a>cord
about the middle. The upper half Of
the cotton band was then rolled down
over the cord. Good results also were
obtained by applying to the trunks
of the trees a band Of commercial
sticky substance ne-eighth inch thick
and three inches wide. The lower
limbs Of the trees should be kept well
up from the ground, and any props
used also should be banded. Bands
should be put on in, the latter part
of August4and left on until after the
fruit is harvested A|
