old PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t 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.
- A prominent druggist says, "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend for i'll
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that know of
has SO large a SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmers' Swamp-Root is due to the fact
that, so many people claim, it fulfls 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 receive a sample bottle of
Swamp Root by Parcel Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

RECOGNIZED His Sermon,

Two of England's most famous act
resses are daughters Of the manse,"
and Matheson Lang is the brother of
the archbishop of York, Ri. Rev. Cos
no Lang. Barnsby Williams, who
represents the characters Of Dickens
to the life, was educated for the
church and was only youth when he
became attached as a preacher to a
mission at Bow. SO successful was
he, writes a correspondent, that many
Of his sermons were sold at penny
a copy. He tells. a good story Of one
Of them.
"Mene, Meme, Tekel, Upharsin'
(Thou are weighed in the balance
and found wantingO was my text" he
says, land as I delivered the sermon
with all the dramatic fervor at my
command created sensation. Some
years later l went to a certain church.
The preacher was q well-known church
dignitary. When he read out his text
I pricked up my ears. Still higher did
l prick them, till they nearly fell off
my head, when, as the preacher read
his sermon, I recognized my own -ju-
venile effort" ...- -.

layer of the cooked macaronf in a cas-
serole or granite baking dish, add
bits of the cooked hamburger, little
onion juice and celery salt, little
broth or butter and water, repeat until
the macaroni is used. Place in the
oven and bake for a half hour. Green
peppers and tomatoes may be used for
seasoning, if so desired.
Where chestnuts are plentiful they
may make most dainty, nutritious, and
at the same time, attractive dishes.
ChestnutS contain carbohydrates
which need cooking to make them
more easily digested. Score. the shell
and drop them into a hot frying pan
to blanch, when blanched. remove the
shell and thin brown skin and the nut
Is ready for various uses. Cooked
until tender, mashed and seasoned
with fat which it lacks, sailed and
peppered, it may be served as. vege-
table with steak. -
Chestnut Cakes.-Shell and blanch
some good chestnuts, then cook in boil
Ing sailed water until tender. Rub
them. through a sieve and to every
half cupful add the yolk of an egg,
salt, white pepper, celery salt, and
onion juice and Worcestershire sauce,
to season highly. Make into neat
cakes, brush with beaten egg, roll In
fine crumbs, and fry in smoking hot
fat. Serve as meat.
Mock Mashed Potatoes.-Cook a
pound of chestnuts for a quarter OF
an hour, peel and skin them, and cook
in a quart of milk until very soft. Add
two tablespoonfuls Of butter, one tea
spoonful Of sugar, and teaspoonful
of salt. Rub through a sieve and
serve the same as mashed potatoes.
This makes a nice vegetable to serve
with chicken, and it has the additional
advantage that it can be eaten by
those to whom potatoes are denied.
DevIed chestnuts.-Blanch the nuts
then put them with a little. olive oil
Into q hot frying pan, and salt and
cayenne pepper and serve either hot
or cold.
Chestnuts cooked until tender, then
mashed and seasoned, with well-sea'
soned stock In which the nuts, were
cooked, makes most acceptable vege.
table dish.

'TIGHTWAD' BROUGHT TO TIME
Induced to Write His Name on the
Line After He Was Unable
to Prove Assertions.

A Muncie solicitor for the second
Liberty bond issue, after asking no.
torious "tightwad" of the town to buy
one or more bonds, relates the Indi-
annapolis News, was met by the reply,
II got one Of them the first issue and
can't afford to buy any more"
"Wheres your Liberty bond button,
them" asked the solicitor.
'aThe baby swallowed it," was the
reply.
swell, then, show me the receipt for
your payments for the first bond"
Cant; cat chewed it up"
'What proof have you, then, that
you have bought bond?"
"Well, can show you the baby and
the cat"
On hearing this facetious reply, the
solicitor said, "Well, you can at least
do me the favor to drive me in your
auto to the home of q possible Gus
TONER" and the other, overjoyed to get
away without '1oosening," hastily COM
piled. The solicitor gave the tight
wad" the address of the latter's next
door neighbor. Arriving there, the pa
triotic one did not go into that house,
but proceeded to the home of his friend
who had refused him, the friend, in
amazement, trailing along.
Mrs. Blank" said the solicitor to
the "tightwad's" wife, who opened the
door, II am working in the interest of
the government and I should like to
see your baby"
"My baby?" queried the astonished
wife, "why, he's twenty-eight years old
and lives in California"
"Ah, indeed! Well, then, may in
spect your cat?"
Looking at him with frightened eyes
es though she were gazing on a ma
MAC, but somewhat assured by her
husbands presence, the wife replied
to this, Il never had cat in my life.
I hate 'em and wouldn't have one of
'em around"
Then, turning to the husband, who
had wilted into q chair, the solicitor
made out an application for a 500
bond, filed out check for a similar
amount and presented them to the hus-
band, saying, "Just sign on the lower
lines, please"
The "tightwad" was too much taken
aback to do anything but comply.
