WOMEN SUFFERERS MAY
NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and
never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmers' Swamp-Root, physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.

From Our Soldiers Graves.

At present, in the case of American
soldiers who die in France, a cross
marks the grave. At the transverse Of
the cross stands a metal shield with a
design in low relief revealing youth
with broken sword, his face lifted to
heaven. Round the shield runs the in
scription: "He died to keep men
Free" Underneath are his name and
regimental status. 1t is the intention
of the Red Cross to remit this shield
of glory to his relatives after the war,
when some permanent form of remem-
brance shall have been devised by the
war department.-Eliza Frazer, in
the Saturday Evening Post.

KIND TO PRIS0NERS-GUILTY
German Women Warned That They
Will Be Punished for LACK
of SeIf-Respect."

Women, even the miraculous Ger
man superWomen, are incOrrigible,
observes a writer in the Literary Di-
gest. The German government has
just discovered to it's horror that
Gretchen, in common with all the
daughters of Eve, is not insensible
to the charms of q we'll favored man,
and, if given the opportunity, even
she is disposed to flirt. The Franken-
furter Zietung Indignantly writes:
Female inhabitants of houses ad-
jacent to camps of officer prisoners
of war have communication with the
imprisoned officers, and even throw
them things. Thanks, however, to the
sharp lookout kept by the authorities,
the attempts in each case were frus-
trated. The guilty persons, who be-
long to all classes of society and are
of various ages, were discovered.
"While the police authorities have
hitherto considered sharp reprimands
as sufficient warnings, in the belief
that such unconsidered acts were due
to a foolish desire for sensation, in
future such conduct will be visited
by very severe legal penalties and
public exposure. These penalties will
furthermore be imposed without dis
elimination on all who may render
themselves guilty of such lack of self
respect"

Iceland Will Plant More Potatoes.

Iceland will make new departure
this year in the matter of using pOta-
to flour. Representatives of that gov
ernment are sending out propaganda
looking to the general and extensive
planting of potatoes this year. Since
the summer season is so short in Ice
land and other Arctic countries, the
raising of grain is not possible, but it's
climate is adapted to the raising Of
potatoes. Plans are being made for
the installation of potato milling ma
chinery, so that in measure Iceland
will in the future be little more in
dependent of outsiders for it's farina-
ceous foods. Shortages of shipping,
with consequent curtailment Of i'm
ports has made it impossible to main
tain Icelands wheat supplies.

At the late annual meeting of the

were 4,391 apiaries registered in New

Saved His Comrade.

A few months ago an America sea-
man who was swimming in tropical
waters was attacked by a school Of
sharks and his leg was bitten off. The
fins of four other sharks were visible
near by and it seemed certain that the
unfortunate sailor would soon be torn
to pieces, when Wallace Odell Prater,
a machinist, dived into the blood
stained water and brought the wound
ed man safely to the ship. In recog-
milton of this rare act Of bravery Pra-
ter was awarded a gold life-saving
medal by the secretary of the treas
ury. He lives in Stafford, Kan.

To Cure Sore Throat.

So many people have been troubled
with sore throats this spring. 1t is
most unwise to allow this condition to
progress, since many serious forms Of
sickness start with "just sore throat"
When the throat feels raw, half-hOur
gargling periods, using warm salt wa
ter, are advised. This is an antiseptic
and removes the irritation. Again
equal parts of listerine, water and per-
oxide is even more effective. For an
annoying tickling in the throat an ap-
plication of hot glycerin rubbed thor
oughly into the pores and covered with
warm flannel gives relief.
