 It is not recommended for everything.
 According to verified testimony it is natures great helper in relieving and over coming kidney, liver and bladder trou- bles.
 A sworn statement of purity is with every bottle of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root.
 If you need medicine, you should have the best.
 If you are already convinced that Swamp-Root is what you need, you will find it on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.

ness woman might win out even as boarding-house keeper, and not lose her share of instinctive maternal love.
 "That is the obstacle" the doctor announced. "It's Belgian. I ran across it, or rather it ran across me walled and held out it's little thin arms to me in the ward of one of the hospitals day or so after it's mother died. Of course I knew a lot of theoretical stuff about baby care and somehow I fancied I could take charge of it. Anyway I adopted it and with the help of the stewardess and some of the women on board, I got it home-though the women did look at me as if they thought I was demented for having adopted the youngSter. I had it bundled in my arms in a steamer rug-it was hale and sound and as rosy as it is now by that time-When mother and my old friends came to meet me at the dock. I thought at least my mother would take a fancy to it. First they laughed at me and then, when I wouldn't put it in an institution, they got irritable about it. I'd spent so much time at the front, that my funds are pretty low and couldn't afford a trained nurse for it.''
 He paused and looked down with unmixed joy as Jane kissed the baby's dimpled hands. Perhaps I'm stub- born, but the more they tried to argue me out of keeping it the surer got that was going to keep it. And even loving you as I did I wasn't going to think of marrying if it would mean giving up the youngster. For some reason I imagined you didn't elike babies. I thought you'd want me to give it up if you ever consented to be my wife. But"
 Jane was standing before the doctor with the baby clasped in her arms. ''It's perfectly wonderful" she said and the little Belgian orphan merely gurgled his surprise as he was clasped in the arms of Jane and the doctor in their first embrace.

HIGHWAYS ON PACIFIC COAST
Interesting Figures Secured by Cali fornia Experts on Pull Required
 to Move Wagon.

An energetic and influential organ lzation on the Pacific coast, the Cali fornia State Automobile association, has carried on some investigations af- fording definite figures of the value of good roads. It secured the help of Prof. J. B. Davidson of the University of California and Austin B. Fletcher, state highway engineer, in carrying on a large number of tests of the pull re- Quired to move a standard farm wagon loaded to make the gross weight 5000 pounds. This wagon was hauled in some cases by a two-ton truck and in other cases by a team of good draft horses, weighing about 1,6O0 pounds each.
 Tests have shown that a pull of 27 to 30 pounds per ton of gross load was needed to haul the wagon on unsur- faced concrete roads. When the con- crete YVES surfaced with oil and screen ings the pull was increased to about 90 pounds. About 65 pounds were needed for hauling on water-bound macadam and on bituminous concrete laid on top of cement concrete. On good gravel roads a pull of 65 to 82 pounds was needed, while on loose gravel the pull was 263 pounds, the highest record in any of the tests. About 80 pounds were required for hauling on bitumln- ous macadam. On earth roads 92 pounds were required for hauling over a good surface covered with 1 F inches of loose dust, 99 pounds over an ordi-

nary dirt road with dust inches deep in places, and 21S pounds over a muddy earth road.
 The significance of these figures lies in the fact that on a good earth road it is necessary to exert three times the pull that is required on a con- crete road, and nearly twice the pull required on a macadam road. Fur thermore, when the earth road be- comes muddy, a condition which does not affect traffic on good pavements, the pull is more than doubled.

ROADS INDEX OF CHARACTER
Determine Importance of Country Limiting or Aiding It's Advance
 Should Be Built.

The roads are an index of the char acter of any country, determining it's importance and limiting or aiding it's advance. A country that isn't worth a good road isn't worth what it's land sells for and soon won't be worth liv- ing in. No community that has ever improved its roads, has ever regretted it, for road improvement is a good in- vestment for any community. Since the roads are for all the people, they should be built by all the people-with state and federal aid.

Late one afternoon Jane found the doctor waiting for her in her sitting room when she returned from a lonely walk. A smile of keen pleasure was on his face as he greeted her: 'T've found your newest purchase" he eX- claimed.
 Jane bent dawn to life-sized Japa- nese doll that squatted patiently on a yellow silk cushion, it's painted black eyes looking out appealingly at her as it stretched two brown, plump arms to her.
 'Isn't it adorable" she said. tI've seen those babies in the windows of Japanese shops for months, and final ly I couldn't resist the temptation. If there were only real youngsters in the house I might have got along without it. I don't suppose people that have babies ever live in boarding houses. I wish they did; but I suppose they would disturb the other boarders.
 The doctor looked on with a degree of fascination and surprise that might have amazed Jane were she not so intent at gazing at the ifelike Japa- nese doll. She planted a kiss on it's plump porcelain cheek. Ugh" she said with a shudder. "It looks like a real baby, but it isn't a bit satisfac- tory when it comes to kissing.'
 When the doctor went to his apart ment a little later it was with glad ness in his heart and quick step. Moreover, his idea of Jane had been altered in one important particular. The next afternoon he managed to make his way into the Dawson House with a large bundle, and when Jane returned to her sitting room after her stroll she found him already in pos session there, as he had been the day before. He came to the door when he heard her coming and carefully closed it behind her.
 When he turned to look at Jane she had dropped to her knees before the yellow cushion and was planting a kiss on the cheek of the little bundle of plump humanity that was seated there.
 ''Where did it come from?" she cried, and then she clasped the little plump live baby in her arms and proved to the doctor that even a bEsi-

the costume beneath was perfectly

are becoming experts in knitting now
and the new hand-knit sweaters are
beautiful in stitch and so closely
knitted that one cannot see through
them. The purled stitch gives a closer
effect also, and purling is the craze
Just now. Some sweaters are purled
throughout, a stitch plain and a stitch
pured; this gives a handsome, ribbed
surface which is much more effective
than the old-style plain knitting done
on large needles and with thin Wor-
sted. The mohair yarns are delight

dom for the arms. The brushed mo-
hair wool sweaters and caps in dark,
rich colors are very warm and ex-
ceedingly smart but they are rather
high-priced for average little folks.
The small boy in the picture wears
a splendid sweater that is sporty and
athletic enough in style to please any
little chap, 1t IS Khaki brown in color
and is of heavy wool in close ribbed
stitch with snug collar and buttons set
near enough together to keep the
fronts from gaping open. Such a
sweater is best bought ready-made un-
less the mother is a very expert knit
ter. The close ribbed stitch will take
long time to do by hand and the
shaped collar may offer complications.

that are being made for soldiers and
sailors are liked by small boys Of coat

sleeveless sweater is not ruch use
to u very small boy who when he
needs the protection at ali, needs it
over his arms. Slip-ons for little girls,
by the same token, should have
sleeves. The child dons a sweater
of this sort indoors when the house is
not sufficiently warm and If the little
arms in their thin lawn sleeves are
not protected, the slip-on does very
little good. An admirable slip-on for
