Oldest Living Woman.

In the city of Posen, in the German
province of the same name, the oldest
woman in the world is about to enter
upon her one hundred thirty-fourth
year of her life, unless death has over
come her since the receipt of the latest
news from that part of Europe. She
is Frau Gretchen Dutkiewitz, and she
has spent practically all her life in
Posen. She was young woman when
Napoleon and his legions swept like
conflagration over Europe, and has
lived to see a similar catastrophe en-
gulf almost the entire civilized world.
Frederick the Great was still alive
when Frau Dutkiewitz was born, and
only few years before Voltaire had
gone to his rest. The German empire
of today was then an aggregation of
petty, warning states, and the Ameri-
can Union had just been born out of
the travail of revolution. These cen
turies-the eighteenth, the nine
teenth and the twentieth-this woman

her lifetime n new civilization has
sprung up in Europe and America,
civilization now in the balance, and
threatened by the land which gave her
birth.-New York World.

ON GUARD

At this time of the year people feel
weak, tired, listless, their blood is thin,
they have lived indoors and perhaps
expended all their mental and bodily
energy and they want to know how to
renew their energy and stamina, over
come headaches and backaches, have
clear eyes, a smooth, ruddy skin, and
feel the exhllaratlon of real good health
tingling thru their body. Good, pure,
rich, red blood Is the best insurance
against ills of all kinds. Almost all
diseases come from impure and impov-
erished blood. 1t is to be noticed in the
pale or pimply face, the tired, haggard
appearance or the listless manner.
Drink hot water a half hour before
meals, and for vegetable tonic there's
nothing better than DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, the old-fashioned
herbal remedy, which has had such
fine reputation for fifty years. 1t con-

AN ATTACK OF GRIP
USUALLY LEAVES KIDNEYS
IN WEAKENED CONDITION

Doctors in all parts of the country have
been kept busy with the epidemic of grip
which has visited 30 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 urin-
ary troubles which should not be neglect
ed, as these danger signals often lead to
dangerous kidney troubles. Druggists
report large sale on DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root which so many people say
soon heals and strengthens the kidneys
after an attack of grip. Swamp-Root,
being an herbal compound, has a gentle
healing effect on the kidneys, which is al
most Immediately noticed in most cases
by those who try it. DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y, offer to send a sam
pie size bottle of Swamp Root, on receipt
of ten cents, to every sufferer who re-
quests it. A trial will convince anyone
who may be in need of it. Regular medi.
um and large size bottles, for sale at
all druggists. Be sure to mention this
