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 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 DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root, .
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that I know Of
has SO large 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 fulfils al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects urs
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

AS the early spring twilight fell. the
gas lamps along the alice, always burn

ahead. At the end, even as the van

red, white, and blue lights, rising high
In the air, outlining the crags and
peaks of the sheet iron mountain
which was his destination. The land

There came to his ears, too, the oc-
casional rumble that told Of some pal
plating soul being at that moment
hurled and twisted and joyously
thrilled, as per the l~ieutenant's descrip-
ton.
Now it is a strange thing, but true,
that one does not reach the land of
desire alone; because the half of
pleasure is the sharing of it with some
one else, and the land of desire, alone,
is not the land of desire at all. Quite
suddenly, Prince Ferdinand William
Otto discovered that he was lonely. AT
that moment there was a soft whirring
off to one side of him, and a yellow
bird, rising and falling erratically on
the breeze, careened suddenly and fell
at his feet.
Prince Ferdinand William Otto bent
down and picked 1t up. 1t was a small
toy aeroplane, with yellow silk planes,
guy ropes of waxed thread, and a
wooden rudder, it's motive power
vested in a tightly twisted rubber. One

filled with roaring noises and swift

Above the roaring of the wind in

anybody?"
But Hedwig's lieutenant had wheeled
his horse without a word, and, jump
ing him over the hedge of the alice,
was off in a ~despairing search of the
outskirts of the park, followed by his
cavalrymen.
AS the last horse leaped the hedge
and disappeared, the car came to a
stop at the platform. Quivering,
Prince Ferdinand William Otto reached
down for the despised hat.
"Would you like to go around
again?" asked Bobby, quite casually.
His highness gasped with joy. "If

The old man turned his head. Just
inside stood a very dirty small boy.

the very back of his head he had tn,
smallest cap that Prince Ferdinand
William Otto had ever seen.
'This is the best time for flying
he said, in his perfect English. cal
the exhibition flights are at sundown.'
The boy walked slowly over and
stood looking down at him. "You ought
to see it fly from the top of Pixies
Peak |" he remarked. He had caught
sight of the despised derby, and his
eyes widened, but with instructive
good breeding he ignored it. 'That's
Pixies Peak up there"
He indicated the very top of the land
of desire. The prince stared up.
"How does one get up?" he queried

found the fact much more remarkable

he stopped. He must, of course, ask
the strange boy to be his guest. But

was not sufficient.

he said with dignity.
The other boy laughed. ooh, gee

toward the towering lights.
For Bobby Thorpe to bring a small
boy to ride with him was an everyday
affair. Billy Grimm, at the ticket win
dow, hardly glanced at the boy who
stood, trembling with anticipation, in
the shadow of the booth.
The car came, and they climbed In.
Perhaps, as they moved off, Prince
Ferdinand William Otto had a qualm,
occasioned by the remembrance of the
English child who had met an III
timely end; but If he did, he pluckily
hid 1t.
"Put your lid on the floor of the car"
said Bobby Thorpe, depositing his own
atom there. "Father says, if you do

Prince Ferdinand William Otto d.
