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 so many homes. The
symptoms of grip this year are often very
distressing and leave the system in run
down condition, particularly the kidneys
which seem to suffer most, as almost every
victim complains of lame back and urin-
airy troubles which should not be neglect
ed, as these danger signals often lead to
dangerous kidney troubles. Druggists
report a 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 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.
UNI and large size bottles, for sale at
all druggists. Be sure to mention this

Mr. j. J. Hissey, in his book 1.-THE

story:
A parson was quietly seated in his
study when one Of his male parish

a baby.
"Parson," De says, "as the law tells !
must give you one-tenth of all ! pro-
duce, here's my tenth child" and with

Winter Care of Bush Fruit.

Bush fruits In the city gardens and
on the farm should be pruned during
the fall or winter In order to increase
the yield of berries next summer. The
period between the falling of the
leaves in autumn and the starting Of
growth in spring is the season in
which currants and gooseberries
should be pruned. The ideal currant
bush, at which the primer should aim
has six to eight main branches, while
the gooseberry has eight to twelve.
None of these branches should be over
three years old. Two or three of the
main branches Of the currant and
three to four main branches of the
gooseberry should be removed each
season, the older branches being cut
out and like number of the most Wig
orous canes of the current seasons
growth left to take their place. All
other young canes and all canes bent
to or near the ground should also be
removed. If this system is followed
each year after the bushes reach the
age of three years, pruning will be
relatively simple and the plantation
kept in good condition.
Usually no pruning Is given either
raspberry or blackberry bushes, but
in the North where low temperatures
and drying winds prevail, the canes,
or branches, should be bent over, care
being taken not to break them, and
covered with soil to a depth Of two or
three inches. This should be done as
late as possible, yet before the ground
becomes frozen. Uncover the canes
in the spring before the buds start. All
the weaker canes, as well as stronger
ones not needed for the crop the fol-
lowing season, should be removed be-
fore the others are covered. In the
spring If the canes of the raspberry are
long and are not to be supported by
stakes or trellls, the ends should be
cut back. If cut back to height Of
three feet, the canes should be able to
support their crop, keeping the berries
out Of the dirt. Sometimes when the
canes are slender it will be necessary
to cut them back to two and one-half
feet in length. The side branches Of
the blackberries are usually pruned
back in early spring.

Stamps Replace Pennies in Stores.
In view of the increasing shortage
of pennies, movement to give post
age stamps as change has been in
augurated in Minneapolis department
stores. Several stores reported that
they had started such a plan and that
it was working successfully. Shortage
of pennies in the Northwest has be-
come so acute that bankers in small
towns have declared an embargo on
coppers, according to Minneapolis
bankers. Repeated pleas to the sub
treasury In Chicago have been made
by local banks, but their requests for
pennies have met with little or no re-
sponse.-Minneapolis Tribune.

should place their orders In ample
