old PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
It is that so many products that are cx.
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-thc article did not fulfil
the promises Of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a 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 DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
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 l know Of
has so large a sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DIR.
Kilmers' SwampRoot is due to the fact
that, so many people claim, it fulfils al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur-
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcel Post Address

WHY NOT UTILIZE YOUR
Germans Eat Sea Weeds.

Germany is, despite its contrary
claims, getting desperate for food. A
recent issue of the international Re-
view Of Science and Practice Of Agri-
culture announces that the Prussians
are eating seaweed as one Of the food
substitutes. They boil the ill-smelling
water growth and disguise II in cakes,
hoping to derive the unquestioned nour-
ishmcnt which it possesses without be-
Ing too conscious of it. Rhubarb leaves
are also used now. Wheat and oats
straw is ground, sugar beet seeds are
made into meal. Nuts from the forest
are collected and made into flour.
Grape seeds are saved and ground
also. Countless weeds from the fields
are cut, dried and boiled in soup.

their flights at the front. Several
pigeons are shown painted in camou-
