OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that SO many products that are ex.
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF 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 I 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 | 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 fulfls 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
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

Among the Chinese there has exist
ed for ages passion for fireworks and
lanterns. In every city, at every port
and on every river and canal, as soon
as night comes on, the lanterns make
their appearance. They are hung out
at the door of every dwelling; they
swing as pendants to the angles of the
pagoda; they form the fiery crown Of
every shop front; they cluster round
the houses of the rich and light up

The hardened malefactor stood upon

Then She Understood.

An American soldier in France was
given a fork but no knife when he sat
down to dinner In a French restaur-
ant. He held up the fork, and
"Camerade, camerade," he said.
"Ah, out, out" said the waitress,
dashing off. to the kitchen, to return
with another fork.
Here was a poser for the soldier. He
spent moment in deep thought, then
beckoned TO the waitress. With the
air of a Christopher Columbus, he
pointed again to the fork.
"Fiance, fiance," said he.
That time he got the knife.-Inter

YOUR RED CROSS
An Army WithoM a Gun
By MEREDITH NICHOLSON
Of the Vigantes

THE Red Cross is the greatest instrument of
mercy the world has ever seen. Noble as the
service of mercy and helpfulness was in Civil War
days. the Red Cross surpasses it UNNECESSARILY not
only in the range and variety of it's effort, but in
efficiency and effectiveness.
The Red Cross is. may say, the arms of the
mothers of the world reached out to their sons to
bind up their wounds and comfort them The Red
Cross is an army acifhont gun that wages war
only upon suffering and heartache. Where the
flag of the stars goes there the banner of the Red
Cross must fly beside it. We watch our boys go
forth to with spirit of hopefulness because we
know that this great agency of humanity presses
close behind Them that it's work is not incidental
but the intelligent directed effort of one of the
most marvellous organizations ever contrived by
American genius.
We have all contributed to the Red Cross; we
shall be called upon again to contribute to it's
funds,-agan and perhaps again And we will
respond again and yet again! For this is war for
the defense of civilization and we of great free,
splendid, glorious America, have every intention
that it shall be fought with the army of the Red
Cross solidly supporting soldiers.
