Old PRESCRIPTION
FOR Weak KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products
that are extensively 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 med
icine. A medicinal preparation that
has curative value almost sells it
self. as like an endless chain sys-
TEN the remedy is recommended
by those who have been benefited,
10 those who are in need of it
A prominnt druggist says Take
for example Dr. kilmer's Swamp
Root, preparation l have sold for
many years and never hesitate to
recommend, for in almost every
case it shows excellent results, as
many of my customers testify. No
other kidney remedy that | know of
has so large a sale"
According to sworn statements
and verified testimony of thousands
who have used the preparation, the
success Of DR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is due to the fact that. so
many people claim, it fulflls almost
every wish in overcoming kidney.
liver and bladder ailments, cor
reefs urinary troubles and neutral

rheumatism.

ON EASTERN TIME

Orlando, Nov. 5.-Orlando to be
added to the list Of progressive
Florida Cities If adopting eastern
time, which now seems to be In
vogue, is the principal by which
"progTessiveness" Is measured, for
the City fathers passed a resolution
calling upon merchants and citizens
in general to advance their clocks
one hour at midnight last Saturday.
Mayor Giles who keeps his finger
on the public's pulse saw that such
a move was desired by ninety per
cent Of the citizens OF Orlando and
introduced resolution at the coun-
Gil meeting requesting the change.
It was voted on favorably by Com.
Branham, but Com. Clark Robinson
was not in favor Of the change and
voted In the negative.
Mayor Giles in presenting the reso-
luton to the council said that he had
taken into consideration the saving
(which would be made to the bust

Electricity for lighting purposes. He
said the day light saving plan had
been adopted by congress and that II
had proved such a success that the
general public was loath to change

CONDUCT AT vERDuN

With the French Armies, Nov. A.
A carrier pigeon was one of the he
roes Of the most striking episodes Of
the battle Of verdun. During the
siege of the fort of Vaud Camman-
dant Raynal had no other means of
communicating with the exterior.
During the fierse fighting around the
Thiaumont farm, contradictory re-
ports reached the rear as to the oc-
cupation of the position. The car
rier pigeon was the only means by
which the officers in command could
learn the exact situation.
While the Germans were making
one of their strongest attacks, all
the telephone lines were destroyed
and the enemys curtain fire made
the use of couriers impossible. Re-
Inducements were required to hold
position with no means Of commun-
ication with the rear until Lieuter
ant Colonel Girardin sent sewers
pigeons back to the headquartel
where they arrived in twenty-fiy
minutes and the achievements were
promptly sent up.

effort to take the position of Froid.

there, was cut off from the rear. Al
nine o'clock in the morning he sent q
pigeon back to announce that the
enemy was within 500 yards of the
works. At ten o'clock he announced
by the same means that the position
was surrounded by the enemy. Al
eleven he informed the staff that the
situation was critical but that the
garrison would fight TO the last man
Thus kept In touch with the situation
the staff was able to take steps that
resulted in the breaking of the line
around the position.
