FIRST TO USE "CAMOUFLAGE"
American Indians Early Recognized
the Value Of Simple Devices
for Misleading an Enemy.

That the art Of camouflage rs now
practiced in Europe is an American
institution and originated by the
American Indians, was recently prov
ed to the driver of a touring car which
crossed the country.
A SQuaw, reported to be over a
hundred years old and TO have lived
In the days when the white man was
q common enemy, through an Indian
interpreter explained how the Indian
children we're taught To place flowers
In their hair as well as twigS, leaves
and other bits of foliage, and were
able to move along the ground in
such a Stealthy manner that they were
not diScernible TO the rest of the tribe.
Before q young buck could become
qualified as a warrior he had to make
his approach to the Indian camp al
most in the midst of the assembled
warriors without being detected. The
real origin of paint on their faces. rs
well as on their wigwams and horses,
as claimed by authority, was for the
purpose of making them blend in with
rocks, trees and dirt, so that they could
approach their prey or remain hidden
without detection.

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 plain-the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation hat 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 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 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.

Reoinald Remembered,

During the delivery of an address
Congressman ]. Hampton Moore re-
ferred to the beauty Of having a re-
tentive memory and contributed this
little anecdote:
"While instructing a class of young
sters in mythology n afternoon the
teacher of a public school told the
class the story of the phoenix. Among
the pupils was a small boy named Reg
inald.
"'Reginald,' said the teacher on the
following morning, do you remember
what l was speaking about yesterday
afternoon?'
"'Yes, ma'am,' promptly responded
Reginald, 4 remember all right

about it.

Gang" They found a cave in one of the many nearby hills, stole a few
chairs and a table. and then decided 10 take a few meals there, reports a cor
RESPONDENT of the Baltimore American.
There would be no excitement in just asking their mothers for the meal
so they decided to get their own meals. They raided a few ice boxes, taking
bread and butter and other things.
At one of these raids they trod on wal gardens. 1t all ended when one
of their bonfres caused q forest fire, and they were arrested. Their parents
paid the fine.
Now, these boys re not bad, only young lovers of excitement. II the
Juvenile officers would have q man take charge of them and Use the same
ave a. a clubhouse, the boys would become better citizens. But the juvenile
officers played their hand wrong. Those boys will become great lovers Of
excitement, and become more desperate to get it. The juvenile officers will
have a regular Job when the boys start in.
