! Service Flags | Indeed.

It is an honor to any home to fly a Service flag. Just one blue star on a field of red and white tells all too
 plainly story of love and family pride. of courage and devotion to duty, which makes rus feel like taking off our hats to that home-be 1t an hum' ble cottage or stately mansion.
 But a service flag bearing three stafs!--there are not many such Ill

Pritchard of Fifth avenue and Pine street are the honored possessors of such an em- blem Three stalwart sons have gone from this home in response to their countrys call, and all three are splen' did specimens of physical manhood. Henry, the eldest, si feeXt five in ches tall tall, was among the very first contingent to reach France. He has already been in the "thick of the fight, and is today in an allied hospi- tai recovering from wounds received in action, and also recuperating from l the effects of terrific gas attack.

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 fulfill the promises of
the manufa cturer. This applies more
particularly to a m edicine A medi-
cinal preparation that has real cura-
tive 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, preparation I have sold for
many years and never hesitate to rec
ommend for in almost every case it
shows excellent results, as many of
my customers testify. No other kid
ney remedy that I know Of has so
large a. sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who
have used the preparation, the sue
cess Of DR.. Kilmer's Swami Root Is
due to the fact that, so many people
claim, 1t fulflls almost every wish in
overcoming kidney, liver and bladder
ailments, corrects urinary troubles
and neutralizes the uric acid which
causes rheumatism
You may receive q sample bottle
of Swamp Root by Parcels Post. Ad-
dress DIR. Kilmer & Co. Binghamton,
n. Y, and enclose ten cents; also
mention the New Britain Daily Her
aid. Large and medium size bottles
