Shin of the Desert.

Because Of it's peculiar swaying mo-
ton in walking, the camel has been
called the ship of the desert" This
title may also have some reference to
the extreme stupidity and passivity OF
the animal, says Popular Science
Monthly, which submits to great
loads, which 1t will often carry for
days at time without stopping for
food or drink, with no more urging
than a ship would require from the
hands of its pilot.
The manner in which the drivers
hobble the camels when they stop for
a rest is interesting. They do not de-
pend upon stakes driven in the deep,
yielding sand, but simply double back
and tie one end of the forelegs of The
animal. so that it can lie down or rise
up, but cannot move from the spot.

OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
.ensively 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 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
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 sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

down there and take a look at them.
She managed to pull Blue down to
stiff legged jumps and then to walk
Finally she stopped him, so that she
could the better take in her surround
incs and the possibilities of getting
down.
Blue had caught sight of the moving
specks far down next the river and up
the stream half a mile or more. He
was cow-horse to the bone. He knew
those far-off specks for cattle, and he
knew that his lady would like a closer
look at them.
Blue chose his trail and crumpied
at the knees with his hoofs on the very
edge of the ledge; went down with a
cat-jump and landed with all four feet
planted close together. He had no
mind to go on sliding in spite of him
self, and the bluff was certainly steep
enough to excuse bungle.
1t was with distinct air of triumph
that Blue reached the bottom, even
though he slid the last forty feet on
his launches and landed belly-deep In
a soft snowbank. 1t was with triumph
to match his perky ears that Billy Lou

after. Billy Louise left the reins upon
his neck. Blue could handle cattle
alone quite as skillfully as with a
rider, if he chose.

You probably get more real war news

hard struggle. but have not the slight
est doubt about winnig. Just n little
more time and all will be well.
How are things back there with you
all? Guess business is a little dull
now owing to the spring seasons fast

any news that you think might be of
interest to me. You know am al
