to death half clad in less than fifteen
minutes after the steamer struck the

many of the victims.
Directed by the officers and crew,
who never for a moment forgot the
best traditions of the sea in looking
after their passengers, those who es-

now appears to be right for reversing

extent than ever before and it remains
for the practical men and women to
work out substantial success. With
these facts in mind, and after care
fully considering opportunities and

to acquire land and become farmers.
1t is feasible for city men and women
to take land and engage in farming.
If they apply to agriculture those
principles which make for success in
common affairs they will succeed on
the land. It is brains, good manage

MAKE APPEAL TO APPETITE
Food Materials Which Are of Little Real Value Have Distinct
 Place on Table.

Not all food materials are said to be valuable in proportion to the appeal which they make to the appetite. For example, the flavor substances in foods which stimulate the olfactory and gus tatory nerves, and thus give rise to appetite, are not ordinarily the sub- stances on which the body depends for it's fuel, nor for the great bulk of it's building materials. The latter mate rials-proteins, fats or oils and car bohydrates-When chemically pure, have little or no taste or smell. The preference for thin and crisp rather than greasy bacon is given as an il- lustration.
 In a recent experiment it was found that of the 129 calories which repre- sent the fuel value of very thin 20 gm. (three-fourths ounee) slice, only nine caIories remained when the slice was sent to the table, 120 calo- ries being represented by the fat which fried out" into the pan. In this case a considerable amount of flavor body also goes into the fat, yet most persons would not consider eating it unless it has been skillfuliy blended with large quantities of other foods; whereas the scrap of skeleton tissue which has lost 93 per cent of it's food value is regard ed as a dainty morsel.

OLD PRESCRIPTION
 FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why 1t 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 medicine. A medicinal preparation tha 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 1 know of has so large q sale"
 According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmers' SwampRoot is due to the fact that, so many people claim, it fulfils 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 Large and medium size bottles for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.
