Important to all Women
Readers Of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-
BILE and may be despondent; it makes any
one 30.
But hundreds of women claim that Dr..
Kilmer's SwampRoot, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp-Root, the great kidney,
liver and bladder medicine, will do fol
them. By enclosing ten cents to Dr..
kilmer & Co., Binghamton. N. Y. you
may receive sample size bottle by Parcel

Not to give the children of today
the best educational advantages it is
possible to provide will inevitably
neutralize to a great degree the sue
cess Of all the hopedfor achievements
which the coming generation must
direct. Investing in schools is in
vesting in trained intellectual man
hood and womanhood. To be train
ed wrong is even worse than not be-
ing trained at all. Both are unpar-
donable sins at the door of any en-
lightened people. We can do no
better than spend less public money
for a good many other things in or
der to be able to spend more for the
improvement of our public schools.
Improved schools are more matter
of better teachers than any other
one factor, and better teachers will
come when better pay is assured
those who qualify themselves to
teach.
