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 PLAINTIFF 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, a
preparation l 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 fulfills 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

New Orleans French.

Negro troops from Louisiana have
a linguistic advantage over other
American soldiers. Many of them,
through living in sections where
French still is spoken, are more or
less familiar with the language of this
land when they get here. But they
have their. difficulties, nevertheless.

Heads Corporation Controlled En-.
tireIy by Her Sex.
Operates Garnet Mine in Alaska and
Lead, Zinc and Silver Mines
in Arizona.

New York-From the far West
there now comes to US the lady miner,
Miss Anna Durkee, organizer and con.
trolling element of a $1000,000 cor
poration run entirely by women. Miss
Durkee operates garnet mine In
southern Alaska and lead, zinc and sill
yer mines in Arizona. She is the lar
gest individual mine owner in the Dat
man district of Arizona, and the most
widely known woman in the mining
world.
1t was while she was in Alaska seven
years ago, investigating proposition
in copper, that Miss Durkee first be-
came interested in a garnet mine, was
given an option on it and finally took
it over in the name of a corporation
which had board of 10 women direc-
tors.
At the beginning the mine did not
seem to amount to u great deal, but
as Miss Durkee began to develop the
first claim with which the corporation
started, veins were discovered opening
out in every direction, and as the work
continued the amazing fact dawned
that the entire mountain was a gigan-
tic mine of the beautiful crystals, with
lodges of garnets extending from the
sea level to a distance of $500 feet
up the mountain side.
But the greatest value of the deposit
consists in a by-product of garnet
waste, discovered by Miss Durkee
who passed two years in chemical
laboratory working it out. She had

LONG IN HOLY CITY
American Resident of Jerusalem
for Many Years.
M. M. WheIan First to Welcome Brit
ish Troops When They Entered
Was Representative There
of the Bible Society.

Although it is year since Allenby's
and the greatest Christian shrine in
the world was wrested forever from
the clutches of the infidel Turk, one of
the most striking episodes of all those
that marked that entry has only re-
Gently become known.
To Americans this episode is of
especial interest, since it came as the
climax of perhaps the most picturesque
of all the many services that have
been rendered by the allied nations,
and to humanity generally, by individ-
ual Americans, from Gerard and Brand
Whitlock down, since the beginning of
the war.
For nearly three years, or from
early in 1915 until the deliverance of
Jerusalem in December, 1917, one of
the oldest and most famous of British
organizations remained in unblissful
ignorance as to what had become of
It's depot" in the Holy City. This or.
ganization is the British and Foreign
Bible society, which like It's great SIS
ter organization in the United States,
exists for the purpose of distributing
the Good Book among Christians in
every part of the world.
In February, 1915, or soon after
Turkey threw in her lot with the CEN
trail powers, the Bible society's depot
In Jerusalem, which contained many
thousands of volumes, had to be aban-
doned hastily. The workers there
were brought to Egypt on an American
warship. From that day until quite re-
Gently nothing whatever was known re
garding the fate of the depot or its
contents. 1t was assumed that both
had probably been destroyed by the
Turks, But then came a letter from
the society's secretary at Port Said in
closing one from the commander of
the London Scottish, the first British
regiment to enter the Holy City. In
this officers letter the striking story
was told of how a venerable American
resident of Jerusalem, by name NJ. NJ.
Whelan, came forward spontaneously
after the abandonment of the Bible
society's depot, took up his residence
therein and courageously "carriel on"
as its custodian.
at may interest you to know" this
officer wrote, that as l entered Jeru.
salem with the first troops, l was met
by quaint old American, named Whe-
Ian, seventy years of age, who told me
he represented the Bible society, and
presented me with beautiful copy of
the Scriptures"
Beyond the fact that NJ. NJ Whelan
is a naturalized Irish citizen of the
United States, and that he had been
living in Jerusalem for several years
before the war, little is known by the
Bible society at present regarding the
picturesque character to whom it owes
so great debt of gratitude. 1t is not
even known from what part of the
United States he comes. The society
has, however, received a photograph
of its venerable American benefactor,
which shows him to be a truly patri-
archal type.

Lights Beautify Garden.

The terrace in front of large laun-
dry plant has been beautified with a
peculiarly beautiful sign which is the
combined product of an electricians
and a gardeners skill. Each letter
is outlined in electric bulbs set in a
sheet metal frame which is painted
white on the inside to reflect the
light.
In the area inclOsed by each metal
letter geraniums have been planted.
The sign is very beautiful by day, and
doubly so at night when the lights
illuminate the flowers, according to
Popular Mechanics Magazine The
electric bulbs are covered with ordi-
nary jelly glasses, to protect the flow
ers from the heat and the bulbs from
the weather.

Those of us who are past middle age
are prone to eat too much meat and in
consequence deposit lime-salts in the
arteries, veins and joints. We often
suffer from twinges of rheumatism or
lumbago, sometimes from govt, swollen
hands or feet. There is no longer the
slightest need of this, however, as the
new prescription, "Anuric," is bound
to give immediate results as it is many
times more potent than hthia, in Kidding

by way of the kidneys. 1t can be OBJ
tanned at almost any drug store, by
simply asking for uAnuric" for kidneys
or backache. 1t will overcome such
conditions as rheumatism, dropsical
swellings, cold extremities, scalding and
burning urine and sleeplessness due to
constant arising from bed at night. 4,

DRAFT BOARDS TO
USE JUDGMENT
Major Murdock Says Anti
Alien League Is For
Members

Major W. G. Murdoch, chief draft
off1cer, who has been asked by a
number of members of draft boards
IN Pennsylvania as to whether they
should become members of an or
ganization being formed under au-
spices of some northwestern boards
relative to aliens and employment,
that they should not become con-
nected officially. What the mem
bers do they must be in accord with
their own individual judgment, says
he. a draft board as such can only
take cognizance of things pertaining
to the draft.
Members of boards have received
circulars from the associated boards
or Seattle and King county, Wash
ingto, which formed an organiza-
ton to deport aliens who had claim
ed exemption from military service.
The western men say that the eX-
emption of aliens was the most exas-
perating experience of the boards
and denounce the conduct of aliens
who are charged with not being will
ing to bear any burdens and that
many still retain good places to the
exclusion of returned soldiers.
Another matter mentioned in the
circular from Seattle refers to the
prohibition of immigration and
urges that it be stopped for a period
of years and that members of draft
boards use their combined influence
against it.
