Lumber Will Go Higher.

Chicago.-Charles s. Keith of Kan.
sas City, president of the Southern
Pine Association and widely known as
a statistical authority Of lumber, told
the legislative commission investigat-
ing the high prices of building mate
rials that the present price of lumber
is lower than it will be at any time in
five years. He said the increased cost
of production, depletion of raw mate
rial in this country and the enormous
increased demand from Europe to re-
build the vast areas devastated by
war are certain to mean higher prices
for lumber for at least five years.

Thousands upon thousands of women

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 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 respondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, 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,

them. By enclosing ten cents to DIR.

Old People Not So Fond of

fond of other old people. If you have

Old men seek young wives and old
women seek young husbands. There
is a link to life in having youth about.

firmary have bestowed much unneces-
sary sympathy because these old peo-
pie were removed from their home,
where it was $50 nice and quiet" But
it is not the old people who are COM

Cosmetic Pedler Finds Eager

If they ever did like to be pretty,
they wish 1t more than before as old
age comes on. A cosmetic peddler
finds eager customers in an old ladies'
home. Appetite may have failed, but
rather than candy or custards in the
roof of their poor mouths, would they
like some magic to take the brown
spots off their faces, or to make the
gray hair more thickly, for "it comes
out so in the summer, around the part
ing place, and 1t never used to-"
There is a true story of dear old
lady. She had long been widow, and
never had children. but kept little
store, near a school. where the chill
dren spent one penny after another,
for sweets and the like. All her trade
was in pennies, and when 1t came to
closing out and selling her good
will" the most that she could ask for
this spiritual commodity was 5000
exactly the sum needed for entrance
into this quiet pleasing "home," which
is really a beautiful place. The old
stone house, once tavern" in Lewis
and Clark days, is set far back from
Broadway, so that great beds of sweet
williams and asters may flourish, with
bright verbenas. and background o.
tansy and tiger lilies and bouncing
