II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

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 fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
IN 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 / 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 has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact
SO many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle Of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DIR. 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.

ANDREW CARNEGIE is DEAD
Final illness Was Matter of But Z
Few DAYS.

Lenox, Mass, Aug 12.-In his great
mansion overlooking "a lake in the
beautiful Berkshire, where he sought
seclusion when bodily infirmity over
took him and his mind was saddened
by the entrance of his country into
the war, Andrew Carnegie, millionaire
philanthropist, died. Although he had
been in feeble health for more than
two years, his final illness was brief

veloped quickly into bronchial pneu-
monia, the aged patient lapsed into
Inconsistencies and the end came as
though it was but the beginning of a

SHIMMY NATURE IS UNCHANGED; SAME
 OLD CLINCH IN 15SS

Everybody shimmeies now O, sister, won't you teach he how ?"
 Hear that saxaphone! Hear those flutes! Hear those trombones chute the chutes! Listen to the harmony Boy, that's jazz! Watch 'em shimmy! Ain't it raz-ma-taz?
 It's brand new. Yes, indeed, only some 400 years old. Yep, back in the enlightened sixteenth century they were doing this modern dance-and no doubt the reformers were reform ing open then.
 Prof. Louis Kretlow, who has taught dancing for sixty-three years--most- ly in evening clothes, rubber collar, woolen socks, and a constantly in- creasing beard--gave hint of the shimmy's age Sunday afternoon, on reading the latest news fIom Lon don
 T.rs was an at. cm eining The RetEt rs,' whicn gives the lady and thf gent an oppo,t11,.y to show tkeir friendship. And the lady may also show spicy bit of chiffon.
 "The dances haven't really chang ed," Prof. Kretlow said. "Not since the monk Thoinot Arbeau wrote a book about them in 1588. The dances were the same and the positions iden- tical with those of the present day. Arbeau knew the shimmy, but called it The Death Dance.,"
 The professor, who was born in 45, was teaching the latest steps when Milwaukee was a trading post. It was mostly the reel and the jig at that time, and in the most exciting sets the gentleman touched only his partners finger tips. It was the day of the paptalette and the hoopskirt.
 In 1865 the pantalette was discard ed, and the hoop was unhooped-be- cause it hindered. In 1885 society leader appeared at Chicago Charity ball with a bit of lace where high collar should have been. She pro- duced sensation. In 1900 puffed sleeves were done away with, and trains were untracked. A modest yoke appeared in the necks of gowns. And last Friday night, at the last Chicago Charity ball, the train had come back-but it was a train that could be easily lifted from the floor; and there were no sleeves or yokes or backs-that is, there were no backs in the gowns.

The Funniest Thing That Ever Hap.

was just about to close church services one Sunday morning when one of the deacons advised me that one of our dear sisters had just died. A moment later young man of the neighborhood approached with mar riage license and asked me to perform the marriage ceremony for him and Miss Alice Jones, who was also present. Being somewhat frustrated, l announced to the audience that the contracting parties, naming same, were present and if it would be in- dulgent few minutes, would preach their funeral sermons. Seeing my mistake, a cold sweat enveloped' my face. l secured my handkerchief and, fumbling it absent mindedly, spread it out before my hearers. And there through it's center was, a ragged hole as big as my fist. To say was ebarrassed is putting it mildly; but I now look back or it as the funniest thing that ever happened in my life. l am sure by the way the audience acted, it also thought so then.
