CURIOUS IDEAS ABOUT GOLF
Some of Them, That Have Been Pre-
served, Will Be Appreciated by
DeVotees of the Game.

Twenty years ago the majority of
women knew nothing about golf. and
many good anecdotes are still told of
some of the curious ideas they had
regarding the game. One lady, max
ing sympathetic conversation at dim
ner, said to an enthusiastic golfer.
81 often see you in your red coat.
Do you need many dogs to play gOlf?"
A younger lady said she knew ex-
actly how the game was played.
"They get what they call caddies
to hunt about in the grass till they
find a round stone, and then they
hit it into a rabbit hole"
A third lady, who had evidently en-
joyed a nearer view of the game, said {:
"It is played by two men. One is
a gentleman and the other is a COM
mon man. The common man sticks
a ball on a lump of dirt, and the gen.
tleman knocks it off"

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

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 plain-the article did not fulfill
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 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 has so large .
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DIR.
kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
50 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 a sample bottle of
SwampRoot by Parcels 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.

thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain eitro.phosphate
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Viger
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose of making
thin people fleshy, developing arms, neck
and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
OF men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinneSs.
Thinness and weakness are usually due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so we'll as
the organic phosphate known among drug
giStS as bitro-phoSphate, which is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under a guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. BY feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the neces-
sary phosphoric food elements. bitro-phos-
plate quickly produces a welcome trans
formation in the appearance; the increase
in weight frequently being astonishing.
This increase in weight also carries with
1t a general improvement in the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack OF
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinnesS, soon disappear, dun
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION: - Although bitro-phosphats
is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness.
sIeeplessness and general weakness, it
should not, owing to its remarkable flesh
growing properties, be used by anyone
who does not desire to put on flesh

Merely Changed Music,

How bands were once sometimes re-
cruited for the navy is suggested by
an old tale of maritime warfare. When
the frigate United States captured the
British frigate Macedonian, about a
hundred years ago, it also captured a
band of eight French, German and
Italian musicians. The band had first
put to sea in a French frigate, which
was captured by a Portuguese vessel
and brought into Lisbon. There the
musicians had been persuaded to en-
list on the Macedonian. After their

her own name. but this would have in

which l was not in position to sat

avenue together, how much she knew,
what she remembered, and what
thoughts went coursing through her
head. That childlike faith of hers was
marvelously sweet. l believed that
she was dimly aware that terrible
things lay in the past, and that she
trusted TO her forgetfulness as a
shield to shelter not only herself but
me. and would not voluntarily recall
what she had forgotten.
1t was necessary to buy her an out
fit of clothes, and this problem wor-
rfed be a good deal. l was afraid that
she would not know what to buy; but,
as the morning wore away, realized
that her mental faculties were not
dimmed in the least
She observed everything, clapped
her hands joyously as a child at the
street sights and sounds, turned to
wonder at the elevated and at the
high buildings. l ventured, therefore
upon the subject that was perplexing
me.

Direct State Tax Levy Certain.

Taxpayers may as we'll prepare for
the news that there will be direct
state tax levy. The finance committee
has as good as made the announce
ment with the virtual completion of
its work. 1t has recommended appro-
prlatiOns of approximately $43,OOO,OOO
for the biennium. Estimated receipts
for the next two years, according to
the state board of public affairs, will
be $39,055, 125. The deficiency of
nearly $4,0OO,OO0 can be made up by
levy of 81 on 1000 of assessed valua-
ton.
The finance committees totals in
clude the appropriation to be raised
for highways to meet federal require
ments. For this purpose the commit
tee will favor one-quarter mill direct
tax, and no change in automobile IL
censes. The committee has passed on
PA bills. Only half dozen remain.
