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-
be and may be respondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that Dr..
Kilmer's SwampRoot, by restoring
health to the kidneys pro7ed to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for a sample bottle to see
what Swamp-Root, the great kidney,
liver and bladder medicine, will do for
them. By enclosing ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y. you
may receive sample size bottle by Parcel
Post. You can purchase medium and
large size bottles at all drug stores.-Adv.

TRIBUTE TO DESERT PINES
Well Called Boon to Mankind, Flour
ishing in Land Where Vegetation
Does Not Thrive.

They are strong, those pines. Their
soft and lOw-toned converse is the
pent-up quietness of force.
Their shade is dark and cool, tE.Gir
every whisper music. their green a
blessed thing, and the aid they give
to man is far beyond all computation
in a land where other forests do not
thrive. They are not cheerful in a
common way; their looks are somber,
and their shade too deep. But there
is IL quiet, a reposeful peace beyond
light joy, and when you seek for that
the pines stretch forth their shadowy
arms TO fold you closely in.
They rear their dark green shoulders
up above the gray green chaparral, saw
ing the country from the stain of being
but d waste of brush. Where an old
placer dump would lie an ugly scar on
natures face springs up a clump of
straight brown boies holding aloft
thick plumes of long green needles,
browning the bare and rocky mound
with shafts of sylvan beauty. They
are not pretty-far too big for that.
Their steadfastness, their calm, IN
Swerving growth, will shame all little
ness, and where the giants of that
mighty race rear their proud tips in
lofty majesty, drinking in sunlight
from the blue toward which they are
advancing, or where they stand like
warriors of old against the fiercest
blows, there weakness may not com.
fortably dwell nor aught of littleness.

At the hotel we learned that Don

O'Clock that morning. The shot that
killed his father had been fired at

Yes" I said hesitatlngly; "but she
never shot her father. The will was
all in her favor"

ball. We heard no shot. 1t was an
