Womens' 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.

Poor health makes you nervous, irrita.

anyone 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.
A good kidney medicine, possessing
real healing and curative value, should
be blessing to thousands of nervous,

Many send for a sample bottb to see

Lost Tribes of Indians.

Although, says the Smithsonian In
stitution, the total number Of "Indl-
ans" as recorded by the census In
creases from decade to decade, this in
crease is due wholly to that Of the
mixed bloods; the full-bloods Of pure
strain are In most localities rapidly
disappearing and In n considerable
proportion Of the tribes have become
actually extinct or on the point of ex-
tinction. The progress of miscegena-
ton among many tribes seems hardly
to have been realized hitherto, even
by students of ethnology. A search
was recently made for full-blood
Shawnees on the Shawnee agency, In
eastern Oklahoma, and for full-blood
Klckapoos about McLoud, Okla, where
the main body Of this tribe Is settled.
But three Of the former were found,
and but one doubtful example Of
full-blood Kickapoo. "Thus," says the
Institution, "twO tribes, one Of them
of considerable Importance, may be re-
garded as lost to science"

Washington.-From eight oten car.
loads Of mail for American soldiers are
undelivered In France, Second Assist.
ant Postmaster General Praeger told
the senate postoffice committee, and
thousands and probably millions OF
letters addressed to the men overseas
will arrive In New York soon to be
sent to the dead letter office where
an attempt will be made to return
them to the writer's.
Blame for the failure to deliver
this mail was placed on the war de.
partment by Mr.. Praeger, who again
explained that the army authorities
handle all soldiers mail In France,
the postoffce department delivering
outgoing mail at Hoboken and receiv-
ing returning mail at the French ports.
Mr.. Praeger said one way to i'm.
prove conditions overseas would be to
send force OF experienced mail
clerks to France to deliver the mail
TO the soldiers.
Mr.. Praeger told the committee that
one reason for the confusion in the
delivery Of mail to soldiers was the
failure OF the war department to keep
up its index system. This same cause,
he declared, also was responsible for
the departments delay in sending out
allotments to soldiers and in reporting
casualties.
