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 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.
bic and may be despondent; 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,
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.

HOT WEATHER
Hits the Stomach Hardest

Chicago, m.-Hot weather upsets
the strongest stomach and causes seri-
Gus trouble for the weak ones, SO word
is now going out to thousands Of
eatonic users that they should, dur.
ing this hot weather, be on the safe
side and take one eatonic tablet
about half an hour before meals, as
well as after eating. Do this and
keep the excess acids and poisonous
gases from forming in stomach and
bowels. Eatonic acts quickly; 1t will
help the appetite and take away the
hot-weather, feverish, thirsty feeling
from mouth and stomach, because 1t
takes up the excess acids, poisons and
gases and carries them out Of the
body and, of course, when the cause
Of the trouble is removed, there can
be no bad feeling. Eatonic is like
bit Of candy, and is recommended to
all as safe, sure remedy these hot
days for stomach and bodily troubles,
caused from overeating and drinking
cold things. Adv.

, which her Self lay, half dressed and
half conscious, too bored to care
whether she walked or slept
WEAKNESS and disconsolation were
eloquent in her posture as she rested
on her side, hand between her head
and the emaciated pillow, and written
legibly in blush shadows under list
less eyes, in sallow cheeks whose nor
NAL hue was clearest pallor barely
warmed by glowing health, in the un-
studied disarray of her masses of fine
black hair, in the sullen cast of her
firm-lipped mouth.
A mutter of far thunder swelled and
died.
The girl moved only her eyes, look
ing up to a window that revealed the
storm-black sky.
What mattered It to her whether or
not 1t rained? She was condemned,
apparently, to endless Imprisonment
In this dismal place whose threshold
her foot had not crossed in so many
days she had lost count of them.
The room grew dark, the sky more
savage. A sword of lightning slashed
the gloom, and again distant thunder
doomed and grumbled into silence.
BY the pert tin clock whose stridu-
lation was the only voice her hiding
place had heard In days, the hour was
barely five.
She wondered why she had taken
the trouble to look. What was the
use of it, this keeping count of time ?
What was time indeed but waste, one
long-drawn torment of waiting in idle
ness and impotence for the sign that
never came to set her free?
She could have shrieked for sheer
evaporation of ennui without alloy.
She told herself that anything were
better than such fate as this. Why
not shrek till her cries fetched the
police? Or, better still, arise, go forth,
and court arrest? A cell in the Tombs
were preferable to this place of dubi-
Gus security. Was she less a prisoner
here than she wouln be there?
But she did not shrek, she did not
move. she did nothing, but remained
as she had been on awakening from
the desolating stupidity Of unneeded
sleep, so still she scarcely seemed a
living, breathing being.
More lurid lightning, a deeper iia-
pason of thunder, again that breath
less hush
OF a sudden she left the bed and in
one soundless bound gained the mid
die of the floor, where she paused in
the crouch of a hunted thing at bay,
her wide gaze fastened to the door.
Through a wait so long that she
concluded her hearing must have been
at fault, she heard nothing. She re.
laxed, drew a deep breath-and grew
rigid with alarm when she heard the
noise repeated, stealthy knocking on
the panels.
With an ear to the crack between
door and frame she seemed to detect
