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-
dHion, 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-
BILE and may be respondent; it makes any
me 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 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., Rnghamton, N. Y. you
may receive sample size bottle by Parcel
Post. You can purchase medium and
large size bottles at all drug stores.-Adv-

Man Who Was Riot Leader in the
Judith Gap Country Last Year Is
Shot by His Wife Because of His
Brutal Treatment of Her; Her
Story Clears Her.

Mrs. Kromka shot her husband at
their home on the night of July IA,
following an attempt on the part OF
the husband to beat her.
'He raised his hand to strike me,
but when he did / closed my eyes
and shot. I shot twice. He fell to
the floor, and I went out to the
porch"
In these simple words the woman
told the police of the tragedy when
she was taken to the city emergency
hospital where she was cared for un-
til she was exonerated by the cor
oner's jury. She said her husband
frequently had beaten her. She was
afraid of him, she said, and to pro-
tect herself and her children she had
carried a pistol secreted in her
clothes.
At the inquest the widow testified
that Kromka after insuring his life in
favor of the l. w. W., donated to that
$240, the residue of his
entire worldly possessions, after he
had spent SIS for wedding trip.
Testimony was also produced to in
dicate that through drink and failure
to work, Kromka's wife and her chill
dren faced the last winter without
food or fuel.
Kromka, convicted of participating
IN a riot between harvest hands and
