particular resemblance to this COM.
mon ancestor that puts another chip
on the shoulder. For it is generally
conceded that an adams apple" is
no aid to beauty, And besides making
of our Paradise cold, bare world, 1t
is Adam who inflicted upon us this ad-

progenltor took the fatal bite that for
ever doomed the rest of us to exist
ence by the sweat of our brows, a
piece of the fruit is supposed to have
lodged in his throat and stuck there
in his children's children unto the nth

have at the front of the throat is
called Adams apple" Speaking of

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 DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation l 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 DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact.
so 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.

Swamp Root by Parcels Post Address

regarded as guilty, be charged with
high treason and might be punished
with penal servitude."
Regarding executions under martial
law, Herr Ebert said:
"The lawyers will determine. Per
haps some will be executed besides
the confiscation of their property. We
want to punish the leaders, but to
spare those who were forced into the
movement or acted through ignor-
