WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer'g Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver ami bladder medi-
cine.
It is physicians prescription.
Swamp Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. It helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp Root has stood the test of years.
It is sold by all druggists on its merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer a. Co., Bipghamton, N. Y, for I.
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

when he meets runner of his own
speed and endurance. Many contend
Ray has never been extended and there
is no telling how fast he can reel of
q mile If he has to step every yard Of
the distance.
There is no runner on the Ameri-
can athletic horizon wilo has a
chance to beat Ray this year, but
when the American starts his favor
tie races at Antwerp the situation
will be different. Ray knows the
weaknesses of Americas best rum
ners, while he is not familiar with
the racing of Europe's best men.
1t is the consensus of opinion Of
most coaches that Ray will be carried
along at such a fast clip in his races
that he will need all the reserve he
can store up. Some of these men
contend that mistake is being made
in making the little star race so
much.

IOlE RAY BELIEVED
TO BE BEST RUNNER
Coaches Say Little Star Has
Never Been Extended.
Close Followers Of Amateur Athletics
Think He Will Be lnvincible in
Olympic Games Over Fa-
vorite Distances.

When Joie Ray of the Illinois Ath-
letic club, Americas premier distance
runner, won the half-mile and two
mile runs in the Central A. A. u.
senior indoor track and field cham
pionships close followers of amateur
athletics believe he will be invincible
in the Olympic games over his favor
tie distances.
Although Ray did not meet any rum
ners of note, the fact remains that
some of Rays reserve was called upon
to run three races in one night. His
best performance was in the mile,
which he covered in 4 30 on track
with unbanked turns. The time in
the other races was slow, as Joie was
not pushed in either.
Speculation is rife among coachers
and trainers as to what Ray will do

Color to Show Denominations.

The treasury department at Wash
ington is now working on PROPOSE
ton to mark bills of various denomi-
nations with a standardized colored
seal, so that anyone can recognize
notes of different denominations at
glance. The plan, suggested by Phil
adelphia druggist, is to have col
ored seal in one corner of the bill, for
instance, green seal for one, pink
seal for a two, blue seal for five,
and so on. Treasury officials, how
ever, dislike the idea of using different
dyes.

along this line. DR.. Eaton, for The
