WOMEN need SWAMP root

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
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
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may

such conditions.

PILE OF NEWSPAPERS
OF MUCH ASSISTANCE
Worked Under Wheels, They Help
Motorist Out of Mud.
Method Of Handling Difficult Situation
So Simple and So Uniformly Sue
cessful That Every Driver
Should Know of IL.

From motorist who lives in Sec
ton where mud roads are common
comes a suggestion which its author
guarantees as the best remedy for such
situation short of a pair of husky
mules. He states that he has tried the
method on numerous occasions, and
that it has never failed to work. He
says: r.|i ~3 a.gf
81 always have stored away some
where in my car a stack, of old news
papers. They don't take up so much
room but that can always find place
for them. When | strike mudhole
and the wheels begin to fly around in
that exasperating way which tells me
that / am firmly and definitely stuck,
l get out my bundle of papers.
Taking a newspaper I fold it in
half horizontal across the page and
proceed TO the task of working the
paper between the tire and the mud.
This is simple matter, and is accom-
plished by feeding the paper while the
wheels are being revolved. l feed the
paper in lengthwiSe. Usually only a
few will have been worked in when
the tires will begin to grip and the
car start forward. If a few won't
do the work, keep on feeding in the
papers until good traction Is gained.
"This method of handling a difficult
situation is so simple and so uniform
ly successful that every motorist should
know it. If he is not equipped with
some other apparatus for such a con-
tingency, he should always have a
little pile Of newspapers stored away
in some empty place In his car.
'In many localities it might be pos
Sibe for a motorist to get old news
papers from neighboring houses; but
when the mishap occurs III some lonely
spot, lucky is the man who has some
newspapers in his machine.g

AWFUL THRILLS
OF FIRST RIDE
Owner of New Car Quickly Dis
covers He Cannot Shift Gears
Like Demonstration.
TRAFFIC TANGLES PUzzLING
Rules of the Road, Especially Getting
by Policeman at Crossing, Often
Get Drivers Goat-Many
Things Forgotten.

When you go out with the demon
strator in the new car you have
bought, running it looks just as easy
as giving candy to a child, but when
you start out by yourself-thats diff
ferent.
About the first trouble you have is
with your gears, ana while you are
certain that you can shift them as
well as the demonstration did, you dis
cover that you can't, and in all prob
ability you blame it on the car.
Road Rules Bother.
Then there's the rules of the road,
and especially getting by the traffic
policeman. If you ever noticed it,
when the officer holds up his hand you
stop and kill your engine and bump
back and forth when you go to start,
and tie up other cars, and finally two
or three cars pass you and you can
see black looks and hear voice call
ing out something that you know isn't
complimentary.
When you try to back up you are
likely to back into another car, or
over a curb, or into a telephone pole,
and when you're out for the first time
you usually want the entire street
clear when you go to pass another
machine, and you feel like you'd rath-
err stop than try to pass a street car
Then, again, you've wondered what
was the matter with your new ca:
because it wouldn't 60 right and
bumped along and the engine heated
like furnace and you couldn't get
your machine out of a slow walk
Possibly you have stopped and tele-
phoned the service man to come and
see what was the matter. He came
released your brake and you were all
right.

Battery Exhausted.

Then, perhaps, you allowed your
lights to burn all night in the garage,
or maybe you left on your ignition and
exhausted your battery. Also, per-
haps, you forgot all about your lights
until a policeman warned you.
The new driver usually kills his en-
CINE on the track when he passes in
front of a street car. Again, did you
ever step on the accelerator instead of
the brake and run over the curb? In
the winter did you let your radiator
freeze?

SATIRE IN THE VICTORIAN Nov
Ell. BY Frances Theresa Russell,
Phi d. New York: The Macmil-
la Cnponany

A textbook for the student who
has passed beyond general consid-
Grafton of literature into an inveSti-
cation of one of it's special aspects.
The theme is the Victorian novel TO-
cused upon the use of satire as one
of the elements of its development.
The origin of this element. its accept
ance as medium of fiction, it's use
and nf1uence-these are the points
that are brought out here in a COM
petent and scholarly manner. The
collateral interests of this study, its
somewhat general presentation of the
fiction of the period. give to the book
the promise of consideration beyond
that of the student himself.
