WOULD MAKE AN EXCEPTION
Captured German Captain Decided
That on This Occasion He Would
Forget About Honor.

Among the letters from France that
have been printed in the Atlantic
Monthly there is to be found this en-
tertaining episode:
The code of the German officers is,
never to surrender; but Of course they
cannot live up to It. In a recent raid
sergeant l know made a prisoner
of a German captain who, as they
walked to the rear, cursed his luck
in fluent French, saying that he was
caught unawares that an officer never
surrendered but fought to the end.
stop here, my captain, and let us
consider this" said the sergeant serl-
Ously. "There are several articles Of
your equipment to which my fancy
runs. That watch, for example, those
leather puttees, and that fat purse
l saw you change to your hip pocket
Perhaps l can Oblige you and crafty
my whim. Suppose you were suddenly
to run-a quick shot would save your
honor. and me the trouble of escOrting
you to the rear. And l am an excel
lent shot, assure you"
But the German was not interested.

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.
II 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, a physicians pre-.
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle inn
mediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.
