WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and bladder trouble-and never suspect it.
 Women's complaints often prove to ba 7othing 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 gsns 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. KilmeTs Swamp-Root, a physician's pre-. scription, obtained at any drug store, may be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.
 Get a medium or large size bottle i'm mediately from any drug store.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & O., Binghamton, N. Y, for q sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paLer.-Advertisement.

TURKEYS. FOR THANKSGIVING
Six Weeks In November and Decem- ber Constitute Duration of Market
 for Big Birds.

(Prepared by the United States Department
 of Agrfculture.)
 The American public demands tur- key for Thanksgiving, and gets 1t usually if 1t is humanly possible. On no other festival of the year do the people of this country feel 1t neces- sary to have any one kind of meat, but Thanksgiving without turkey is like Hamlet without the ghost to most Americans. Many serve turkey at Christmas and New Years also, but after the holiday season is past the demand for turkeys is usually small. This makes the marketing season for turkeys very short, running as 1t does from the middle of November to the latter part of December.
 In sections where turkeys are grown In large numbers, as in Texas, dress ing plants have been built by poultry dealers, who buy the birds alive and dress them for the various city mar kets. In such cases practically all the turkey raisers sell to these dealers, who often send buyers out into the country to gather up drove of several hundred birds by stopping at each farm as they pass, weighing whatever turkeys the farmer may have to sell, and adding them to those already col lected.
 Turkeys to be killed and dressed on the farm should first be deprived of feed for 24 hours, but given plenty o1 fresh, clean water in order to clean the crop and intestines of all feed When ready to kill. the bird should be

hung up by the feet; holding the bird In one hand, sharp, narrOw-bladed knife is used to sever the veins in the throat by making a small cut inside the mouth on the right side of the throat, at the base of the skull. After making this cut and bleeding begins, the knife is thrust up through the groove in the roof of the mouth and into the brain at the back part of the skull. The bird gives a peculiar sQuawk, the feathers are lOosened by a Quivering of the muscles, and death is instantaneous.
 In dry-picking, the feathers should be plucked immediately, and if the bird has been properly stuck they come out very easily. The tail and large wing feathers are removed first, after which the body feathers are pulled out. When the turkeys are to be marketed locally or are to be shipped but short distance, they are cooled to temperature of about 35 degrees Fahrenheit by hanging in the open air, provided the weather is cold enough, otherwise they are plunged into ice water and kept there until thoroughly cooled.
 After cooling they are packed un- drawn in boxes or barrels. It is in- advisable for the producer without proper refrigerating facilities to ship dressed turkeys, as losses from i'm proper cooling and from their being exposed to warm weather during tran sit are liable to occur. Aside from this 1t is seldom profitable to ship tur- keys any great distance except in car load lots; when this is done the tur- keys are cooled to 32 degrees Fahren- heit, packed in boxes or barrels, and shipped in refrigerator cars.

DENVER LIVE STOCK.
Cattle.

No change could be noted in the con- dition of the cattle market from the conditions under which it closed the last week. Receipts were of good size, and with a plentiful supply of cattle at their command, buyers were dis posed to bear down on the prices asked by salesmen. Good killing cattle, es- pecially she stuff, found a ready out let.
 Thirty-four head of stocker cows, weighing about 800 pounds, sold for and several loads of yearling steers at $4.75 also were called steady Six loads of Southern cattle of the stocker type sold at $4, with sort at $S.60.
 Hogs.
 The local hog market was featured by the most uneven session of trading that it has experienced for some time.
 Demand was good for all stock Of- fered and clearances were effected about as early as is usually the cus- tom.
 Decided drops of nearly a full dollar were noted in the pig section. Not many animals were offered of that type, but the few sales made were reg istered at $7.50. Pigs sold easily for $S.75 a week ago, and since then the supplies have been meager.
 Top sales of the day were made at $S25, with bulk ranging from $6.75 to $S10- Several lots of good light hogs sold at the latter figure and some de- sirable Hampshires sold at $8.15. Cut out heaVies were uoted at $5.5O.
 Sheep.
 Feeders felt the heaviest advances, and the market ili this section general ly was called a full 25-cent advance and in spots more. Fat stock also was benefited by the conditions, and trad CTS called the market for such stock from 10 to 15 cents higher.
 As county buyers were in combined attendance, traders anticipate good ac- tive sessions on the sheep market Quotations will hold up with the level reached, it is believed. Top for the day was $7.5O, paid for five loads of good fat lambs. Seven cars were sold at split price, s7.25 for the fat end, which it was believed would weigh around seventy-five pounds, and $6.25 for the feeder end. One load of feed CTS. weighing about sixty pounds, brought the top for such stock at $6.9O. Five loads of heavy fat ewes of good quality, averaging 124 pounds, sold for S350 Feeder ewes were quot ah1a from S2 tn S2.7h
