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 a
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,
10 many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutraiizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

Swamp Root by Parcels Post. Address

SPIDER ATTRACTED BY MUSIC
According to oreanist, He Was Always
Sure of One Listener When
ever He Played.

An Organist, telling of his expert
ences while playing the great instru-
ment in a Boston hall, relates Il pretty
story of his most regular listener
IA spider that had taken up his abode
in the organ case over the performers
head. 1t remained there for about
Il year.
1t was musical little fellow, and
when the man began to play 1T would
spin down almost to a level with his
shoulder and gently swing to and fro
and listen. When he had finished a
piece it would draw itself up to it's
nest. and when he began another,
down it would come again and resume
its position as an interested listener.
1t had six legs Two 1t put out in
the air as a balance pole, two IT
handled the web with, and the third
pair it used in pulling itself up hand
over hand, as sailors climb a rope.
The Organist came at last to watch
for the little fellow, and it was always
faithful, so that he was sure of at
least one attentive and appreciative
listener.

HEAVY DEATH TOLL
FROM EXPLOSION
GERMAN FACTORY DESTROYED
BY BLAST AS SHIFTS WERE
BEING CHANGED.

Mayence.-Eight hundred persons
are reported to have ben killed and
many injured by an explosion in the
Badische Anilinfabrik works at Oppau,
near Frankenthal, in the Rhine Palati-
nate. The plant makes explosive nj
trogenous compounds.
The disaster appears to have been
one of the most terrible in the his
tory of industrial catastrophies. The
first explosion occurred when the
shifts were being changed at 7:45 a.
m. in a laboratory where 500 men
were working. All of these are re-
ported to have been killed.
This explosion was followed by a
rapid succession of others, which rem
dered assistance to the first victims
impossible.
The conclusions were SO terrific
that they were felt in this city, some
35 miles from the scene, while at
Mannheim, Is miles distant, almost
every window was shattered and sew
eraI persons were killed and SO others
injured by debris.
Some persons were killed at Lud-
wigshafen, across the river from
Mannheim, many roofs were blown
of houses and all the windows in the
town were broken at Worms, while of
Oppau itself nothing remains but a
heap of ruins.
The shock was felt as far as>Frank.
fort, more than 40 miles away, and
many windows were broken there.
The whole district was enveloped in
thick smoke, which, together with the
cutting of telegraph and telephone
communication with neighboring
towns, hampered the efforts of assist
ance.

No Kick in Watermelon.

Juice of the watermelon contains a
high content of sugar and table
sugar has been made from it, but not
in commercial way. There is one
REGULARITY about the watermelon: IN
like nearly all other plants, fruits. and
vegetables having sweet juice, good
wine has not been made from the
juice of the watermelon. Cantaloupes,
on the contrary, when their juice is
fermented, and distilled. produce "a
good quality, or a bad quality, of
