alT, says the paint man, but the
city girl seems more anxious to con-
ceal the surface.
These farmers who are all the
time running down their business
are apt to get so pessimistic that
they sell their crops below their
real value.
The city folks buy clothing and
furniture for style rather than for
wear, and then complain because
they don't get wages enough to
pay fair price for food products.

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.
Klmer's Swamp Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed TO overcome
such conditions.
