Important to all Women
Readers OF this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
rc&NIt of kidney or bladder disease.
II the Kidneys are not in . healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
20 become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-
bic and may be respondent; 1t makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome suck
conditions.
Many send for sample bottle to see what
Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder medicine, will do for them. By
enclosing ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y, you may receive sam
pie size bottle by Parcel Post. You can
purchase medium and large size bottles at
al drug stores.-Advertiseme

Wanted to Fight Wildcats.

william M. Knight addressed a
crowd Of negroes on the circus
grounds at Louisville.
He described himself as an "an-
nihllator" and a KILLER" and offered
to do combat with all the wildcats In
the circus nenagerie, predicting q
direfui outcome for the wildcats.
Furthermore, he challenged anyone
In his audience to gainsay that he
was the "gamest gamecock" on those
grounds. Copious draughts of witch
hazel, he said, had made him what
he was, and he was about to expound
further on the rejuvenating effects of
that beverage when q policeman took
him away on charges OF drunkenness
and disorderly conduct.-Louisville

WASH, HIGHWAY
PAVED BY 1928

PORTLAND, Sept. 24.--Within
che next two years, or by the end Of
1923, the Pacific highway will be
completely paved through the state
OF Washington, from Vancouver to
the international boundary.
At present there are approximate
ly IS miles unpaved. The execution
OF outstanding contracts will finish
the gap between La Center and
Woodland, giving a continuous pave
ment from Portland to Woodland
and the gap between Toledo and
Tenino, making a completed pave
ment between Toledo and the Brit
tsh Columbia boundary. This will
leave only the section between Wood
land and Toledo, an approximate dis
tance Of SO miles. to pave within the
next two years. s,.. ,., .st .
The most important gap under con-
struction at present Is 90 mile
stretch between Bellingham and Mt.
Vernon. This, II is expected, will be
thrown open to traffic In November
OF this year. II is one of the most
scenic sections of the highway in
Washington. Coming south from Bel
bingham It follows. the bay shore for
about 10 miles. rounding the range
Of timbered hills which bound the
rich skagit valley on the west. Pass
ing through q rugged country, its
construction in places approaches
that Of the Columbia river highway,
From points several hundred feet
above the sound there are beautiful
vistR of the Puget Sound country.
The road is altogether a new one.
The old county road which Is now
used enters the hills just after leav-
ing Mt. Vernon and crosses the ridge
mt Lake Sammish and follows the
canyon into Bellingham.
