Robert glanced up at the clock
which hung in the center ofSthe great
bare wall, and saw he had the better
part Of three hours In which to kick
his heels in Mayfield. A warm, drtz-
zling rain had commenced to fall, and
he made his way to the comfortable
inn in the market square where he
had conveyed him from B~archester.
He drew up a chair close to the old-
fashioned bay window and sat looking
out through Its blurred panes across
the deserted square. At the best Of
times an unattractive town, 1t was on
this particular evening In its most
cherries mood. The factories, the
tall chimney-stacks Of which showed
above the houses of the market place,
were sending out st1riil siren shrieks
to tell their workers thatsthe hour OF
release had come and that they were
free to attend to their personal af-
fairs.
Below him in the street 4 few mis-
cradle figures shufflsd past, or from
the doorways OF tho shops opposite

L 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, ell 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 DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation 1 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
so many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle oi
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.

paper. Large and medium size bottles

The white top colonies, clustered

Mingo county miners in 1920, when
union workers were evicted from
company-owned houses.
Several scores of men. women

little coal stoves, putting down
floor coverings and arranging for
the cold weather period.

Observers declared they saw no
prospects of early peace between
the coal operators and the miners

Operators said abandonment of

pointed out the system of paying
