JUICY STEAK ON HOOK
LURE FOR SEA TROUT
WHEN BAIT IS SCARCE

Washington anglers who have
tried their luck on salt water this
season fully realize how scarce balt
has been. It happened q pulnher Of
! times during the season that there
was scarcely peeler to be had at
any OF the resorts, while soft crabs
were unusually scarce.
It is true that local dealers usu.
ally had supplies Of blood worms on
hand and 1t is equally true that prac-
ticAlly every species Of salt water
fish will take them at times. But
there seems to come times when
they want change Of food, and pos.
itively refuse tempting mprsels gath
ered In the salt marshes of the New
York coast.
II remained for N. L, Pullian to
find 2 new bait for trout--nothing
more nor less than q piece Of steak.
who would blame q fish for fall
ing for a tempting piece Of steak ?"
he asked. Human beings are easily
tempted with it. and why not a fish ?''
Pullian, regarded as one of the
most successful Waltonites in this
!. city, gave the beef bait a trial on q
trip to Annapolis Monday night. He
!. tried 1t several times. he said, and
landed q trout each time.
In northern waters, it is stated,
: beef bait is used by sportsmen
angling for hardheads. Such bait
Is said to be successfully used in
other waters by Uncle SANS sailors.

If 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 DR.. Kiimer'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 DIR.
Kilmers Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls 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 sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores.

EVERYBODY SEES A
CHANGE IN FATHER
Grateful Son Says His Father
Looks Like Different Man
Since Taking TanIac.

MY father has suffered from
chronic stomach trouble for over
twenty years and has paid out thou
sands of dollars for medicines and
DOCTORS" said G.. w. Slayton, we'll
known Cobb County farmer, living
short distance out of Atlanta, Ga.
"We tried nearly everything trying
to cure him and he went off TO the
Springs, thinking maybe the water
might help him. but it just looked
like nothing would reach his trouble.
Then he tried dieting and lived on
liquid food until he almost starved,
but even that failed to do him any
good and he just kept going from bad
to worse.
Il don't guess there ever was
case as stubborn as his. and If there
ever was confirmed dyspepuc he was
one of them, and / guess he would
have been one yet If it hadn't been
for this Tanlac.
"The first we heard Of this medi-
cine was when my father saw an ad-
vertisement in the papers from parties
he knew in Tennessee, who were
friends of his and he knew what they
said about it was the truth, so he got
1t right away and began taking ".
Well, sir, it acted just like magic
everybody notices the change In ia
ther. Why, he is just like different
man and sits down to the table and
eats like farmland. Only yesterday
he ate pork and turnips for his dinner
and ate so much we were actually
afraid he was going to overno the
thing, but he laughed and said nothing
hurt him now and that he was hungry
and expected to eat and make up for
lost time.
Nov, when a medicine will do
things like that / think people ought
to know about 1t, and l want to say
right now that l would not give one
bottle of Tanlac for all the other
medicines and health resorts in the
country put together"
Tanlac is sold by leading druggists

Love.

Love" is one of the most frequently
used-and abused-words in our lam
guage. There are almost as many def
nitions of it as there are people who
speak the language. This little mono
syllable may be said to be immeasur-
able in its potentialities.
In the German language the word
is "Liebe." The exact Russian equiv
alent is "Lienboy." The Sanscrit word
that expressed the idea-or the primi-
tive conception of it's 'Iobha." The
exact and original definition Of that
word, however, is "Covetousness." So
you see.-Chicago Journal.
