Il You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t IN that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of eight 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 / 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 fulhlls 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 Of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DIR. Kilmer & Co, Binghamton, n. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.

Plan Of Simple Backyard Poultry House.

g. laid on edge and with the upper
corners rounded off, makes good
roost. A pole, or even a piece of
board or 3 inches wide, may be
used. If the roost is OF light material
and fairly long, ii should be support
ed In the center, as well as at the
ends, 10 prevent ii from sagging bad
ly. An allowance of to 10 inches
of roost space per fowl, according TO
the size of the birds, should be made.
If more than one roost is used. they
should be placed about 10 inches
apart.
Provide Simple Nests.
Nests must be provided and may be
very simple. Any. box about ] foot
square ana or inches deep is
suitable. An ordinary orange box
with the partition in the middle
serves very well, each box forming
two nests. The top is removed, the
box laid on its side, and strip 3
to inches wide nailed across the
lower front. Nests can be fastened
against the walls of the house or set
on the floor. 1t is preferable to fasten
them against the walls, as they take
too much floor space If set on the
floor. One nest should be provided
for each four or five hens.

More Widows Than Widowers.

According to the United States CEN

at this time 3,170,O00 widows and only
1,471 800 widowers. This indicates
that the chances are, on the average.
two to one that a man will pass away
before his wife. The main reason for
this condition of affairs is that the
wife is generally several years young
er than the husband, and then too.
at the ages above fifty the mortality
rate for men is much higher than for
women.--Bankers' Life Bulletin.

MARKETING APPLES

Information secured from APP

of Agriculture indicate that rel
atlvely low prices in large crop
years in the beginning of the
season make for quick move
ment and rapid consumption,
with the natural result of bet
ter season averages; that mar
ketlng of inferior grades along

years is not profitable; that the
effective operation of grade and

WINGED that college girls are spreading the
habit among their sisters by their perni-
cious example, has introduced into con-
gress bill which provides that women who
smoke in public places shall be fined S25
for the first offence and 500 for the sec

is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gan

ity and fairness to fine women for merely
doing what men are allowed to do with
impunity. There isn't single logical rea-
son for forbidding women to smoke, "chaw

co smoke, instead of violet dulce perfume,

sion in noting traces of tobacco juice in

Bonus Issue Not Settled

President Grant vetoed bonus bill for
the benefit of Civil war veterans in March,
1875, 10 years after the war closed. This
incident is cited, not because of its having
any bearing on the present case, except to
show how mistaken is the theory that it
can be settled by the present session of
Congress. In one form or another it will
be an issue in the country for the next 20
to thirty years. If it fails it will be sough
again and again. If it succeeds there will
be demand for another in probably a
slightly different guise. One thing that
most people perisistently forget is that
