SWAMP-ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
With much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine
1t is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-

should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start

FROM REMOTEST
PARTS OF GLOBE
TanIac Elements Come From
Many Lands Far Away
From Here.

The ingredients from which the cele-
brated medicine Tanlac is made, come
from remote sections of the earth,
and are transported thousands of
miles over land and sea to the great
| Tanlac Laboratories at Dayton, Ohio,
and Walkersville. Canada.
The Alps, Appenines, Pyrenees, Rus
sian Asia, Brazil West Indies, Rocky
Mountains, Asia Minor, Persia, India,
Mexico, Columbia and Peru are
among the far away points from which
! the principal properties of this re-
markable preparation are obtained.
What is said to be the largest phar-
maceutical laboratory in the United
States has been completed at Dayton,
| Ohio, for the manufacture of Tanlac,
which, according to recent reports, is
now having the largest sale of any
medicine of its kind in the world,
over 2O,OOOO0O bottles having been
| sold in six years.
The new plant occupies GO,0OO

daily capacity Of $4,000 bottles. Uni
form quality is guaranteed by series
of careful inspections by expert chem
| lists from the time the roots, herbs,
barks and flowers are received in their
rough state from all parts of the globe,
until their medicinal properties have
been extracted by the most approved
processes. The finished medicine is
then bottled, labeled and shipped out

throughout the United States and

After a moment of silence the little

Wonderful Telescope.

The excellence of the big Lick tele-
scope, and the steadiness Of the air
when the conditions are good on
Mount Hamilton, are attested by the
statement of one authority that double
stars, whose components are nearly
equal in brightness, can be measured
If the distance between them exceeds
One-tenth of second of arc. What
this means in accuracy Of definition
may be understood by remembering
the fact that one-tenth of second is
equal to the apparent diameter Of an
ordinary pin, viewed by the naked eye
at a distance of two miles.

shos.1hrowina Old Custom.

Throwing old shoes was not always
confined to weddings, though the GUS
tom nowadays has come to be asso-
ciated entirely with the going away of
bridal couples. Authorities differ as
to the origin of the practice and it's
exact significance it seems, however,
as if it had to do with the transfer
Of property-women being regarded
as such among the nations in which
the custom began.
1t was in the sense of confirming q
sale or exchange that the Jews un-
derstood the removal and giving of a
shoe or sandal. When the kinsman of
Boaz consented to waive his clairs
upon the parcel of land which Naomi
would sell, he drew off his shoe," for
this is the custom of Israel"

Night and Silence are a stern test
of wisdom. For years, the fun loving,
chattersome Blenkinsop had been
their enemy and was not yet at peace
with them. But Night and Silence
had other enemies in the village
ancient and inconsolable enemies, 1t
must be said. They were the cocks
of Bingville. Every morning they fell
TO and drove Night and Silence out of
the place and who shall say that
they did not save it from being hope
lessly overwhelmed? Da.- was their
victory and they knew how to achieve
it. Nuise was the thing most needed.
So they reused the people and called
up the lights and set the griddles rat
Ting. The great, white cock that
roasted near the window in the Widow
Moran's hen-house watched for the
first sign of weakness in the enemy.
When it came, he sent forth bolt of
sound that tumbled Silence from his
throne and shook the foundations of
the great dome of Night. 1t rang over
the hOusetops and through every
street and alley in the village. That
started the battle. Silence tried in
vain to recover his seat. In moment,
every cock in Bingville was hurting
bombs at him. Immediately, Dark
ness began to grow pale with fright.
Seeing the fate of his ally, he broke
camp and fled westward. Soon the
field was clear and every proud cock
surveyed the victory with a solemn
sense of large accomplishment.

punches of the avalanche that
Dempsey hurled at his man did the

ither OF these punches might have
finished Fulton but they were deliv-
red in rapid succession Fulton at
that time was a very dangerous
man. He has always been a terrific
left hand puncher. But he was no
match for Dempsey.
In the Willard fight Dempsey was
concentrated 'sT. N. r." and better,
in all probability, than he will ever
be again though he Is still in the
midst of his prime and has conf
denee today that he did not know
when he faced Willard-the conf.
dence that comes with the title.
l figured that Jack really had
Willard out in the first round, as
did many an old timer who thought
the count was slow. One thing is
certain-Dempsey won the Willard
fight in tho first round. There was
no doubt as to his ultimate victory
after that.
In the Miske and Brennan fights
Dempsey was in and out Of condi-
ton. When he met Miske he was
himself and he scored the knockout
hat the st. Paul Battler had stayed
OFF on two previous occasions. For
brennan he was overturned but
the Brennan fight showed that he
has stamina to go over the longer
route with knockout punch in re-

Today he is In fine condition. His
physical form has completely swept
aside the fears of some OF his
friends after the Brennan fight that
he had started TO go back.

from 1907 up to date, few OF these
being scored against heavyweights.
OF his fights since he invaded the
heavyweight division Carpenters
victories over Wells, Beckett and
Gunboat Smith and his fine show
ing against Joe jeanette are practi-
cally all that can be pointed to. yet
in these bouts he proved beyond a
doubt that he Is capable of flooring
men much bigger than himself and
since he became champion of Eu-
rope he has never yet found man
who could extend him. With this
in view, it Is ridiculous TO attempt
to say just how good Georges is,
for there is no way Of telling. That
he Is a great fighter for his weight

His victory over Fulton was the
one that launched him in the mid
