CARRIED SECRET TO GRAVE
Canadian Prospector Refused to

near what later discoveries indicate
must have been large body of gold
bearing ore. Without knowing what
this ornamental stone was. he took

gist who was visiting Gilbertson identi-
fed the ore, and a rush to stake
claims along the Wapshe ensued. But
the unwilling prospector would never
tell where he made his great find. In
later years he became insane and died,
still refusing to reveal the location.
This season a systematic search of
that country is being made in hope
of rediscovering "the Gilbertson lode y

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
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to 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; it 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 such
conditions.
Many send for sample bottle to see what

MARY CRAHA%A BONNER
THE sPURTINe HOSE.

In free city hospital for children
pital overlooked the city streets. 1t
was situated in a very crowded part
of the city and the streets below the
hospital were always crowded with
men and women and children and
cats!
Sometimes merry -go-round would
stand on the street before the hospital
and the children would listen to the
gay tunes it played. They would
watch others riding the spirited
hOrses-and still others with not such
adventurous spirits would be sitting
la quiet chairs as they revolved around
to the music.
But oh, in the summer time it was
hot in the hospital. Lying in beds
and sitting in hospital wheeling chairs
seemed to them far hotter than play
ing would be-for it was hard to for
get the heat when sitting or lying
still.
And the warmth seemed to rise
right up from the pavements and to
tell the children that it had come to
pay them visit.
Now and again some one brought
ice cream to the hospital, and some
| times children who lived just outside
the city, came in with wild flowers
which made the hospital wards
seem far more summery, and even
less hot.
But all day long the hot sun poured
down, and no trees were about to
help with their shade and with theil
moisture.
At night 1t was very hard to sleep
1t almost seemed to the children a:
though the heat had no intention Of
letting anyone alone even then.
And so it went on when one eve
ming the matron came in for her usua
| goodnight rounds. 1t was earlier
than usual. They hoped that she
would not be suggesting going to bee
her.

this is removed they seem to have no

that this organ, which reacts to yari-

the density of the air through which 1t

Last week the President let 1t be

without thought of an early adjourn
.nent. There had been some anxiety
in Washington lest the deliberations
Of the conference on limitation Of
armaments might be disturbed by the
doings Of congress IL it were in session
after November IL, but Mr.. Harding
is not at all worried by this. The tax
bill is holding up all business In the
senate except the treaties and the
canal tolls bill. The treaties are to
be voted on October IA and the canal
measure comes to vote on October
10.N If President Harding's preference
is considered, the tariff bill will be
taken up before adjournment, though
many members of congress seem will
ing that it should go over to the next
session.
