II 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.
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 / 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 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 a 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. Advertisement

Now, there were two tonsils and they
had made their home in Lucy's throat.
Tonsils always make their homes in

kinds of homes.
They are all alike in that way.
Now people are very different. Some
people like to have their homes In
country places. Others like to have
their homes in big cities where there
are crowds and crowds of people.
Still others like to have their homes
In seaside places, so they can be neigh

But Tonsils like 10 make their homes
in throats And these twin TonsiIs
were in Lucy's throat.
One Tonsil was named Ton Tonsil
and the other was Tom Tonsil

that is just the point.
'sFhings that have no reason to be

We must get bigger and bigger and

Cough. Oh. they all came and had a
party in Lucy's throat.
Well, they liked the party so much
that they came again and again. Some.
times they had little parties and some
times big parties.
One day. however. Lucy decided to
let her Tonsils know that they could
not make their home any longer in
her throat
So she went to the big doctor who
had promised TO take them out and
who had told her that they would get
rid OF those wretched little Twins.
1t wasn't pleasant to think of getting
rid Of the Twins. They wouldn't come
out by mere kind word. No. they

be used with them. But Lucy was |
brave-and she knew that once she got
rid of those wretches her throat would |
never again be the place for the Ton

SO the big doctor took the Tonsil |
Twins out and their Adenoid cousins |
along with them. and the Tonsils wept /
red tears as they left Lucy, but they

snownroof Ponies

In discussing the problem of the
origin of horses, an eminent investi
gator described as one of the most
distinct kinds now living the Gel
tic ponies. which are found in the
most northern parts of Iceland. They
reach a height of only 4 feet and are
so abundantly furnished with hail
that in winter storms they are prac-
tically snOwproof. He observed the
conduct of one of these ponies during
snowstorm. As soon as the storm
began the animal turned her hind
quarters to it and in a short time the
snow had formed a kind of shield or
disk upon the long hair growing about
the root Of the tail. Thus protected.
the pony did not shift her position.
while the storm lasted, except to turn
with a change of the wind.

Improved Lawn Mower

A lawn mower that will successful-
ly cut the grass on the incline of a
terrace and that will not require its
operator 10 pull IL up and down, nor
run up and down the grass bank him
self, is described in Popular Mechan-
les Magazine. In construction the
new device does not differ greatly
from the old-style lawn mower In
stead of the stationary handle. the
new machine has a pivoted handle
set on a toothed quadrant. BY lifting
stop pin from between the teeth of
the quadrant, and setting il TO the
desired point, the mower is brought
into an angular position relative to
the operator, so that he can cut a
lengthwise swath on the slope with
out leaving the ground level.
