If You Need a Medicine
 You Should Have tho 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. Kilmer's Swamp-Ro . preparation I 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 terrified 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 neutrahzes 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.-Adv.

INOTA"TRENCH" OF BAYONEIS
True Story of Famous Incident at Verdun, Which French Bravery
 Has Made Immortal.

The scaffolding has now been taken down from the monument over the fa- nous Trench of the Bayonets" at Verdun which President Millerand has inaugurated. But the term trench" is misnomer. The true story is this:
 Lltty-seven survivors of two Breton batta,ions were holding the line there. not in trench, but in a series of shellholes. nearly regularly spaced and aligned. The men were so packed that when any were wounded they were un~ able to fall down, while for security they held their rifles, with fixed bay onets, in the air.
 Durins the whole of June II. 12 and 13, 1916, terrible artillery duel ragged round them. Caught between the French and German barage fires. one by one the men died. while the burst Ing shells buried them under waves of torn-up ground. When the scene could be visited all that remained was line of bayonets protruding from the grouud.-Continenta Edition of the London Mall.
