May Give Gems Color.

If experiments now being carried
on at the Reno station of the bureau
of mines are successful, says the Min
ing Congress Journal, it will be posi-
Bile to give color to colorless gems
which exist in abundance in the West.
The experiments So far have produced
results which are considered promis-
ing. The penetrating radiation Of
radium is the agency through which
gems are being colored. In a prelim-
mary experiment, a colorless Colorado
topaz was tinted yellow. The coloring
when exposed to light was found to be
not permanent, and the experimental
ton continues with a view to making
the color light-proof. Successful
termination of the experiments would
add materially to the value of western
gem stones, whose market value is low
on account Of their lack of the tint
qualities deemed essential for gem
manufacturers.

Il You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t 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.
prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation l 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 TIE 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
