important to all Women
Readers Of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney OF 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 a 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 despondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Rilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved 10 be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for a sample bottle TO see
what Swamp Root, the great kidney,
liver and bladder medicine, will do for
them. By enclosing ten cents to DR..
kilmer & Co., Binghamton. n. Y, you
may receive sample size bottle BY Parcel
Post. You can purchase medium and
large size bottles at all drug stores.

Gentleman George"
CTo BE CoNTINUED1
WEDNESDAY IN HOLY WEEK
Solemn Ceremonies in sistine Chapel
commemoratina the Death and
Resurrection Of Christ.

At the office of the Miserere, which
is sung in the Sistine chapel at Rome
on Wednesday Of Holy week, cere-
mony takes place in which a triangular
candlestick, upon which are 10 can
dies. corresponding to the number of
psalms recited, is placed at the epistle
side of the altar.
After each psalm, one of the candles
Is extingulshed by a master of cere-
monies and after the benedictus the
candle on the top is alone not extin-
guished, but is removed and concealed
behind the altar and not brought out
until the end of the service. While the
canticle is sung the six candles on the
altar are extinguished as well as those
above the rails.
The custom of cOncealing the last
and most elevated candle and bringing
IL forward burning at the end of the
service, is an allusion to the death and
resurrection of Christ. In the same
manner the other candles extinguished
one after the other may represent the
prophets who were successively put to
death before the crucifixlon Of their
Lord.

DIAMOND WORN BY CARLoTTA
"MaximiIlian Stone" With Unhappy
History, Is Now on Exhibition
at New York

A great greenish-white diamond,
known as the "Maximlllian stone," is
on exhibition for the first time in this
country at New York. Like all large
gems, this stone has a history which
is not happy. 1t was found in Brazil
about 1850, and in its rough state
weighed nearly so carats. Ferdinand
Joseph Maximillian, then archduke of
Austria, travelled extensively in South
America. While he was in Brazil he
bought the diamond, it is said, for a
price apprOximating S375,OO0.
The jewel today is in the same con-
dition as it was when worn by the En-
press Marie Charlotte in Maximillian's
short reign In Mexico.
When Maximillian was executed a
commission was designated. to sell the
diamond along with other gems that
had been part Of the gorgeous court.
The stone was bought by an American.
As part Of his estate the diamond is
again to be sold.

FINDS WOMEN HARD TO SUIT
They All Expect Beautiful PictureS
According TO Wall Made by
London photographer.

People were never so fastldlOus
about their photographs as they are
today. That is the conclusion | have
come to after 80 years experience.
One reason for this is the develop
ment of rapid photography. The fam
ny album type Of photograph Is dead.
The snapshots killed 1t. Now every
one wants to be taken" naturally,
with none of the stiffness and artifi-
ciality that characterized the photo
graphs of our grandmOthers.
In those days the photographer In
Tarlably used the formula, Look
pleasant, please!" or "Now smile =
with the result that It is almost impOs-
sible to find in any family album Of
the period a photograph that could be
said to be an actual likeness Of its
subject as he or she appeared at the
time.
The modern photographer, with a
knowledge of psychology as a neces-
sary part Of his equipment. realizes
that no one can smile naturally to
Order-that the genuine smile comes
from within. Consequently he does
not exhOrt the sitter to assume any
particular expression, but seeks to
catch the best possible lIkeness-smile
or no smile. This, incidentally, he
often manages to do without the sit
ter's knowledge.
Experience has taught me that
wOman's ideal CT a photograph differs
greatly from n mans. Her ideal Is
beauty; his is neutrality-suspicious.

Women hate to have their wrinkles

Are corns a Luxury7

When is a luxury tax? Represents
tive Aaron S. Kreider tells this story:
A woman went into a restaurant and
ordered plate of ice cream, and when
she came to pay. she had a check for
10 cents and . cents was added to II.
She asked: What does that 2 cents
mean?"
Well" she was told, as cents for
your ice cream and ? cents luxury
tax"
She paid it, and then she walked
across the street to the drug story and
asked for a corn plaster, and she got
a check for 10 cents, and 1 cent added.
She said: "What is the cent fOrT'
That is the luxury tax"
"WeIl," she said, this is the first
time ever knew that eOrns were a
luxury"
Now that Is the way II goes. There
are a great many things to be eOn-
sidered in discussing tax propositions.

Our Glorioua Emblem.

When Vermont and Kentucky were
admitted to the Union congress de-
creed that after May 1, 1895, "the flag
Of the United States be fifteen stripes,
alternate red and white, and that the
union be fifteen stars, white In a blue
field" 1t was seen that the addition
of a stripe for every new state would
change the aspect of the flag from time
to time, so on April 4, 1918. congress
passed a resolution reducing the num-
ber of stripes to thirteen Zone for each
of the original cOlonies) and declaring
that a new star should be added for
each state. Thus for twenty-three
years the official flag had fifteen
stripes.
