WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
 SWAMP-R0OT

For many years druggists have watched with much interest the remarkable record maintained by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder medi- cine.
 It is physician's prescription.
 Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi- cine. It helps the kidneys, liver and blad- der do the work nature intended they should do.
 Swamp-Root has stood the test of years. It is sold by all druggists it's merit and it should help you. No other kidney medicine has so many friends.
 Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start treatment at once.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this Advertisement.

TANLAc KEEPS HIM

Has Used 1t for Years With Splendid Resuits-Fine for Run Down
 Condition.

''For four years Tanlac has kept me in the pink of condition as I take a few doses Of it every time I feel a little run down and it always builds me up again." said Wm. A. McGraw, 2O7 Beach Place, Tampa, Fla
 'I began taking Tanlac first about four years ago when I was in a very bad state of health and had been run down for several years. l was always taking laXativeS, too, but I believe they did me more harm than good.
 ''TanIac made me feel like a brand new man in a very short time. and I have never had a return of any of my old troubles. The reason of this I am firmly convinced is that I always have Tanlac handy and take a few doses every time I feel a bit under the weather"
 Tanlac is sold by all good druggists.

She Is Considered TaIkative.

A Northeast matron is considered talkative. Her chatter usually is bright and entertaining and her good friends only laugh at her Ioquacious- ness Others, not such good friends, sometimes complain they can't "get a word in edgewise," when she is the company. Two friends called Sunday. They were met at the door by Elmer, nine years old. He admitted them, then went to the stairs and called:

like the pigs. But gracious me, we do like to eat. "It is said that goose will eat as much as a COW. Yes, that is what has been said and that is the truth too.
 That is splendid I think, for a COW is much bigger than goose.
 ''Yes, a COW is very, very much big ger than goose. One thinks of a COW as an enormous animal, but one doesn't think of a goose as so very enormous
 "That is so,'' shrieked Mrs Goose What you say is very true.
 'I think it is splendid to think of how much we can eat and yet we're not so enormous.
 "We will eat all the time and we're not very fussy about our food. We will eat almost anything we can get hold of and will enjoy it.
 we have a regular system about our eating, and system is very su- perior. People have a system about eating too when they eat breakfast and dinner and supper.
 But our system is greatly superior for we eat all the time as we've said.
 "To be sure people eat between meals, but they're not almost con- Stantly eating as we are.
 ''They're doing other things. Per haps it keeps us from having great brains to eat all the time.
 For awhile a creature must eat to be well and to be wise too, still we take up all the time in eating when others would be using some of that time thinking of how they could study and improve their minds or something foolish like that.
 Probably we're called geese because we think such things ds studying and thinking are foolish and a waste of time. Perhaps that is why it is. But who cares? Not a goose at least.
 But our system is so splendid. We eat all the time as we've said sev- eral times already, but after we eat we get a drink and wash down our food and then we eat again.
 That's system
 "It most certainly is," said Gander.
 "We will go in the garden and eat up all the cabbage if we get the chance" he added.
 We've done that" grinned Mrs. Goose.
 "We have our own ways of doing things. We hide our nest" she con- tinued, (which I build and then you sit by me while I'm matching the eggs and you are very sOciable and friend ly to me.
 'Five or fifteen eggs-it makes not such a great deal of difference"

Worth While.

A little boy stood at the garden gate and hOwled and howled and howled. A passing lady paused beside him.
 ''What's the matter, little man?" she asked
 "O-o-ohI'' he walled. "Pa and ma won't take me to the movies"
 But don't make such a noise. Do they ever take you when you cry like that?''
 "S-s-sometimes they d-do and some times they d-don't,' wept the lad, ''but it ain't no trouble to yell."-American Legion Weekly.

And they grow up to be big and splendid and rather foolish too like the whole Goose family.
 That's just the way they should do too. Oh, yes, a Father Gander is very proud of his children.
 "Well, Mrs. Goose, '.it has been nice to have had chance to tell some of our ways.
 'SometimeS we don't receive much attention-but then 1t is our own fault for we like to go off by ourselves and pay no attention to others !''

Fish Stories.

Representative Merrick was talking in Oklahoma City about a fish specu- lator who had made millions during the war.
 Its good fish story he said, "and fish stories are popular. In fact, they've been a popular ever since the days of Jonah.

 August Lutteken of Denver, one of the largest stamp collectors in the world, has an envelope mailed in 1859 which is valued at $12,5OO.
 There are no postage stamps on the envelope. It bears only what were known as postmasters' stamps, requir- ing payments of cents overseas post age and the collection of another 5 cents postage from the addressee on delivery. No street address appears because such letters could be received only by calling in person at the post office. The practice was discontinued about the time of the Civil war and specimens have become so rare that Lutteken asserts the one he holds is, in his belief, the only one extant

Would Eliminate Strikes
/ believe in labor unions and their
right to collective bargaining-at pres
ent they claim their only remedy for
the injustice and wrongs is "a strike
which entails loss of earninfs and
profits for all concerned and brings
good or gain to no one.
Some method-or power-should be
devised whereby labor should be as
powerful as capital and can secure it's
rights without strike which brings
no good to any one.
Both labor and capital should work
under the law, and justice should be
melted out to both. Some just method
should be adopted under the law that
would safeguard labor rights without
necessitating the loss caused by strikes.
When prejudice, suspicion and class
hatred prevail, power gravitates into
the hands of the weak, and it is then
that demagogues thrive upon dissension,
and we'll meaning statesmen sicken up
on strike.
