WOMEN need SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women nave kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it,
Women's complaints often prove ito be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or.
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am.
bition, nervousness, are often times symr.
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..

Gypsies apparently do not take
much stock in the feminiStic
theories. A swarthy nomad and his
gaily-dreSsed wife came into a .cigar
store on Cadillac square. He bought
some good cigars for himself and n
package Of pipe tobacco for her. She
demonstrated with him in gypsy Ian
guage about something, turned her
back 10 him and started for the door.
His face clouded with anger, he raised
his large foot and administered a Ius-
ty kick that was forceful enough to
send her through the swinging doors.
She made no protest and they walked
away together.-Detroit News.

When Governor McCray and others

they found the car already well filed.
The governor sat down by a small
boy from Fortville and a moment

with another member Of the party so
that they could continue a conversa-

Of the vibrant present. The recent
announcement Of the withdrawal of
the British protectorate from the
country, however, and the setting up
of It's first king in more than 1900
years turns the spotlight squarely on
the modern aspect of this long civil

The map lacks much Of giving one
the true picture of Egypt. The coun-

Cairo the Wonder City.

The stamp Of the outside world and
of the Twentieth century on Egypt is
TO be seen chiefly in Cairo, that Won
derland which has superseded Bag

Cairo is a living kaleidoscope. with
its cleaning and drab human frag-

tern no. merely from East and West,
but from North and South as well.
White-r0bed Bedouin, ill-clad fellah,
shiny-black Soudanese and central

Hindu, Monaghan, dusky Moor, ltal-
ian. Greek, Jew, Armenian, and the
whittier folk from Europe, America
and the antipOdes-all are jumbled
together I'm Cairo, their various tongues
making a babel that can hardly be
duplicated at any other spot on earth.
The life that flows along h streets
of Cairo could not be duplicated any
where else In the world. At times
the Western observer is likely to be
reminded forcibly Of circus parades
on Main Street DdCh Hoihc. o"hsihS
camels move along with brightly
dressed riders perched upon them or
with suspended cars In which are
yelled damsels, while drummers thun-
