II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the 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-Root, a
preparation / 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

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DIR.

Improved Moorlnu Mast.

The United States army air service
now has In use a new type of mooring
mast, especially designed to be easily
transported from place to place, writes
George It. Paul, in st. Nicholas. 1t is
made in four sections, each IS feet
long, and will properly handle ships
from the smallest size, $4,000 cubic
feet, to ships as large as the Roma,
which had a capacity of 100000
cubic feet. 1t consists Of a structural
steel tower securely held in position
by steel cables. At the top of this
mast is a c~one-shaped buffer, properly
pivoted; into this, fits the nose of the
airship. A winch mechanism at the
base of the tower reels In a cable that
is passed up the center of the mast
over sheave wheels at the top and
fastened directly to the nose of the
airship. The work of landing an air
ship and attaching It to the mooring
mast is relatively simple. AS the air
ship comes near the mast, the moor
ing line is dropped from an elevation
of between 100 and 200 feet, and the
end of 1t is fastened to the end of the
mooring mast cable. With the winch
In operation, the nose Of the airship is
steadily pulled up into the padded
Here 1t is secure from any damage
from ordinary weather conditions. AS
this buffer is pivoted, the airship flies
