PRETTY COUNTRY HOMES

A pretty country home is a
sight that gladdens the soul of a
man if there is any sense. of
beauty in him. The home is not
necessarily a place with broad
acres and massive house, for it
may be very few acres and a
modest cottage. 1t is not the
size but the character that is ap-
pealing to the sinse of beauty.
Too often the farm is uninviting
by reason of the absence of the
attractive. Any country place is
capable of being transformed in
to a thing Of beauty. Paint.
flowers, order of arrangement
about the farm buildings 60 a
long way towards making a farm
attractive. Too often the scenery
is marred by the ill arrangement
of the barns and other houses.
They are built too near the dwell
ing, or at the side, or in some
location that detracts from the
general appearance of the place.
Then there is no effort at tree or
flower growing. A tree here,
one there; flowers arranged in
an attractive rather than hap
hazard manner will change the
whole appearance of the picture
and make place homelike.
It takes little money, some
labor and time and a real home is
the result. Make it the home
beautiful.

HYMN COVERED HIS RETREAT
Probably Young Clergyman Feared He
Would Get Into Yet Deeper Water
II He Kept On.

In Georgia they tell Of young
clergyman. newly settled over a large
parish. who had occasional fits of en-
barrassment when standing before his
congregation.
One Sunday, after reading notice of
woman's missionary meeting to be
held in the chapel few days later,
he endeavored to add a special appeal
of his own for large attendance.
After stating that it was to he a
meeting of great interest and import

why DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP-ROOT

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.
1t is physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is strengthening medi-
cine. IL helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit and
it should help you. No other kidney medi-
cine 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 paper.-Advertisement.
