Don't argue over trifles. Whats
the odds whether Rover died on Fri
day or Saturday?
Don't pry into peoples business. 1t
isn't any picnic of yours where the
preachers wife got her new dress or
how much Mrs. Sparks paid for her
d%avenette or why Mr.. Green calls at
the bank so often.
Don't be a pack-horse for gossip. If
that bit of scandal is true why stir
1t about and keep the stencil in public
nostrils? And If 1t isn't true-well,
you ought to be shot for repeating 1t.
Don't be too "sot" in your religious

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 PLAINTIFF 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 DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation l nave 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
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who nave
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
SO many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; c~orrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., B~inghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles

A joke is being told on an absent
minded eastern professor. He was TAX
Ing some students to the country to
study rocks. AT the station he said.
I'VE haven't a watch. Wen need one
or Wen miss the train back. John,
run home and get mine.''
Have 1 time before the train

Yes" said the professor. pulling
out his watch, you have about 10

Then Dad Said!

Mr.. Brown had got into the habit of
lighting his cigar after dinner, puff
ing at 1t for a while, and then laying
it down on the ash tray. Later he
would relight 1t and finish his smoke.
Often three or four cigar-ends would
be on the tray at once.
One day his little boy, sitting near,
watched his dad light one of the small
ends, and said:
How do you like that one, dad?"
''This, my boy, is a very, very good
cigar'-blowing long puffs into the
air.
