SEEKING KIND HUSBANDS
Young Women of Holland Understand
That Americans Treat Their
Wives Well.

Thirty-five young women from Hol-
and stepped foot on American shores
The other day admitting they are
seeking kind husbands because they
heard hat American men are good to
their wives" Some American wives
may be inclined to enjoy q silent laugh
over this innocence displayed by the
HOllanders, but after the first humor-
Gus aspect of the situation has passed,
most of those who have enjoyed the
comedy will be einclined to believe
after all that there is much merit in
what these foreign women say about
the husbands of America, observes
the Bangor Commercial.
When one sits down and considers
the lot of women in many countries Of
Europe. and reflects upon the limited
opportunities which they possess for
enjoying life, II ought TO be a source
of mutual satisfaction both to hus-
bands and wives In America that they
are living In a country where q higher
standard of marital relationship OBJ
tains than in many foreign nations.

The first Bible printed in Scotland

same year, by act of parliament, every

CESS with Sc 800 had to provide, under
a penalty of $50, "a Bible and psalme
buque in ~vulgare language in THAR
houssis for the better instruction OF
thame selfis and THAR famelijs in the
knowledge of God" And to see that
the provisions of the above act were
carried into effect. the following year
a searcher was appointed with power
to visit the houses of those signiied
by the act. 'and to require the SIGHT
of their Psalme Buikis and Bybilis."

Birds on Abandoned Farms.

Naturalists have noticed that the
abandoned farms offer great oppor-
tunity for the study of bird life, and
the birds seem to frequent these To-
Sawyer of Syracuse, N. Y, who has
commented on this fact in articles for
various publications, says that while
the birds to be found at these places
are mostly Ct the commoner varieties,
for purposes of close observation the
abandoned farms offer great adj
vantages because of the numbers to be
encountered. Within 800 feet of one
of these houses he found nests with
eggs and young of eleven species.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women lave kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result Of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle i'm
mediately from any drug store.
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 Observation-Disclosures.

Capt. E. t. Pollock, governor Of
American Samoa. informed the navy de
partment that the turtle marked and
left in the Tonga islands by Capt. Cook,
the English mariner. in 1773, was seen
there a few weeks ago. Although tur-
ties have a record for longevity, this
particular one shows sig of extreme
age and is said, when walking. to creek
like an old ox-cart. In addition to be-
ing d decrepit at the tender age OF $50,
the animal is totally b ind. Generally,
turtles Of species this live to 400 years
and more.
