Readers Of This Paper

Thousands upon thousands Of women
have kidney or 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.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss Of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irri-
table and maybe respondent; it makes
any one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health
to the kidneys, proved TO be Just the
remedy needed to overcome such condi
tions.
Many send for a sample bottle to see
what Swamp-Root. the great kidney, liver
md bladder medicine, win do for them. BY
enclosing ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co,
Binshamton, N. Y, you may receive sam
Die size bottle by parcel post. You can

That Backyard Garden.

The backyard garden, which has
been walled in with trees and shrubs,
a lattice or a fence, to obtain privacy
and TO keep out unpleasant views, and
which has been planted with flowers,
either In a border or In formal beds,
will be n pleasant place, indeed, in
which to pass a summer afternoon or
evening.

Let us encourage song birds that stay
the season through. The brown
thrasher and cat bird are the most

BUILD HOUSE LARGE ENOUGH
When Planning Home 1t Is Impera-
tive That There Should Be an
Eye on the Future.

If In building a home one cannot
build 1t large enough to accommodate
a family of the size he expects eventu-
ally to have occupy it, 1t is not a diff
cult matter to so plan that an addi-
tional room, or several of them, may
be added later.
One of the easiest ways to increase
the size of a house Is by the addition
of n wing in the form of an L, or by
the building of two such wings. This
latter arrangement is particularly
good, as 1t balances the house and gives
a semi-inclosed area at the back which
may be converted into an attractive
patio.
If the house is a one-story affair II Is
only necessary to provide a hallway
from VIII II stairs may later ascend,
and then. as the family increases, to
add a second story. But this latter
method Is usually not so good. If 1t Is
the intention to have a two or three
story house ii is better to start out
with 1t. even though 1t may be small,
and then add to 1t as desired. This is
well accomplished by leaving the Sec
ond story unfinlshed.-Kansas City

EASY TO HAVE FINE GARDEN
Some Attractive Features Outlined
Here-Campfire Site Is One of
the Best Put Forward.

The wild grapevine is invaluable for
covering a fence or old stump with a
veil Of beauty, and while its blossoms
are not conspicuous, they are wonder
fully fragrant, pertaining the air for a
distance. The fruit is a favorite of
birds.
Another feature that will make a pri-
vate garden more attractive Is a camp
fire site, an idea which lens Jensen has
popularized. Before the days of flint
and finder, Indians guarded their camp
fires day and night to prevent them
from going out; and old camp sites
show the hearths used for this purpose.
They are oval or round depressions.
paved with stones. Such a hearth in a
suitable location in your garden, where
n fire may be built without injury to
grass or shrubs, will be a rallying point
in h outdoor living room after the
sun has gone down. Skillful manage
ment will make 1t keep mosquitoes at
a distance in midsummer, and when
the evening air has grown chill, the
campfire will p~rolong the season of en-
joyment out of doors
Who would not consider a garden
with attractions such as have been
described a valuable addition to a
home? Such a garden is within the
power of any one who controls a back
yard where shrubs will grow; and it
may be brought about at a surprising
ly small expense, provided the owner
lends his mind to the task and does
not demand three-year results for one
months labor.

Gompers Fights
to Dust Radicals

New York, May 5-Samuel Com
pers today launched what labor
leaders interpreted as fight to drive
from the American Federation OF
Labor the radical movement repre-
sented by the Trade Union Education
League, including w. q. Foster and
c. d. Ruthenberg.
Denouncing the OEc Big Union as
the ideal of men whose slogan was
"Amalgamate On annihilate," MIR.
Gompers said:
IF these men had all the gold of
the capitalist class in their pockets
they could not better serve the
capitalists to the detriment OF the
working man than by doing just
what they are doing"
Despite their efforts. he said. the
A. f. of L. was going to maintain
the labor movement along the logi-
cal, national. natural and historical
lines denoted in the progress OF it's
developr ent.
Mr. Gompers' address was deliv-
cred before the biennial convention
of the United Cloth Hat and Cap
Workers of America, an organiza-
ton which was thrown out Of the
A. F. of L. in 1917 during jurisdic-
tional fight with the United Hatters'
Union of America, over whom should
be permitted to organize the mill
liners.
Max Zaritsky, president of the hat
and cap makers. predicted that, as a
result of Mr.. Gompers' speech. the
two unions would settle their differ
erces. leaving the~hatters' to accept
the A. F. of L. chiefs implied invi-
tation for them to rejoin tn fedora
tion. This would add 10000 members
to the A. f. of L., 600 0of them in
New York iCty.
Although Mr.. Gompers mentioned
no names in his denunciatiOn of
'cliques within labor organizations"
and declined later to discuss the pro-
gram of the A. +. of L.. drive against
what was termed the radical menace,
the labor leaders said they had been
given to understand Enthusiastically
that the effort was to be directed
against the Education League.
Just before Mr.. Gompers took the
platform. a resolution generally con-
demning radical organizations within
unions was voted unanimously.
