Important to All Women
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
and bladder medicine, will do for them. By
enclosing ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. T., you may receive sam
pie size bottle by parcel post. You can

And all the barnyard creatures
gathered around Red Top as he stood
on top of the stump and they listened
to his lecture.

Il don't believe" interrupted an
other rooster, ''that lecturers speak

put those in to make my lecture sound
fine.
''As to speaking of my honored self

so wants and it is better to be honest

''No a lecture should be finished be-

1.-THE secret of a good lecture is to
have it short"
"Well," I'll take the hint" said Red
Top "if only you let me begin and
so have chance to finish"
Eyes, he must begin If he is to
finish" said Mrs. White Hen.
So all the barnyard creatures lis
tened and Red Top began to crow
again. And then he said these things
'Barnyard friends, be good citizens

Let US hope to make it the best barn

make it the best barnyard if we will

We mustn't knock it. We can be
