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 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-
tons.
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. Y, you may receive SAM
pie size bottle by parcel post. You can
purchase medium and large size bottles at

Dear Miss Brooks :


You have helped so many with your
excellent advice want to ask you some
questions. Cd I had my hair cut last
August and it has been coming out. 1t
didn't seem to come out right after it
was cut but it has been falling quite a
lot lately My hair was very thick be-
fore it was cut (2) When one has
the hair on the back of the neck clipped
has it a tendency to make it grow
down lower and sitter on the neck?
will come to you again when I am in
trouble. Yours, DAISY, Utah.
Welcome, Daisy. % Very often the
hair has a season" of falling out. Did
it never do this before it was cut? I
would not advise using the vaseline too
often and do not shampoo more than
every three weeks. 1 see no reason
why the treatment you have been CIV
ing it should cause the hair to come
out. Do not brush too vigorously, as
you may irritate the scalp. Massage the
scalp gently with the finger tips and
see that it is free from dandruff. (2)
Clipping the hair does cause it to be-
come coarse and stiff, yes and as the
clippers are run down farther on the
neck, it causes the hair which would
otherwise be unnoticed, to grow in
coarser and SITTER, which makes it ap-
pear to be growing down farther on the
neck.

With the football season for the
young men coming OH; with the
baseball season closing and with
the memory of recent nationally and
locally discussed boxing matches and
prize fights in mind, the physical side
of life has been and is about to be
emphasized. The question suggests
itself what sort of men does the coun-
Try need Just now; what sort of men
and women does the city need? After
answering this the other question fol-
lows. should the strenuous activities
be submerged in more intensely ap-
piled mental training?
In the city there is mayor who is
Inclined to "do things" although some
do not agree with him in many of his
actions. All in all his administration
has been a pretty harmonious one.
and certainly he has suggested and
insisted on many almost drastic ac-
tivities. This is no propaganda for

CHARLES MUELLER.

Charles Mueller whose death oc-
CURED Saturday was man who got
great deal of satisfaction from the
better things in life, enriching his in
4 ner self by an appreciation of fine
paintings and fine music. Although
the fact was known only to few
intimates, Mr.. Meuller was con-
noisseur of art and could appraise
the worth Of a painting with a fl
deity enjoyed only by those who de-
~vote their lives to studying this sub
ject.
AS a musician, Mr.. Mueller had a
background formed through familiar
izing himself with the works of the
masters and through personal ac-
quaintance with some of the fore
most composers of Europe. He was a
student of the violin, and was the
owner of two instruments which are
said to be among the most valuable
in this part of the country.
Friends took delight in listening to
him discuss topics related to music
and painting. His knowledge on these
two points was broad, his pleasure
gained from true appreciation of
their worth was intense.
