WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have 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.
Ii 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 paper.-Advertisement.

BAR CLAY ROOFS IN JAPAN
Use of Heavy Materials for
House Coverings.

Inquiries for copper roofing to be
used in rebuilding the devastated jap
anesc cities have been made of the
| Copper and Brass Research associa-
tion. 1t is understood that these in
quirieS are from sources representing
the Japanese government. Except for
modern American construction Ia
Tokyo and Yokohama, all 5ouses were
rooted entirely with large, handmade
clay tile. These made a very heavy
roof, which, when the earthquake ire
mors first came, caused heavy casual
ties by falling On the fleeing people in
the streets, and by their weight
brought about a complete collapse Of
many houses which might otherwise
have resisted the earthquake shocks.
IT is understood that the japanese
government has already issued an or
der forhiddlng the use OF heavy roof
ing materials and is ~endeavoring to
obtain roofing Of the lightest possible
weight which is at the same time fire.
proof and earthquake proof.
The attention Of their experts has
been drawn to the possibilities OF cop
Der roofing, in view Of its light weight
and fire-resisting qualities.

"Well, l have rather expected it."

that my abandonment of the things

Jennie was silent.

looked at him as at a foolish man

chasing rainbows at her expense, and

The petition of the company was
filed in answer to request made
to the court by the Commission for
approval of q recent order reducing
electric rates about per cent.
Consumers today pay 10 cents
per kilowatt hour, OF which more

company wants the Commissions

taking all Of the 10 cents.
The petition Of the company also
asks for a re-hearing and re-argu-

reduced electric rates from 10 to 8

gave the company permission to col
