If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best
Dr. KiImer's SWamp-R0Ot

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain--the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it ful6lls almost
every wish in overcoming kidney, liver
and bladder ailments, corrects urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by parcel pest. Address DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and

THEN HELP MEL"

SYNOPSIS. - Nurses in the
Southern hospital at Avonmouth
are angered by the insolent
treatment accorded them by DR..
John Lancaster, head of the in
stitution, and there is a general
feeling of unrest, into which
Joan Wentworth. probationary
nurse, is drawn. Doctor Lam
caster is performing a difficult
operation, for which lie has won
fame. Joan, with other nurses,
is in attendance. She is upset,
through no fault of her own, and
makes a trivial blunder at crit
ical moment. The patient dies
and Doctor Lancaster accuses
her of clumsiness. She is sus-
pended, the action meaning the
end of her hope of career as
a nurse. Without relatives or
friends, and desperate, Joan,
urged by her landlady. goes to
Doctor Lancaster's Office to ask
him to overlook her blunder and
reinstate her. She overhears
violent alteration between Doc
tor Lancaster and other men she
does not see. Joan is struck by
the favorable change in the ap-
pearance and demeanor of the
doctor, recalling that at times in
the hospital he has been gentle
and thoughtful and at others su-
percilious and bullying. He tells
her he can do nothing for her at
the hospital, but offers her a po-
sition in a nursing institution in
the country. telling her she can
be of great assistance" to him.
A man named Myers demands
she tell him what the doctor had
said to her. She denies him the
information. and he covertly
threatens her. At the institu-
ton, which is owned by Doctor
Lancaster, Joan finds Myers. He
tells her he is the secretary. She
instinctively dislikes and fears
him. The only patient at the
institute is Mrs. Dana, de-
mented but harmless. Joan is
vaguely uneasy, feeling that
there is some mystery about the
place.

1T WAS Charles Lamb, l believe
who WAS responsible for the state
ment that you can't hate man when
you know him. Whether or not the
experience of people In general will
bear out this view, cannot say. l do
know, however, that a superficial ac-
quaintance with people tends to con-
firm one In pessimism most of US
seem to have our worst qualities on
the surface
1t is curious how few men we really
do know. Those whom we meet daily
at our places of business or in our
households are often strange to us.
Fathers and sons, mothers and d&ugh-
tiers, husbands and wives even. have
little real knowledge of each others
thoughts and characters. and the peo-
pie with whom we associate every
day are often as strangers to us. Even
our own brothers we often misunder
stand or have little sympathy for
1t is only when we get at the heart
of a man that we recognize his real
worth. l have wondered sometimes If
we could get into more intimate ac-
quaintance with our pet enemies or
with the devil even if we should not
find them less black than they have
been painted
| really ought to be pessimist, for
l have seen the worst sort Of men,
and SO many men at their worst. On
the contrary, however, as time goes on
my faith in human beings strengthens.
Even the worst Of men whom l have
known have revealed so many good
qualities when l have really got a,
them that l could not ADMIT that any
one was wholly bad. The evil which
had come to the surface, and which
had attracted attention, was only Incl
dental in most cases and the good
after all predominated.
At times when l get to the point of
admitting that no enc keeps faith. no
thing is sure to harper that drags me
back to safe harbor of hope and
faith and anchors me fast again.
Every day I get new insights into
human character. Fellows whom l
had supposed I knew through and
through SLOW traits that l had never
suspected, strong qualities which
through all the years of our associa-
ton had been entirely concealed

coffee, and making pretense of eating
| thin strips Of toast. His whole de-
meanor was that of a very i'll man.
And the transformation terrified her.
All her preconceived ideas of him had
vanished. She could make nothing of
him. She felt deep sense of relief
when the meal ended.
Then Lancaster looked at her with
the same furtive expression that she
read in the face of everybody there.

deal of your time here. There was
nothing unexpected about your visit
last night. You knew that you would
come here when you employed me-"
She must have spoken more angrily
than she knew. for the web of decep-
ton was smothering her, and she felt
that her position was becoming unen-
durable. For an instant a glimmer Of
amusement passed over the doctors
face.
"Why Miss Wentworth, you are a
regular spitfire," he said
at is true, then?'
"Well-yes. it is true. My work at
Avonmouth is not too exacting for me
to come here frequently"

you did not tell me. And you limited

Myers, who had come up and plant

his challenge.
"She likes the institute all right

"but l reckon she don't like me- b

There was an indescribable insolence
in the mans tone. Joan looked for
one of Lancaster's explosions of fam
ing wrath. But to her amazement
none came. He seemed struggling to
control himself. He flushed and looked
from one to the other.

tating. 81 think things will turn out all
right. Miss Wentworth and you won't
conflict in any way. You mustn't quar-
rel, you know. I want all my en-
ployees to like each other" he ended
weakly.
And he gave Joan the impression of
pitiful impotence, as if he were some

surrendered his will to him-Lancas-

other laugh, the man left them and

Il think breakfast is ready, Miss

moment, offering the girl his arm.
But Joan gave him hers instead, and
they went together into the dining
room.
She was glad to see that Myers was
not to eat with them. Hungry as she
was, she could not have taken break

now she could hardly manage to eat,
