Il is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised all at once drop out
Of sight and are econ forFottenl The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises Of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly TO a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
euratite 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 DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root, q
preparation 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 a
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,
50 many people claim, that it fulfills almost
every wish in overcoming kidney, liver
md bladder ailments, corrects urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.

''they are sea animals. And you may

laughed Billie Brownie Then he
added:
II don't suppose the Sea Cucumbers
would like 1t II they had heard me ask
II they were vegetables In fact was
quite sure they were vegetables
SO Billie Brownie called on the Sea
Cucumbers.
I'VE are pretty smart" they told
Billie Brownie. I'VE can change our
shapes.
"Now. most creatures can't do that.
They can grow, Of course, and they
do grow. but they simply grow larger
They don't actually change their
shapes"
Maybe they are satisfied with theiI
shapes as they are" said Billie
Brownie, as he looked at the curious
sea creatures.
They certainly looked like vege

bers. A fine and unusual name, Billie
Brownie.
Surely you must admit that"
Billie Brownie certainly did admit it
as he said good-by to these curious
creatures and thanked them for hay-
ing told him the reasons for their
name.
Then he called on the starfsh fam
lily.
you've been talking to those con-
ceited Sea Cucumbers." one of the
members of the starash family told
Billie Brownie.
Maybe they cam change their
shape. but If you want to hear of
cleverness listen to what we can do.
1--WE can grow new arms.
Nov, others can't do that. If we
lose an arm, or If an arm is hurt,
we simply do away with that arm and
grow another.
Sometimes we grow as many as
three or four new arms. Surely this is
useful and ornamental, to.
1T is useful to be able to grow new
arms, and it is ornamental to have new
arms in the place of old ones or In
jured ones or none at ALL
We've heard people by the seashore
speak of being useful and ornamental
at the same time. It's hard for many
to accomplish.
'But not for US, not for US.
'fWe love oysters and such food, and
If you will pardon me now. Billie
Brownie, 1 must go to the big oyster
banquet to be held in Starfish Palace
this evening" q
Billie Brownie said good-by, and he
went back TO his own engagement in
Brownieland that evening with stories
of two most curious creatures Of the
sea.
Everyone In Brownieland was inter
ested in hearing about these two fam
lies and OF their curious ways.
For surely 1t is curious to be able
to grow arms or change ones shape
entirely and then change 1t still more
times.
And surely. too, 1t is curious to be
a sea animal and yet look like a yege-
