Swamp Root Fine Medicine

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, irritable
and may be 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 DIR. Kilmer &
Co., Binghamton, N. Y, you may receive
sample size bottle. by parcel post. You
can purchase medium and large size bottles
at all drug ores.-Advertisement.

MARY
SUCCEEDS
ON
MAIN STREET
By LAURA MILLER
ALBION FELLOWS BACON
G by Laura Mile.

Ii the names of women who are ac-
comprising things are familiar at all,
the name of Albion Fellows Bacon will
conJure up some memory in the vaguest
mlnd. To get vivid picture OF the
valuable work she is doing for better
housing, alone, one must get well ac-
quainted.
For a beginning, one ought to run
through population statistics CT the
1920 United States census. Get that
unsentimental number of families, and
number of domiciles l think is the
word they use-available for those
same families, on whose success the
success of the nation rests. Read of
city, town Oh country crossroads :;
choose from New York or Alabama or
California-or any state. The sheer
shortage of housing, irrespective of its
adequacy in rooms or sanitation or
other factors, is shocking. Then send
TO the National Housing association for
some of the pamphlets Mrs Bacon has
written. Or hunt up the nearest wide.
awake college or women's club, and see
whether it hasn't copy of "What Bad
Housekeeping Means to the Com.
munity."
Whether there are positions to be
flled by young women who want to be
OF service in promoting better housing,
and who have not the creative vision Of
Mrs. Bacon, | do not know. Perhaps
the association mentioned might know.
Or letter to the Bureau of Vocational
Information, . West Forty-third street,
New York city, would probably help.
In any case, should go in search Of
advice on how to learn housing in the
small community and rural housing, to
see If program to fit my own home
town could be worked out
And I'd get acquainted with Mrs. Ba-
con. Not by personal letter to Evans
vile. busy woman cannot put much
OF herself into casual correspondence.
I'd get at her spirit of service through
the best she can write, which is what
she has put in print. One is book
called Beauty for Ashes. Another is
Consolation, published by the Allan
tic Monthly Press Another message is
in the pageant, citizenship Day" writ

ems Clubs, and very attractively filmed,
as l personally can testify, under the
direction of Mrs. Baker and Mrs. Percy

could easily find out how to show 1t

national ones in the same breath, do
you know that any public library can

any in the United States-if you will

They will continue the habit as other

Working the Rule

A mother was sending her little girl
to the post Office in small town with
10 cents to buy five 2-cent stamps for
the five letters she was sending. She
had been in the habit of giving the
few extra pennies left from purchase
to the little girl, SO she said:
what will I get back, mother?"
Nothing, dear, 1 am sending the
exact amount" but the negative reply
brought disappointment to the little
girl.
Immediately the conversation was
changed to loving people, the mother
telling her that if we love people they
will love us. that we get back what
we give. The little girl looked up
with a face beaming with hope.
''Then 1 ought to get this 10 cents

Lobsters and Small Boys

A curious point of similarity has
been discovered by Canadian scien-
lists between little Holsters and little
boys. The scientists have found that
the Holsters do not like cold water.
The corresponding trait in the juve-
nile male of the human species is a
matter of common observation. DR..
A. g. Huntsman, biologist of the bio
logical board of Canada, has found
that Holsters are abundant and small
Holsters, particularly fry, present in
any considerable numbers only in wa
ters with summer temperature of so
degrees or higher. Adult Holsters will
survive in colder water. but the
Younger ones are discouraged sooner
