WANTS HIS MARKER
PAINTED BLOOD RED

Requesting that World war veter-
ans annually repaint his monument In
blood red ito act as a reminder of the
blood shed by Minnesota men," John
Bowe, Legionnaire and soldier Of for
tune of Candy, Mimi, has made his
last will and testament.
Bowe, whose service under colors
of several nations has brought him
one of the most unique fighting rec
ords in World war history, now past
fifty-6ve, is awaiting that last call for
service beyond. In the meantime he
has not forgotten the sacrifices of his
comrades, and by continuation of serv-
ice in the American Legion has earned
the admiration Of the fellows for his
fighting spirit.
His early life was one Of hardship.
In 1883 he went to Pierre, S. D., to
be in at the opening of Indian lands
(Which did not OPEN and had to trek
back to Deadwood on foot to secure
employment. The next year he rode
500 miles through the Dakotas to Mon
tana, on to Spokane. California, Utah,
Old Mexico, saw him in what were
nearly pioneer days. Service in the
war with Spain followed this adven-
turOus career.
Then abroad Bowe visited Portu-
gal, Spain, Italy, Morocco. AIgiers,
Egypt, Turkey, Palestine and Greece.
He saw Cuba, Panama, Venezuela,
Martinique and other Central Ameri-
can countries with odd and most dar-
ing of experiences practically every
where he visited.
He Is believed to be the first Min
nesotan to get into the World war;
in January Of 1915 he enlisted in the
French Foreign Legion. There he
served for one cent a day until Oeto-
Der Of that year when he was wound
ed in the Champagne attack near

WASHING SWEATERS

Before washing either a silk or a
wool sweater take the following meas
urements: Length of sleeve, width Of
sleeve at the wrist and at the big part
Of the upper arm, length of the body
of the sweater and the width across
the chest.
This will enable you to stretch the
sweater to the proper dimensions
when you lay it out to dry.
Make a soap solution Of a good
white soap or soap flakes. If you are
washing white sweaters, add two
tablespoonfuls of borax and four of
ammonia. In washing colored sweat
ers, 1t is better to omit the ammonia
as it may affect the color.
Let the sweater soak in this water
for three or four hours. Do not rub,
as rubbing causes wool to shrink.
Rinse in clear water. In washing
woolens, both the wash water and the
rinse water should not be more than
lukewarm.
Wringing also causes shrinking,
therefore the sweater should not be
wrung, but should be hung up In
pillowcase until the water stops drip
ping. 1t is then ready to be stretched
on a fiat surface, the floor, table or
the ground, If the surroundings per
NIT. In any case, clean sheet should
be placed beneath the sweater. Shape
the sweater to the measurements you
took before washing Have the sweat
er perfectly fiat and have the sleeves
at right angles to the body.
Either silk or wool sweaters may
be handled in this way, and the re-
suits are much more satisfactory than
dry cleaning.
White sweaters, which have become
yellowed, will be improved by allow
ing them to remain in bath of hydro
gen peroxide and ammonia for few
hours. The peroxide and ammonia act
as bleaching agent.
Sweaters. carefully washed, will
come out from the process looking

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
1t is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-
cine 1t helps the kidneys, liver and
bladder do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
It is sold by all druggists on its merit and
it should help you. No other kidney medi-
cine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to Dr.

Perhaps you, too, have been staring

where a bird in very lovely cage
hangs in the dining ROOM and mirror
in the hall reflects this charming bit
of form and color. Flowers, nodding
before a mirror, are doubled beauty.
A mirror hung over the service
table or buffet in the dining room is
a happy treatment for the walls of
room that usually offers problem in
decoration. Any picture, except just
the right one, is out of place in the
dining room and mirror is a solu-

The space over the mantel is place
where the right kind of mirror may
be used to advantage.
The choice of mirrors is limited by
price, where that has to be consid-
cred, but more especially by the type
of room In which 1t is to be placed.
The shops show many very cookbook
ing and some very reasonably priced
mirrors.
A pretty safe rule, in selecting mir
rors, is to buy the simple ones. They
fit in better with all types and kinds
of rooms and do not assert themselves
above everything else in the room.
You may have glass cut the desired
size and shape and framed in picture

thing more to your liking and possibly
for less money. Or you may have a
glass cut with bevel and have two
holes pierced in the glass and hang

expensive and an attractive mirror,
and as unframed mirrors are being
used so much right now, it may be the
