Use Glass-Faced Bricks for Swimming Pools
:x*x*x.x"x"x"x"x~x,

Glass-faced bricks with concrete
backing have been more or less used
in various parts of the country. They
seem to be superior to any form of
tile or glazed brick as lining for
tunnels, swimming pools or bath
rooms for the inside walls of garages
engine houses, prisons. meat markets
and other structures where perfect
cleanliness is as desirable as difficult.
They are heat and cold resisting, re-
quiring no paint or other treatment to
preserve their appearance. For shops
and factories the concrete-backed glass
brick would seem an almost ideal ma
terial. The construction of the brick
Is as follows: To glass facing, one
fourth inch thick at its thinnest part,
is attached weIl-proportioned con-
crete back. The concrete backing is
attached to the glass front by three
separate means, each entirely sufficient
to secure the union Of the two ma
terials. First, the cement on the con-
crete adheres to the glass; second,

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Should
Use Swamp-ROOt

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmers Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root is on sale at all drug stores
in bottles of two sizes, medium and large
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.-Advertisemen

at him with some Of their old-time
vivacity.
II am so glad" she said. "It seems
almost like old times"
They gave their orders, and sat in
silence through an overture. Grant
was delighting himself simply in her
presence. and guessed that for her part
she could not retract the confession
her love had wrung from her so long
ago.
There are some things which don't
change. Phyllis" he said, when the

She looked back at him with eyes

There seemed no reason why Grant
should not there and then have laid
himself, figuratively, at her feet. And
there was not any reason-only one.
He wanted first to go West. He almost
hoped that out there some light of
establishment wonld fall about him ;
that some sudden experience would
readjust his personality in accordance
with the Inevitable.

Form, Dense S.Dan,ps

A mangrove swamp is formation
common on seacoasts and tidal river
shores in tropical and sub-tropical
climates. The dominant vegetation
consists of mangrove trees inter-
spersed with plants Of similar habit.
The accumulation of debris and mud
among the roots and trunks builds
up the land so that bays are filled
and river banks extended until the
streams are restricted to narrow
channels between dense walls of trees
which completely conceal the shores.
Many such swamps are found on the
coast of Florida.

satisfaction in response ito his COM
panion's somewhat pointed references
as to his doings of the night before.
There are times, Under" he said,
when my soul Graves solitude. You,
being sergeant, and therefore having
no soul, will not be able to understand
that longing for contemplation"
IT'S all right" said Under. II don't
want her."
Furthermore" Grant continued, "to-
night mean to resume my soliloquies,
and your absence will be much in de-
mand."
"The supply will be equal to the de
mand."
Good Here are some morsels of
money. If you will buy our railway
tickets and settle with the chief extor-
ZIONIST downstairs, will join you at
the night train going west"
Under sprang to attention, gave a
salute In which mock Difference could
not entirely obscure the respect be-
meath, and set about on his commits
sions, while Grant devoted the after
noon to a session with Murdoch and
Jones, but 1t was noted that Grants
interest conferred more In a certain
telephone call than In the very graft
flying financial statement which Muir
doch was able to place before him.
And 1t was probably as a result of
that telephone call that taxi drew up
in front of Murdoch's home at exactly
six-thirty that evening and bore Miss
Phyllis Bruce and an officer wearing
captains uniform In the direction
of the best hotel In the city.
The dining room was sweet with the
perfume of flowers, and soft strains of
music stole vagrantly about it's high
arching pillars, mingling with the chat
ter of lovely women and of men tn
whom expense was no consideration.
Grant was conscious of a delicious
sense of intimacy as he helped Phyllis

Fruit-Producing States

California produces approximately
20 per cent Of the oranges grown in
the United States, Florida being the
only other state producing any con-
siderable quantity. Nearly all of the
lemons grown in the United States
are produced in California. A lemon
grove near Santa Paula Is said TO be
the largest in the world. The guam
