' UFE SAVED BY FRIEND'S ADVICE 'About three years ago I suffered with appendicitis and after having an operation performed it left me with a severe case of kidney trouble. I was doctored by several physicians and getting no relief I took the advice of a friend and procured a bottle of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. After taking the contents of the first bottle I felt greatly relieved and decided to continue it. After using the contents of three more dollar bottles, I experienced a complete cure. I cannot recommend Dr. Kilmer*! Swamp-Root too highly to anyone suffering from kidney or bladder trouble. Yours very trulv, E. P. HILAM. Cartersville, Ga.

A parlor lamp which did duty for the same young man seven nights in the week had struck, and was slowly going out. The red glow grew fainter and fainter, and us the shadows merged one by one into the gloom a weird and eerie feeling crept into the young girl's soul. "George." she asked, in tones that were tremulous with suppressed agitation, "what would you do if you were strapped band and foot in a chair while a candle, stuck in the top of a keg of gunpowder a foot from your head, burned slowly down and down and down. And George/ who has been gazing expectantly at the lamp, answered, "I would blow it out." She shivered. Worries of Rich Women.

"At that time : was neanny ana enjoyed life. At first I noticed no bad effects from the indulgence but In course of time found that various troubles were coming upon mo. "Palpitation of the heart took unto itself sick and nervous headaches, kidney troubles followed and eventually my stomach became so derangq^ that even a light meal caused mo serious distress. "Our physician's prescriptions failed to help me and then I dosed myself with patent medicines till I was thoroughly disgusted and hopeless. "Finally I began to suspect that coffee was the cause of my troubles. I experimented by leaving It off, except for ono small cup at breakfast. This helped some but did not altogether relievo ray distress. It satisfied me, however, that I was on the right track. "So I gave up coffee altogether and began to use Postum. In ten days I found myself greatly Improved, my ? nerves steady, my head clear, my kidneys working better and better, my heart's action rapidly improving, my appetite improved and the ability to eat a hearty meal without subsequent suffering restored to me. And this condition remains. "Leaving off coffee and using Postun. did this, with no help from drugs, as 1 abandoned the use of medicines when I begun to use the food drink."

"Dick and I have quarreled. Have to withdraw f om your house party. Sorry It is In our honor. Keep It hidden. Lie if necessary. He's sure to apologize. Trixy." Hastily she tore open the second envelope. "Trlxy and I have scrapped. Unable ko n-lth vnn Trtimn lin something to tell your friends. Don't let the truth out Expect to make up Boon. She's sure to be sorry. Dick." "Well, now what am I going to dor In her distress Mrs. Teddy flung open the screen door with a bang and went out on the veranda to calm her nerves and to concoct a story to tell ber guests. "Just the thing!" Her eyes danced as she ran down the steps to meet the young man plodding up the walk under the burden of two suit cases. "Hurry up, Bob! You must come to my sitting room right away." And she added, as she fairly hauled him up there. "You simply must help me out of a perfectly awful hole. Just wait a m uient!" She dashed from the room, and as oulckly came back, bringing with her a girl, fresh and dainty in a white 1 lingerie dress. Her dark hair fell In loose soils about her neck as Mrs. Teddy unceremoniously pusho d her Into a chair. The young people exchanged nods of recognition, too amazed to speak, Bob concentrating his gaze on the girl's hair, apparently fascinated. "Emily, Bob," Mrs. Teddy was thinking rapidly, "you're both good friends of Trlxy and Dick, aren't you?" Two heads bobbed simultaneously. 'Then I'll tell you. They've squabbled! Oh, no, nothing serious," as she saw the expression on their faces, Just a little tlCf. It will blow over In a day or two. Nevertheless, that ' "Trlxy and I Have Scrapped." i doesn't help ray cause along, as I've Invited tbe6e people to meet them right away. Trlx and Dick don't want it known, as people will immediately begin to gossip. Now Emily, no one has met you yet, and Bob, you've Just come, so I want you to make believe you're Trlxy and Dick!" "What!" Emily's face was rosy red. "I'll do It!" Bob cast an admiring glance at Emily. That young woman tilted up her nose, but grew redder ; still. Mrs. Teddy took In the situation with a gasp. Her motives became double. "Do it?for Trixy's sake, dear," she coaxed, and without waiting for Era! lly'8 consent, she Jumped up and disappeared. "Why, Bob, I didn't say 'yes!'" Emily pouted. "You'ro in for it now, Emily. Buck up and face the guns!" Bob's eyes twinkled mischievously. "Oh, Bob, Isn't it awful! Can't we back out?" There was panic in her voice. "I'm afraid not?" "Oh, very well. But do hurry, before I lose my courage." However, instead of hurrying herself she took tbo pretty shell comb from her hair, def ly running It through the loosened strands and catching them together. As she piled it high upon her head she looked around and met Bob's eyes. "Why are you staring at me?" she demanded as distinctly as she could, with several hair pins between her teeth. "Don't fix your hair so high, Emily. I like It better low." "H'ml Wo'ro onlv entraeed. 1 don't bavo to obey?yet!" she re1 torted. "That's ro!" he laughed, then added. "But before we {to down, I'd better warn you that engaged couples generally she-., a little affection toward c <h other once In awhile, so?I may have to kiss you!"

In these waters it Is often necessary for vessels to pass t each other in narrow passages. Often confusion results when tho pilot of i one boat Is unable to hear the signal of the other owing to the strong wind blowing the sound In the opposite direction. With the new signal, at each blast there is a corresponding flash, so that In the event ol the signal be^ lug lost to the ear it will be visible. Another Improvement, which has been made In this respect Is that of elevating the whistle to a point four feet above the pilot house, so that in windy weather the signals may be interpreted during the day by watching the blasts cf st^ftm from the whistle.

Bob placed his arm around her waist and drew her unresistingly through the large French window Into the parlor. "Let's watch!" giggled two of the girls, Jusr at the silly age. The newly engaged pair sat down on the Bofa, but after a moment Emily jumped up and ran to a Beat at the other end of the room. "What's the matter?" asked Bob. "I'm afraid!" gasped Emily, blushing. "Afraid?of what?" 'That you'll have to?1& kiss me I! we sit at such close quartersI" Emily blurted out "I may, If somebody should peek through tho window. You see, It would be my duty; otherwise; they'd think we were fighting, and rightly, too, especially If you sit In one corner of the room and I In another." Suddenly his voice became Imperious. "Emily! Come here?quickly! Somebody Is looking now!" Emily mechanically obeyed, dropping limply on the sofa. "There's some one coming Into the room!" "Oh!" groaned Emily, and burled her face on his shoulder; but only because Bhe was nervous. "Let us go out among them; then they won't expect us to do so much of this."

The two deserted oneB stood motionless In the middle of the hall. "Dob," Faid Emily at last, with a start, "Bob, do you know you havo still got your arm around me, and we're not engaged any longer?" The screen door swung open and they heard Mrs. Teddy's voice. "Why, of course, you misunderstood the names?these are Trlxy and Dick. The other two were Emily Waldron and Dob Warlck. Yes, they Just berninA pneaced yesterday." she plunged on recklessly. "They are very demonstrative, but I guess they knew we wouldn't mind." "Shall wo beat It?" whispered Bob. Emily nodded.

"Why, see where we've landed 1" | gasped Emily as she Bank on one of tho benches of the railroad station. "I knew we would get here If we went far enough." Bob wiped his forehead vigorously. "By Jove, Em! You don't look a bit the worse for woar after that sprint! How do you manage It?" "The girl looked straight ahead, frowning ominously. "Bob Warlck, what do you mean by bringing me here?" "I Just thought?we'd better follow ?Mrs. Teddy'B advice!" stammered Bob sheepishly. "Bob Warlck, she told them we were engaged!" "And she said we were so demonstrative and?" "She said?o-o-oh!" Emily sought in vain for her handkerchief. "Wo thought they wouldn't mind us?" An angry sob reached Bob's ears. Suddenly ho moved close to her. "Mrs. Teddy told us to elope. We'd have to get married to do that," he nrgued. "Would you mind so much, dear?" Ho drew her hands from her face and forced her to look at him. She drew a queer little breath. "No?I don't know?that Is?I think so?I mean?" "That you will!" shouted Bob, triumphantly oblivious to his surroundings. Quickly she took refugo in mock resignation. "I suppose I'll have to now," she sighed.

She could see him often standing in front of her mirrored likeness and making vows of constancy and fidelity. She knew he would rather part with anything he had than those likenesses But they had quarreled and she felt she must ask him to return her photographs, and she wrote him accordingly. When she received his reply she nearly fainted. Here is what the wretch wrote: "Dear Mabel: I would like awfully much to return your photos, hut. honestly, you girls all dress and pose so much alike for the camera that 1 can't tell any two of you apart.

When my hands first started to get sore, there were small blisters like water blisters which formed. They Itched dreadfully, It Just seemed a3 though I could tear the skin all off. I would scratch them and the skin would peel off, and the flesh would be all red and crack open and bleed. It worried me very much, as I had never had anything '.he matter with my skin. I was so afraid I would have to give up my employment. "My doctor said he didn't think It would amount to anything. Hut it kept j getting worse.

St. Croix Johnstone and "Billy" Badger, Young Aviators Who Lost Their Lives, Were Skilled and Very Popular. Chicago.?The two aviators wht lost their lives while taking part in i the fourth day's program of the inter- j national aero meet here had careers tilled with thrills and comparatively short as bird-men. A desire to attain a record for speed in travel lured both young men into the aviation game. i SL Croix Johnstone was a Chicago , boy. He came here a few yearB after his birth in Toronto, Ont., and was the only son of Dr. Stuart Johnstone of this city. Having won honors in j other parts of America and across the ! sea, the aviator, Just twenty-four years | old, had returned to his home city to distinguish himself further. It was his first appearance in Chicago as an air pilot since he had obtained his license. Johnstone obtained his education in the Chicago public schools, later tak lng a course of Instruction at Lewis [ institute. While subsequently em- ! ployed in the advertising business the young man became a motorcycle en- i thuslast and at eighteen was known as a "crack" rider. Johnstone decided to enter aviation two yearH ago. Ho went to Pay, ] France, and became a student In the Blerlot school. Upon completion of this course he purchased two monoplanes from Count do Lesseps and gave several exhibitions on the continent. Last October Johnstone went to England to study aeroplanes. He became a licensed air pilot on Decern- ' ber 30, 1910, the day before John B. | Molsant lost his life at New Orleans. I The young nvlator came to America i last spring and before his return to j Chicago had appeared at Ixmg Island, | Detroit, Havana and Toronto. He was | for eomo time a tcnmmate of Harry N. Atwood, the long distance flyer. Johnstone's flight at Havana Is con sldered the most daring feat of hi? career as an aviator. He soared over Aviators Killed at Chicago. the narrow Btreets, where there was no possible landing place had an ac cldent occurred. Johnstone was married three yean ago. 1116 wife had been present ai the meet here each day and wa* among the last ones to give up hope when word from the rescue party out In the lake was awaited. "Billy" Badger, a native of Pitts burg, was only twenty-four years old. j In his home city ho was popular among his aflsoclates. He was unmar rled and, following the death of both parents, became a resident at the Pittsburg Athletic ciud. ne wnerueu $250,000 from the Badger estate whet he became of age three years ago. The badger fortune la said to have been amassed by the young aviator's grandfather, Dr. Thomas badger, as herb doctor, badger's father conduct- j ed a cigar store In Pittsburg. Ho died Beveral years ago and the aviator's mother, subsequently married to John Goettmann, a restaurant man, died last winter. badger was a graduate of Princeton. He had prepared for Princeton al the Lawrencevllle academy, at Law renceville, N. Y. He seemed contented to get as much speed as possible out of automobiles, until last summer, when an aviation meet was held in Pittsburg. Then he determined to attempt flying. The young man decided to buy an aeroplane and try for an aviator's license. He bought a machine and practiced for months. Finally he made several successful flights at Mineola. L. I., thus obtaining his license from the Aero Club of America. He had planned, upon the close of the Chicago i air meet, to return to Pittsburg and make a flight in his homo city.
