jf: from 900 to 1.000 feet. Here, then,

to this projection, and as high as it
i- may be made, let us ask Lorado Taft,
ie the republic's greatest sculptor, to
j chisel a heroic statue, seventy feet
I high, of the Confederate soldier, in
the nearest possible resemblance to
Robert E. Lee. Let him chisel also
a
. the insignia of the Confederate uni^

the natural base. There will be no

t to say that the brave and loyal spirit
of this gallant Georgian will not refuse
the consent, which will make of

)- Grey had gone off to Cologne, but
is owing to thick fog over that part of
a the country he was unable to locate
a the aviation ground outside the <jity.
is However, in circling over the city ity
self, he managed to perceive the big
;s general station, and deposited a few
bombs on it, staying long enough to
e notice that a considerable amount of
g damage was done to various appur-l
d tenances thereof. F'inding it was still
it impossible to see the aviation ground,
d he started back for Antwerp and arrived
safely at the flying ground.
There the naval people waited the
o return of the missing pilot, who
finally arrived late at night. Thanks
it to the house in which they were
d sheltered being German property, it
11 was not damaged, but they could
it not go outside it before dark owing
if to the danger of being sniped by Gere
man riflemen. Consequently at the
it first sign of dawn they left the house

far side of the ground, where they
lay and watched the German artillery

A WARNINGTO MANY
Some Interesting Facts About
Kidney Troubles
Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condition
of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases
of serious illness, makes a chemical
analysis of the patient's urine. He
knows that unless the kidneys are
doing their work properly, the other
organs cannot readily be brought
back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected
or abused in any way, serious results
are sure to follow. According to
health statistics, Bright's disease
which is really an advanced form of
kidney trouble, caused nearly ten
thousand deaths in f913, in the State
of New York alone. Therefore, it
j behooves us to pay more attention
to the health of these most important
organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as a kidney
remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Remedy.
The mild and healing influence of
this preparation, in most cases, is
soon realized, according to sworn
statements and verified testimony of
those who have used the remedy.
If you feel that your kidneys require
attention, and wish a sample
bottle, write to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y. Mention this paper,
enclose ten cents and they- will
gladly forward it to you by' Parcel
Post.
