The "Cat Squadron."
Ureait Britain was the first naval
power to build the battle cruiser. Close
on her heels came Germany, Russia
and Japan ; but all others, including
the United States, have no battle
cruisers in their line of battle. It was
in 1907 when the Indomitable, the first
one, was begun. One year later she
crossed the Atlantic at a speed of a
little more than 25 miles an hour. The
Inflexible and Invincible followed, and,
when the European war came, Great
Britan had a squadron ' that proved
of immense worth to her. In the .Tut
land battle, however, three of the Brit
ish battle cruisers were :sunk, shells
penetrating their armor and explod
ing their magazines or boilers. The
armor of a superdreadnaught would
most probably have proved too strong
for the shells that destroyed these bat
the cruisers. The famous "Cat Squad
ron,"' so cailed because it includedl the
Lion andl Tiger, is today the last word
in tihe battle cruiser ; but in a few
yemjrs the American baut tle cruisers
that are now being built wvill far out
strip the "cats" In every fealflre.

Don't Noglect Kidneys
Swamp Root, Dr. Kilmer's Prescrip
tion, Overcomes Kidney Trouble
It is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to a re
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the 'poisons
andl waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood.
Tfhe kidneys shorald receive some ain
sistance when needed. We takce less ex
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneyw- to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallowv complexion,
rheumatism, maybe wveak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
moat remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy Is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else likce It. It
is Dr. Kilmer's prescription used in pri
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get a bottle from your druggist.
Ihowever, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send tea cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., IBinghamton, N. Y., for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper. Adv.
