Thousands Have Kidney Trouble
and Don’t Know it.
How To Find Out.
Fill a bottle or common glass with your
water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a
sediment or set
tling indicates an
unhealthy condi
tion of the kid
neys; if it stains
your linen it is
evidence of kid
ney trouble; too
frequent desire to
pass it or pain in
the back is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and blad
der are out of order.
What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every,
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
It, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild ?nd the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-tfoot is soon
realized. It stands the highe'st for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should have the
best. Sold by druggists in 50c. and$l. sizes.

cle was a rathor different proposition
from what it is today—they took it
as a matter of course and proceeded
to strain themselves instead of de
veloping their muscles. They evolved
for themselves what they thought the
best way to ride, and there appeared
■i horde of “monkey backs.” Or
they became enthusiasts in riding
and vent on long runs, setting them
selves to make or to break a record
among their companions. The while
the parents told complacently of the
exploits of their children and never
seemed to think that there might be j
harm doing. In point of fact men
?md women were not unfrequently ;
led into excesses in'this exhilarating time,
exercise and as a natural sequence
there came a reaction and the bicy
cle for a time was neglected.
Despite the passing of the fad, how
ever. there has been from the outset
a goodly number of people who be
lieved in the bicycle and thought it
hail other uses than a mere means
of getting about the country and rid
ing to and from work. Their faith
has been justified by the healthy re
vival of which I have spoken, a re
vival that has been helped on by the
sensible utterances of physicians on
the subject. When one well known
doctor says,“I have often given bi-

look into this matter of bicycling in
some other light than that of an
amusement.
To get the full benefit from a bicy
cle for a growing hoy or girl, the
wheel should not he bought at ran
dom. At one time the acquisition of a
bicycle sank to pretty much the same
standing as one of the ‘‘given-
away-with-a-pound-of-tea” prizes. The
market was flooded with cheap
wheels and the getting one was a

when a boy or a girl is to have a
sort of catch-as-catch-can business,

will do for one will not answer for
another and the makers of wheels
have learned that the worst service
they can do their products is to
send out one that is not entirely sat
isfactory. No longer can one buy
a bicycle from a responsible firm on
the hit-or-miss plan.
Here some one will rise with a
tale of how he bought a wheel for his
hoy and it did not last him any length
of time at all. “He gave it no more
wear than I gave mine, but it was so
poorly built that it went to pieces
before he had it a month. That
cured me of high priced wheels! Get
a hoy a cheap one and let him use
that up then get him another.”
That principle may have applied
once, hut its day is over. The mod
ern juvenile bicycles produced by a
first class house are strongly built,
to meet the knock-about usage of the
younger generation. They are made
of the same high-grade material and
receive the same care in the making
as the adult models. As a matter

they should be formed so soon after

child.
Perhaps it may seem absurd to de
mand as much for the child’s body—
but we do not know what we might
have made of it if we had given it
more intelligent attention. Even as
it is the mother soon learns that the
child must not lie in unnatural pos
tures, that the eyes must be cared
for, that the hack must be kept
st -aight and not exerted too soon,
that the limbs must be rubbed and
fixed if they do not develop as they
should. The child must not be al
lowed to sit up alone, to stand or to
walk too early, lest there be curva
tures or malformations.
All this Is done while the baby is
a wee thing, but what is done in the
line of intelligent physical guidance
when he—or she—is able to go about
and make a way through the world?
When this point is reached the chil
dren are allowed to look out for
themselves. They may be encour

indeed, Nature generally leads them
to do this—but the parents are too
few who direct the exercise their
children take and see for themselves
that the youngsters set about it in
the right way. The hoys go with other
hoys and so learn to play baseball
and football, to swim, to row, to
ride a wheel. The girls meet other
girls and roll hoops, skip rope.s and
bicycle. And the father and mother
feel that they have done the whole
duty of parents when they provide
the means for these out door enjoy
ments. It seldom occurs to them to
make sure that they have secured

We Have Clipped Off the Profits.
As the winter season advances, and it will soon he time for Spring

to close out the goods. You all know what “Cut Prices” means at
CLARY’S. Here are a few of the many bargains we offer:

meal and scorches across the coun

has himself to blame and not the
wheel if he upsets his digestion. It
would he fortunate if it were only the
hoys who did this. There are men
and women, too, who have no bet
ter p mse than to follow this course.
All that has been said of the value
of the physical training gained by the
hoys who use the wheel applies with
equal force to girls of the same age.
It is a mistake to think that what
helps the hoy to develop his body
will be of no use to the girl in the
improvement of hers. I often ques
tion if the girl does not perhaps need
it more even than the hoy. While she
is still a child the best thing that can
be done for her to encourage her in
the tomboy life, so far as it leads her
into the fresh air and vigorous exer
cise. If she has the right kind of a
mother she will have all the refining
and feminizing influence she needs
to make her the sort of gentlewoman
one wishes a young girl to become.
Of course, there is such a thing as
overdoing the out door life and the
physical side, just as there is a possi
bility of excess on the other side.
But the evenly balanced man or wo
man must have plenty of both sorts
of training. There has never yet been
found a better combination than a
healthy mind in a healthy body.
