Almost everybody who reads the news
papers is sure to know of the wonderful
cures made by Dr.
Kilmer’s Swamp-Root,
the great kidney, liver
and bladder remedy,
re It is the great medl
^ cal triumph of the nine
teenth century; dis
covered after years of
scientific research by
Dr. Kilmer, the emi
nent kidney and blad
der specialist, and is
wonderfully successful in promptly curing
lame back, kidney, bladder, uric acid trou
bles and Bright’s Disease, which is the worst
form of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is not rec
ommended for everything but if you have kid
ney, hver or bladder trouble it will be found
just the remedy you need. It has been tested
in so many ways, in hospital work, in private
practice, among the helpless too poor to pur
chase relief and has proved so successful in
every case that a special arrangement has
been made by which all readers of this paper
who have not already tried it, may have a
samp’ > bottle sent free by mail, also a book
telling more about Swamp-Root and how to
find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.

What’s In a Name?
“The parents of Judge Keneeaw
Mountain Landis had a rare taste in
names,'' said a man who had Just got
back from a summer in Connecticut,
“but while I was up lu the Nutmeg
State 1 ran across a bunch of cogno
mens that had the Chicago jurists beat
to a light froth.
“A man came into the hotel and reg
istered as Kansas N. Bill. I was in
troduced to him uud asked him joking
ly if his middle name was Nebraska.
To my surprise, he said it was. Then
he told me that his father, oue of the
real old fashioned Yankees, had named
his four children for famous measures
passed In the national congress. Be
sides Kansas Nebraska Bill there was
LeCompton Constitution Bill and the
two girls Missouri Compromise Bill
and Louislnuu 1’urrhase Bill.
“Now, I kuow this doesn’t sound
like a true story, but you Just go up
to Bill Hill, a little beyond Old Lyme,
“ and hunt up K. X. Bill and ask him If
It isn’t so.”—New York Globe.

San Francisco to Have Finest of

WILL BE A COMPLETE VILLAGE

Surrounded by Walks and Roads,
Angel Island Station Will Have Its
Own Lighting and Power Plants,
Hospitals, Stores and Hotels.
San Francisco bay is to have the
finest Immigration station In the world,
writes Louis J. Stellmann in the Son
Francisco Chronicle. 4h another year
Angel island, now almost uninhabited,
will be a very lively place. Upon It
will be erected a model village, which,
if present plans are carried out, will
be the cleanest, best arranged and
In all respects the finest and healthiest
Immigration station ever established
even by Uncle Sam, whose hospitality
to aliens is famous. Indeed, the new
comers from foreign shores will prob
ably think they have struck paradise
when they emerge from the steerage
quarters of an ocean liner and land at
the summer resort which the immigra
tion bureau has provided for them.
Here Is how it all came about;
Some years ago congress passed a reso
lution asking Secretary Victor Metcalf
to investigate the growing Immigra
tion demands of the Pacific coast and
report thereon. Metcalf did a thor
ough Job of It—so thorough that he
made congress see the needs, of San
Francisco through the eyes of her own
people. Congress was so impressed
that it Immediately appropriated $200,-
000 as a starter for the work and ac
cepted the bid and plans of Walter J.
Mathews, a California architect.
Mathews took a trip east and visited
the big Ellis Island station, secured
data and Information from headquar
ters and returned to draft a set of
plans and specifications which Com
missioner General of Immigration Sar
gent indorsed as the best and most
complete he had ever seen. According
ly work was begun without delay and
Is now well under way. The big dock,
where vessels of the greatest draft
may tie up without difficulty, has been
completed, aud the task of grading is
now t>elng pushed as rapidly as pos
sible.
The Angel Island station will be a
complete village, surrounded by walks
and roads for every purpose, having
its own lighting and power stations,
waterworks, hospitals, stores and ho
tels, so to speak, and will be con
structed with the strictest regard for
sanitation that is possible. It will
have a capacity for handling from
2,000 to 2,500 Immigrants and sleeping
and feeding accommodations for 1,000.
The principal building Mt^ll be the ad
ministration building, dose to the wa
ter front. This Is designed for the re
ceiving and discharging of immi
grants. It contains separate dining
rooms for Europeans, Chinese and
Japanese, for employees, visitors and
officers, a baggage room, offices of the
custom Inspector, hoard of inquiry,
Chinese Inspector, commissioner of
Immigration, etc., us well as Chinese
and Japanese detention departments.
Immigrants are first received and
taken to an examination room, divided
into compartments separated by Iron
railings. The Chinese and Japanese
are separated from the Europeans, and
the women of the latter class are also
received in a separate compartment.
Here, under a skylight, the first test
for trachoma, tue dreaded Asiatic eye
disease, is made, and if suspicions are
aroused which render further exam
ination necessary the applicants for
admission thus classified are passed on
to the physicians’ quarters, where,
from a waiting loom, they pass to a
private examination room equipped
with every late appliance for the ex
amination of patients.
If found to lie dlseased-unless the
disease lie contagious—the applicant Is
placed in the hospital and detained to
await developments. If at the end of
a certain time it is found that be can
not pass the physical requirements for
admission to the country, be Is deport
ed. If sutferlug from a contagious
disease, he Is of course deported at
once unless bis life would be endan
gered by such action.
If the applicant passes the first test,
he goes into another room, divided into
compartments according to his mani
fest, which gives his mental, moral
and financial qualifications. Here he
is subjected to a further examination
and if passed goes to the baggage
room, where he receives his property
and proceeds on his way rejoicing to
the realms of Uncle Ham.
If not passed, he Is transferred, if an
Asiatic, to the oriental quarters, some
distance away, until his case has bsen
decided. If a European, he goes to tbe
Caucasian quarters on the second floor
of the administration building. Here
tbe sexes are again separated and the
detained immigrants confined until per
mitted to leave by the authorities. The
same method is followed in tbe esse
of Asiatics after they have been trans
ferred to tbe quarters allotted to them.
The Europeans sleep in a dormitory
on the second floor of the main build
ings and will have excellent accommo
dations, including baths, lavatories and
showers, a roof garden for daily exer
cises aud most of the conveniences of
a first class hotel. Oa tbe same floor
of tbe administration building are also
sleeping quarters for visitors to the
station, quarters for resident physi
cians and the commissioner of immi
gration. These are In a wing entirely
separated from tbe immigrant quar
ters On this floor are also • dormi
tory for the employees with nil mod
ern conveniences, the board of inquiry
rooms for the examination of Hnropsan
immigrants, baths, lockers tor both
sexes among tbe employees, etc. A
feature of this building is that the
Asiatic and European business is seg
regated in different wings. All Impil-
grants are received and discharged
without Interfering with each other in
any possible way, and tbe handling of
two classes Is thus very greatly ex
iled! ted.
The administration building, which
has a frontage of 200 feet and a total
depth of 30<> feet. Is practically a hotel
iu all its appointments, with kitchens,
servants’ quarters, storerooms and
other departments of the great mod
ern hostelry.
The oriental quarters are situated ou
a hill not far away and connected with
the main building by a covered bridge
whleb crosses the principal roadway,
giving immigrants confined therein ac
cess to the oriental dining room in the
administration building without enter
ing the grounds. The oriental build
ing is a two story structure. One story
Is devoted to the Japanese, which are
divided as to sex, and the other floor
Is given up to Chinese immigrants in
the same way. Both floors have large
dormitories for men and women, each
with separate baths, sitting rooms, etc.
The perfect scheme of sanitation in
vogue at the administration building
also prevails in the oriental quarters,
which get lots of sunshine and a spleu
did marine view on account of its
higher position on the island. Open
air exercise Is also permitted the ori
entals upon 3 sheltered promenade,
where the refreshing breezes of the
Pacific will make walking delightful.
The hospital is a two story building,
detached, some 200 feet from the other
buildings and located on tbe high
ground. It is particularly arranged
for the admission of sunlight and will
be as complete in every way as the
most modern hospital In the world.
The first floor will contain tbe offices
of the hospital managers. private
dining room, officers’ dinlhg room,
storeroom, disinfecting rootn, conta
gious ward and sleeping room for em
ployees. On the second floor will be
a ward for Chinese men, for Japanese
men and for Chinese and Japanese
women, the latter divided by a par
tition. separating the nationalities,
who will be attended according to
their particular needs, an Interpreter
being In each ward.
There will also be a ward for Euro
peans In a wing of the building sepa
rate and distinct from that containing
the oriental wards. Here separate
wards for the two sexes are provided
also, each having its own bathrooms,
toilets and other conveniences of the
latest kind, tjn the second floor of
tbe hospital, besides the wards for
Europeans and Asiatics, are located
the operating room and physicians’ and
nurses' room. Tbe operating room will
be one of the most up to date and best
equipped in America, with especial ap
pointments and apparatus for tbe
treatment of diseases usually found
among Immigrants.
Tbe power house will contain two
powerful boilers and an engine room
fitted with two condensing engines of
the most recent type, having s total
horsepower of about 150. A high jk>w-
er dynamo will also l>e installed hen?
to light the hundreds of incandescents
that are to Illuminate the station.
There will lie many street lights, uud
each room in all the various buildings
of the model village will have Its full
complement of electroliers.
There will lie a laundry completely
fitted up with modern appliances,
where all the washing of the station
will be expeditiously handled. The
power house and laundry will be of
concrete, while the other buildings are
to be of frame construction with con
crete foundations. The big wharf will
be brilliantly lighted at night aud will
contain a lighthouse and fog bell to
warn mariners of treacherous rocks
and shoals. The administration build
ing is to lie heated by steam, while a
hot water heating system will be in
stalled In the hospital.
The water problem, which threat
ened to present a serious difficulty
when first coush’ered, has been solved
by Mathews. There will be two res
ervoirs, one containing fresh water
brought in by barges and also secured
from a spring which Is now being
developed, the other containing salt
water pumped from the buy. The
salt water will lie used for bathing
purposes in the Asiatic quarters and
the fresh water for cooking and drink
ing purposes.
The task of building tbe model immi
grant station has presented many diffi
culties. chiefly on account of the Ir
regular formation of the Island aud
the necessity of bringing everything
in by boat. However, these are being
overcome, and it is probable that an
other year will see the station com
pleted. landscape gardeners are al
ready engaged in laying out the
grounds, which will be aa artistically
i > beautiful as they can be made and
will present a very pleating sight to
passing vessels. Probably half a hun
dred or so will constitute the resident
force of employees, and a regular ferry
service will probably be established
when congress passes tbe necessary
appropriation, as It has promised to
do st tbe next session.
Big Potato Yield.
This is potato year for tbe fnrmere
of Lancaster county. Pa. In tbe num
tier of tubers raised and in tbe yield
tier acre the present season will estab
lish a new record. Yields of from 250
to 300 bushels to the acre have been
recorded In previous seasons, bat this
year tbe farmers have reached tbe 500
figure, and In one Instance a yield of
000 bushels to the acre Is reported, says
the Philadelphia Record. This crop
was raised by Ludwig T. Custer of
Adamstown. Tbe potatoes were of the
Early Rose variety. As evidence ot
the yield of potatoes this summer two
potatoes planted by Bara net Fastnacbt
of Mount Joy grew a crop of half a
bushel.
GOOD LOCK OF WMFS
How Missouri Couple Is Making
the World Happier.
SPLEEN AS A FOOD.
THEIR AIM IS TO DO GOOD.
Mr. and Mrs. Russ of Ravenwood, Mo.,
Having No Children of Their Own,
Havs Taken Into Their Heme Eleven
Tots to Raise—May Adopt More.
While tbe annual farmers’ picnic
was in progress iu Ravenwood. Mo., a
few days ago a big. comfortable farm
wagon rolled Into tbe grounds and dis
charged Its human freight of nine
happy, hearty l?oys and girls upon the
grass under the trees, writes a Ka-
venwood correspondent of the Kansas
Oity Ktar. These nine boys and girls
were soon engaged In gleaning all tbe
Joy that childhood can gather from
candy, peanuts, lemouadc and gayly
colored balloons. The oldest child was
fifteen years old, the youngest five.
“An interesting and happy group,”
said a stranger. “Is it possible that
they all tieloug to oue family?”
“They do and they don’t,” said a by
stander. “The man and the woman
you see with them are Mr. ar ’ Mrs.
Oliver P. Russ. They are the foster
parents of the entire nine.”
Mr. and Mrs. Rush do not run an
asylum for orphans or a school. They
have taken these nine little folks into
their hearts as well as Into their big,
comfortable home, a home which be
yond a doubt has bot its duplicate In
Missouri and probably not in the na-
tioh.
Mr. and Mrs. Russ have no children
of their own. They have, however, a
goodly supply of this world's goods
and a desire to do their part In mak
ing the world Iietter and happier. In
the furtherance of this Ideal they have
taken. In all. eleven children under
their roof. One of these children, a
girl, has grown up, married and has a
home of her own. A boy died in young
manhood. Of the nine children they
now have five are girls and four are
boys. Eight were taken from Institu
tions for orphans. One Is a distant
relative of Mrs. Russ. One of the old
er girls is a sister of two of the boys.
“No, we did not take these children
because we were lonesome,” said Mrs.
Rush. “I was never lonesome in my
life. We were not extravagant. We
had a home. We wanted to accom
plish some good in the world, but
where and how to do it puzzled us.
At last we fell upon this plan as be
ing the oue most apt to result In the
most good with the time and money
spent.”
The home that Mr. and Mrs. Russ
had was roomy and comfortable
enough for them, but when their fami
ly began to grow by leaps aud bounds
it soon overflowed, and Mr. Russ bad
to enlargg It. Au additlou was built
to the building, and the house now
has thirteen rooms.
Mr. and Mrs. Russ give their foster
children all the advantages they would
give children of their own—all the ad
vantages, iu fact, that a well to'do
northwestern Missouri farming com
munity affords. The Russ family home
Is one-half mile from a church and
three-quarters of a mile from a school.
All the children go to Sunday school.
Those ojd enough go to district school.
The girls take music lessons
them, Mrs. Russ says, with pride,
shows unusual ability. One of the
younger ones also gives promise of be
ing a musician.
“The children are not prodigies,” said
Mrs. Russ, “but we are pleased with
their work. We believe in heredity to
a certain extent. We get a child with
fine mentality if possible, but we do
not look for that altogether. We seek
moral qualities in tbe little ones, not
brilliancy of mind. We kuow at least
a part of the history of all the chil
dren. All are of legal parentage.”
“Do you ever become discouraged
and regret having undertaken this
task?” Mrs. Russ was asked.
“Never,” was the decisive reply.
"We considered it well beforehand, but
we were willing to endure It all for
the reward of knowing that we bad
done our duty.”
Mr. Russ, a tall, rather heavy man,
with red hair and whiskers, appeared
rather aggrieved that he bad been giv
en more credit for the work he and
his wife were doing than he believed
be was entitled to. Mrs. Russ gently
objected, but Mr. Russ Insisted.
“What could I do without her inter
est and co-operation in my plans?” he
asked. "I can attend to my stock, 1
can care for my crops, but this—why.
she has tbe heavier part.”
Mr. and Mrs. Russ said that they
have found it necessary to whip only
two of the children they have taken.
They prefer to use moral suasion, bat
believe in using the rod when the ne
cessity arises.
“I want to say,” Interjected Mrs.
Russ, "for it is due them, that no one
ever saw children show more respect
for parents than these children do for
us. That little fellow, for Instance,”
indicating an attractive, sturdy, black
eyed boy of seven or eight years
“never takes a drink without bringing
me one. When they go to died it; la
always •Good night, father,’ V'
night, mother.’ We don’t aak it’of
them. They give it to us.”
It is ,poseible that the limit of tbe
Russ family has not been reached
even yet Mr. and Mrs. Russ may
take still more children.
“We are considering the matter, and
If we see oar way dear we will do it’’
•aid Mr. Russ.
Net Only Edible, but Highly Nutri*
tious, Declares Boston Physician.
Declaring that red tolood corpuscles
come from tbe spleen and also an
nouncing that spleens are edible, Dr.
Edward T. Williams, a graduate of
Harvard Medical school, believes he
lias found the means of adding 50.000,-
000 pounds to the nation’s annual meat
supply, which should mean a saving
of $5,000,000 a year, says a Boston
special dispatch to the New York Her
ald. Ills discovery, he l»elieves. makes
it possible for the poor to obtain meat
at a cost not exceeding 10 cents a
pound.
Dr. Williams was graduated from
the Harvard Medical school lu 1805
and several years ago gave up a prof
itable practice to engage In original
research. In humble rooms in I hid ley
street, Boston, he has lived as^i re
cluse, devoting his lime to study and
• ‘xpcrlnienting.
Speaking of his work to one of the
few persons who ever gained ndiult-
rance to his quarters, he said:
"In the work I have l»een carrying
on I think the most Important discov
ery I have made is in regard to the
ipleen, for I have found that It i:> this
organ which makes the red blood cor
puscles.
“While this may i»e a matter of eon-
'Idorable Interest to physicians and
specialists, still what Is of far greater
Importance to the average man or wo
man is that I hflvc discovered spleens
rv good to cat and extremely palata
ble when fresh. The average spleen
contains three-quarters of a grain of
iron and one and one-half grains of
phosphorus per ounce, which makes It
the richest possible fond and particu
larly valuable in all cases of ifiipover-
is.hed blonds or nervous debility.
"The spleen is really the iron gland
of the body and con'ai is more phos
phorus than any other organ, with
the exception of the brain. 1 ate my
firsi spleen about five years ago and
found It quite palatable. The reason
spleens have never become an article
of commercial value in the beef indus
try Is because they spoil so quickly.
There is little use in placing them on
ice, for after a few hourn they seem
to disintegrate and fall apart and con
sequently are not martrctnble.”
Dr. Williams has found, however,
that spleens can be kept like other
meat if the albumen In them Is first
coagulated by cooking. He says he Is
negotiating with a sausage manufac
turer to put spleen on the market put
up like sausages.

Mississippi River Craft Will Welcome

Fan Bathe For Typhoid.
Fan baths are tbe latest remedy
used by the Boston City hospital phy
sicians in the treatment of typhoid fe
ver, says the New - Haven Journal.
Heretofore the Ice plunge was used,
and a patient whose temperature had
reached the danger point was soused
in a bathtub filled with broken Ice
until his teeth rattled. This treatment
after a time was found to be too he
roic, as the shock was too severe and
pneumonia sometimes developed. Then
Ice water sponge baths were substi
tuted, but tbe fan baths, the doctors
dsdare, are just the thing. The pa
tient Is sponged off with les water
first, then a sheet that has been soak
ed in ice water is wrapped about tbe
body, and more Ice water is sprinkled
on the sheet. The current of an elec
tric fan is then turned on him so that
he la chilled by the rapid evaporation
caused by the breese. Recent experi
ments have proved this measure higfa-
iTMccessful.
