DO YOU GET UP

Kidney Trouble* Makes You Miserable.

Almost everybody who reads the news
papers is sure to know of the wonderful
cures made by Dr.
. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
I the great kidney, liver
[l and bladder remedy.
It is the great medl
cal triumph of the nine
teenth century: dis-
||:]i'L covered after years of
,^ r ^tjyli 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, nver or bladder trouble it will be found
us* the remedy you need. It has been tested
in so many ways, in hospital work, in private
pracbce, among the helpless too poor to pur
chase relief and has proved so successful in
every case that a special arrangement has
oeen 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.

At Ji point 500 ii'iVs directly to the

In other parts of the country two
states or territories make an angle, but
nowhere else In the United States does
it occur that the Isniudaries of four
or even three states converge, forming
a “corner,” as in this Instance.

may he found In this magic circle.
Within its circumference are located
the Inspiring Canyon of the Colorado,
the varicolored Grand Gulch of the San
Juan and the equally stupendous and
more wonderful natural bridges (three
In number) of southern Utah.
These natural wonders are located
about forty miles from Bluff, Utah, on
the San Juan river, and may be reach
ed either from Mancos or from Do
lores, Colo., on the Rio Grande South
ern railroad, or from Thompson
Springs, Utah, on the Salt Lake line
of the Denver and Rio Grande rail
road.
One of the bridges Is locally In Arm
strong canyon, and the two others are
in White canyon, but not more than
ten miles apart. Being comparatively
unknown and infrequently visited,
their huge dimensions were never ac
tually known until taken last summer

The great Augusta natural bridge
has a span 208 feet wide at the bot-

bed to top of bridge Is 222 feet and
width of roadway on top 28 feet.
In the canyons and at the sides of
all of the bridges are found many
cliff dweller ruins, and these locations

Some Amusing Mistakes.
According to the Bluejacket, Rear
Admiral Evans while traveling on a
steamer between Fort Monroe and the
exposition grounds was accosted by a
lady passenger with the query, “Are
you golug ashore here?" When the
admiral said yes. she asked him to car
ry her bundles. “Certainly, madam,
only too pleased to,” was the quick re
ply. The admiral was in uniform, and
the lady took him for one of the
steamer's officers or porters.

In Washington who was asked by an
old lady to carry her baggage and of
fered him 19 cents as a tip. These mis

The native life seen In Cairo is of
