The kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil ter out the waste or impurities in tn blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, aches and rheu matism come from ex cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney- poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy Is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits fCTn by all druggists in fifty- cent and one-dollar siz es. You may have a sample bottle by mail it»me of swamp-Kont. free, also pamphlet telling you how to find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble. Mention this paper when writing Dr Kilmer It Co..

Cured Hay Fever and Summer Cold. A. J. Nusbaum, Batesville, Indiana, writes: “Last year I suffered for three months with a summer cold so distressing that it interfered with my business. I had many of the symp toms of hay fever, and a doctor’s pre scription did not reach my case, and I took several medicines which seem ed to only aggravate my case. For tunately I insisted upon having Fo ley’s Honey and Tar in the yellow package, and it quickly cured me. My wife has since used Foley’s Hon ey and Tar with the same success.” Cherokee Drug Co. Frank P. Sargent, United States Commissioner of Immigration, is dead. When you have a cold you may be sure that it has been caused indirect ly by constipation and consequently you must first of all take something to move the bowels. This is what has made Kennedy’s Laxative Cough Syrup so successful and so generally demanded. It does not constipate like most of the old fashioned cough cures, but on the other hand it gent ly moves the bowels and at the same time heals irritation and allays In flammation of the throat.

Let us be as gentle “and kind as kings upon their coronation day.” — Drayden. “Twice-Told Tales,” by Nathaniel Hawthorne, is one of the most inter esting books 1 have ever read. It is not only interesting just as a com mon story book; it is instructive and thought-provoking too. Every line of this book is fine literature, and all of it is well worth reading. Never theless, there are, of course, good and better in it. “The Gray Champ ion,” the first story in the book, is a romantic legend of one of the found ers of New England. “Sunday at Home” is a wandering train of thought, very beautiful in its sim plicity of thought and construction. "The Wedding Knell,” a story with a moral. These are a few of the several finely composed articles which constitute this little volume. I am hardly capable of writing a book review worthy of the name, so I shall not attempt a complete outline of all that “Twice-Told Tales” con tains. I can, however, commend It to all as real literature. It is of the sort, that tends to broaden one’s in tellect. I have long since learned to discriminate between good and bad literature, therefore, I seldom read any of the five and ten-cent sort now r .

NEW ZEALAND HARDWOODS. Substitutes for American Timber May Prove Satisfactory. Far-off New Zealand is the latest country to which forest experts have turned in seeking substitutes for the valuable American woods used by the furniture, cooperage, implement and similar wood-using industries. Manufacturers in this country have been facing a constantly decreasing supply of available hardwood timber for a number of years and the time is already at hand when efforts must be made to look to the preservation of the American species most in de mand and to scour foreign lands for trees which may prove valuable as substitutes. Seven different New Zealand hard wood trees have just been put through a series of tests by the United States Forest Service in co operation with the University of California in the timber testing laboratory at Berkley. The trees showed up remarkably well in com- in Grover | parlson with white oak, which is one of the strongest woods in the I’nited States, developing under test when in an air dry condition of crushing BAMBOO FOR CRIMINALS.

I am now reading “The Story of the Romans,” and II Is intensely In teresting and Instructive. The story, as it is called, Is full of romance, fact and fiction from the very begin ning to the end of the heroic Roman people. It Is a wonderful fascinat ing historical subject, and teaches the reader a most powerful lesson. It proves what a world power may spring from a very obscure race of mankind throughout long ages of self-improvement. For the Romans arose from the very depths of ob scurity and poverty, and became masters of the world. Yet, the mighty Roman Empire crumbled to dust. Her greatest weakness was in the strength of her own power, just as it is in this country today. And this stpry also proves what a curse ♦o the government of a people special privilege has always been. For the reign of the few over the many is what made Rome great and what finally wrought its ruin. This is an indisputable fact, because a nation may become a world power, if the majority of its people are taxed al most to the limit of endurance, pro vided that the government of said nation feeds and clothes its people, as England does. I believe I am on safe ground when I make this asser tion . Why should not cotton bring fif teen cents? Farmers, one and all, stick together and hold your cotton Just as long as you can.
