Over-Work Weakens
Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
All the blood in your body passes through
y.our kidneys once every three minutes.
fThe kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they fil
ter out the waste o"
impurities in the 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
ail 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
by all druggists in fifty- gfjmSßgjSTjj Silliljsljjß
cent and one-doliar siz
es. You may have a
Sample bottle by mail Home of Swamp-Root,
free, also pamphlet telling you how to find
out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.
Mention this paper when writing Dr. Kilmer
& Cos., Binghamton, N. Y.
Don’t make any mistake, but retrem-
T)er tht name, Swamp Root, Dr, Kilmer’s
Swamp-Knot, and the address, Bing
bam ton, N, Y., on every bottle.

The Spirit of Winter.
The Spirit of Winter is with us,
making its presenae known in many
different ways—sometimes by cherry
sunshine and glistening snows, and
sometimes by driving winds and
blinding storms. To many people#
seems to take a delight in making
bad things worse, for rheumatism
twists harder, twinges sharper,
catarrh becomes more annoying, and
the many symptoms of scrofula are
developed and aggravated. There is
not much poetry in this, but there is
tr th, and it is a wonder that more
people don’t get rid of these ailments.
The medicine that cures them —
Hood’s Sarsaparilla—is easily obtain
ed and there is abundant proof that
its cures are radical and permanent.
Itching Skin
Distress by day and night—
That’s the complaint of those who
a.'c cj unfortunate as to be afflicted
with Eczema or Salt Rheum—and out
ward applications do not cure.
They can’t.
The source of the trouble is in the
blood —make that pure and this scal
ing, burning, itching skin disease will
disappear.
“I was taken with an Itching cn my
arms which proved very disagreeable. I
concluded it was salt rheum and bought a
bottle of Hood’s Sarsaparilla. In two days
after I began taking it I felt better and it
was not iong before I was cured. Have
never had any skin disease since.” Mbs.
Ida E. Ward, Cove Point, Md.
Hood's Sarsaparilla
and. Pills
rid the blood of all impurities smd cure
all eruptions.
KLEPTOMANIAC BIRDS.
The Ravens of India and the Batln
Birds of Australia.
The magpie has long been notori
ous for stealing things, but he is a
saint compared to some Asiatic
birds. The ravens which abound
in Indian cities steal by wholesale
and take anything they can lay their
beaks on, whether they can make
use of it or not. Jerdon, an Eng
lish writer, says that in some places
every house is surrounded by a flock
of these winged robbers on the look
out for booty. They fly in at the
windows, rummage workbaskets and
carry off gloves and handkerchiefs.
They even open tied packages and
examine their contents. According
to another observer, they have been
known to extract nails. A pleasure
party assembled in a garden were
startled by seeing a bloody knife
fall in their midst. A raven had
stole* it from the kitchen and
dropped it among the merrymakers.
The Australian satin birds are
more discriminating and take only
objects suitable for the establish
ment of their nests. Among their
specialties are gaudy parrot feath
ers, shells, bright pebbles and whit
ened bones. The feathers arc for
the interior of the nest., while the
other objects are arranged about its
entrance. The natives are so well
acquainted with this habit that
vvhen an amulet or a pipe is missed
it is sought and generally found in
the nest of the satin bird.
Another notable collector is the
arbor bird, which inhabits parts of
the interior of Australia which the
foot of man seldom treads. This
bird builds long arbors of twigs
thatched with grass and secures
them against being blown away by
weighting them with stones built in
at regular intervals both in the
walls and in the roof. These dwell
ings are decorated with shells and
white bones, a heap of which is also
deposited at each end. These ar
bors are shelters and for resting
only, not breeding nests, and the
shells and bones (must be for orna
ment) can serve an esthetic purpose
only. The birds are grain feeders,
and their shelters are often remote
from ponds or streams, so that the
collection of shells entails a good
deal of labor.
A Kiss Tax.
The ancient town of llungerford,
in England, is the scene of a curious
fete each year on the first Tuesday
after Easter. Under a primeval and
time honored arrangement the au
thorities exact a toll from every
male and female inhabitant within
certain boundaries, the masculine
tax being one penny and the female
levy a sound kiss. Two burly bea
dles, carrying massive wands of of
fice, proceed from house to house
levying these quaint taxes, and it is
recognized on the day in question
any youth may with impunity em
brace any maiden whom he encoun
ters.
The result is that a veritable car
nival of osculation takes place year
ly in llungerford, and it attracts
various visitors to the quaint little
town, many of whom participate,
though not entitled to do so, in the
delights of the day.
Climbing a Cathedral Tower.
A most peculiar custom which
has been preserved since the middle
age's at Friburgen-Brisgau is that
of climbing the cathedral tower
upon the anniversary of the birth
of the reigning Duke of Baden. The
tower is 400 feet high, and to scale
it from the ground to the apex is a
very difficult performance, attended
with great danger. It is done by
climbing from one projection to an
other, these being cn the average
one foot apart. A single false step
means death. To descend is also no
easy task. Each person who makes
the climb and descent safely receives
5 marks from the state and a ticket
of admission to the annual dinner
given in honor of that day.
Native Generosity.
“Are you catching any fish, little
boy, may I awsk ?”
“Not a blame fish.”
“Are you —aw getting any
bites ?”
“Nary bite.”
“Have you been fishing here
long?”
“All day.”
“Do you expect to catch any
thing?”
“Nope.”
“Then why, little boy, do you
continue to fish?”
“So’s you kin hev somethin’ to
put in your book on Ameriky, mis
ter.” —Chicago Tribune.
Phrenology.
Bright Boy—Uncle George took
me to hear a lecture on phrenology.
Father —Let me see if you can
tell me what you learned.
Bright Boy—Some -"’smart men
have high foreheads, and some
smart men have low foreheads, and
some big fools have high foreheads,
and some big fools have low fore
heads. That’s all I can remember.
Bad Taste
in the Mouth
When you get up in the morn
ing with a coated tongue and a
bad taste in the mouth, you may
or may not be seriously ill, but if
there is any disease going, you
will catch it.
Even though you “catch” no
definite disease, you are likely to
be worse before you are better
unless you attend to yourself.
We know what you think—first
you are half persuaded to try
Vinol, and then you say to your
self : “ That’s the same story all
the medicines tell; we’ve heard it
before.”
But Vinol is not like other
medicines. If it were, we shouldn’t
be talking about it.
Vinol is not a secret medicine.
Any doctor will tell you that
cod liver oil (the principal ingredi
ent in Vinol), has been the recog
nized standard tonic and body
builder for three hundred years,
and would be to-day except that
the old kind tastes so bad folks
won’t and can’t take it.
Vinol is made by a remarkable
chemical process which cuts out
the grease and bad taste and
leaves all the medicinal qualities
of cod liver oil intensified.
We will pay back your money
if it doesn’t help you.
