PECUUAR AFTER EFFECTS '
OF GRIP THIS YEAR,
Leaves Kidneys in Weakened Condition
Doctors in all parts of the country
have been kept buBy with the epidemic
of grip which bus visited so many
homes. The Bymptoms of grip this
year are very distressing and leave
the system In a run down condition,
particularly the kidneys which seem
to suffer most, as every victim com:
plains of lame back and urinary trou-
bles which should not be neglected, as
these danger signals often lead to
more serious sickness, such as dread-
ed Brlght's Disease. Local druggists
report a large sale on Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root which so many people
say soon heals and strengthens the
kidneys after an attack of grip.
Swamp-Root is a great kidney, liver
and bladder remedy, and, being an
herbal compound, has a gentle healing
effect on the kidneys, which is almost
Immediately noticed by those who try
It. Dr. Kilmer & Co., Dlnghamton, N.
Y., offer to send a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root, free by mall, to every
sufferer who requests It. A trial will
convince any one who may be in need
of it. Regular size bottles 50 cts. and
$1.00. For sale at all druggists, lie
eure to mention this paper.
STUDY, ANYHOW.
"Yes, she had to give up her part"
"Was it a case of overstudy?"
"No; understudy."
PIMPLES COVERED HIS BACK
"My troubles began along in the
summer In the hottest weather and
took the form of small eruptions and
Itching and a kind of smarting pain.
It took mo mostly all over my back
and kept getting worse until finally
my back was covered with a mass of
pimples which would bum and Itch at
night so that I could hardly stand it.
This condition kept getting worse and
worse until my back was a solid mass
of big sores which would break open
and run. My underclothing would be
a clot of blood.
"I tried various remedies and salves
for nearly three years and I was not
getting any benefit. It seemed I was
In eternal misery and could pot sleep
on my back or lean on a chair. I was
finally given a set of tho Cuticura
Remedies and inside of two weeks I
could see and feel a great relief. I
kept on using Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and also the Resolvent, and in about
threo or four months' time my back
was nearly cured and I felt like a new
being. Now I am In good health and
no sign of any skin diseases and I
am fully satisfied that Cuticura Reme-
dies are the best ever made for skin
diseases. I would not be without
them." (Signed) W. A. Armstrong,
Corbln, Kan., May 26, 1911. Although
Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold
by druggists and dealers everywhere,
a sample of each, with 32-page book,
will be mailed free on application to

"Darling," the cuddly little wife
wanted to know, "darling, what would

"Love!" he cried passionately, "do

bear It!"
"But what would you do?" She In-
ilsted.
"Whatever you wished."
"Silly! How could 1 wish when I
was dead?"
"I mean I'd do whatever you wished
before you died. Tell me now—bur-
ial or cremation?"
Men don't seem to have any finer

Mere Mediocrity.
"I used to think I possessed the ar-
tistic temperament—the sacred fire;
but I was mistaken. I'm Just one

ple."
"You have no right to say that!
You have done some splendid things
—things that you could not possibly
have done If you had merely been
one among the millions of common
people."
"No. you're mistaken. I'm Just an
ordinary, everyday man. Why, my

years without ever once thinking of
getting a divorce!"—Judge.

A timid knock, a grufT "Come In!"

stood before the manager.
"P-please, air!" he blubbered.
The manager looked up sharply.
"P—please, sir!" he blubbered again.

CRACKED HANDS
ARE HEALED
Woman Suffered for Year*. Realnol
Worked Immediately.
During the winter many people
suffer untold agony from .chapped and
cracked hands. The manner of wash-
ing and drying the hand*, the water,
exposure, blood and Innumerable
other things may cause this. To per-
sons suffering In this way, or from
any skin eruption, thla woman's ex-
perience should prove Invaluable.
"I highly prize Reslnol Soap and
Ointment. For years I had suffered
with my hands cracking. Had used
all kinds of salve, but to no avail,
until one day a sample box of Reslnol
Ointment was sent to our home. Al-
most discouraged, I had suffered so
long with my handB, I opened the
package and began reading some ot
the testimonials. Finally I tried It,
and the effect was wonderful. It
Beemed to take the soreness away,
and immediately began to heal, and
in a few days (using It every night)
my hands were entirely healed. I
feel that I cannot get along without
Reslnol Ointment, and recommend It
with pleasure, whenever an opportu-
nity presents Itself.
"MRS. MATTIE R. SHORT,
"Somerville, Mass."
Reslnol Ointment Is the most won-
derful skin remedy today. For sores,

Esther Was Alarmed.
Esther, a five-year-old daughter of
north side parents, heard much about
the dangers of diphtheria, and was
eager to observe every precaution to
keep from coming into contact with it,
that she and her two brothers might
not "catch it."
One day she insisted on going to
the grocery on the corner to sp«nd
her penny, and was warned by her
mother not to stop and play with any
children she might meet on the way.
After having been gone only a few
minutes, she rushed into the house
much excited, exclaiming as she en-
tered:
"Mamma, you must keep 'ose boys
away from Mr. A.'s house, 'cause they
have diphtheria and have a sign
up."
Her mother said: "Is that so? What
does the sign say?"
"It Bays f-o-r s-a-l-e," said Esther.—
Indianapolis News.
Quite So.
The teacher in the primary depart-
ment of a Philadelphia school had been
holding forth at some length with ref-
erence to the three grand divisions of
nature—the animal, the vegetable and
the mineral. When she had finished
she put this question:
"Who can- tell me what the highest
form of animal life ic?" *
Whereupon the pupil nearest her
hastened to supply the answer as fol-
lows:
'The giraffe."—Lipplncott's.
Nor a Brass Band.
Booth—What is the difference be-
tween charity and philanthropy?
Rube—Charity doesn't hire a pcess

THE CARELESS GROCER
Blundered, ar.d Great Good Came of It,
A careless grocer left tho wrong
package at a Michigan home one day
and thereby brought a great blessing
to the household.
"Two years ago I was a sufferer from
stomach troubles, so acute that the
effort to digest ordinary food gf^e me
great pain, and brought on a condition
of such extreme nervousness that I
could not be left alone. I thought I
should certainly bocome lnsano. 1 was
so reduced in flesh that I was little bet-
ter than a living skeleton. The doc-
tors failed to give me relief and I de-
spaired or recovery.
"One day our groceryman left a
package of Grape-Nuts food by mis-
take, so I tried some for dinner. I waa
surprised to find that it satisfied my
appetite and gave me no distress what-
ever. The next meal I ate of It again,
and to be brief, I have lived for the
past year almost exclusively on Grape-
Nuts. It has proved to be a moat
healthful and appetizing food, per-
fectly adapted to the requirements of
my system.
"Grape-Nuts Is not only easily di-
gested and assimilated, but I find that

to eat anything elsa my appetite fan-

ROBBERS LEAVE MEN
IN ADAM'S GARB
Strip Bowling Alley Patrons of
Clothes in Washroom After
Taking Valuables.
Chicago.—The last word in Ingen-
ious robbery 1* to rob and disrobe the
victim in a washroom and then leave
him shivering in hia Adam-like garb,
trusting to his ifatural modesty to pre-
vent him from breaking forth in hot
pursuit.
This was tried so successfully a few
nights ago that two men—one a de-
tective and the possessor of two re-
volvers—shivered and shrunk up
against a wall of a little washroom in
Bensinger's bowling alley.
There was one feature of the affair
that made It possible for the robbers

tp escape. It waa ladies' night at the
bowling alley. *Bhe two victims of the
robbers peeped from their uncomfort-
able quarters at the crowd of women
at the other end of the alleys, then at
their own forms In the mirror.
That was enough.
Thomas Fay of 4530 Clifton avenue
and James Devury, a Pinkerton detec-
tive, were the victims.
Two negroes entered the washroom
just as Fay was removing from his
face the perspiration acquired in an
exciting game. A revolver was thrust
to his head and he was compelled to
give up a watch and the contents of
his pockets—$2.
Then, to guarantee a safe departure,
the robbers removed Fay's clothes,
also at the point of a revolver. Just
then Devury entered and saw Fay,
apparently preparing for a cold dry
bath. The smile froze on hie lips,
however, as a revolver was pusheff
against his own breast. His pockets
were emptied.
The two victims shivered and shout-
ed until a pin boy finally came to
their relief, but the hold-up men had
had time to get miles away.
