It is now conceded by physicians that the kidneys should have more attention as they control the other organs to a remarkable degree and do a tremendous amount of work in removing the poisons and waste mat ter from the system by filtering the blood. The kidneys should receive some assistance when needed. We take lets exercise, drink less water and 1 often eat more rich, heavy food. ! thereby forcing the kidneys to do more work than nature intended. Evidence of kidney trouble, such as lame ! back, annoying bladder troubles, smarting or burning, brick-dust or sediment, sallow complexion, rheumatism. maybe weak,or irregular heart action, warns you that your kidneys require help immediately to avoid more serious trouble. An ideal herbal compound that has had most remarkable success as a kidney and bladder remedy is Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root. There is nothing else like it. It is Dr. Kilmer’s prescription used in private practice and it is sure to benefit you. Get a bottle from your druggist. However, if you wish first to get this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y„ for a sample bottle.

OBITUARY. Mrs. Verda Jane (Shlmer) Barger was born November 9, 1875, in ''Richland county, Ohio, the daughter of Obodiab and Susannah Shinier, and died April 9, 1916, aged 40 years and 5 months. In early childhood, she, with her Barents moved to near Tocsin. Her marriage to Jacob Barger took place December 15, 1894. He. with the following children survive: Elva A. Roth of Decatur, Nellie A., Herman J„ Leia M. and Harold V„ at home and one grandchild, Gerold Roth; also surviving are her father a brother, Charles M. Shinier, of near Tocsin, and five sisters: Mrs. Effie A. Richey of Three Rivers, Mich.; Mrs. Clara M. Breiner of Decatur; Mrs. Almeda Gilbert of Bluffton, and Mrs. Sadie McCague and Mrs. Emma Vanander of Ossian. Her mother, four sisters ai.d two brothers have preceded her in death. While a girl she became a member of the Tocsin U. B. church and about ten years ago moved her membership to the Pleasant Valley M. E. church, of which she was a faithful member, always ready to do anything for the cause of Christ. She leaves n host of- relatives and friends to mourn their loss, but their loss is her gain. “Call not back the departed Anchored safe where storms are o’er, On the border-land we left them, Soon to meet and part no more. When we leave this world of changes, When we leave this world of care, We shall find our missing loved one, In our Father’s mansion fair.” FAMOUS YANKEE COMPOSER H. CLAY WORK AND SONGS I Only those vflio lived during the civil war can realize the power and j influence exercised by the song writers of the time. Henry Clay Work, who was born at Middletown, ConnecticifU, in 1832, was imprisoned in Missiuri for nelping a tugitive slave to escape. He was a printer by trade and wrote "Kingdom Coming,” “Babylon ts Fallen,” and in his “Come Home, Dear Father, Come Home,” w’as a temperance sermon that never has seemed to lose its plaintive appeal. He was the author of “Grandfather’s Clock,” and at one time member of the music firm of Root & Cady. Chicago. His songs had a great vogue in their time and still continue in the melodies of the old days. Several of Work’s famous old songs appear in “Heart Songs” now by this paper to its readers.
