PROVEN SWAMP-ROOT AIDS WEAK KIDNEYS • The symptoms of kidney and bladder troubles are often very distressing and leave the system in a run-down condition. The kidneys seem to suffer most, as almost every victim complains of lame back and urinary troubles which should not be neglected, as these danger signals often lead to more dangerous kidney troubles. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root which, so many people say, soon heals and strengthens the kidneys, is a splendid kidney, liver and bladder medicine, and, being an herbal compound, has a gentle healing effect on the kidneys, which is almost immediately noticed in most cases by those who use it. A trial will convince anyone who may be in need of it. Better get a bottle from your nearest drug store, and start treatment at once. However, if you wish first to test thu great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a •ample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.—Adv.

DEAL WITH PHILADELPHIA BIGGEST EVER EXECUTED IN BASEBALL WORLD
Although no official figures were given out in thd deal which gave Grover Alexander and Bill Klllifer to the Cubs, it was unofficially announced that President Weeghman figured that he forked over SIOO,OOO for the star battery. If such is the case it is biggest deal ever executed in baseball. Back about 1911 the baseball world was startled when the New York Nationals paid SII,OOO for Rube Marquard.-then with the Indianapolis club. No such deal ever had been turned before. The next year the Pittsburgh club paid, according to authentic reports, $22,500 to the St. Paul club for Pitcher Marty O’Toole and the Marquard deal was so far eclipsed that it soon was forgotten. , . Early in the year 1915 Charley Comlskey of the White Sox purchased Eddie Collins from Connie Mack for $50,000, with a reported bonus of $15,000 to Collins for signing the contract. The following spring, 1916, the Eddie Collins deal was duplicated, according to unofficial figures, when the Cleveland club forked over $50,000 for the services of Tris Speaker. / If Weeghman gave SIOO,OOO for Alexander and KHlifer, a part of which is In the form of players Prendergast and Dillhoefer, it is likely that he figured he was paying at the very least $75,000 for Alexander alone, which breaks all records for money paid for ball players and sets a mark likely to stand for years.

Adee, president of the United Lawn Tennis Association, was given a commission as major. Devereux Milburn, famous polo player, is a captain of field artillery. Jack Devereux, another pololst, is a first lieutenant of infantry. Among New York newspaper men who won their commissions are “Sheriff” W. O. McGeehan, former boxing editor of the Tribune, now a captain; Innls Brown, former baseball writer of the Tribune, now a first lieutenant. Jack Wheeler, former sporting editor of the Herald, and Bud Fisher, the cartoonist, landed second lieutenancies.
UNREST AMONG RACING MEN
Horsemen Who Are Looking Ahead Into Hazard* of War Conditions See Cause for Worry. Low figures for sterling thoroughbreds at recent horse sales in Lexington Is said to reflect a wide-spread feeling of unrest among horsemen who are looking into the hazards of racing under war conditions in 1918. One writer, purporting to reflect sentiment among turfmen, asserts many of them believed prudence should dictate a moderate policy, that it is not without the range of possibilities that racing may be considerably curtailed in the United States next year on account of war needs, which include the conservation of grain, and because of the Increasing transportation difficulties.

JOHN KILBANE OUT FOR GOOD
Former Featherweight Champion Now Teaching In Army Camp—Accumulates Fortune. Johnny Kilbane’s defeat at the hands of Benny Leonard in Philadelphia last summer marked the end of the featherweight’s career. Kilbane,
Johnny Kilbane.
after ruling the featherweight ranks since 1912, when he won the title from Abe Attel, has announced his permanent retirement from the ring, and his intention to devote his entire time to instructing soldiers in the art of boxing at Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, 0., where he is serving as boxing instructor. Kilbane has accumulated a small fortune from his ring engagements. He has sufficient, he announced,' to provide for himself and family for the rest of their days, and he has invested his earnings in Cleveland real estate. “I am through with the ring for good,” he said. “There will be no attempted comebacks. I have fought my last bout.” With the announcement of Kilbane’s retirement there has been a wild rush on the part of other featherweights to claim the championship.
PRIZE “BONE” IS UNNOTICED
“Red” Killifer Pull* One That Escape* Attention of Everybody Except Umpire*. Berle Casey, the umpire, who is wintering. In Portland, Ore., tells what he considers is the prize “boner” story of the coast league. It passed unnoticed. Ih the last series between the Angels and Tigers “Red” Killifer was playing third. The angels were in the field with two Vernon players on the sacks. Casey was umpiring behind the plate. The ball was tossed around the infield. When it came to Killifer he looked at it, and seeing that it was slightly roughened, tossed it to the Los Angeles bench, calling for another bait Casey waited a moment, then tossed another into play. Boles,- who was catching, turned around and said, “Did you call time?” He hadn’t, and the Vernon players could both have scored had they been “wise” to 1 the situation. ; Neither crowd nor players of either team noticed this lapse of memory on the part of Killifer. 1 ’» " -

CHOYNSKI AS FIGHTER
Lack of Weight Held Californian Back in Ring Game. Joe Began Ring Career About Thirty Years Ago and Jim Corbett, His Fellow Townsman, Was His First Opponent. Joe Choynski, who in his day was considered the greatest light heavyweight, was born at San Francisco on November 8, 1868, and was less than two years the junior of that other eminent San Franciscan, James J. Coi> bett. “ - ~ r -j Joe reached nearly six feet in altitude before he stopped growing. He began his ring career about thirty years ago, and Corbett, his fellow townsman, was his .first opponent. It was a bad start, for Jim stopped him in Jthe first chapter? r Jae won all of his next few bouts from secondraters, and in 1889 he decided to tackle Corbett again. They were matched to fight at Fhirfax, Cal., but the police broke up the fun. A little later they met at Benicia, Cai., famed as the early home of John Heenan, and Joe traveled 28 terrific rounds, but was finally defeated. A month or two later Choynski and Corbett mingled in San Francisco, and this time Joe was defeated in four rounds. After defeating Frank McLarney at Portland, Ore., and several other coast fighters, Choynski sailed for Australia, where he whipped several good men, but was twice defeated by Joe Goddard. * _ Upon his return to America Choynski fought an exhibition with John L. Sullivan. After defeating several other good men, Joe, in 1894, fought a draw with Bob Fitzsimmons at Boston. Two years later he defeated Jim Hall, but was afterward knocked out by Tom Sharkey in San Francisco and by Peter Maher in New York. la 1897 Choynski fought a 20-round draw with Jim Jeffries. In his later battles Joe was defeated by Kid McCoy, Kid Carter and Jack O’Brien, but his worst defeat was at the hands of the negro welterweight, Joe Wolcott, in 1900. He avenged himself on the black race in 1901, at Galveston, by stopping Jack Johnson. After he retired from the ring about fifteen years ago Joe became boxing and physical instructor of a leading athletic club in Pittsburgh.
SURELY AN EASY COURSE.
Misplaced enthusiasm for the game of golf has got many a man into difficulties. Not the least of these is the story of a golfer >,who had been at a feast which kept him from home until the wee small hours. His spouse, waking in the gray dawn, missed him and went on .a searching expedition which eventually led' to a billiard room which was all alight. As she opened the door, she saw the head of the house, putter in hand, in the scantiest of attire, standing on the table. “Whatever are you doing, John?” she asked sharply, And John, turning his head, said with all gravity: “Hush, m’dear, if—hie —getthish down I’ll be round in nine.”

WORTH OF MIDDLE-AGED MEN
Older Workers, Because of Skill, Steadiness and Reliability, Outclass Younger Fellows. In several Western cities "young-old” men have formed an organization that may become nation-wide in its scope, for the purpose of securing employment lor men who have passed their prime. This is decidedly the day of young men, and the man who has passed middle life without having laid up a competency or mastered some special line of work is at a dreadful disadvantage. rl—r f - j- But It has always been so. And age, now as always, says the Christian Herald, is not so much a matter of years as of declining enthusiasm. We have seen men on whose strong shoulders rests the burden of seven, eight and sometimes nine decades, full of un wasted power of spirit and strength when it comes to freshness and joy in the work done and the vision fulfilled. - The great work of the world Is being done and always has been done by men of middle life and more. Fourfifths of the business failures are made by young men. It is ripened experience and judgment that count in the business world, as in any other. In physical work the older man may be outclassed by the younger one; but in lines of work calling for skill, steadiness and reliability the older man has the advantage. There is something seriously wrong with an economic system that finds a man useless at fifty.
CARE OF THE HUNTING DOGS
Little Washing and Much Brushing Is Regarded Best for the Health of Any Cagine. I In the matter of grooming, says Outing, a cardinal principal is expressed in the bench show»handler’s apothegm “little washing .and much brushing.” Soap and water are bad for any dog’s coat. They wash away the natural oils, making the hair dry and brittle, and consequently the less washing the better the coat will be. The dog, however, must be kept clean. A good stiff brush vigorously and regularly applied will keep a pointer clean as a whistle, and the bristles act as a fine tonic, stimulating the growth of the hair and keeping the skin underneath clean and healthy. For the setter’s long coat the old English recipe is eggs rubbed in, allowed to dry and then brushed out again. The best combination is to use the whites for cleaning and to feed the yellows raw mixed up with bread or biscuits. This is the most effective use, for the whites contain no oil and make the cleaning easier, while the yolks are most valuable food. If the price of eggs, however, is prohibitive, cornmeal (white cornmeal very finely ground is the better) will answer the same purpose.
"Church of Gold."
There is no structure Just like St. Mark’s, in Venice, in the world, notes the Kansas City Journal. Its bulbshaped domes and minaretlike belfries remind the visitor of the Orient. It seems more like a Mohammedan than a Christian temple. In the facade are scores of variously colored marble columns, each one a monolith and all possessing au eventful history. Some are from Ephesus, others from Symrna, others from Constantinople and more than one even from Jerusalem. St. Mark’s is the treasure house of Venice, a place of pride as well as prayer. The work of' beautifying this old church was carried on for five centuries, and each generation tried to outdo all that had preceded it. The walls and roof are so profusely covered with mosaics and precious marbles that it is easy to understand why St. Mark’s has been called the “Church of Gold.”
Rats Enemies of Birds.
The number of useful insect-eating birds nesting on the ground or in low bushes which fall victims to rats is extremely large and is one of the many kinds of injury done by these pernicious animals which cannot be computed, writes E. W. Nelson in the National Geographic Magazine. Probably few frequenters of the countryside have returned to look into a bird’s nest to observe its condition without many times finding it destroyed and fragments of egg shells lying about. Unquestionably a large percentage of such nests located in the neighborhood of buildings have been raided by rats. On one of the small Danish islands it has been authentically recorded that the progeny of a single pair of rata, which escaped from captivity, in two years’ time exterminated a great colony of birds for which the island had been noted.
Khaki Colors Differ.
Considerable comment is being aroused in official circles and elsewhere over the disparity of the khaki I uniforms worn by officers and privates. I Some of them are so faded that they took almost white, while others retain original coloring. A, few cases have been noted, states the Pathfinder, I where the coat and breeches of uniforms have developed different hues. One excuse offered is that the khaki cloth is acquired from many manufacturers and the grades of it differ wide-1 ly sometimes. Thousands of young men entering the af&cen’ training camps purchase their own uniforms, and this provides,an opportunity for a difference in the quality <Nt the goods.

Must Have the Bronze.
A second requisition of church bells has taken place in Austria to the sorrow of the Catholic population of that country, according to advices received. The government came to the conclusion that further requisitioning was necessary, with the result that the church has had to sacrifice many morn, of its familiar and cherished bells to the never-satisfied Moloch of war. The idea of substituting steel bells for bronze has not yet eventuated, owing to the onerous conditions stipulated by bell manufacturers, who demanded, among other things, that the price should be paid In foodstuffs for the workmen in the factories.
