Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours: a sediment or settling indicates a diseased condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. What to do There is comfort in the know-ledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy, fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effect following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine yon should have the best. Sold by druggists; price fifty ' cents and one dollar. For a sample bottle - and pamphlet, both sent free by mail, mention the Walkerton Independent and send your full post-office address to .Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.

J, The Life Beyond the Grave. “There is a little book entitled ‘The Life Beyond’ that presents the truth of the Resurrection in a wounderful man ner,” writes Evangelist Moody in the August Ladies’ Home Journal. “It is an allegory and pretends to give the ex periences of a little dragon fly grub. The litUe insect longs to know what is .. .1 TTrtH ittleworld. In j inquires of the fish that live in ' tk nine pond, but they have no exper- , ience in any other sphere, nor can any of its fellows satisfy its anxious yearning. The only world it knows is a little ! meadow pond: all its experience is lim ited by the bounds of the surrounding banks. At length the grub is overcome iby a strange attraction upward, and j gathering about it all its fellows it tells ! that it must leave them for the regions ! above, and promises to return to tell them what it has found to exist in the beyond, if, indeed, there may be anything ; above the bulrushes of their little pond. And then quietly it disappears from the sight of its fellows and emerges into the bright sunlight, of the greater world. Here it is transformed, and now with outstretched wings it darts hither and thither reflecting the brightness of the i sun from its gorgeous body. But it i does not forget the promises it has made to the friends it has left below. It tries to return to the world from which it has just been resurrected, but cannot now leave the atmosphere in which it lives. \ll it can do is to wait for them to come i to where it now lives, a beautiful dragon fly.

“And thus it is with those who have disappeared from our sight. Their love for us is not lessened because they are not able to commune with uh. but they arc waiting in the presence of the Master for that glorious moment when in their j resurrected bodies they shall unite once , ^nore with those whom they have loved |on earth." 1 Pay your water rent to Ed Grider ; ^treasurer of the water works company.
