Women’s complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease. If the kidneys are not in a healthy con- ' dition, they may cause the other organs i to become diseased. You may suffer pain in the back, headache and loss of ambition. Poor health makes you nervous, irritable and may be despondent; it makes any one so. But hundreds of women claim that Dr. i Kilmer’s fewamp-Root, by restoring i health to the kidneys, proved to be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions. 1 Many send for a sample bottle to see what । Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder medicine, will do for them.

| What Squire Jim | Wanted £ By MARTHA M. WILLIAMS 2 । ©. 1922, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate. If jou know the thing you want, ■ there’s always the chance of getting it by hook or crook or odd chance. But if you don t know —well, there । is quite another story, as Squire Jim I Lewis, poor gentleman, was to prove. He did not lack either possession or , occupation. Contrariwise, he suffered an embarrassment of riches—a big farm, full-stocked with the best of everything that walked, wallowed, ■ tlew and ate, a fine substantial house, j cram-full of plenishings as fine, a good name, money in bank and expectations. There did seem nothing left a reasonable man to sign for. Yet —there was. Just what, he did not know, acutely as he was conscious of a dully aching void. Aunt Keziah, । who kept house for him, said shrewdly she didn’t know what Jimmy needed I wust—to get a wife or religion. Religion would be safest —you could always backslide if the collar galled—and there you were. Divorces cost money—besides, folks remembered । them so long. Worst risk, though, i was of things not going that far. S’pose Jimmy tied up with a woman who tried to make him eat by the books—cold bread and health-truck for breakfast—and no pie whatever, no time at all? It galled Jimmy, even grouched him, this puzzle with no answer. The answer was not a wewnan—that was the | surest thing he knew. Notwithstanding, he was no woman-hater, rather . one who cherished a vast, vague respect for the whole sex —so vast and vague it chilled warmer feelings. Athwart this bewilderment flashed, rainbow wise, a hunia^i rainbow, by name Lyle Grayson. Not in any safe, conventional way, either, but by tne conjunction of d<><>p mud. a stalled car I an<l a perfectly beautiful young man—so beautifully spotless he seemed out . of place, packing a glass sharp* for I protection. Titularly he was driving, hut the girl beside him had evidently been doing the real work. Her nose was smudgeri, one ban- wrist deeply scratched, her eyes pools of adoration mixed with concern. She hailed Squire Jim alertly at ■right, asking help In the first words. Need of it was oo clear to require explanation. “Come here and make this car go through your . red mud. ’ she all but demanded. “It’s —it’s new to us; were strangers, you know.’’ “Honeymooners." the squire was somehow bold enough to answer. The girl smiled deliciously, saying with frank pleasure: “Not yet. but soon — I provided you get us out.” “Pretty deep,’’ the rescuer com- ' mented. dismounting at the edge of the puddle. “If you hail drove spang through the middle you might a made it safe —it's deepest and stickiest by that far bank.’’ “Never mind about that the thing is to get through it —somehow,” the girl said, impatiently. “We are quite helpless. Arthur—my fiance—never tried to elope nor run a car until this morning.” “He ought to be game for wadin’ in red mud." Squire Jim commented. “I won't let him." Lyle said sweetly. “He hasn't any other clothes along—you don't think he wants to be married looking like a hod-carrier?" “Wouldn't care how 1 looked —If I got my girl." Squire Jim countered, thereby amazing himself. Somehow this girl had melted things inside—he had lost his sense of futility—life was 1 no longer sapless, but teeming with high adventure. He was in mud halfthigh deep, in spite of wearing his second best suit. But that didn't matter —nothing mattered except to hear further that bewitching voice. It said: •Oh, thank you so much!” as he stopped to test the full depth and stiffness of the mud. “Lightening lead's the only chance,” he said, looking up. “Hand out your traps —I'll take ’em to dry land —then come back for you,” “Oh, we can never get out of the car.” Lyle exclaimed in dismay. “At least I can't —have to drive, you know. But if you think you can manage with ■ Arthur —not let him fall —” there she stopped perforce —the squire had somehow yanked her from her seat, .nd was ; carrying her over to the firm roadside. As he sat her down he said, master- , fully over his shoulder: “Arthur, no \ ready—long time I reckon since you I rode pick-a-back." Arthur rose up, ■ outblushing the reddest rose, made as though to plunge in the mud. but stopped short at his sweetheart’s cry: “If you do that all is off between us.” So there was excuse for the ride he I took, wishing the while he might strangle his steed. But as his feet i touched earth a new terror beset him —over the hedge, half flying, hat awry, burst a tall, muscular woman, her eyes Stormy, but her cheeks stained witli tears. She had seen the transfer of ■ Arthur. Instantly she clutched him.

TO THE EXTREMES IN PHILOSOPHY

Greek Sages Held Widely Different Views Concerning Life and All Connected Therewith. Heraclitus, “the naturalist,” a Greek sage of Ephesus, who lived about 500. B. C.. was railed the “weeping philosopher" because of the grim solemnity of i his bearing and the utter hopelessness ।of his views of human life. H 1 was, in fact, a champion pessimist. “He was the tirst to note.” says James Wood, "how everything throughout the uni- | verse is in constant flux, and nothing j permanent but in transition, from being to nothing and from nothing to being; from life to death and from death to life; that nothing is; that everything becomes; that the truth of lieing is becoming, that- no one. nothing. is exempt from this law. the law symbolized by the fable of the Phoenix in the fire.” “The Laughing Philosopher” was a name ghen to the Greek page, Democritus of Abdera, in Thrace, who lived between 460 and 357, B C because of his satire at the exI

crying loudly. “I am In time, thank God. I turned back, finding you had not reached the minister. Heaven guided me across fields to find and save you." “Here, I want the straight of this!” Squire Jim demanded. Holding Arthur tight, the newcomer answered: I “The straight is—merely that I am j saving my son from an adventuress. She ran off with him in her car this morning. By help of providence I have foiled her. My boy is under age. She shall not ruin his life. 1 had rather see him dead than her husband. You are, I suppose, her tool.” “Not so you’d notice it,” was the retort. “Never saw either of the two till half an hour back. But if I’m a judge of small matters, she,” nodding at Lyle, “is the luckiest one. Can’t think how she ever took a shine to Arthur—unless she’s so young she still hankers after toys.” Arthur tried to spring at the squire’s throat —majestic mamma restrained him, saying: “We will not stay here to bandy words with a ruffian. Come, my son —I left the car a little way back on the main road. I do hope you left nothing of value in that car,” glancing scornfully at the stalled roadster. “We will not, however, stop to investigate—even though you should have lost your purse." “I have the license —If that's what you're concerned about,” Lyle cried, springing to her feet. She had crouched, cowering upon the grassbank—now she faced Arthur, mute but with entreating eyes. He could not meet their gaze—turning, he muttered something that sounded like: “We must wait;” then went dutifully along with his natural protector. Lyle watched them disappear, the entreaty dying slowly from her glance. When they had vanished she turned to Squire Jim. trying to laugh and speak saucily—but broke down utterly and flung herself prone upon the grass, her body shaken pitifully with hard, dry sobs. He let her be for five minutes, busying himself the while with the car. Empty, he managed to drive it clear and halt it some little distance beyond its owner. She sat up at the sound of it. her face burning, and said breathlessly: “I want to get away—to hide from all the world. Tell me where to go." “instead. I’ll show you." said Squire Jim, handing her into the car. It took them miles on miles till in early afternoon it halted in front of a jwaceful gray house, neither big nor little, with flowers in the yard, a gray ent on the steps, and a pretty failed woman rocking on the jM>nh. To her Squire Jim said unsteadily: “Mary—l know what I want—you. This child has shown me a woman's worth. She is hurt —I’ve brought her to you for shelter and healing. Will you help to pay what We owe her?" Very tenderly Mary Elliott murmured : “Yes." Man.age Strenuous Ceremony. Marriage Is a strenuous ceremony among the Wakikuyu tribe in East Africa. The bridegroom, having paid down the first installment of ten goats to his prosj»ective father-in-law, as dowry, fends three of his friends to waylay the girl at a certain prearranged spot. He carries her off to < his mother s hut, while she fights hack an 1 weeps continually. After she has been placed in the hut she weeps for eight days more, while her husband remains away. Th? actual marriage takes place ten days later. Next morning the bride's girl friends come and make a great display of sorrow on losing their playmate. They stay for three days, during which period they weep endlessly. When they are gone the play is over; the husband builds his own hut. and the young couple settle down to married lite. Portia’s Grab Settled. What shall Portia wear when she is called to the English bar? Five learned judges have been puzzling over the question and have decided that she shall wear just what her brother barristers in England do. There is a safety clause in the decision, however, for it has been decreed that their gowns shall be plain black or very dark, to prevent the appearance of a woman barrister in mauve or pink, and also that skirts are to be "not shorter than the gown.” The ordinary wig. which completely conceals the hair, is to be worn so that the task of ascertaining whether counsel Is he or she may at times become a little bit complicated. Old-Time Buildings. Lanciani, the archeologist. has shown that in the Rome of the Ceasars trouble was experienced with high buildings. A law was passed restricting the height of fronts to 60 feet. In order to evade it. builders adopted the practice of carrying up the rear portions several stories more. Other laws bearing on the heights of buildings were passed in old times. There was a tendency to diminish the height of stories as the buildings increased in size, and a height of 130 feet was probably attained. It is believed that the ceilings were so low that a man could not stand upright in the rooms.

pense of the human race. He showed much flippancy in discussing human life and viewed with supreme contempt the aspirations of man. “He laughed or jeered at the feeble powers of man,” says Dr. Brewer, “so wholly in the powers of fate that nothing he did or said was uncontrolled.” This ancient philosopher advanced a theory of the formation of the universe by atoms in motion, which was later developed by Epicurus and Lucretius.

Scientists are given something to ponder over by the assertion of Rich- | ard Franklin Pettigrew of Sioux * Palls, S. !>.. former United States semi- j tor, upon his return to the city from a four-months' trip along the west coast of South America, that stone implements representing the stone age in Chile are exactly like a number of stone hatchets, axes and other implements recently found in the hills along the Split Rock and Big Sioux rivers, ten or fifteen miles east of Sioux Fails. Pettigrew states that a doctor who is studying prehistoric man at Santiago, Chile, gave the implements to him. "I was intensely interested In the resemblance," said Pettigrew, “though I do not pretend to account for it. The United Slates ambassador sent them to the United States for me and I found them on my return to Washington.” After hearing a glee club the patient listener is apt to v onder where it got Its name.

There Is an old saying that a beautiful painting judges us, not we the i painting. So In most things. Most i people think they are passing judgment, when in reality their lack of real knowledge is “showing them up.” Wherefore, many people keep their mouths shut most of the time. A little knowledge may be a dangerous thing, but most to be desired. Recently a man was looking at a beautiful photograph of a modern Greek girl posed in front of the Parthenon. It was a symphony of the old and new, । the glory that was Greece, to quote Poe’s immortal phrase again, and the beauty that always characterizes a lovely woman. “Isn’t that a fine picture?” he asked another. The other surveyed the photograph critically. “Yes,” he said. “She’s got awful ■ surroundings, though. What did she go up in the rocks for?” After an evil is “regulated” for a century or two it is on the way to be smashed altogether.

Western Canada Land of Prosperity offers to home seekers opportunities that cannot be secured elsewhere. The thousands of farmers from the United States who have accepted Canada’s generous offer to settle on FREE homesteads or buy farm land in her provinces have been well repaid by bountiful crops. There is still available on easy terms Fertile Land at sls to S3O an Acre — land similar to that which through many years has yielded from 20 to 45 bushels of wheat to the acre —oats, barley and flax also in great abundance, while raising horses, cattle, sheep and hogs is equally profitable. Hundreds of farmers in Western Canada have raised crops in a single season worth more than the whole cost of their Land.

WOMAN HAS HISTORIC PEN Used by President Harrison When He Signed the Present American Copyright Bill. The recent celebration by the League of American Pen Women of their twenty-fifth anniversary, or "silver jubilee,” makes this story timely: During the administration of Benjamin Harrison, the present American copyright bill was passed. William McKinley, then a member of the house of representatives, offered the bill, the data for which was supplied by Margaret Sullivan Burke, newspaper correspondent. and afterward first president of the League of American Pen Women. She gave this league its first home and its name. Afterward, when President Harrison signed this bill, the pen with wnicb he signed it was presented to Mrs. Burke by Elijah Halford, his private j secretary, and one of her old Indiana friends. This pen is now in the possession of her daughter, Hilda Burke. Mapping out a “career” makes no allowance for the power of people you like to sidetrack you.
