Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerful- ness soon disappear when the kidneys are out of order or dis­ eased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent t hat it is r?ot uncom­ mon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the child urinates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wet­ ting, depend upon it, the cause of thediffi- culty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made miser­ able with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the ssfme great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, in fifty- cent and one-dollar size bottles. Yoymay have a sample bottle by mail free, also a Home of pamphlet telling all about Swamp-Root, including many of the thousands of testi­ monial letters received from sufferers cured. In writing Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingham ton, N. Y., be sure and mention this paper. , Don't make any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp Root, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the ad­ dress, Binghamton, N. Y., on every bottle.

Features of the Meeting of Intereat Both Dairymen and Butter makers. Butter judging contests held at nearly all the conventions of the season, have been successful and are becoming estab­ lished as a popular .educational feature. One is to be held at the convention of Illinois State Dairymen's association in Marengo on the morning of January 14. Only buttermakers who have butter en­ tered in the exhibit will be entitled to compete, and the prize will be a butter tryer, to go to the one whose scores on five tubs of butter vary the least from the judge's markings. Another prize open to buttermakers will be a gold medat to be given by the Elgin board of trade. This medal, val­ ued at $25, is the only special premium the association permits, (all other prizes being cash), and it will go to the butter- njaker employed by an Elgin board of trade member who scores highest. The milk contest will also be held the forenoon of January 14, and in the after­ noon ah address by C. B. Lane, assistant chief of the dairy division, United States department of agriculture, will be es­ pecially interesting to milk producers and particularly to milk shippers. For the dairymen there will be ad­ dresses on topics of the greatest interest and by men who are leaders in the in­ dustry. Among the speakers will be O. C. Gregg, superintendent of farmers' in­ stitutes in Minnesota, and a practical dairyman, who has been in the business and has given particular attention to breeding dairy cattle for 85 years; H. G. Van Pelt, in charge of the state dairy farm run in connection with the Iowa dairy school; Colon C. Lillie, as­ sistant dairy and food commissioner of Michigan; Prof. C. C. Hayden, universi­ ty of Illinois, who will discuss the spe­ cial work the dairy department of that institution has been doing in and abont Marengo. There will be a number of other speak­ ers of prominence who will discuss.prac­ tical dairy topics and from a practical standpoint. Crying dolls--49o and 98c ^ Block & Bethke's. Here's Good Advice.
