Tlie Discoverer of Swamp-Root at Wort ia Sis Laboratory. - There is a disease prevailing in country most dangerous because so decep» tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by it--heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure or apoplexy are often the result of kidney disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad-' vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Then the richness of the blood--the albumen --leaks out and the sufferer has Bright'* Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root the new dis­ covery is the true specific for kidney, bladder afid urinary troubles. It has cured thousands of apparently hopeless cases, after all other efforts have failed At druggists in fifty-cent and dollar sizes.

Another Change In Size, The St. Charles Chronicle, one of the brightest pajwrs published in Illi­ nois, says in its last issue; "Next week the Chronicle will inaug­ urate another change in the size of the paper. We will -return to the 8-page size, but will have six pages of home- print, as at present. In other words, six of the eight pages will be devoted to local news and local advertising, and the other two will be devoted to general news and advertisements. At present, our readers will note, six pages are given up to home news, and six to general news. "The principal reason for this change is that the extremely high price of | yaper at the present time, makes it un- ' profitable to publish a paper of the j present size at $l.r>0 a year. I "We believe, too, that the majority | of our subscribers take the Chronicle I for the local matter that it contains, ] and caTe little or nothing for the general | news matter. Believing this, we expect, in a few mouths, to make the paper all home-print, which will undoubtedly give better satisfaction to our readers." The Chronicle will in future be the same size as The Plaindealer. Since the first issue in January of this year we have printed all our paper at home. This has greatly increased the cost of , getting out The Plaindealer, but the present company is determined to make the paper one of the best in this part of the state. As to how our efforts have been appre­ ciated we can only say that our circula­ tion hasbeen gradually growing and since buying the Journal and merging the circulation of both papers into one we have now a very large list of sub­ scribers. We are always ready and willing to act on any suggestion to better our paper and will always be pleased to receive suggestions from our subscribers.
