Deaths. There is a disease prevailing in this 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 al­ lowed. to advance the k i d n e y - p o i s o n e d blood will attack the _ vital organs or the kidneys thfcmselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Bladder troubles most always result from a derangement of the kidneys and a cure is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys. If you are feeling badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. It corrects inability to hold urine and scald­ ing pain in passing it, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many time3 during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of §vyamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for }t§ y/oryr derful cures of the most distressing cases4 Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sized bottles. You may have a sample bottle of this wonderful new dis­ covery and a book that tells all about it, both sent free by mail. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co. Binghamton, N. Y.

The custom of naming a ship when It is launched with the breaking of a bottle of wine on the prow is a sur­ vival of an ancient practice which had many forms. In early times, when the frame of a house was raised, the bot­ tle of wine was broken on the ridge­ pole. The usage Is mentioned in Mc- Lellan's "History of Gorham, Maine.". It was the custom at a raising to break a bottle of spirit on the ridge­ pole and to repeat some rlfymes, "nam­ ing the frame," as it was called. When, in 1839, Jacob H. Clement of West Gorham raised a stable, John Phlnney, an o|d Revolutionary soldier who was present, repeated the following lines, which be said were used in naming the frame of Captain John Stephen­ son's house and barn, which were raised about 1775: FOR THB HOU8B nUMl.

The ideal of a graceful sitting posture has varied in the differept ages of the world. The Egyptian sat holt upright, the knees and feet closely pressed to­ gether. It was the oereinonial atti­ tude. The Greeks and ftomana, when they were at liberty to forget their dignity, sat stooping, with one or both elbows supported by the arms of the chair, The Chinese ideal was with the knees and feet wide apart They have maintained that attitude in sitting for 400 years. The Saxons and early Nor­ man kings are- represented in old manuscript and on coins in the same position. Down to a date compara­ tively recent, kings and queens re ceived sitting stiffly on their thrones, any marked change of posture being thought to derogate from the royal dig­ nity. They now receive standing. Suicide Prevented. *the startling announcement that a preventive of suioide had been discovered will interest many.
