Celebrities of the Oay. lit addition to the usual stories of people by well-known authors which are featured in each issue of Human X«ife, the February number, under -th«r*teap- tion, "Celebrities of the Day," contains short, illustrated sketches, written in bright and chatty style, of the following: Ensign Kenneth Whiting, who recent­ ly risked his life in one of the strangest experiments ever tried, in order to solve a submarine engineering problem. Jean Cudahy, an American girl who ha#been made a queen,--and she didn't have to marry a foreign adventurer to secure her title, either. Miss Frances McCl|y:g, a Denver-heir­ ess and beauty of the Burns-Jones type, who lives in constant danger of kidnap­ ping. Mrs. EHzabeth Wilson, cake maker to presidents, kings and other foreign po­ tentates. Edwin A Brown, who has a wonder ful scheme in mind which may do away with jails and penitentiaries. Major General Elliott, who is out with a radical plan to attract ambitions young men to the army. Mrs. Amy C. Gouraud, a wealthy New York woman, and how Bhe became a worshipper of Buddha. Miss Eleanora Sears, and just why she is ranked the best-dressed woman in the United States. Mrs. Van De Man, who thwarted Alice Longworth's pet ambition to be the first American woman to fly in a heavier-than-air machine. Miss Winifred Gibbs, who i!s teaching the poor of New York's great East Side how to market and cook. ' iiv:: Tlae Cause of Many - ,/ Sudden Deaths. There is & disease prevailing in this country most d^ugerous becatueso decep­ tive. Manysodden deaths are caused by it--heart dis­ ease, pneumonia, heart failure or apoplexy are often the result of kid ney disease. If kidney trouble is allowed toadvance the kidney-poison­ ed blood will at­ tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of the bladder, brick-dust or sediment in the urine, head ache, hack ache, lame back, dizziness, sleeplessness, nervous­ ness, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Bladder troubles almost always result from a derangement of the kidneys and better health in that organ is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kid­ neys. Swamp-Root corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often through the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and immediate effect of Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest be­ cause of its remarkable health restoring properties. A trial will convince anyone. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar size bottles. You may have a sample bottle and a book that tells all about it, both sent free by mail. Address, Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. When writing mention reading this gen­ erous offer in this paper. Don't make any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp-Root, and don't let a dealer sell you something in place of Swamp-Root-- if you do you will be disappointed. l>*itce at Johnftburgh.
