the kidney-poison- j

tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of
the bladder, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from a derangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by a proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing 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
scalding pain iu passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to go often through the day,
and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold bv all druggists in fifty-cent and
one-dollar size 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. Kil

writing mention reading this generous
offer in this paper. Don't make any
mistake, but rememberthe name, Swamp-
Root, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the

Chicago Mob Tries to Lynch.
In an attempt to lynch a negro
who had attacked a white girl
while on her way to work, a
Chicago mob of nearly 1,000 men
made a charge on a policeman,
and would have taken and hang
ed his prisoner but for the time
ly arrival of patrolmen from the
Harrison Street and Central Sta
tions.
The scene of the attempted
lynching was at Van Buren street
and Wabash avenue, in the heart
of the business district, and with
in two blocks of the Auditorium
annex. The crowd was so large
and so determined that a riot call
was turned in for extra details of
police.
The negro, Martin Vicent, who
is believed to be a Springfield re
fugee, attacked Miss Josephine
Ludwig, 16 years old, of 74 West
Nineteenth street, at 262 Wabash
avenue. He beat and knocked
her in an effort to over come her.
The girl's screams attracted E.
W. Putnam, the elevator opera
tor, and he attempted to capture
the negro. Putnam was knocked
down by the assailant of the girl,
but quickly regained his feet and
pursued the negro, calling for
help.
The negro sprang upon a mov
ing street car, but Policeman
Carnev jumped upon the one fol
lowing and compelled its motor
man to drive full speed until it
came up with the car on which
the negro was riding. Then the
negro surrendered. The mob
demonstration followed.

HOW TO GET STRONG
P. J. Daly, of 1247 W. Congress St.,
Chicago, tells of a way to become
strong; He says my mother, who is old
and was very feeble, is deriving so much
benefit from Electric Bitters, that I
feel it's my duty to tell those who need
a tonic and strengthening medicine
about it. In my mother's case a mar
ked gain in flesh has resulted, insomnia
has been overcome, and she is steadily
growing stronger." Electric Bitters
quickly remedy stomache, liver and
kidney complaints. Sold under guaran

How a Young Girl's Hair Should
Be Arranged.
THE EFFECT MUST BE SIMPLE
Anything the Least Bit Artificial Is
Inartistic and Incongruous—Ribbon
Adornment Eminently Suited to the
Fresh Young Faoes They Surround.
When a young girl reaches that
milestone In her career which is
marked by the lengthening of her
frocks and the turning up' of her
braids, she is as deeply concerned
about the fashion of doing her hair as
any debutante is over the questiou of
puffs or no puffs. Candidly, the sub
ject of hairdressing means more to the
girl who wears her braids up for the
first time than It does to her older sis
ter. She has nothing ; to guide her jn
the way of former experience, and she
does not always get that sympathetic
A bow TOiraUKK.
help older sisters might render if they
remembered how important the coif
fure is to the schoolgirl.
Doing the hair up does not mean
that the hair is actually arranged on
the top of the head. The "up" is used
comparatively iu contrast to the hang
ing braids or curls worn by girls under
fourteen. In a general way the young
girl's coiffure is following in the lead
of the one adopted by fashionable
women. It suggests ever so slightly a
Grecian effeet by reason of its full
ness at the back of the head.
A simple way to manage this style
of dressing is to roll the sides of the
hair back from the face, either from a
middle part or straight back from the
forehead, and twist it altogether in a
double loop, pinning the coils across
the head in a horizontal line.
Anything the least bit suggestive of
artificiality in a young girl's hairdress
ing is not only inartistic, but borders
on the Incongruous. Naturalness is the
point aimed at, and a marcel wave, no
matter how cleverly it is accomplished,
stamps any head with artificiality. Al
most all girls' hair has a slight wave of
Its own around the face, and this may
be encouraged by simple means, but
never by the iron.
Fancy hairpins, ornaments and combs
are not proper features of girls' coif
fures. They wear shell pins and combs
to serve a practical purpose, but never
In a decorative way. When the hair
Is not tied before it is put up a comb
will be found most useful in keeping
the hair In place and In making the
dressing simpler. These combsr rarely
show, however, and when one does
get a gllmpse-of them It is only of a
bit of polished tortoise shell rim. Rib
bons wound through the pompadour
and In and out of the coils make a
pretty way to arrange the hair for a
party. Ribbons are simple aud artis
tic and eminently suited to the fresh
young faces they surround. The dou-
MODIPIED PSYCHE,
ble faced kind a little over an Inch
wide gives the best results. The weav
ing may start at the back and cross
la front through the pompadour, then
be brought back to the knot again and
the ends tucked under a loop of the
hair or the two tied In a girlish bow.
AMY VARNUM.
Don't Be Discouraged.
Beginning a thing is easy. It's the
■ticking to It that is difficult The test
of character is the ability to go on
and finish. It is a rare virtue and an
exceedingly valuable' one. for, what
ever you have set yourself to do, there
will surely come a time of discourage
ment, when you doubt if, after all, it
is worth while. Look out for that
time—the time when you are tempted
to turn back. It is there that the dan
ger lies. It doesn't matter what your
work is—earning a living or making a
home or conquering a besetting sin—
the discouragement is bound to come.
Don't give way to It Be prepared for
It and make up your mJhd to keep on.
