COLLECTING THE FLOATING MINES
A recent photograph of the British auxiliary patrol collecting mines that
.had been washed ashore by gales. The task of collecting all the mines that
were laid during the war and clearing the seas of these mines is extremely
dangerous, and is but one of the tasks that must be accomplished by the
British navy.

follows : The span of the upper wing from tip to tip is 126 feet ; the depth of the
wings, 12 feet; the gap between the upper and lower planes, 12 feet, and the
length from the propeller to tail, 70 feet. The boat, known as the Curtiss

There is a striking article in' Knowl

careful directions as to how the light

altogether independently of any ex

grow and produce light better if kept
entirely in the dark. -Their efficiency
as light producers is extremely high,

will destroy 2 worth of food in a

OLD PRESCRIPTION
Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
j kensively. advertised, all at once drop out
I of -sight and are o.on:."forgotten? The
(reason is plain the article did not fulfij
the promises of the manufacturer. This
ipplies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal; , preparation that has real
surative value almost sells itself, as like
in endless chain - system the remedy- is
recommended by those .who have' been
benefited,' to those who are ill need of it.
,A prominent druggist says, "Take for
example ' Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
ind never hesitate, to recommend, for in
ilmost every case it shows excellent re
sults, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that I know of
has so large a sale." s
According to sworn statements and
rerified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of Dr.
Kilmers' Swamp-Root is due to the fact
that so many people claim, it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur
inary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Address
Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

Excessive Exercise.
"No," confessed Aunt Fretty, "my
risit to Kansas City didn't do me the
?ood I expected it to. My niece and
the folks were real kind to me and
lid everything in the world that, any
body could do to make me comfort
ible. But it seemed like I couldn't
?et rested at all, somehow. You see,
:hey live on a pretty busy street and
Jie house Is right close up to the side
walk, and, I guess likely, running to

body going by gave me more exercise

Backache ?
Rheamatism ?
Those of us who are past middle age
are prone to eat 'too much meat and in
consequence deposit lime-salts in the
arteries, veins and joints. We often
suffer from twinges of rheumatism or
lumbago, sometimes-from gout, swollen
hands or feet. There is no longer the
slightest need of this, however, as the
new prescription, Anuric," is bound
to give immediate results as it is many
times more potent than lithia, in ridding
the impoverished blodd of its poisons
by way of the kidneys. It can be ob
tained at almost any drug store, by
simply asking for "Anuric" for kidneys
or backache. It will overcome such
conditions as rheumatism, dropsical
swellings, cold extremities, scalding and
burning urine and sleeplessness due to
constant arising from bed at night.
Send to Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, N. Y., for a 10c. trial package.
Fredericksburg, Va. "I suffered with kidney
trouble for about four months. I would have
pains across my kidneys and lumbago, and when
I would stoop over I could scarcely straighten up.
Then at times it was impossible for me to stoop
at all, and I became so bad that I was almost
down and out, when I saw An uric advertised and
decided to give it atrial. It was only necessary
for me to take one bottle to completely cure me
and I have not felt the slightest trace of kidney
trouble since. I recommend Ahuric to all those
Suffering with backache or kidney ailments of
