Fill a bottle or common glass with your water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment.or.vsettling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys; if it stains your linen it is evidence of kidney trouble; too frequent desire to pass it or pain in the back is also con- vincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in curing rheuma- tism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it,‘ or bad effects following use of liquOr, .wine or beer, and overcomes that un- pleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp- Root is soon realized. It stands the high- . est-for its wonderful cures of the most distressingcases. If you need a medi- cine you should have the-best. At drug- gists fifty cents or one dollar. You may have a sample, bottle and a. book that tells more about it, both sent absolutely free by mail, if on send your address to Dr. Kilmer Jr. 0., Bingham- ton, N. Y.

James Hoyt of New Canaan, who represents that town in the House Luis session, is the fourth member of his family to have the honor of represent- ing that good old town. For three generations the "Hoyt family have held seats in the "General Assembly .and kepta watchful eye on the inter- ests of their town. The preSent rep- resentative, while over 70 years of age, is spry and active and no measure is introducedthat does not claim his undivided attention. He has a prom- inent seat in front of the speaker and is an active member of the body. Mr. Hoyt’s grandfathir, Captain Stephen Hoyt, .first represented the town 80 years ago. At that time the session was alternated between New ular occasion was in Hartford. The only means of transportation was the old slow mail’ coaches. The session last- ed but three weeks and Captain Hoyt dreading the monotony of a trip in the coach, walked from Hartford to his home. He spent two days on the road. In 1833 and 1840, his son Captain Ste- phen Hoyt, jr., was a member of the House and in 1870 the latter’s son, Ed- win Hoyt, was the representative. At this session ‘a brother of the latter, James Hoyt, looks after the town’s in- terest. The Hoyt family are well known in the vicinity of New Canaan, and the fact that the present represen- tative, although over 70, is alert and ac- tive, shows that it is of the right mater- ial.—‘Bridgeport Standard. ”as-.- What Do the Children Drink? ‘ Don’t give them tea or coffee. Have you tried the new food drink called Grain-O? It is delicious and nourish- ing and takes the place of coffee.
