Women Shoul__d Know ll.
Many women suffer untold agony and
,5 misery because the nature of thei1 dis-
ease is not correctly understood. They
have been led to beliéve that womb
trouble or female weakness of some
sort is responsible for the many ills
that beset womankind. ,
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache,
puffy or dark circles under the eyes,
1heurnatism, a dragging pain or dull
ache in the back, weakness or hearing
down sensation, profuse or scanty sup,
ply of urine with strong odor, frequen-
desire to pass it with scalding or burnt
ing sensation, sediment in it after
standing in bottle or common glass for
twenty- -fou1 hours, are signs of kidney
and bladder trouble.
The abOVe symptoms are often at-
11 ibuted by the patient herself, or by
her physician, to female weakness or
womb trouble. Hence, so many fail to
obtain relief, because they are treating
not the disease itself, but a reflection
of the primary cause, which is kidney
trouble.
In fact, women as well as men are
made miserable with kidney and blad-
der trouble and both need the same
remedy.
Dr. Kilmer’ s swamp-Root, is the
reat discovery of the eminent kidney
and bladder specialist, and is easy to
get at any drug store for fifty cents or
one dollar.
To prove its wonderful merits, you
may have a sample bottle and book
telling all about it, both sent absolute-
ly free by mail. Kindly mention THE
NORWALK GAZETTE and send ou-
Jiaddress to Dr. Kilmer 8: 630., B ngr

1' ' TRAINED DOGS.
A... Said to he the Most Profitable
Attraction in the Vande-
vllle Line.
“Considering the investment, trained
dogs are one of the most plofitable at-
tractions in. the vaudeville line,” said an
_oldtime showman recen" 1y. “I suppose
'there are at least 1? or 15 troupes of
them scattered- over "the country,” he
continued, “and the good ones easily
average a couple of hundred aWeek and
expenses. As there are no salaries to
pay for the dogs a-nd'no hotel bills for
anybody except the proprietor and one
.keeper the returns are rather hand-
some. Nowadays they have the busi~
ness down to such a. fine point that the
sudden death of any of. the animals can
be readily remedied by telegraphing to
New York, Where several men make a‘
specialty of keeping standard trick
dogs in stock. A dog troupe usually
consists of five performers, one of
which is a, star. The star probably cost
$150 and the others about $50 apiece.
Mongrels of no intrinsic worth are gen-
erally selected for training purposes,
because. they learn as quickly as the
thoroughbreds and~if anything happens
to them the loss is so much lighter.
There is a standard series of tricks
Which they are taughtfodo, so thatone
can easily replace another, and a little
ingenuity on the part of the showman
supplies the var ietv to the programme.
It goes without saying tha’r the star .
performer has his special act, which
some of the rest attempt. I am speak-
ing now of the general run of such en-
tion's bf finely bred dogs that have been
mest' elaborately , and marvelously
trained by their exhibitors and, of
course, they are unique. One such
troupe is at present coining money by
Ithe bushel 1n Cuba. ” .
FROM CU I” TO KING.
That “Every Do" Has His Day” Is In-
tcrcstingly Exempiifiea by an
English Canine.
Police Constable Dale, of the Learn-'1
‘ington (England) force, has a kind
' heart, and he has found that kindness
pays, says the London Sketch. In J an-
uary of the past year he saw oneday
a sad sight in the streets—a. poor, ema—
ciated and "most miserable-looking
spaniel being dragged along, tied to the
back of a dust cart. He not only pitied
the poor animal, but 'came to his res-
cue. After ascertaining from the dust-
man that the (leg had been given to him
by a lady who wanted to get rid of it,
and who certainly must have been
without a particle of womanliness or
humanity, Dale purchased the dog for
a. shilling. He took him home, care-
fully tended and fed him, and King
Kruger (for that is the name he has
given his pet) has now developed into
a beautiful silky-haired field spaniel.
At the recent Leamington dog and fan-
ciers’ shcw~ Constable Dale exhibited
King Kruger, who simply carried all be-
fore him, winning thefirst prize in his
own class, the five—guinea challenge cup
for the best dog in the show, and a
special prize of a half-hundredweight
of dog food given by a London firm.
King Kruger now has a. beautifully
glossy coat—black, with gray patches.
LARGEST RANCH IN WORLD.
Its Area 15 Greater Than That of
Rhodc Island and Delaware

4 . ‘ .
.~ It seems natural that the largest
ranch in the world should be found in
th‘h largest state in the union——Texas.
writes William 'Clinton, in Ladies’
Home Journalfi Indeed, this ranch is so
extensive that some states could not
contain it. Connecticut, for example,
could not hold it by several thousand.
acres. The two states'of Rhode Island
and Delaware combined could not con-
tain this immense ranch, which con—
sists of 3,000,000 acres“, or about t5,000
square mi16s. . . l
About a dozen years ago. when Texas
needed a new state. capitol, the legis-
lature adopted a novel plan to get it.
"A ‘PI'IOmise was held forth that a vast
tract of unappropriate‘d land would be
given in exchange for a' suitable gran-
ite building at Austin. Among those
tempted by this offer were ex-Senat-o-r
Charles B. Farwell and his brother
John, who ultimately formed a syndi-
cate in” Chicago and took upon them-
selves themesponsibility of erecting the
proposed'capitol.' Their part of the
agreement appears to have. been car-
ried out lo the satisfaction of the state,

“I crossed the ocean once with. an
