The pale, sallow, sunken-checked, distressed-looking people you so often meet are afflicted with “Kidney Com- plexion.” , Their kidneys are turning to a pars- nip color. So is their complex1on. They may also have indigestion, or suffer from sleeplessness, rheumatism, neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous ex- haustion, and sometimes the heart acts badly. ‘ The cause is weak, unhealthy kid- eys. Usually the sufferer from kidney disease does not find out what the trouble is until it is almost too late, be- cause the first symptoms are so like mild sickness that they'do not think they:need a medicine or a doctor until theyfind themselves sick in bed. Dr. Kilmer’s SwampRoot will build up and strengthen their weak and dis- eased kidneys, purify their diseased, kidney-poisoned blood; clear their com- plexion and soon they will enjoy better health. You can get the regular sizes at the drug store, at fifty cents and-one dol- lar, or you may first prove for yourself the wonderful virtues of this great dis- covery, Swamp-Root, by sending your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingham- ton, N. Y., for a sample bottle and a. book that tellsml'l about it, both sent to you absolutely free by Juan. ‘When’ writingkindly mentiou what on read thin liberal ofier in THE .RWALK ' The Old wen» Hook 5 Ladder Co. will hold ardeeting May 8th.

' 0-.»— THE SCOTCH RUSHLIGHT. 14: the Days of the Candle Tax It Was Manic wt Night-in the Great- emt Secrecy. llomc~manuinetured rushlighfs and candles were in constant use by the Scotch peasantry. says Good Words. )Ciil-‘(i animal fat guy: the rrqnfrcdlal- ‘ low. and 1 he mme ,k‘jl't'l‘l‘. rushes as were used for crnlsie wick supplied it also in this case. In making rushlights a}! the green coating of th 65:: rushes was stripped off; but for candle wick a thin strip waslei't on either side of the pith to strengthen and support it. Otherwise the manu- facture of these two lights was very similar. This substance from the rushes, when dried, was tied to a rod, then dipped. into the boiling fat and al- lowed to cool, and this process was re- peated until the rushlight, or candle, had become the desired thickness. later years candles were made ininolds. The tape was passed through a hole in the center of the mold and knotted to prevent it slipping. The fat was then poured in and allowed to cool. These molds, during the days of the candle fax, were jealously guarded by the owners, and hidden in the most. secret corners from the prying eyes of the exciseman. The candles were usu— .zllly made at night in some outhouse, and» watchers were posted zit-convenient corners to give Itimely warning of any approach of the ubiquitous officer. Working Night and Day.
