A Historical Month-
This is one of the historical months
in the American calender. In it were
fought the battles of Saratoga and
Germantown. The former is one of
the fifteen decisive battles of history
and so classed by all historians. It
was after the battle of Saratoga that
France acknowledged the independ
ence of the United States. Teachers
of our public schools should call
especial attention to these facts.
There were stirring times in these
colonies six score years ago.

OUil CF TWO WAYS.
The bladder was created for one
purpose, namely, a receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one of
two ways. The first way is from im
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local treat
ment cf other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or diseases, except in rare
cases. It is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani
fested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often, by mistake,
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set
your urine aside for twenty four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and ex
traordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, and
bladder remedy, is soon realized. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. At druggists fifty tents and
one dollar. You may have a sample
bottle and pamphlet, both sent free
by mail. Mention The Columbian

The jury in the case of Walter
Goodwin, at V.'e'lsboro, Pa., charged
with the murder of his wife reached a
verdict of murder in the first degree,
after being out for three hours and a
quarter. The prisoner was very nervy
up to the last, never showing any
signs of flinching when the verdict was
read. The trial began September 28.
The story of the crime for which
Goodwin will have to die is as follows:
"A little over a year ago Goodwin
was arrested on complaint of a Miss
Copcly, vho charged him with being
responsible for her condition. He
married her and took her to his father's
home to live. A child was born, but
the mother was not allowed to see it,
and it is alleged she told her friends
that it was foully dealt with.
Soon after this the young man de
serted his tfife. She worked in Mans
field, a few miles from Wellsboro, and
at last had her husband arrested for
non-support. Goodwin went on the
night of September 3 to see his wife
and induce her to withdraw the charge.
She told the family with whom she
lived that she was to meet her hus
band, and went out. The following
day she was found dying by the road
side with four bullets in her head.
She died the next day.
A Miss Taylor, with whom Good
win had been friendly, confessed to
the officials that she accompanied
Goodwin the night of the tragedy and
held his horse some distance away,
but near enough to hear shots fired.
Miss Taylor savs Goodwin subse
quently told her that he had shot . his
wife.

Regulating tha Sale of Cheese.
The law passed by the last state
legislature, and which went into effect
on August 23, regulating the scale of
certain kinds of cheese, known as fill
ed cheese, may cause trouble unlgss
j .1 1 11
grocers ana omers wno sell it are
careful. Some time ago fifteen sam
ples were selected in as many grocery
stores in Harrisburg, but of these only
six were labeled according to law.
Every seller who does not comply
with the law is subject to a fine. The
standard required for full cream
cheese is thirty-two percent, of butter
fat. Only two of the fifteen samples
came up to that test. There is no
disposition on the part of the agricul
tural department to prosecute or un
necessarily harass dealers, but it is
sending out these notes of warning
that they may guard themselves
against the neglect or the frauds of
the manufacturers.
