What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT
TO INSURE HEALTH.
Few people realize to what extent j
their health depends upon the condi- '
tion of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of j
serious illness, makes "a chemical an-j
ulysis of the patient's urine. He knows !
that unless the kidneys are doing their j
work properly, the other organs can- '
not readily be brought back to health
ami strength.
When the kidneys are neglected
or abused in any way, serious re- J
suits are sure to follow. According
to health statistics, Bright's Disease,
which is really an advanced form of
kidney trouble, caused nearly ten
thousand deaths in one year, in the
State of New York alone. Therefore, <
it i£ particularly necessary to pay i
more attention to the health of these !
important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has i
had remarkable success as a kidney I
remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, j
the great kidney, liver and bladder;
remedy.
The mild and healing influence of \
this preparation, in most cases, is j
soon realized, according to sworn '
statements and verified testimony of
those who have used the remedy.
When your kidneys require atten
tion, get Swamp-Root at once from
any pharmacy. It is sold by every
druggist in bottles of two sizes—soc
and SI.OO.
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Blnghamton,
N. Y„ for a sample bottle. When writ
ing be sure and mention the Harris
burg Daily Telegraph.

I ."LOVEPAPOOSE" JO TA KE CUPID'S
' '" ———
ANGEL PE COP A - DIE TZ _ ESTHER j)URDY
BBBBBBBBBBi "lqve papoose"
Carlisle, Pa.. Feb. 23.—A now ch araeter has been Introduced under an entirely new name into love lore,
and Cupid will have to do some tall hustling if the designs of two Carlisle women are carried to their proper
conclusion, and the "Love Papoose" enshrines its chubbuy and diminutive personality in tho hearts of the love
lorn.
The "Love Papoose," with its heart-tipped Vtrrow, two head feathers and G string, tho latter done in style of
decoration peculiar to tho various Indian tribes, is the product of the imaginations of Angel de Cora-Dietz, the
famous Winnebago Indian artist who scratches off "l.ove Papooses" in all sorts of poses at lightning-like speed,
and Esther Kooken Purdy, a local business woman, who has introduced the "Love l'apoose" through her rhymes.
Mine Fatalities for Year
Are Far Under Record
Washington, Feb. 23.—Fewer men
were killed in American mines acci
dents in 1910 than in any one of the
previous nine years, despite the fact
that the year just closed was the busi
est and most prosperous in the his
tory of coal mining, with the great
est tonnage ever taken from the earth
and more men employed in the in
dustry than ever before. There was an
army of more than 750,000 toilers en
gaged 1n this industry during the year.
Announcement to this effect was made
by Yun It. Manning, director of the
United States Bureau of Mines. Facts
standing out in the information just
collated by Director Manning were:
"The number of men killed was 2,-
225, which is forty-four less than in
1915 and 229 less than in 1914 and
560 less than in 1913. There were
65,000.000 more tons of coal mined
aud there were more men employed
than in 1915. The death rate for each
1,000 men employed—3.o3—is the
lowest in the last eighteen years, at
which time about half as many men
were employed.
"There were 269,000 tons of coal
mined for each life lost, which is the
greatest tonnage per fatality in the
history of the United States. The in
crease in tonnage for each life lost is
nearly 35,000 tons over the year 1915."
