THE AMERICAN BEE KEEPER. 



September 



An Old Fashioned Journalist. 



Harmon D. Wilson, who learned his 

 letters from the Troy Chief, has written 

 a two column article on Sol Miller for 

 the Atchison Globe, in which he relates 

 many interesting little reminiscences 

 of the old fellow. Sol would never trust 

 anybody else to make up the forms of 

 his paper, and he never permitted any- 

 body under iiiiy circumstances to touch 

 the forms w!)ich contained the mailing 

 list. For 40 years he put on an old 

 apron each week and worked over the 

 imposing stones on issue day. 



"When The Chief went to press," 

 says Mr. Wilson, "the whistle was 

 blown. That was the signal for all who 

 wished to come and get their papers. 

 Most of those in hearing came. As they 

 took their papers from a folded pile 

 which always stood in a certain place, 

 they wrote their names on a sheet hung 

 there for that purpose." — Kansas City 

 Journal.

It is Gasji to Tell. 



People who fail to look after their 

 health are like the carpenter who neglects 

 to sharpen his tools. People are not apt 

 to get anxious about their health soon en- 

 ong:ii. If j'ou are "not quite well" or "half 

 sick" have you ever thought that your 

 kidneys may be the cause of your sickness? 



It is easy to tell by setting aside your 

 urin for twenty-four hours; a sediment 

 or settling indicates an nuhealthy condi" 

 tion of the kidneys. When urin stains 

 linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too 

 frequent desire to urinate, scanty supply, 

 pain or dull ache in the back is also 

 convincing proof that the kidneys and 

 bladder are out of order. 



There is satlfaction in knowing that the 

 great remedy Dr Kilmer's Swamp-Root, 

 fuBlls ever wish in relieving weak or 

 disesed kidneys and all forms of bladder 

 and urinary troubles. Not only does 

 Swamp-Root give new life and activity to 

 the kidneys — 'he cause of trouble, but by 

 treating the kidnys it acts as a tonic for 

 the entire constitution. If you need a 

 medicine take Swamp-Root — it cures. 

 Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and 

 one dallar, or by sending your address and 

 the name of this paper to Dr Kilmer & Co., 

 Binghamton, N.Y. you may have a 

 sample bottle of this great discovery 

 sent to you free by mail.
