' "Grief, sympathy, indignation, all of them sincere and overflowing these are the emotions which bind us to gether today.

"We shall be only the more eager to prove by our steadiness, our calmness, our determination, that we are ready to meet the calls which at this solemn time our country makes upon us. These men and women and children whose loss we are assembled here this morn ing to mourn will not have died in vain. Their death brings to us in this country at a time when perhaps we have some need of it a quick, vivid sense of the dread realities of war, not in order that they should alarm us, but in order that they should prepare us to steel our hearts for the Inevitable sacrifices which a great war aemanus.

GREAT KIDNEY REMEDY SAVED TWO - CHILDREN IN ONE FAMILY About one year ago two of my chil dren suffered badly from weak kio neys. They would have severe spells of dizziness and were all run down in health. I was just about discouraged. I tried several remedies and finally a doctor, but they did not seem to lm nrove. I knew of a friend who was taking Swamp-Root for kidney trouble with good results and i oeciaea to get some for the children. I had noticed that there was some improvement after they had taken two large bottles and continued to give it to them until tney had taken one-half dozen bottles and were well on the road to recovery. I think Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root has done more for my children than any other medicine I have tried and recom ment it to anyone having children that suffer as mine did. Very truly yours. . R. W.
