Iking an old ve'Tan of tho Civil War, a little eipoouro or cold settles on my kidneys, and then I am laid up with kidney or bladder trouble. Yooi bwamp-Root was recommended to mo a number of years ngo, and I took a number of bottles of it and was more than pleased with the results. I consider Swamp-Root the greatest and best kidney medicine on tho market, and It never fails to give quick remits in kidney trouble, bladder troublo and lamo back. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Hoot has dono me to much good that I feel if any words of initio will be the means of relieving any poor sufferers that you are at liberty to use this letter as you sco Jit.

Tho reporters saw tho gun shoot, but they wero not per mitted to sco that part ot tho gun out of which which tho llttlo steel bul lets camo with bucIi rapidity. A Swiss named Dangertor was In troduced ns tho Inventor. In order that tho secret should bo maintained, that pnrt of ho mcchanUm that It Is snld causes tho rapid shooting was covered with oilcloth. Only tho motor that operates tho gun and tho llttlo buckctllko receptacles Into which the bullets nro poured by tho quart were vlslblo to tho reporters. There wero targets mado of a series of big bonrds nrrangod In box fashion, each plank about a foot behind tho one In front of It. Thero vyora four boards In each target. When tho bullets started to fly, they riddled tho target into n pile of splinters a foot high, aud they did it In Iobs than n West Pointers Inflict a EST POINT, N. Y. To tho aver ago man who doesn't rub up much with army officers the Wtst Point "si lence," which has been Inflicted on Capt. Hufus E. l.ongan, instructor In tnctlcs hero, Is a eood deal of a mys tery. Most pcoplo understand that n "silence" Is a refusnl of the cadets to talk In tho presoneo of tho offending Instructor or ofllclal, but that is about as far as their Information goes. A 'sllcnco" Is a well organized pro" test on tho part of tho students of tho Military academy against somo net of ono In authority. It may oven bo an expression ot general dislike, as seems to bo tho case In tho ignoring of Captain Longnn, who had only recent ly been assigned from the Eloventh Infantry to do duty nt tho academy. How it originated no ono knows, but It ha3 been practised at tho military school fo many years, and In several cases has bren effective In causing Texas City Runs Yrr (HE D0E3TT HELP.

It marks tho beginning of a now era in munici pal ownership of Industries that di rectly concern tho welfaro of tho peo ple. It Is said that tho idea is practical for all cities and that St would work to particular advantage in towns of 10, 000 to 100,000 population.

In Paris, with an estimated popula tion of 16,000, tho municipal sanitary department found It very difficult to supcrvlso tho several separato slaugh ter houses maintained by tho butchors. n Drinking Cup Sediment Kills a Pig CHICAGO Public drinking cups aro dangerous. They aro excellent mediums for transmitting tho germs of disease. Especially Is this truo in public and parochial schols, whero u largo number of children aro com pelled to usotho srtmo cups, according to tho health bureau. Statistics show about ono person In sixty has tuberculosis, and among school children Micro always aro thoso who havo somo ot tho commun icable diseases In light form, und theso undoubtedly aro communicated by tho uso of tho common cup, So fully is this understood that sev eral statos havo passed laws abol ishing tho public drinking cup, aud compelling railroads and public car riers to supply individual ones. Tho Bullets an Hour minute. All in nil, It was estimated that no less than 15,000 bullets pierced tho target. Tho reporters woro permitted thon to enter tho gunroom, Thoy saw a motor from tho wheel ot which n belt was operated. Tho belt connected tho motor with another wheel which "waH a part ot tho mechanism on tho top of which was tho oilcloth covered weapon out ot which tho bullets camo. They also saw tho llttlo buckets, on either oldo of tho gun, Into which tho bullets nro poured as they aro need ed. Tho roportors asked to see tho gun In operation. Mr. Bnngorter or dered another target nwung Into posi tion. Thoro was anothor whirl and n, second storm of bullous struck the tar get. Tho fusillade lasted about ton seconds. Again was tho targot de molished. But Mr. Bangcrtor ami his nsso clatos roftiEod to say anything nbout what was undor tho oilcloth la tho llttlo gunroom. Thoy did glvo out'n typowrllton statement, howovcr, say ing that ono ot those guns "could faco an army of thirty rcglmonts of sol diers or 30,000 men, and could mow down that entire body of men aB easy as a knlfo cuts tho gross. Thoro is no earthly possibility for any army to successfully fnco tho flro from n gun of this kind which pours n vorltablo hailstorm of bullets into tho attack ing forces, who must olthor sacrlflco tholr lives or turn In retreat." 'Sil ence tho removal of ofllcors who havo ceased to bo useful becausn of their goneral unpopularity. Tho "sllonco" Is most offoctlvo In the mess hall, and it Is horo that It Is nlmost Invariably "sprung." While dlsclpllno Is relaxed nt mess, neverthe less tho ctlquotto Is strict. A cadet captain, by vlrtuo of his corps rank, is superintendent of tho mess. At tho head of enck- tablo sits n mumbor of tho first class tho graduating class. Every prlvato of tho first class Is an assistant of tho mess hall under tho cadot "captain, and tho tables taka their cuo from his conduct at all times. Tables do not ply knlfo and fork until tho first class man gives silent per mission. When It 1b agreed to Inflict "sllonco" on an ofllccr, no ono looks nt him ns ho appears In tho mess hall, Tho first class men nt tho heads of tha tables fold their arms and look straight ahead. Tho second, third and fourth class men Imllato tho attl tudc. Thero la absoluto sllonco, not n sound or n movement being mado to break tho stillness. Tho extreme penalty provldod by law for this degree of Insubordination Is dismissal from tho academy. Ex tremes measures, however, nro resort ed to only in unusunl cases.
