WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP-ROOT
For many years druggists havo watched
with much interest the romarkable record
Maintained by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
the great money, liver and bladder medi
cine. It is a physician' prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medl
cine. It helps tho kidneys, liver and bhd
dcr do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of Tears.
It is sold by nil druggists on its merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has so nicny friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.

Several Ways to Make Sugar.
"Analyzing food we learn that tho
three chief components are sugar, fats
and protein. Until recently it wns Im
possible to manufacture sugar syn
thetically, but now we hnve solved the
riddle In several different wnys. Iron
rust exposed to the prismatic rays of
the sun through water makes for
maldehyde, since the rays of the sur
acting upon the rust ns a contact
agent, mixed with the carbon dioxide
of tho air and wnter makes this power-
ful chemical. From formaldehyde cer
tnln forms of sugnr may be obtained
Other Ways of making sugar syn
theticnlly are through the employment
of ultra-violet rays, radium and elec
tricity. "Part of our research work at liar
yard's botanical laboratory has beer
to observe the process by which the
plant transforms the carbon dloxltk
gns and water together Into sugar, and
later Into starch, either of which form
can be preserved.
"So much lor obtaining sugar. Pro
teln Is composed of amino acids. It
has been found possible In the labora
tory to take the carbon dioxide of the
air, water and nmmonln, which Is nlsc
found In the ulr in small quantities, tc
form a simple kind of protein. Now
through the combination of sugnr and
protein, both of which have been man
ufnetured In the laboratory, the neces
sary fat Is obtained, with the resultant
nutritious food.
The Great Obstacle.
"Of course one of the greatest ob
stacles standing In the way of the pro
duction of food through this method
Is In the present cost of making sugar
which can only be manufactured ns
yet In small qunntltlos. Our greatest
competitor In this Important field If
the plant Itself, which tints far under
sells the synthetic method."

A now method qf using the wind In
snnd-rond construction has proved so
successful, that, after making a nine
mile experimental stretch In New Mex
ico, rondmnkcrs in that state have
built 80 miles of similar highways.
First of all, tho grass und weeds are
cleared from tho right of way, and
then a trench is mnde through the
sand to the clny bottom. The loose
snnd is deposited in stacks ten feet
from either side of the cut, nnd the
rest of tho work Is left to tho desert
winds. During the spring nnd fall, the
winds sweep away all the sand and
widen the clny strip. Then the rond is
graded and the work finished.
