Lloyd-George Talks for Peace.
London, July 29. Addressing a
meeting at Queen's hall Tuesday night
ia connection with the peace confer
ence, David Lloyd-George, chancellor
of the exchequer, dealt at considerable
length with the scare rumors concern
ing the relations between Great Bri
tain and Germany. He said that both
countries appeared to be afraid of each
other, but that nine-tenths of the
trouble arose out of misunderstanding
each other's motives.
It could not be wondered, the chan
cellor continued, that Germany was
nervous at alliances and understand
ings concluded abroad, when her posi
tion between two powerful military
nations was considered.
"It is deplorable," said the chancel
lor, "that two great and progressive
communities like Germany and Great
Britain should not be able to establish
a good understaanding. such as we
hare concluded with France, Russia
and the United States. We are spend
ing each year 60,000,000 sterling pre
paring for war. which is a stupendous
waste. Let us cast aside European
mistrust, quarrels and feuds and unite
in redeeming humanity from the quag
mire where millions are sunk in mis
ery through intemperance, ignorance
and crime."

Often The Kidneys Are
Weakened by Over-Work.
Unhealthy Kidneys Hake Impure Blood.
It used to be considered that only
urinary and bladder troubles were to be
traced to the kidneys,
but now modern
science proves that
nearly all diseases

in the disorder of
these most important
organs.
The kidneys filter
and purify the blood
that is their work.
Therefore, when your kidneys are weak
or out of order, von can understand how
quickly your entire body is affected and
how everv organ seems to tail to do its
dutv.
If vou are sick or " feel badly," begin
taking the great kidney remedy, Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon
as your kidneys are well they will help
all the other organs to health. A trial
will convince anvone.
If you are sick you can make no mis
take bv first doctoring vour kidneys.
The mild and the extraordinary effect of
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-KOOt, the great
kidney remedy, is soon realized. It

had a peculiar but serious accident at

caused him to knock over two or three
more hives. The whole bunch started
out after him to put him to the woods
and chased man, mower and horses
round and round the house stinging man
and horses whenever they could catch
up by some short cut. Mr. Foreman
believes that the large number of stings
that he got are partly due to his catch
ing up the rear end3 of the many bees
who were on his trail but several laps
behind. Finally he ran into a tree and
broke out the tongue of his mower,
later one of the horses threw himself
and Albert unhitched them and run them

them from the buggy. Mr. Stroemer
was near the scene of the accident
loading a car of live-stock and he im
mediately went to the boy's assistance,
finding him terrible injured hi3 leg was
broken and the bone above the knee
run into the ground and his body ter
ribly bruised in many places. Miss
Ella was dragged under the buggy and
had her head badly cut and her wrist
and thumb injured. Hurried call was

Elmwood, and Talcott of Greenwood
sent for to assist him.
The broken bone was set during the
night and he was taken to the Shoe
maker hospital in Lincoln the next even
