" Thousands upon thousands of
women have kidney or bladder
trouble and never suspect It
, Women's complaints often prove
to be nothing else but kidney trou
ble, or the result of kidney or blad
der disease.
, If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other
organs to become diseased.
Tou may suffer pain in, the back,
headache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous.
Irritable and may be despondent; it
makes any one so.
But hundreds of women claim that
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by re
storing health to the kidneys,
proved to be just the remedy needed
to overcome such conditions.

By Nebraska Men
J. E. Haarmann, president , of the
newly-organized Nebraska - Clay
Products company, and Z. Wirt, su
perintendent of construction for the
company, have just returned from a

000 fire brick to be used in con
struction of the new kilns,, and ma
chinery to equip the immense new
Nebraska Clay, Products plant to be
built this spring atTekamah.
"We found brick and tile plants
with orders booked ahead for a
year," said Mr. Haarmann. "All of
them are swamped with business,
and most of the executives to whom
we talked said they were pleased to
know that Nebraska is, at last, to
develop her clay resources."
"Labor conditions generally are
good, and construction 'is booming
everywhere," Mr. Wirt said. He
added that shortage of cars and the
"flu" seemed to be the only factors
retarding the greatest business year
in history.
