One in front of the residence of Mr. Pat Gorman, on Lee street, is said to hav: been especially funny. There was a “red hot” German resident on South ‘Lee street this morning when he lcoked out of his bed room window and saw a “Paddy” hanging to the tree in front of his house. “How vas dot dey tink I vas Trish?” said this proud Garman citizen. “De Irish vas good peoples, but I am Dutch as sauerkraut.” The Paddy is supposed tO have been placed there by a prominent Politician of the first ward. ‘Every one on the streets has bsen wear- ing the shamrock, and the Irish green has been the predominating color throughout the day.

Swamp-Root is the great discovery of Dr. Kil- aver, the eminent physician and specialist, and will be found just what is needed in cases of kidney and biedder disorders and Uric Acid troubles due to weak kidneys, such as catarrh of the bladder, gravel, rheumatism and Bright's Disease, which is the worst form of kidney disease. It corrects inability to hold water and promptly overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being com- pelled to go often during the day and get up many times during the night. ‘The mild and- the extraordinary effect of this great remedy is soon realized. It stands the high- est for its wonderful cures, and is dispensed by druggists in fifty-cent ‘and one-dollar bottles. universally successful is Swamp-Root in aickly curing even the most distressing cascs, that to Prove its wonderful merits you may have a sample bottle and a book of valuable infor mation, both: sent absolutely free by mafl spon receipt of three two-cent stamps to cover cost of postage on the bottle.

If the kidneys are at fault—and in almost every cese im the falling of our health they are—look well to their restoration to health and strength. They are the great filters of our body, and conse- quently the purity of the, blood is entirely de- pendent on their cleansing powers. 3 If the kidneys are not in a perfectly clean and heelthy condition the blood becomes impregnated with impurities and a decay of the kidneys soon takes place. If your desire to relieve yourself of water increases, and yon find it necessary to arise many times during sleeping hours, your kidneys are sick. As they reach a more unhealthy stage a scalding and irritation takes place as the water ficws, and pain or dull ache in the back makes you miserable. If the water, when allowed to remain uncisturbed for twenty-four hours, forms a set- tling or sediment, you are in the grasp of most serlous kidney or bladder disorder. If neglected now the disease advances until the face looks pale or sallow, puffy or dark circles un- der the eyes, “the fect swell, and sometimes the heart acts badly. a 1d Q of of ial Cash or Credit, the price remains the same.

Thoughts for Easter natural- ly bring to mind the question of new footwéar to go with the Easter costume.

We've al- ways been known for our ex- clusive footwear creations—al- ways been recognized as the leader in Washington shoe cir- cles—and for this reason you naturally look to us to display everything that’s proper and correct. You'll never be dis- appointed, either—because we shail always strive to live up to the expectations of our pa- trons. Do us the favor of looking over the Easter showing of fine footwear, won't you? A visit will be profitable to you—put you in touch with Spring's newest footwear fancies—and suggest what you most want to wear. We sell footwear—and noth- ing but footwear—for ladies, gentlemen, misses and chil- dren. All our energy and thoughts are directed upon this one subject—shoes. Cannot you readily see the advantage we enjoy over the general stores that keep a thousand and one things—and simply carry footwear as a small side line in some out-of-the-way corner? Our Special Made-To-Order Department supplies the elite of the Capital with wedding slippers and shoes. We make to order from any material de- sired—fine satin,“silk, glace kid and every new leather. A special feature is making slip- pers of the same material as the wedding gown—or to ex- actly match it. Such orders take a little longer time to fill than any other—-and we request that they be left with us at an early date, so that you may not be disappointed. B.
