JUDGE DECREES
CHILD TO AUNT
Father and Sister of Baby's
Mother to Hare Its
l'oscssion.
Judge, Walter B. DoIas VMtrdiy
handed down a memorandum of his rea
sons for denying the application which
would restore to lio possession of her
mother little Marie Kirchoff, 7 vears old.
The question of tho Ijgal possession of
the child arose after a dccre had he'n
made In a divorce suit In which William
G. Kirchoff was the man in the cae and
Mary Kirchoff and Celestine Kircho.T, who
were "lsters. were his first and second
wives respectively.
Jilge Diuglas decided the ca--e some
time ago while ill. Ftating that he would
give his reisons Liter. He states thit the
denial of a mother of the custody of h-r
child, and particularly a little girl, seems
at flryt blush abhorrent.
He does not find that the girl's mother
Is a. fit person to have the child, but he
regards that It Is for the bet Interest of
the child that she be left with her aunt,
who has raised her since she was an In
fant. Tlio Judge states that the evidence
shows no act of love for tho child on the
part of her mother, unless the filing of
the suit could be said as such. She gave
the child to her sister shortly after the
Infant's bhth, and afterward;, deeded the
child to her sister, the Judge saj'3. She
did not contribute to the child's support
or make he-r any present of clothing, rib
bon or toy. the Judge rtatccs.
On tho other hand, the Judge says, the
child's aunt hns treated the girl as her
own, and the child's happy face give evi
dence of the affection she has rteelved.

To Prove What Swamp -
Remedy, Will Do for
The St. Louis Daily
Sample Bottle Sent
Weak and unhealthy kidneys are responsible for more sickness ans
stiff Ming; than any other disease; therefore, when through neglect or
other causts kidney trouble is permitted to continue, fatal results are
sure to follow.
Your other organs may need attention but your kidneys most,
because they do most and need attention first.
If you are sick or "feel badly," begin taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, ths great kidney, liver and bladder remedy, because as soon as
your kidneys begin to get better they will help all the other organs to
health. A trial will convince 'anyone.
The jiji,i ind immediate effect of
Swamp-Root, the treat kidney and blad
der remedy, is eoon realized. It stands
the hlchest for its wondrfuI cures of th
most dltrc"lng ca"e. Swamp-Rrot will
set your whole sjstem right, and the best
proof of th .-. is a trial.
