IS 1T AN EPIDEMICa
Vital Statistics Show An Alarming Increase
In An Already Prevailing 0isease--Are
Any Exempt

Nhy LNvWptt
At no time in the history of disease
has there been such an alarming in
crease in the number of cases Of any
particular malady as in that of kidney
and bladder troubles now preying
upon the people Of this country.
Today we see a relative, a friend or
an acquaintance apparently well. and
in a few days we may be grieved to
learn Of their serious illness or sud
den death, caused by that fatal type
of kidney trouble-Brights disease.
Kidney trouble often becomes adj
vanced into acute stages before the
afflicted Is aware of its presence; that
is why we read of so many sudden
deaths Of prominent business and pro-
fessional men, physician3 and others.
They have neglected to stop the leak
In time.
While scientists are puzzling their
brains to find out the cause, each in
dividual can, by little precaution.
avoid the chances Of contracting dread
ed and dangerous kidney trouble. or
ti"NiNH't ~ NVihpicbtiy iioIh thtii oso-
tenn if already afflicted. Many precious
lives might have been, and many more
can yet be saved, by paying attention
to the kidneys.
1t is the mission of the Daily Demo-
crat to benefit its readers at every oppor-
tunity and therefore we advise all who
have any symptoms Of kidney or blad-
der trouble to write today to DR.. Kill
mer g. Co., Binghamton, n. Y, for
free sample bottle Of Swamp Root, the
celebrated specific which is having
such a great demand and remarkable
success in the cure of the most dis
tressing kidney and bladder troubles.
With the sample bottle of Swamp Root
will also be sent free a pamphlet and
treastise of valuable information.

HAIR OF THE SLOTH.
II II Green In Color and For a Pc
culiar Reason.


1t is very curious fact that certain
plants grow and thrive on the hair of
sloths. Apart from it's extremely coarse
and brittle nature, the most striking
popularity Of the outer hair of the
sloth is its more or less decidedly green
tinge. Now, green is a very rare color
among mammals. and there ought,
therefore, to be some special reason for
its development in the sloth, and, as
matter of fact, the means by which
this coloration is produced is one Of
the most marvellous phenomena in the
whole animal kingdom, so marvellous,
indeed, that 1t is at first almost impos-
sible to believe that it is true.
The object of this peculiar type Of
coloration is. of course. to assimilate
the animal to its leafy surroundings
and thus to render 1t as inconsplcuous
as possible, and when hanging In its
usual position from the underside Of
q bough its long. coarse and green
tinged hair is stated to render the sloth
almost indistinguishable from the
punches OF gray green lichens among
which 1t dwells. In the outer sheath
of the hairs of the al there are num-
Der of transverse cracks, and in these
cracks grows primitive type Of plant
namely. q one celled alga.
And for the benefit Of nonbotanical
readers 1t may be well to mention here
that alge, among which seaweeds are
included, form group Of fowerless
plants related on the one hand to the
fungi and on the other to the lichens.
In the moist tropical forests forming
the home Of the sloths the algn in the
cracks Of their hairs grow readily and
thus communicate to the entire coat
that general green tint which. as al
ready said, is reported to render them
almost indlstinguishable from the clus-
ters of lichen among which they hang
suspended.-Knowledge.
