LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES
They Are Closely Observing Public
Health Conditions

An examining physician for one of
the prominent Life Insurance Compa-
nies, in an interview on the subject,
made the astonishing statement rhat
the reason why SO many applicants for
insurance are rejected is because kid
ney trouble is SO common to the Amer
lean people, and the large majority of
applicants do not even suspect that
they have the disease.
He states that judging from his own
experience and reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has probably been more successful in
relieving and curing these diseases than
any remedy known. The mild and heal
ing influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is soon realized 1t stands the
highest for its remarkable record of
cures.
We find that Swamp Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad-
wise our readers who feel in need of
such a remedy to give it trial. 1t is
on sale at all drug stores in bottles of
two -ffty-cents and one-dollar.
However, if you wish first to test the
the manufacturers will
gladly forward you a sample bottle by
mail, absolutely free. Address DR.. Kill
mer & Co., Binghamton, n Y, and men
tion this paper.

around a Washington hotel a bit ago,
He announced he was from New

DRINK PLENTY OF WATER
1t Flushes the System, Carrying Out
Impurities and Leaving What Is
Beneficial.

To say that drinking at least three
pints of water day would make 9
girl beautiful would be grossest exag.
geration, but it is perfectly true that
such an amount of fluid, taken Judi
ciously every day, will be wonderful
aid In acquiring or increasing good
looks, and it is such a cheap way of
improving ones appearance that to ig-
more it is a pity.
Water, properly taken, flushes the
system as a pipe is cleaned by putting
down 1t large quantity of pure cleans
ing liquid at once, And, as with the
pipe. impurities are carried out, leav-
ing only that which is beneficial
In order that the good effect shall
be gained, two facts are important:
One is that the liquid shall not be
taken with meals, and the other that
1t shall not be of icy temperatures. In
the former case it dilutes the gastric
juices, sometimes causing Indigestion,
and certainly neutralizing some Of the
nourishing properties of food in the
latter 1t stays digestion. and may be
the cause of severe pain.
Many dietitians now agree that wa
ter should not be taken with meals,
and that many cases of indigestion
may be traced directly to the fact that
this theory is unheeded. To derive
benefit a glassful should be taken at
a time, slipping it slowly and not gulp-
ing in large quantities. Ten minutes
for each glass is none too long. The
may be cool, but not sufi-
ciently SO to chill the stomach.
The first drink is not to be taken |
sooner than half an hour after a meal,
and water is not to be put into the
stomach later than half an hour before
a meal.
