LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES
They Are Closely Observing Public
Health Conditions

An examining physician for one Of
the prominent Life Insurance Compa-
mics, in an interview on the subject,
made the astonishing statement that
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 dv not even suspect that
they have tho 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 il soon realized. It 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 II trial. 1t Is
on sale at all drug stores in bottles Of
two sizes-ffty-cents and one-dollar.
However, if you wish first to test the
preparation, the manufacturers will

Postal Deficit Reduced.

Figures, the compilation of which
was completed at the postofice depart
ment Monday shows that the postal
deficit for the fiscal year ended June
30 last was $1,500,00O. The deficit
of the previous fiscal year was 81 $780,
600, so that in one year the deficit was
reduced $6,100,0OO.
In commenting upon the savings of
$6,100,000 last year, Postmaster Cen
eral Hitchcock said: "This tremen-
dous saving was made without curtail-
ment of the postal facilities in any di-
rection. On the contrary, there were
many important extensions.
''The department IS policy is to ex-
tend the service as rapidly as warrant
ed by increasing population and to ac-
complish its savings, not by the curtail-
ment of postal facilities, but by
handling in more systematic manner
the constantly expanding volume of
NALL
The tables indicate that more than
1,500 new postoffices were established
in the last fiscal year. Great extern
sions were made in the rural delivery
system, SIS new routes, with total
mileage of 1926, being put into opera
ton.
There were appropriated from the
civil service list over 1900 postofice
clerks to enlarge the working for
postoffices and more than 1000 ad.
ditional letter carriers. The railway
mail service was strengthened by the
appointment of about $50 new EN-
ployes.
The tables show also that the de
partment made liberal increases in
the compensation of old employees
Salaries of postoffice clerks were ad
vanced in the aggregate $1,750,0OO
while the aggregate salaries of letter
carriers were increased $1,2260O
Railway mail clerks received increases
amounting to almost $250,O0O.
Mr.. Hitchcock explained that all in
creases in compensation were based
upon a system of efficiency ratings
adopted by the department a little
more than a year ago. He says the
system has had a highly beneficial
effect on the service
"This hearty cooperation, be said
81 expect to be continued through this
and future years, with the result that
we shall have a self-sustaining posta
service and 1 cent letter postage"

THE EDITOR S SNAP
From One Publication Day to Another,
Dream

From One Publication Day to Another,
Dream"
Every once in while some cheerful
individual remarks to us; "Well, now
that the paper is out, suppose you
can take it easy for three or four
days" Yes, how delightful it is that
a country editor has nothing to do be-
tween press days. Business runs along
automatically. When paper bills come
due money drops off the trees with
which to pay them. Subscribers vie
with each other to see who can pay the
farthest in advance. Advertisers beg
for additional space. And the way
the news hunts up the editor is also
pleasant to contemplate. There is
something really strange about the way
the news items act. When the paper
is out the editor simply goes to his
desk and leans back in his easy chair
and looks wise and waits foi next
week Is press day. The day before press
day the people line up in front of the
office door and then they file past the
desk and tell him all the news of the
week. He writes it up in fifteen or
twenty minutes, takes it back and
hangs it on the hook. The compositors
take the copy and shake it over the
type cases, say few mystic words, the
type flies into place, and after a few
passes by the foreman the forms are
ready for the press again And the
editor goes down and deposits some
more money in the bank. 1t is the
greatest snap in the catalog. Now if
the editor could only do away with
press day his job would be complete.

The Month of Our Beloved Dead.

consecrated thoughts and suggestions
Of the Church pass like stars across

cause they are blind to fine things,
says the Denver Catholic Register.
Every month has it's dedication:
November's thought is the memory of
our dead. II believe in the commune
ions of Saints" says the Creed, and
the saints, the holy dead are ours. The
second day of November is, of course,
the chief day Of loving and prayerful
memory: the Church dedicates all the
month to those who are in Gods keep
ing and are not here. We who have
time and opportunity, reach out to
them through the help of our dear
Redeemer helpful hands.

, moral character l do not mean merely
ins them, being upright in virtue or
down-Wrong in vice. l mean charac-
ter in it's radical sense of life dom-
mated by principles; d sound view re-
garding duty to God, to self and to
others, and IL determined purpose Of
pursuing the right, no matter what
tail. Given this apparatus OF high
| moral principle, and the backbone ne
cessary for acting up to it, a number
of incidental defects and even a GER
tain divergence of temperament will
not greatly matter, and will not issue
in disaster. 1t will be recognized that
we cannot have everything we want,
and must be content with a part of it,
and congratulate ourselves on secur-
ing so much; that everybody must be
expected to have a certain percentage
of faults, and the only thing is to try
and reduce them as much as possible
others. IL irritation arises on one side,
it will be the first object of the other
, side to allay it by the soft answer
which turneth away wrath; to show
a desire of making amends in some
other way, and to be careful that the
cause of annoyance shall be studiously
avoided In future. In this way, partly
by the inherent goodness of human
nature, partly by the assistance of
grace, the friction of constant COM
partnership can be alleviated by moral
lubricants, and domestic life made to
! run smoothly in spite of all obstacles.
But this is an optimistic picture;
the least touch of pessimism will re-
verse it. Suppose on the contrary
that all these qualifications for sue
cess are wanting instead - faulty
bringing up, utter want of moral dis
cipline, a feeble grasp or none at all Of
duty, religious motives weak and in
effective, the spirit Of give and take,
of sclf-sacritice and benevolence un-
dreamt of-nothing but a keen desire
| to get as much enjoyment out of life
as there is in it, and an equally keen
resentment against anything which
| tends to diminish that enjoyment or
| impede it, and the resentment is ter
terrible. II we go on like this no one
except saint will never think of
marrying ut ALL Yet these are the aw-
full possibilities which lie before you

more. it does not depend on YOU alone;

Conan Doyle Replies to Parker.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle writes as
follows to the editor of the "Belfast
Evening Telegraph":
Sir-l had no intention of initiat-
ing debate in your columns, but
since my friend Sir Gilbert Parker has
made some remarks upon my letter
may perhaps be allowed a word Of
comment in turn.
/ entirely admit his proposition that
the case of Ireland is not the same as
that OF the great self-governing Col
onies. Every section of the Empire
has it's own characteristics, and /
never asserted that the same treat
ment would do for each. What I did
assert was the general principle that
local autonomy as a cure for disloy-
atty holds good in each. 1t has brought
the Boer and the French Canadian
it not bring the Celtic Irishman also?
Sir Gilbert ends his letter by say
ing: "A determined loyal Ulster in
the minority is one of the facts of the
situation" So it is. But a determined
more or less disloyal Nationalist ma
jority returning so members Is also
one of the facts OF the situation. So
is the sympathy which this National
list Party receives from the English
speaking peoples throughout the
world
1t is time to try once for all to cure
this disloyalty by the same general
treatment which has been effective
elsewhere. There is no Imperial in
terest, as it seems to me, so urgent
as this one, and If it can be accom-
plished it will give us an additional
strength which could not be express
ed in terms of battleships. If the
North will but help this great venture
then when Armageddon comes we
shall all be one people whole hearted
under one flag.
Yours faithfully,
ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE.
