LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES
They Are Closely Observing Public
Health Conditions

An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies. in
an interview on the subject. made the
astonishing statement that the reason
why so many applicants for insurance
are rejected is because kidney trouble is
so common to the American people. and
the large majority Of applicants do not
sven suspect that they have the disease.
He states that judging from his W
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
relic wing 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 it's remarkable record OF cures.
We find that Swamp-Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would advise
our readers who feel in need Of such q
remedy to give it a trial. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles Of two sizes
ffty-cents and one-dollar.
However. il you wish FIRST to test its
wonderful merits, send to DR.. kilmcr u

Bales Bio Sale.

"In the Hands Of the Law" w. D.
Bates entire stock of high-class mer-
chandise is being sacrifed-being sold
at prices never before heard of in the
history of merchandise selling. Ever
since the big store opened it's doors on
last Thursday morning, it has been
jammed and packed with men, women
and children, all eager to take advant-
age of the ridiculously low prices. In
anticipation of the rush several new
clerks were put on duty; but with the
extra sales force it has been difficult to
wait on the crowds.
Never before has sale of any char
acter created such a world of excite
ment, such world of enthusiasm and
widespread interest as Bates big sale
is now creating. The people are COM
ing from far and near-sOme by train,
some by automobile, some in buggies,
some in wagons. some on horseback
and thousands on foot, 80 anxious are
they to get an opportunity to save dol
lars and cents in these times when a
dollar counts for 40 much. Every dol
lor will do double duty at w. D. Bates
store. That Bates always lives up to
lis advertisements is fully verified at
the sale that is being conducted at this
popular store now. If you have not
been to this sale, you had better go
now-go quick before all of the bar
gains are gone.

to introduce the opposing candidates
and start tue battle.
The Squire made his little speech
and sat down amid great applause.
Then silence fell and everybody
looked at everybody else uneasily.
Where were the two Principals?
I knew that Uncle William was
about two miles further away than he
was the last time I thought Of him,
but where was Uncle Peter?
Presently when the TENSION became
almost unbearable Bunch Jefferson
arose and made the bluff of his life.
"Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentle
men," he began, as he took an old
letter from his coat pocket, II have
just received note from Mr.. William
Gray in which he states that an ex-
tremely important call over the long
distance telephone will detain him at
home for a few minutes. In the
meantime permit me to suggest that
the Hon. Peter Grant open the de.
bate"
Bunch sat down amid great ap.
plause and loud cries of Grant! Go
at him, Grant," filled the air.
Then saw my chance.
The Opposition had dropped its
guard and now to land jolt.
"Mr. Chairman and ladies and gen
tlemen," began when silence was re-
stored, 1--WE accept without hesitation
the excuse put forth by the Hon
William Gray's spokesman. 1 am EN-
powered to state that in Difference to
the opposing Candidates maturel
years and grayer hairs the Hon. Peter
Grant will not put in an appearance
on this platform until the Hon. Will
lam Gray is first seen and honored by
his townspeople."
A thunderous burst of applause
went up and Bunch nearly tainted.
I sent four of our committee out tt
head of Uncle Peter and explain mat
tiers, and when turned around Buncl
and some of his friends had disap
peared.
Presently the crowd began to ge

I succeeded in calming them after

that the trio had started OF hurriedly

crowd took up the chorus: Gray!
Gray! why do you stay away?"
Some of my scouts returned with
the news that no trace of Uncle Peter
could be found, and began to wonder
what would happen If the crowd call
ed upon me to produce him.
Half-past eight and no Candidates.
Quarter of nine and no Candidates.
The crowd had its kidding clothes on
by this time, and Bunch was handed
some pretty lively language, but he
was game to the finish, that boy was!
At nine o'clock the crowd had
thinned out to such an extent that the
referee got up and went home. Gabe
Malone arose to address what was
left Of the audience. but before he
served half-portion of bad grammar
somebody in the front line pointed q

After that there was nothing doing.

Old Bill Gray. who was running
against Peter Grant for Mayor of Ru.
raldene, had challenged Uncle Peter
to joint debate, and I was making
ready. Early Monday morning I had
a satisfactory interview with the Bub.
bic blower, who had come on from
New York to take charge of our new
auto for this particular occasion.
All day long the preparations for
the joint debate went forward with
enthusiasm, and everything movable
in the community threatened to be in
the public square when the gong
sounded.
1t was a cinch that the Candidate
who got stage fright, or failed to show
up at the joint debate, would get all
his when the votes were counted.
The meeting was scheduled for 8
o'clock and by 1920 the Square was
packed with partisans of both sides.
Promptly at ISIS I sent our auto
with the imported chauffeur painting
up to Uncle Williams villa, having
first assured myself that Bunch was
busy at the Square. I was Uncle
Peters manager, and Bunch Jefferson
was second for Bill Gray.
"Mr. Jefferson sent me after you,'
my agent told Uncle William.
"But where's our own conveyance?'
the old gentleman inquired, suspi
ciously.
"Mr. Jefferson has gone to get the
referee and didn't want you to be
late," the opposition candidate was
told as per arrangement.
ooh; all right" said Uncle William
climbing into the auto, and with this
the driver headed for the river road
and was of like scared rabbit.
"stop! stop: where are you going?
yelled Uncle William as they shot ou1
of town.
"Mr. Jefferson said to give you some
fresh air SOS you could handle YOU
mitts livelier when the fight started,
the Bubble tender yelled back. so hi
let out few more links and burned
over the bridges.
"Mr. Jefferson is Q jackass!" shout
ed Uncle William. "I've been doinf
nothing all day but getting fresh air
