Life Insurance Companies
They Are Closely Observing
Public Health Conditions.

An examining physician for one OF
the prominent Life Insurance Compan-
les. in an interview on the sub
iect, made the astonishing statement
that the reason why so many appli-
cants for insurance are rejected is
because kidney trouble is so common
to the American 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 I'm direct touch
with the public, there is one prepara-
tion that has probably been more sue
cessful in relieving and curing these
diseases than any remedy known. The
mild and healing influence OF DR.. Kill
mers Swamp Root Is soon realized. II
stands the highest for its remarkable
record of cures.
We find that Swamp-Root is strict
ly an herbal compound and we would
advise our readers who feel I'm need OF
such a remedy to give il a trial. It is
on sale at all drug stores I'm bottles Of
two sizes-fifty-cents and one-dollar.
However, If you wish first TO test its
wonderful merits, send to DR.. Kilmer
G. Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a sample
bottle, absolutely free. When writing
be sure and mention the Wilmington

GARDEN SEED TESTING.
n Is ImPertant 70 Know corminatine
Qualities Of Stock.


AS rule, American gardeners pay
very little attention TO seed testing.
depending mostly upon the seeds they
buy as being strong and fresh. How
ever, very often considerable quaint
ties of seed are carried over from one
season TO another, and these are OF
more value than any new supplies. be-
cause we have proved them by actual
cropping on our land and under our
conditions. Hence It is very impor-
tant to know the terminating qualities
of such stock to avoid losses or delays.
There are several methods of seed
testing In common use 0lacing seeds
between layers Of moist Cloth, sowing
In sand and sowing into ground Each
has its proper place and time. How
ever, unless test IS carefully carried
out It is worthless. Thus the opera
tor must know the degree OF heat aud
amount OF moisture most suitable. The
same Treatment win not do for all.
We must try. TO get as near as possible
at natural conditions
We must consider the season. Some
seeds are very difficult 70 sprout in
winter. and the nearer we approach
their natural sprouting season the bet
ter the test while others again refuse
10 sprout in great heat. such as the
summer months Thus we see a test
made ont Of season may prove entirely
worthless or. worse than that very
misleading.
During the winter months the sand
test is the best, as seeds sprout more
readily in clean sand than in moist
earth. and the sand gives enough root
action to allow us to judge Of the
strength Of the young plants, which
| the moist cloth test does not permit
The depth at which seeds should be
tested must be decided upon according
to season. Thus in the dark winter
months very little covering is permls-
sible. while later on more covering Is
needed to allow for higher tempera-
lures and rapid evaporntion.-Gar
