LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES
They Are Closely Observing Public
Health Conditions.

An examining physician for one of
panies, 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 di.
sease.
He states that judging from his
own experience and reports from
druggists who are constantly in di.
rect 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. It stands the
highest for its remarkable record of
cures

HE SAW WAsHINeToNs FACE
John Lane, Who Witnessed Removal
of Body to New Tomb, Dead at 81.

Washington, Jan. John LATE,
who, when boy 10 years old, n
1888, saw the face of George Wash
ington, died this evening from para
lytic stroke sustained last Wednep-
day, when he was in his garden. Hs
celebrated his eighty-eighth birthday
on Dec. II, and until his last illness
had never been sick abed in his long
life. His mind was clear to the lash
and he talked of Henry Clay, John
Calhoun and old John Taliaferro, WHIP
was in Congress for forty years, oh
and on
Mr.. Lane was born in Richmond
Va, but came with his parents %
Washington when he was 9 Yeas
old. Lane was present when the old
tomb of Washington was replaced
by the present tomb, and the remains
of the first President were removed
to the new tomb He had to get on
the seat of a wagon and look over
the heads of the group OF men
around the tomb in order to see the
face of Washington. Lane remem-
hered with the keenness of a boy the
Roman nose. the high forehead, the
long face and snow.white mass OF
hair and said the picture was always
clear in his mind He said that
there was a dark blotch on one side
of the face caused by the air getting
into the coffin.
Mr.. Lane was once prominent
business man of washington, conduct
ing for many years a large wholesale
business in foreign fruits. In the
panic of 1873 he failed, and decided
not to try to rebuild his business
All his life he was an inveterate
smoker, and until a few weeks ago
took three toddles every day.

RAILROADS GET CLOSER
Grand Trunk and New Haven no
Farther Apart at Least.

Brattleboro, Jan. S.--Incidents that
indicate the truth of the assertion
that the New Haven and Grand
Trunk railway systems are very close
to a settlement of their Connecticut
valley controversy were of frequent
occurrence last week.
Chief Engineer A. b. Corthell of
the Boston & Maine road with sever
al of his assistants, made an automo-
bile trip over the right of way which
the company recently bought be-
tween here ard Hinsdale, ~ II. He
came here with the intention of meet
ing engineer j. NJ. Morrison of the
Central Vermont, and going over the
Brattleboro situation with him.
The fact that engineers represent.
ing the two systems are planning to
consider the Brattleboro situation in
common is considered good evidence
that the Grand Trunk and New Hay.
en- officials are no farther apart than
they have been. to say the least.

In the month of December. 1911 there were eighteen days in which the mercury slid down below the freezing point at the local observation station of the weather bureau. This breaks the record Since 1895 the greatest number Of freezing days in December had been thirteen until last months 1897

They danced in Block 4 New Years eve. It was a grand old dance. The music was never noisier or more inspiring; the eyes of the senoritas were never more sparkling; their teeth never more white. The young men were never more gallant or graceful as they threaded their way back and forth. up and down, 10 the measure of the waltz.
 All went well until the clocks boomed the midnight and the old gave way to the new. For then, you know, it became leap year. Just for fun. and to properly greet the year divisible by four someone suggested d ladies choice. Great sport. they all thought. and the youths lined mp against the wall, demure and patient; withal. un- dergoing an inward tumult for fear that the ladies of their hearts would ask some other 10 dance.

THINGS WE CANNOT AFFORD.

We cannot afford tO depend upon any one person for counsel. comfort or love, nor can We afford to do without the several friends who would give us all these if we earned them by our loyalty, writes Marguer- ite ogden Bigelow in the Craftsman.
 We cannot afford to sacrifice our cOnsciences on the altar of a neigh bOr's opinion, or our individuality at the shrine of his desires, for each of Us has but one problem whose sOlu- ton is eSential to success, one pat tern only to be wrought out with pains, and that his own.
 We cannot afford to lose the re- spect of acquaintances or to have their goodwill with their pity. Pity

is a doorway opening downward. We cannot afford to build up house of petty power on the diplomacy of broken promises, for such weak foun- dation stones will cause the whole building 10 rotter and perhaps fall. burying the inmates in the ruins.
 If we are defamed by calamities. misunderstood by those of vulgar thought. and doubted by those who are insincere, we cannot afford re- sentiment. We cannot afford any thing but compassion for those poor liars and dupes who must perish in their shame.
 If we are young we cannot afford totdo without the old whose harvest gives us the only seed we have for our own planting.
 Ii we are old we cannot afford to do without the young. who may sur yive to achieve those things for which we have vainly striven.
 We cannot afford to succeed with out making that success minister. in some way to the lives Of others. We cannot even afford tO free ourselves from debt. if doing so involves dis honor.
 We cannot afford to hide our best thoughts and feelings. for fear of ridi- cule. and express only our poorer and weaker ideas. since what We repress we weaken, and what We express we strengthen in ourselves.
 We can never afford to be less per sons than we really are:
 For while by hiding ourselves we avoid enemies and fight, so also We avoid staunch friends of true ad- hesive power, and the g'ory of vic tory.

ors. This estimate. paraphrasing the
old opera idea that 1T Takes Nine
Tailors to Make a Man." will be par
ticularly interesting TO those two-t thir-
ty-ninths OF men who make up the
major portion Of the population.
Here is the list of togs that the
arbiters say one must possess in or
der to De a member Of the smart set:
Six sack suits, four business cuta-
ways, two dress suits, two dress cut
aways, four suits of fannels, one rag
Ian suit, one Norfolk suit, two week.
end suits. one camping. one yachting,
one full dress yacht one informal
yacht, one riding frock, one riding
sack, one riding full dress. one hunt
ing. one polo, one fishing, two ten
mis-. one golf. two double breasted
frock coats. two double breasted sack
coats.
OF course, If one doesn't play golf, he
might utilize the golf suit for wear
while feeding the furnace, and the
yachting suit, for the yachtless, might
be donned while helping friend wife
with the dinner dishes. Folks that
don't care hang about fishing can get
into the fishing suit when the water
pipe breaks in the cellar, and it is
quite possible to play pinochle in a
tennis garment, providing you know
anything about the game.
Tailors are not really concerned
about the occasion for wearing ths
clothes, but they are unanimous that
nobody who is anybody can hope to
be long unless he has the entire SO
suits on tap, ready for social inspec-
tiOp.
