LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANIES
They Are Cl0selV Observing Public
Health Conditions

An examining physician for one of
the prominent Life Insurance Com
panies, 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 ma or-
ity 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 prepara-
ton 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
meriS Swamp Root is soon realized 1t
stands the highest for its remarkable
record for cures.
We find that Swamp Root is strict
ly an herbal compound and we would
advise our readers who feel in need of
such a remedy to give it a trial. It il

morning, according, to Information
here, and the river may go to Sc feet.
This morning a request was made of
the secretary of war for the use of
three or four barges which are now
lying at GRANVILLE in which to house
the 1000 state troops now on duty at
Cairo.
Adjutant General Dickson received
message from Sandusly, Alexander
county. stating that the town was fill
ing with refugees. and asking for state
assistance.
Ten thousand bags to be filled with
sand for use in strengthening the levee
are to be sent from St. Louis by ex-

SUPPLY OF FOOD OVER
ESTIMATED AT DAYTON

Dayton. o.. April 1.-The food sup
ply in Dayton has been over estimated
according to reports received today
from relief stations scattered over the
city. This morning John Fl. Patterson,
president of the relief committee wired
Secretary of War Garrison that the
food situation was much worse than
had been anticipated and that the
committee would look to the national
government for supplies.
1t is estimated that between $4,000
and 10000 refugees are being fed
daily. Provisions must be received in
the stricken city before tomorrow or
suffering will follow, officials say.
Aside from the imminent danger of a
food shortage, cash is in great demand
Checks for large sums are in the hands
of the relief committee but they are
practically worthless because cash is
not available.
