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 subject,
made the astonishing statement that
one 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
those whose applications are declined
do not even suspect that they have the
disease.
According to this it would seem that
medicine for the kidneys, possessing
real healing and curative properties,
would be blessing to thousands.
DR.. Kilmer G. Co., Binghamton, N.
Y, who prepare DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the we'll known kidney, liver and
bladder remedy, claim that judging
from evidence received from druggists
everywhere who are constantly in
touch with their customers, and also
indisputable proof in the form Of
grateful testimonial letters from
thousands of reliable citizens, this
preparation is remarkably SUGGEST il
in sickness caused by kidney and
bladder troubles. Every interesting
statement they receive regarding
Swamp-Root is investigated and no
testimonial is published unless the
party who sends it is reported of good
character. They have on file many
sworn statements of recoveries in the
most distressing cases. They state
that DR.. Kilmers Swamp-Root is mild
and gentle in its action and its healing
influence is soon noticed in most
cases.
Swamp-Root is purely an herbal
compound and DR.. Ki1mer & Co. ad-
wise all readers who feel in need OF
! such remedy to give it trial. 1t is
on sale at all drug stores in bottles Of
two sizes-50c and $10O. However,

preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kill
mer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for =

IF BACK HURTS

Flush Your Kidneys Occasionally ii
You Eat Meat Regularly.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says 4
we'll known authority. Meat forms uric
acid which clogs the kidney pores 80
they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from the
blood, then you get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble
nervousness, constipation, dizziness,
sleeplessness, bladder disorders, come
from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache il
the kidneys or your back hurts, or If
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full Of
sediment, irregular of passage, Or at
tended by sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts fro,l
any reliable pharmacy and take tab
lespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This fam
Gus salts is made from the acid OF
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used foc
generation to flush clogged kidneys AMI
stimulate them to activity, also 10
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes delightful effer-
vescent lithia-water drink which all
regular meat eaters should take nov
and then to keep the kidneys clean
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding

GEORGIA HUNTERS
NOT OBEY|NG LAW

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 15.-Georgians
who are fond of squirrel meat and who
also enjoy getting up before dawn and
picking the frisky game from the trees
with a rife are deploring the fact that
the fox squirrel is disappearing from
the forests.
The legislature has made it misde
meanor to kill fox squirrel at any
season and true sportsmen are willing.
to wait a few years and give them a.
chance to replenish the supply. But
there have been many violations of the.
law and many complaints to the game
commissioner at the capitol.

DATE Of STATE
ELECTION HAS
BEEN CHANGED

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 15.-Georgia farm
ers and other busy folk have cause to
thank the last legislature for one good
law at least-that changing the date
of the official election, which becomes
effective this year.
Under the old law the election for
governor and other state officials
would come early in October, but for
years this election, following the Dem
ocrauc primary, has been purely a
Formally and useless expense.
Under the new law this election will
be held on the first Monday after the
first Tuesday November, on the
safe date as the national election for
Congressman, so that the voters will
be called out but once.

Throwing Stones at Cars.

The throwing of rocks through q
moving electric car is getting to be
a serious matter and is likely to be
taken in hand by the company since
the experience of Conductor E. g.
Holbrook, who runs on the line from
Lewiston to Gardiner. Tuesday even
ing when his car reached the bridge
just this side of Sabatis village a rock
was flung through one of the windows
with such force as to cut almost a
round hole The rock was nearly as
large as hens egg and struck the
window where Mrs. Emma Young of
1sA Main street, Auburn, was sitting.
The pieces of glass few in all direc-
tons but fortunately none of them
struck her face. Had this been the
case she might have been seriously in
jured. 1t is understood that there Is
a gang of boys at that place who have
but little regard for law and order and
it would seem that now would be the
time to put a stop to this kind of busi-
ness. AS the exact spot from where
the rock was thrown is well known it
would seem to be an easy matter to
locate the culprit and make him suffer
the penalty for his malicious mischief.
Passengers have right to be exempt
from such danger and the company
should act.-Lewiston Journal
Even children breathe the atmos-
phere of a community that does not
desire the enforcement of laws which
interfere with personal liberty"
Children and feeble minded can hardly
be expected to draw the line between
crimes that are Knocked at by social
traditions and those that are not.
When Androscoggin county turned
down Sheriff Ferd Stevens 1t gave
a degree of encouragement to such as
the Sabatis' incident. But as our ex-
change says, it is matter demanding
prompt and determined prosecution by
the company.

recommendations. Here are the
needs in tabloid form:
Laws to control railway capitalization.

cars.
Definite penalties for violations of the
hours of service act. sit.s'

A Holy War.

While in the distracted East the

issued here in our peaceful Western
world. We too wage Holy War, but
1t is against the powers OF darkness,
against disease, suffering and misery
The White Plague must be stamped
out. and all over our country the Red
Cross warriors are gathering to the
fight. In Milwaukee, a knight in full
armor, the scarlet crosses cleaning on
shield and banner, is riding daily
through the streets advertising that
the battle was on, and calling on the
community to help by buying the
Christmas Seals.
Here in Gardiner, as in thousand
other cities and towns, scholars and
teachers, merchants and traders, are
taking up the cry, Down with Tu-
berculosis!' Those who are not SELL
ing seals ae buying them; many peo-
pie are doing both. Remember, the
pretty little seals which, bought for a
penny, brighten our Christmas letters
and packages, are so many tiny bull
lets shot at the common enemy.
Every bullet hits,
Let us lay in a coodly store of them,
and help the world on its way to
health and happiness!
