DOCTORS Will
WATCH FRESHMEN

Cambridge, Mass, Sept. Harvard
freshmen of the future will submit to
a periodic examination by physician,
beginning with this college year. Pres
ident Lowell, who believes that the
entering students should be we'll cared
for, has evolved a plan whereby all
the freshmen, who live in their special
dormitories on the banks of the
Charles river, shall be under the
watchful eyes of a doctor. The Har-
ward authorities hope by this means
to eliminate the possibility of having
insufficiently nourished students. The
freshmen will be required to eat their
meals in their own dormitories, and
physicians will also advise the boys on
the best way to maintain their physical
health.

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
ncy trouble is so common to the Amer
lean Ieople, 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
a medicine for the kidneys, possessing
real healing and curative properties,
would be a blessing to thousands.
DR.. Kilmer & 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 manv
sworn statements of recoveries in the
most distressing cases. They state
that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is mild
and gentle in its action and its healing
influence is soon noticed in mos,
cases.

compound and DR.. Kilmer &; Co. adj
wise all readers who feel in need of
such a remedy to give it a trial. It is

The Georgia Chamber of Commerce
has been engaged for months in a
campaign for the production of more
foodstuffs and feedstuffs in Georgia.
At this conference, the work of organ
izing Georgia will be perfected, and
the delegates from neighboring states
will prepare plans for systematic work
in their own states to be initiated on
their return home.
Only by energetic and comprehensive
efforts can the South be prevented
from feeling much of the privation US
ually incident to an actual state OF
war; but it is confidently believed that
the result Of this conference will be
an increase of foodstuffs and feedstuffs
in the South that will prevent all &C
tual want and probably turn threaten
ed disaster into a blessing.

The officials of villages in Lorraine

greeted them as saviors. No sooner

Outlook Not Encouraging.

Information, considered reliable, has
reached here that the kaiser has issued
orders that any man caught by his
troops in the field with a camera shall
be shot. Similar information has been
received about orders issued by the
French. Should these reports prove
correct, in substance, the prospects of
making Photographic record of the
great war are distinctly discouraging.
Still, the war photographers have not
given up hope. Tactful persistence
has worked wonders before, and il
may accomplish results again before
this war has advanced far. AS soon
as developments showed that war was
inevitable, many American photo
graphers hurried to England to see
what could be done in the matter of
war pictures. In all of the capitals
these picture men are now awaiting,
bringing to bear all the influence pos
sible to obtain permission to go with
the armies and ready to seize any
chance, take any risk, to get pictures
of the real fighting.

Some of the best newspaper and
magazine photographers of America
are now in Europe, and it is certain
that if there be a slight opportunity
they will make pictures. In the first
heat of mobilization photographs were
made everywhere, and these have been
coming to the United States by every
ship.
So far as moving pictures are con-
cerned, no American company has yet
proposed a partnership arrangement
with the kaiser for a series of war
movies. There seems to be a feeling
that the Francisco Villa precedent
might not hold good in Europe.
In the present contest conditions are
not of the sort to appeal to any photo,
grapher who understands them. The
battles are certain to be of stupendou5

LAND co.'s SPLASH TROUBLE ON
THEMSELVES FROM "a LAKE"
Several land companies, including
the Chicago Mill and Lumber Co.,
face prosecution as land thieves as
result of agitation started in South
western Arkansas, where large tracts
of timber are being cut away, al
though the tract from which the lum-
Der is being secured is legally "a
lake"
Back in 1912 that particular sec
ton Of the country around New Ma
drid, Mo-, and south of it was visited
by an earthquake which caused a
great deal of land in Southwestern
Arkansas to sink. This land became
covered with water and, although
trees we're growing upon it, it was en-
tered by government surveyors as a
lake"
Along came representatives of the
land companies to buy up the land
which is considered valuable. But
legally it was lake and the best they
could do was buy "the shore" land
all around it, and then exercise their
riparian right to the lake. They did
this and have since cut about $2,000,-
900 worth of timber.
Professor Henry c. Cowles of the
University of Chicago will act for the
government in tracing the land from
the time of the quake until it was
cleared of water.
