Life Insurance Companies
THEY ARE CLOSELY OBSERVING
PUBLIC HEALTH CONDITIONS

An examining physician for one
of the prominent Life: Insurance
Companies, in an interview on the
subject, made the astonishing
statement that one reason why so
many applicants for insurance are
rejected is bcause kidney trouble
is so common to the American
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 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 kid
nev. liver and bladder remedy,
claim that judging from evidence
received from druggists everywhere,
who are constantly in touch with
their customers, and also indis-
putable proof in the form of CRATE
full testimonial letters from thous-
ands of reliable citizens, this
preparation is remarkably cuccess-
full in sickness caused by kidney
and bladder troubles, Every in
teresting statement they receive
regarding Swamp-Root is investi-
gated and no testimonial is pub
lished unless the party who sends
it it reported of good character.
They have on file many sworn
statements of recoveries in =, the
most distressing cases. They state
that DR.. Kilmer,s Swam-Root is
mild and gentle in its action and
it's healing influence is sooD noticed
in most cases. =.
Swamp-Root is purely an herbal
compound and DR.. Kilmer. & Co.
advise all readers who feel in need
of such a remedy to give it a trial.
1t is on sale at all drug stores in
bottles of two Sizes SOC. and 81 90.
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten
cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bing-
hamton, N. Y, for a sample bot
tie. When writing be sure and
mention the Highland Recorder.

1t seems that in a Roman picture

sary TO show a lamb and a lion to-
gether. He secured the surrounding
country for n lamb TO take the part. but
the best he could do was 10 get hold of
a sturdy and warlike ram. The ram
was placed in the arena with the lion
and the camera man got into action
So did the lion and the ram. The lion
made jump for the woolly stranger,
and. Just as he was rising from the
grouni the ram shot forward like a
Lolt from the blue and delivered a
smashing blow upon the lions stomach
The lion fell over backward and befol e
he could recover himself he received
another jolt from the gallant ram
which took all the fight out of MIN.
From then on it was a procession. with
the lion in the lead. Another hon was
introduced, and he same thing was re-
peated This lion was whipped TO
finish also, and the fierce little iiGhter
received from the director the lie ior
which he had fought so well.

all the fault of Toby.
Il am sure that the Spot children
have the mumps,' said Mrs. Hicks
one evening. She was sitting out OF
doors after her work was done, and
Toby and Fannie were with her.
They had been begging to be allowed
to go over to play with the Tabby
children, but Mrs. Hicks would not
consent. ''It Is all very well to laugh
at my fears" she said with quite
sniff, but il would be another ques-
ton for you 10 both have the mumps.
They are very painful. The Tabby
children have not been out for two
days and they no doubt have them.

Is art to be completely subju-

or will there come a time when
he big film companies realize that
the public would like to have a lit
tie bit left to the imagination?
Heretofore there has been but
ore important director of picture

nth was severely criticised for
casting aside thrilling realism for
q beautiful picture that conveyed
the thought rather than the action

obtained a powerful colleague in

the Belasco theatrical forces. Mr..
Buckland has some very decided
notions regarding motion pictures
and has criticised the methods of

view on the subject recently he
stated: .. ----.s
on the stage, realism has gone
as far as il can. Detail has been
multiplied until it has ceased to
convey a meaning. The old method
is outWorn; the new-so successfully
used in Europe by Reinhardt and
Gordon Craig-has not yet been
adopted. The same is true of pic
lures. ...,
The mere physical, Photographic
reproduction of life is paramount
now and it has already begun to out
live its usefulness. The result has
been commercial photography instead
OF artistic INSTALLATION OF dramatic

The higher forms of appeal to the

them into practice in these produc-

a new source of strength and 'popu-
