GERS and of high civilian officials were
contributed some time ago to a New
York publication. A senator of the
United States secured permission to
have the answers printed as a public
document. Until recently there were
comparatively few calls for this docu-
ment, but it can be secured today and
in it can be found Just what high
officials, military and civil, think is the
trouble With the land forces of the
United States.
For instance there is an answer to
the question made by former Secre-
tary of War Henry l.. Stimson. He
cites examples of the troubles and
says that they serve to show our
lack of intelligent system in dealing
with our army" Then he adds:
These are all matters for us. They
demand the intelligent interest of the
citizens Just as much as they involve
his ultimate safety and welfare"
The answers originally appeared in
the New York Independent and the
opinions of the officials at the head
of the articles in answer to the ques-
tion were put into few words. These
condensed are some of the answers to
the query: What is the matter with
our army"

A WARNING TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts About
Kidney Troubles.

Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of
serious illness, makes chemical analysis
of the patients urine. He knows that
unless the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics, Brig hts disease, which is really
an advanced form of kidney trouble,
caused nearly ten thousand deaths in
1913 in the state of New York alone.
Therefore, it behooves us to pay more
attention to the health of these most
important org,ns.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as a kidney rem
edy is DR.. kilmer's Swamp Root, the
great Kidney, Liver and Bladder Remedy.
The mild and healing influence of this
preparation in most cases is soon realized,
according to sworn statements and verified
testimony of those who have used the
remedy.
If you feel that your kidneys require
attention, and wish sample bottle, write
to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.
Mention this paper, enclose ten cents and
they will gladly forward it to you by
Parcel Post.
