Life INSURANCE COMPANIES
They Arc Closely Observing Public
Health Conditions

An examining physician for one OF
the prominent Life Insurance Compa-
MES, in an interview on the subject
made the astonishing statement that
one reason why SO many applicants
for insurance are rejected is because
kidney trouble is so common to the
American people. and the large ma
jority 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.. ktlmer Co., Binghamton, n.
Y, who prepare DR.. Kilmer's Swamp.
Root, the well known kidney, liver and
remedy, claim that judging from evil

where, who are constantly i'll touch

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.. Kilmer & 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 S1.0O. However.

Meeting At NJ. E. Church,
South, Grows In Interest.
Mission Class Attends.

The presence OF the Mission class
of about thirty members at the re-
vival services at the NJ. E. church,
South, last night was an interesting
feature of that service. The work of
the women was emphasized in the ser
vice of last night and showed what an
important part the women take in the
church services and work.
A service was held yesterday after
noon which was productive OF much
good. DIR. Canter preached an excel
lent sermon last night and much in.
terest was manifested in the service.
This evening a hundred members
from the Rivesville Methodist Episco-
pal church. South, will attend the
service in body.
There was no service this afternoon
owing to the fact that the pastor at.
tended the funeral of Mr.. ]. w. Her

They are there! counted them
myself-six delightful little parlors. all
in varying but harmonious shades of
brown each with its two trim chairs
high-backed corner seat, small round

parlor Is not a play" room, a thing of

Every night in the week the beau

I'd have to give those parlors shorter

In actual fact, she is as pleased as
any of the girls at their success. She
nodded instant assent when I quoted
to her Miss Geary's remark about
there always being beaux to entertain

Major Powell, at the head OF an ex-

to Rio Virgin. The party made the
trip in four boats. and faced many
hazards and difficulties during the

continued his explorations in later
years and wrote Canyons of the
