LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES
They Are Closely Observing Pub.
lie 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 because kidney trouble is
so common to the American people, and
the large majority of those whose appli-
cations 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 DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the wellknown kidney, liver and bladder
remedy, claim that judging from evi-
dence received from druggists every
where. who are constantly in touch with
their customers, and also indisputable
proof in the form of grateful testimonial
letters from thousands of reliable citi.
zens, this preparation is remarkably sue
cessful 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 DIR. Kilmer's 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 COM
pound and DIR. Kilmer & Co. advise all
readers who feel in need of such rem
edy to give it trial. 1t is on sale at all
drug stores in bottles of two sizes-5Oc.
and Sl.00. However, if you wish first to
test this great preparation send ten cents
to DR.. Kilmer g. Co.. Binghamton, N. Y,
for a sample bottle. When writing be

ment of the Colorado militia for its
treatment Of striking miners and
their families is contained in a volu-
minous report submitted to the House

tee, which Investigated conditions in
the Colorado coal fields under a reso-
luton adopted year ago in January.
While scoring conditions generally
in tho coal fields and criticizing many
of the acts of the mine operators, in
cluding alleged violation of state laws,
the committee reports that no evil
dence was found Of conspiracy in re-
straint of trade to limit the output Of
the mines. nor conclusive proof of the
existence of peonage.
The strike was settled long before
the committee completed it's report, SC
no specific recommendations were
made. The committee appeals, how
ever, for arbitration in such situations.
1t declares that these disturbances are
nationwide in their Importance; that
the federal government is the only
power competent to deal with them
and. after referring to the testimony
of John ID. Rockefeller, Jr., who dis
claimed responsibility for Colorado vio-
lations, adds:
Absentee owners or directors by
their absence from the scene of such
disturbances cannot escape their NOR
al responsibility for conditions in and
about properties in which they are in
terested."
Minority reports were submitted by
two members of the subcommittee,
Representative Byrnes of South Caro-
lima tDem.), and Austin of Tennes-

COMPENSATION INSURANCE RATE
Bill Opens Way for Organization Of

Denver-Repeated efforts by the

dustrial relations to obtain figures to
show the rates which the insurance
companies will demand under the
Colorado compensation law have SO far
had only unsatisfactory results, accord.

hearing on the industrial commission

In the House chamber. Eaton init.
mated that, unless satisfactory replies
to the joint committees inquiries ore
received. further attention will be
given to the organization of mutual
companies composed of employers
who come under the provisions Of the
act. The bill already opens the way
for the organization of mutual insur.
ance companies. and II this step is
taken on broad scale 1t will mean

Provides severe Penalties for Treason.


Denver-Treason against the state
should not always be punished by
death, in the opinion Of majority of
the members of the lower house Of
the Legislature, and they amended Ar
dourel's bill, imposing penalty for
treason, by making it read that the
jury-as in first-degree murder cases
shall decide whether the punishment
shall be death or life Imprisonment.
The measure WIS introduced, with sew
eral others, following the discovery by
Ardourel during the coal strike that
the statutes OF the state do not pro-
vide any penalty for treason, although
it is defined and denounced by the
constitution. After changing the pen
atty clause, the House passed the
measure ON second reading. Represen-
tative Bruce declared that the Legis-
lature was exceeding its power in
passing the bill; that the state con-
stitution alreaay defined treason and
gave the Legislature no power to fix
a penalty. He said power to fix the
penalty was vested in Congress alone.
