WAR EXHAUSTING
SUPPLY OF HORSES
Danger Of United States Being
Drained Of Fine Animals.

New York. The extent TO which the
war has depleted the supply OF high
class American horses is pointed out
by f. X Sturgis, prominent in financial
circles and who as vice chairman OF
the Jockey club has charge OF that
organizations bureau Of breeding In
New York state.
The economic waste the struggle
has created Is not generally realized
said Mr.. Sturgis The announcement
that we have exported $59OO0000
worth Of horses and mules since the
war started will not mean much except
to the Initiated. but II takes on ire
mcndous Importance when we learn
that during the entire period of the
Boer war. which lasted from October.
1899, to June. 1902. the British govern.
ment purchased all told 47O,GOO horses.
of which We supplied lO9s39 head
During the same period they bought
1860 mules. Of which We furnished
81, 524 head
ut appears from this that the Unit
ed States has furnished for Great
Britain, France and Italy IN the period
OF ten months past almost as many
horses and mules ms the British gov.
eminent bought in all countries during
the almost three years OF hostllities In
South Africa. When the hundreds OF
thousands OF horses supplied by other
countries are considered and Il Is re
membered that the average life OF a
horse In the actual war zone is but ten
days some idea OF the necessity OF
stimulating the breeding interests Is
/ apparent.
Some faint idea OF the rate at which
the horse Is being eliminated may be
gathered by reference to statistics In
connection with the Army OF the Poto
mae during the civil war" he continu
ed THE records show that there
were thirty cavalry regiments whose
effective strength varied during the six
months from May 10 October between
10000 and 1900 men This body 81

KIDNEY TROUBLE
NOT RECOGNIZED

An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview Of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
90 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so com
mon to the American people, and the
large majority Of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease.
According to this it would seem that q
medicine for the kidneys, possessing real
healing and curative properties, would be
9 blessing to thousands.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the well
known kidney, liver and bladder remedy,
Is remarkably successful in sickness caused
by kidney and bladder troubles. II is mild
yand gentle in its action and its healing in.
