KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

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
SO 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 applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
dts remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp-Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad-
wise our 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,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

able tribute to his memory has been

The salt-cellar remains on the table

France has a quiet Christmas, CIV

homes of some of the peasants. The
ashes of the great Yule log are thought
to be protection against lightning and
bad luck; the old log has magic power
to fill with peppermints shoes left
beside it, and its ashes dropped into
medicine have wonderful curative pow
ers. French children have Christmas
trees and little cradles made of ever
greens, representations of the holy
manger. France sings carols through
the whole month of December, stroll

house to house. The presence of

Christmas in Italy means a chill

NEARING End OF WAR.

The weeks advices from abroad
clearly suggest that the question OF
peace is assuming more of practical
and less of superficial form. Ger
many, in a supplemental note to
Rome, has suggested the restoration
of Belgium on certain conditions,
which are. of course, unacceptable
The kaiser suggests that payment shall
be made by the central powers for
part of the war damage" This offer,
says Henry Clews in his Financial Re
view, is not so important in itself. But
it is an indication of movement to
prepare his own people for the newt
able.
Not very long ago the mere sug-
gestion to withdraw from Belgium
would have been assailed with severe
criticism from military supporters
thruout Germany, but the current Of
fer seems hardly to have attracted
widespread attention. But one by one
these little evidences are creeping out,
showing that the subject of peace is
being systematically worked out.
By spring our own country will
have an army abroad capable of strik-
ing in most decisive manner-an army
composed of men fresh and fit in
body and spirit, well equipped and
eager TO do their full part in the strug-
gle for democracy. Opposed to them
will be armies worn out by more than
three years of service, with equipment
that has necessarily deprecated. with
poorly fed troops who know that their
families are in want and in misery
The kaiser and his advisers know as
we'll as they know anything that these
are conditions which they cannot sue
cessfully meet. 1t seems quite fair to
believe that as intelligent men they
vent an issue than can have but one
result.
We are approaching fairly close the
termination of the 1917 campaign.
The British and French and Italian
troops may be expected to continue
even after the winter sets in their
work of attrition, which will wear
down the enemy and make the entente
forces, as reinforced by our strong and
vigorous American army, ready for a
final attack in the spring. This will
occur unless the kaiser in the mean
time shall recognize the futility of
keeping up the unequal fight, when
his submarine and other forms of
frightfulness, which he has so conf
IDENTIFY relied upon, have been fully
tried and found wanting.

SIDE T ALK S
Fact and Fancy Mixed.
BY RUTH CAMERON.

The calm, untroubled by any mis-
givings, way which some people have
of announcing the things they think
as facts is something which aston
ishes me every time 1 come up
against it.
On our telephone line is a woman
who calls up another woman every
morning and talks to her about half
an hour
1 was speaking about this habit to
neighbor of mine. Il sometimes
wonder who it can be- 1 said.
It's her sister-in-law," said my
neighbor.
She stated it cs fact. 1t never
occurred to me to doubt it.
A few days later I CHANGED to hear
that the woman on my line and her
sister-in-law have never been friends
and barely speak when they meet.
The next time 1 met my neighbor,
1 mentioned this fact to her.
rs that SOP" she said placidly.
Then it can't be she that Mrs. NJ. is
talking to. 1t must be Mrs. L., then !;
1 know they are very intimate"
Naturally, l took this information
with a heaping teaspoonful of salt.
You Learn to Use Plenty of Salt.
That is what happens whenever you
find you have to deal with a person
who has this habit. You don't feel
any assurance that anything he or
she says is founded on basis of
knowledge. How should you?
1t happens that 1 never caught this
neighbor in such a statement before.
She has told me many things which
have accepted as unquestionably
so. because she has large authorita-
tive manner that predisposes one to
be impressed by what she says. But
since I have checked her up in one
unfounded statement, l know | shall
not be able to help wondering If all
her statements are born of intuition
rather than knowledge.
Women, 1 think, are more prone to
this habit than men. Men have to
know. rather than think. The world
they live in demands it of them. They
may sometimes make unfounded
statements. but they are more apt to
qualify them by II think or. II bet"
And yet l have met a few men who
had this habit. One of these con-
stantly announces the most astonish-
ing things as facts. One was thai
Roosevelt wanted to be king of Amer
lea; that he knew beyond question.
Who told him? Nobody. He knew
it,. You might judge from this ILL
stance that he is rather unbalanced.
Yet he is an unusually successful
young business man.
The only answer, to my mind, is
that he must keep this habit for his
social life and exclude it from his
business intercourse
