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
consisting 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
its 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 a
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..
kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

inc mining engineer, a mechanic, and
various other things. During action
he t0rpedO-lieutenant must stand by

IF a modern naval engagement are so
great that tOrpedoes cannot be used.
But when the torpedo bugles sound for
action the crews Immediately repair
below decks, load the torpedo tubes,
and again wait for orders to fire.
For hours the officer stands thus,
watching the combat. Then suddenly
his chance comes. The ships close in.
There is a good chance to put torpe-
10 into an enemy vessel. "Snick!' A
iull kissing tells that the torpedo has
left the tube and is speeding towards
its mark. Then the tubes are again
loaded, and so it goes on.

The Soldier.

We have heard from one of our cor
respondents abroad-somewhere in
darkest England, says an exchange.
And he relates that an American sol
der accompanied him to a shop In
London, where he wished to purchase
a book. And while the soldier was
waiting, he, too, saw book he thought
he'd like. and he asked the young Wom-
an its price.
Three and six, sir" answered the
shop assistant.
(Which is the three and which is the
six?" asked the soldier.
There aren't two sorts, sir-thls
book is three and six"
"Well, that makes nine," said the
soldier. Cant you add? I'll take it.
Nine what-pennies or pounds?

PEASANT ARTS ARE Revived
Handeraft, Including Weaving, Metal
Work, Wood Carving ard Other
Crafts Revived in Europe.

On the other side of the Atlantic
there has been much more extensive
revival than there has been in this
country of the so-called peasant arts.
says the Brooklyn Eagle. Under this
head comes all sorts Of handcraft-
weaving, metal work, wood carving
and other crafts in which the hand
rather than machinery guides the tool.
One reason for this revival is to be
found in the war conditions. Large
numbers Of incapacitated soldiers sud
denly found themselves-after having
been discharged from hospitals-de-
prived In one way or another of their
usual means of activity, out of the
fight and with leisure enough to do
something if something could be de-
vised which they with their limited
strength or facilities might do. Many
of these men were men of great pow
ers Of appreciation and original ideas
and others possessed skilled hands and
the ability to use tools. In this way
were started many centers where hand
crafts and peasant arts were revived
and an immediate sale of all the out
put of such centers showed not only a
willingness to help these workers, but
true appreciation of their work. And
so the craze for hand-wrought articles
and fabrics of all sorts started, and
now centers have sprung up in many
quarters for this sort of thing.
Perhaps no class of persons ever
appreciated hand-wrought objects Of
all sorts more than we Americans do.
Tourists from this country-in the
old days when we went to France for
other purposes than to fight-werc
noted for their craze for hand
made objects - hand-embroidered
waists hand-carved picture frames.
hand-woyen linen and hand-done
everything. The very fact that in our
land machinery had been perfected to
such 4 high degree must have had
something to dc with. In q land like
ourS, leisure folks have not patience
enough for the slow accomplishments
Of handcraftS, and labor is too high
and there are too many more remun-
erative ways of employing itefor us to
have Il large class of hand workers.
Hence we came to prize most highly
that which we did not have.

Music of GrasshopperS.

No music is as familiar as that pro-
duced by the locust, grasShoppors and
crickets, and, although they are not
produced by the mouth, they answer
as calls, and are undoubtedly a Ian
guage to a certain extent: and, indeed,
their calls have been reduced to writ
ten music. The music of graSsh0ppers
Is produced in four different ways, ac-
cording to Scudder. First, by rubbing
the base of one wing upon the other,
using for that purpose veins running
through the middle portion Of the
wing; second, by similar method, by
using the veins Of The inner part Of
the wing; third, by rubbing the inner
part OF the wing; third by rubbing
the inner surface of the hind legs
against the outer surface Of the wing
covers; and, fourth. by rubbing to-
gether the upper surface of tie front
edge of the wings and the under sur
face of the hind legs.
