KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
T 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 report 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 il trial 1t is on sale
ut 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.

Are the Packers Profiteers? ?
Plain Facts About the Meat Business

The Federal Trade Commission in its report

profeering and that they have monopoly of the market
These conclusions fair and just matters Of serious

business but to every other citizen Of country

The packers mentioned in the report stand ready to prove
their profits reasonable and necessary.

tries. Any citizen who would famarizs himself with its
details must be prepared for large totals
The report states that the aggregate profits Of four large
packers were $40 900 for the three years.
This sum is compared with $1s 5000 as the average
annual profit for the three yea before the making it
appear the profit $121 900 greater than
the pre-war profit.
This compares three-year profit with proft-a
manifesy unfair method Of comparison 1t is not only
misleading but the Federal Trade Commission apparently
has made q mistake in the figures themselves.
The aggregate three-year profits OF $1400OO0o0 was

means about three each dollar of saeor mere
fraction Of cent per pound Of product.
Packers profits negligible factor in prices Of live

upon such small margins of profit.
Furthemore-and this is very important-only small
portion of this profit has been paid in dividends The
balance has been put back into the businesses 1t had to
