along that line.
Recently Smith and Jones met In a
restaurant, and while daintily manip-
ulating the abbreviated bits, their talk
turned to a comparison Of domestic
expenses. First 1t was beef, next 1t
was butter, and finally millinery came
up for q few sighful remarks.
"You should have seen the peach

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 DIR. 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 q
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 thi
great preparation send ten cents to DIR

Age and Youth.

The older man who remembers
younger whom he has once met and
greets him on the street is an excep-
tional person. And the younger man
who, on being thus remembered and
gzeeted, feels neither pleasure nor
gratitude, Is an exceptional person. II
the deferential respect of the young
is gratifying to the elderly, the notice
and the interest of the elderly are
stimulating to the young, observes a
writer in Youths Companion. To
think of each person whom you meet
as an individual, however young he
may be, to try to discover In what
ways he is individual, and to charge
the memory with the impression of
him-those should be regarded as So
cial obligations by people who have at
tanned middle age and who with it
should have acquired some degree of
wisdom and of interest In the human
kind.

He'd Forgotten Something.

1t was in the earlier days of recruit

an ostentatious manner, a watch-chain

Hot Weather Pois0nS
Hit The Stomach First
How to Keep Your Stomach
Strong, Cool and Sweet

Hot weather always starts those

Such summer poisons in foods not

bowels.
These poisons not only generate
gases and fluids which cause that
bloated, lumpy feeling, heartburn, sour
stomach, belching, acidity, but endless
other stomach and bowel miseries.
A sure, safe, quick acting relief has
been found which absorbs and neu-

to climb to the caves to rob the spar

sparrows for such a pie opened In
