KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicaats for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one Of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the a.
tonishing statement that one reason why
10 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is 30 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 p-. 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 =
sample bottle. When writing be sure and

REMEMBERED
and
FORGOTTEN 81
BY LAURA JEAN LIBBEY

''The heart IL hard in nature and unfit
For human fellowship. as being void
OF sympathy and therefore dead alike
To love and friendship both. that is not
pleased
with sight of others enjoying life
Nor feels their happiness augment MS
own"
At the beginning of the New Year
one should brush the dust of his list
of friends, looking up those who have
dropped quietly out Of ones everyday
life without a very good reason for
1t. Making new acquaintances is usu-
ally nm easy matter. But to nurture
those acquaintances until they bios
som into friends, cemented by loyalty
and constancy, is q different problem.
A man or woman may count ac-
quaintances by the scOre-people VINO
invite them to their homes to dine, to
theater party, or merrymaking-yet
they are still acQuaintances only.
Friendship means much more than
this, while few actually understand IT..
Many a one has counted up hundred
so-cnlled friends today. But If adver-
s!ty assails one tomorrow there may
not be one heart among the mnny one
could turn to for sOlace and cheer.
Not one pair Of hands would be ex-
tended to draw one in from the cold,
the storm and darkness, If one is sud-
denly bereft Of shelter. Past dement's
are not remembered. AcQuaintances
ind 1t easy to forget. Only friends re
member the past and it, hallowed
memoriea.

Paris, Dec 23.-The Presidents
first week in France finds the pre-
liminary situation surrounding the
peace conference fairly well developed
toward the point where, according to
the Presidents expressed view, 1t will
be worth while for the United States
to participate.
The Presidents conferences with
French and Italian statesmen have
served to emphasize that he considers
a treaty OF peace not enough, but that
the general agreement to be made
among the nations must include sat
isfactory settlement OF the question
of the freedom of the seas and a
league of nations.
The President now goes to England
to continue the discussions there along
the same lines as those he had with
the representatives Of France and
Italy. which the Presidents advisers
describe as having been satisfactory
President Wilson. in acknowledging
the honor bestowed upon him by the
University OF Paris in the form OF n
doctors degree, said: Il feel very
keenly the distinguished honor which
has been conferred upon me by the
great University OF Paris, and it is
very delightful to me also to have the
honor of being inducted into the great
company OF scholars whose life and

of her courtship-where she first met
her lover. their Introduction, the i'm
preston she formed of him at first
sight. She even remembers what her
reverIes were and her wonderment as
to whether or not he thought Of her.
She remembers each call he made; all
that was said or done; how she had
detected his growing love for her even
before he guessed 1t himself. She re-
members the hour Of their bethrOthal
and the conversation that brought 1t
quite Unexpectedly about.
As for the man she married. not one
man in hundred can remember what
emotion swept across his heart at his
first meeting with her whom he was
to love evermore till death did them
part. Ninety-nine men out of hun
dred will confess to their wives. "rm
blest II 1 just know just how hap
pened to propose to you" When
man can forget that most thrilling Of
all moments in his life he can forget
anything. Such men find 1t very easy
to forget their wife's or chlldren's
birthdays, realizing that remembrance
would call for presents.
Many wives are glad to have the chill
dren not forgotten. But they are just
as well satisfied that he has forgotten
how swiftly time is running away with
their good looks and aging them.
Last, and by no means least. no man
or woman, no matter how happily mar
ried, should allow the old folks Mt home
to imagine themselves forgotten by

We should always remember not to for

FLUSH KIDNEYS
WITH SALTS IF
BACK IS ACHING
Noted authority says we eat too
much meat, which clogs
Kidneys.
Take glass of Salts when
Kidneys hurt or Bladder
bothers you.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make Il mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally,
says a well-known authority. Meat
forms uric acid which eXcites the
kidneys, they become overworked
from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons
from the blood, then we get sick.
Nearly all rheumatism, headaches,
liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness,
sleeplessness and urinary disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts or
il the urine is cloudy, offensive, full
of sediment, irregular of passage or
attended by a sensation of scalding,
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy; take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast and in a
few days your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimu-
late the kidneys, also to neutralize
the acids in urine so it no longer
causes irritation, thus ending BLADDER
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes delightful effer-
Vescent lithia-water drink which
everyone should take now and then
to keep the kidneys clean and active
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications.

Military Organizations
Plan Much Work Through
New Escort Association

Absence from the city of all of the
former National Guard units has
prompted the organization of an as
sociation which has recently been
formed under the direction of Cap
tain e. Laubenstein.
The organization has adopted the
name of The Military Escort Asso-
citation and the purpose of it's ex-
istence is to furnish, when requested
a proper military escort, either upon
public occasions or upon the burial
of the remains of a comrade who
has died in the service of his coun-
try. 1t also proposes to cooperate
with the local chapter of the Red
Cross in rendering relief to the fam
lily of any stricken soldier.
The association is composed of a
committee of three from each of the
following organizations: Grand
Army of the Republic, City Grays
City Zouaves, Veterans of Foreign
Wars, Spanish-American War Veter-
ans, Sons of Veterans, eX-members of
the Governors Troop, Harrisburg
Rifle Club, Harrisburg Reserves and
Company I, Second Regiment, Penn
sylvania Reserve Militia.
At a meeting held last evening at
the City Grays Armory it was de-
cided that the newly organized asso-
citation would hold a military ball at
the Armory some time during the
month of April, for the purpose of
raising funds to defray the necessary
expenses of the organization.
The following are the officers of
the association: Captain e. Lauben-
stein. chairman; C. A. Dunn. secre-
tary, and II D. Meyers, treasurer.
The next meeting of the associa-
tion will be held at the City Grays'
Armory on Monday night next at s
O'clock

INSURE MEN IS
RED CROSS PLEA
Local Chapter Taking an Act
i've Part in the National
Campaign

The local Red Cross Chapter is
taking an active part in the national
drive for insuring men in the Unit
ed States service. Weekly bulletins
are issued by officers of the local or
sani2ation to inform residents of
the work.
To-day's information follows:
The Home Service Section of the
Steelton Chapter of the American
Red Cross, urges that all men leav-
ing Steelton and vicinity for service
in the Army or Navy, take out the
ful, amount of insurance at once for
their own protection as well as that
OF their families.
AT the low rates offered by the
goNernment $3.50 per month on ten
thousand dollars )even the man with
only a privates pay and with half
of that deducted as an allotment to
wife and children, can afford to pay
for the maximum amount of insur-
ance allowed by the law, $4,000
worth.
The policies will be payable in
the event of either death or total
disa ability of the insured. In the event
of death, payment will be made to
widow or children or any other
beneficiary in monthly payments
extending over a period of twenty
years. A policy of $4,000 would
bring the beneficiary $3.50 each
month. In case of total disability
the same sum would be paid to the
insured man for twenty years or as
long as he lives, or is totally dis
abled.
The single man should protect
himself as well as the man with Il
family, because after the war the
government has obligated itself to
convert this war insurance into peace
insurance, without a medical eX-
animation, and at that time the
young man will find that he will be
just so much better prepared for
the obligations of marriage.
This insurance has nothing what
ever to do with compensation which
now takes the place of the pensions
given in the other wars to the SOL
diers and sailors.
ANY information desired by the
men leaving for service or by their
families, will be gladly given at the
office of the Home Service Section
at the Red Cross rooms each Mon
day, Wednesday and Friday from
until o'clock"

OWNERS OF @LAW
ACRES" SCORED
State Fair Men Flay Farmers
Who Do Not Raise
Wheat

Landowners who profess to be pa
triots in every sense of the word and
own lazy acres" and an imaginary
patriotic heart, were bitterly con-
demned in a series of resolutions
passed at the annual meeting of the
Pennsylvania State Association of
County Fairs. held at the Bolton
House this afternoon. The associa-
ton is in every way assisting the
government and the National Food
Administration. This resolution was
part of their program.
The meeting opened this after
noon with Hal White, of Indiana,
serving as temporary chairman in
the place of William G. Murdock,
of Milton, who was president of the
association for the past year. An
nounceInent was made that the as
sociation had received u promise
that no embargo would be declared
on stock shipped to the fairs for eX-
hibition purposes. The promise from
the railroads was on certain condi-
tions. I'VE will abide by any condi-
tions which the government may
give" said Mr.. White.
New Officers
An address was made by Charles
a. Snyder, Auditor General of the
state, on matters of interest to the
members of the association.
The following officers were elected:
Hal White, Indiana, president;
Walter r. Buckman, Philadelphia;
Ahner S. Deysher. Reading; James
p. Eagleson, Washington, and DR..
w. T. Mcmillan, Meyersdale, vice
presidents; ]. f. Seldomridge, Ian

burg; c. G. Breneman, Altoona; W.
A. Boyd, Stoneboro; n. l.. Strong,
Brookville; c. c. Smith, Warren, and
III. o. Holcomb, Conneaut Lake.
The election was the result of the
nominations made at the meetings
at Pittsburgh. January 1890, and
Pittsburgh. February Sc.
The association now has a mem
bership of fifty-seven fairs. When
it was begun five years ago, five fairs
were enrolled.
The county fairs of the state are
taking up, as a body, the question
of good roads. 1t is to be a matter
of necessity, and an endeavor will
be made to separate it from politi-
cal issues.
