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 eCm-
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 4 Co., Binghamton, n. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

GROWTH OF IMPROVED ROADS
Inventions, Discoveries and Public I'm.
provements Come When There
10 Strong Demand.

The history Of good roads affords
striking example of the fact that In
ventions, discoveries and public i'm
provements take place only when
there is an insistent demand for them.
In early times, when each family lived
largely to itself, there was little COM
merce In the articles produced on the
farm and consequently little need for
transportation. As large cities devel-
oped the demand for roads on which
products might be easily transported
grew.
Two of the most recent causes for
the improvement Of roads have been
pleasure vehicles. Twenty-Five years
ago the bicycle begun to come into
common use and the cyclists made a
vigorous demand for roads on which
they might ride. Unfortunately, how
ever, paths for bicycles were construct
ed In many places In lieu Of improved
roads. The invention Of the automo-
bile, however. has meant real step
toward better roads.

BOY SCOUT GOOD TURNS.

At Reading, Pa. all boy scout troops
are prepared to watch for forest fires.
Scout patrols have been assigned to
all important points. There are fifteen
troops of scouts, each of which normal
ly contains 81 boys under scoutmas-
ter and assistant scoutmaster.
Boy scouts of East Dallas, Tex,
have made a census of all boys be-
tween the ages of fourteen and eight
cen for the purpose of enlisting them
for government service whenever the
necessity arises.
Boy scout troop No. 4 of Elgin, ILL.,,
has started campaign to furnish
boxes to be used for sending parcel
post packages to soldiers In France
and In environments throughout the
United States. The government rules
make II difficult for people sending
packages to secure box that will not
be too big or weigh more than Is nee
essary. The scouts Ak the boxes over
and put on hinges.
The boy scouts in Joplin, Mo-, are
ready to enlist In the snow-shoveline
brigade. There is such shortage OF
workers that the scouts have agreed
10 answer calls for this work.

THE SIZE OF SCOUT CITY"


The Boy Scouts OF America has a
membership of 295,78S boys properly
registered In 1887 troops, with 49,
1878 men council members and troop
committeeman and scoutmnsters.
II all the scouts and their lenders
were In one city, then Scout City"
would rank eighteenth in the United
States. This is larger than Minneapo-
lis and almost us large us Newark or
New Orleans.
The registered boy scouts alone
could almost fiji city ranking with
Indianapolis or Kansas City, and more
than enough for st. Paul.
Counting the million or more scouts
who have received during the past
eight years the benefit Of the scout
program and who have entered mans
estate, the Boy Scouts Of America
could move bodily into Il deserted
Cleveland and Boston and there would
be scout to represent every man,
woman or child among the former In
habitants Of both cities, or almost
enough to fill Philadelphia.
There are 100000 boys who could
be scouts II there were men leaders
enough. When the nationwide cam
paign of the Boy Scouts of America
for scout leaders is over, II Is expect
ed that there will be room In the scout
organization for 100000 duly regis
tered boys. Scout City" then might
well be as large as Chicago. The
scouts would overrun the several
states.
The hoy power Of this nation Is n
mighty thing. The organized boyhood
of America Is one Of its greatest
forces.
