Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root, Dr.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
ton, 0vercomeS Kidney Trouble

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to a re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
fltering the blood
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is DIR. Kilmers Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. 1t
IS DIR. Kilmer's prescription used in pr.
vate practice and it is sure to benefit YOU.
Get bottle from your druggist.
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.

WILL CARE FOR OUR OWN.
Government Insurance Policy for Its
Soldiers and Sailors.

Washington.-Samples of the insur-
ance policy which the government will
write for its soldiers and sailors were
t made public October ii by the war
risk insurance bureau of the treasury
department.
Details of the policy disclose that
| risks will be written upon the lives
of men and women between the ages
of 10 and 60 in all branches of the
army navy, marine corps, coast guard,
naval reserve, national naval volun-
teers, nurses and "any other branches
of the United States service serving
| with the army and navy" Announce
ment was made also that crates at
ages higher or lower will be given
upon request"
Premiums, computed on a monthly
basis, vary between 63 cents per $1,000
at age 10 to 1925 per thousand at age
50. Between q and 81 years, the fol-
lowing monthly premiums will be
charged per $1,000 of insurance (the
limit being 100000:
Twenty-one to %, inclusive, 60
cents; "a 30 %, GO cents; 26 and 81,
81 cents; 2S, IS cents; 20 and 30, 60
cents; 81, 20 cents.
During periods of total disability,
the insurance will be paid, not in one
lump sum, but monthly for twenty
years, should the disability continue
for that period. Soud death occur be-
fore twenty years, the remainder of
the policy will be paid at once to the
beneficiary. AT the age of %, the
monthly installment for the twenty
year period would be $5.75 per $1,000
of insurance.
Provision is made for family allow
ances, for wounded and cripples, for
compensation in case of death or in
jury without cost and for insurance at
very small cost.
In cases of partial disability the
amount of compensation is determined
by schedule to be based upon the ex-
tent of the Impairment of earning ca
pacity. Total disability payments are
to be increased above the figures
named in the policy where the insured
has dependencies.
"Where the injury or disease is
caused by the wilful misconduct of the
man," the policy reads, compensation
will not be paid"
The policies will be issued in null
tiples of $500, no policy, however, to
be less than $1,000.

FIENDisH GRIMES OF TURKS.
Children Buried Alive in Trenches
With Bodies of Murdered Mothers.

New York.-Burial alive of babies in

missions to Harput, Turkey, who re-
Gently came back to this country. A

"The gendarmes said they could not

behind so many of those We're buried
with their mothers" DIR. Riggs said.

THROUGH STEEL FOOT THICK
Great Power of the Fifteen-lnch Guns
Now in Use in the European
War.

We hear much and have read more
about the power of big guns and havoc
they create, yet very few people really
| understand the immense power behind
one of these modern engines of de-
structiOn, writes a war correspondent
What, for instance, do you understand
by the power of 15-inch gun 2"
driven seven miles away from the wall
II inches thick and made of the hard
est steel; then take an automobile and
drive seven miles away from the wall,
Arrived at that point you will find a
big gun aimed at the wall you have
left seven miles behind and which you
cannot see. Go over to the gun and
pull the lanyard. The steel that you
release by pulling this lanyard will
travel through the air the entire dis
lance you have come by automobile
and will go right through the Pinch
steel wall.
The most powerful land guns ever
made are the German howitzers, or
16.5-inch guns. The most formidable
steel and concrete forts are cracked
open by these huge guns as though
they were made of paper. Naval guns
cannot be developed to the same size
as land guns because it is more diff
cult to handle one of these aboard q
ship. For that reason the greatest eff
fective range with a naval gun is from
eight to ten miles. The largest naval
gun is the 15-inch gun on the famous
British superdreadnaught Queen Eli
zabeth, while the German 42-centimet-
er howitzer, which reduced Antwerp
and other fortresses believed impreg-
nable, is the most powerful land gun.
The great guns aboard the Queen Eli
zabeth fire projectiles which weigh
ton. The United States, however, now
has guns defending the Panama canal
and New York, which hurl through the
air mass of metal weighing almost
400 pounds more than the British SUI
perdreadnanghtS guns.
