KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
AppIIcants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one Of the
prominent life insurance companies, IN an
interview Of the subject, made the es-
tonishing statement that one reason why
50 many applicants for insurance are re
iected 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 ia overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence Of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root ia
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp-Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would adj
wise our readers who feel in need Of such a
Eemedy to give it trial. II is on sale
ct 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, NJ Y, for .
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

TWO CARDINALS.

Cardinal Gibbons, America:
Il am opposed to any statewide or
nationwide prohibition measure. A
law Of this kind interferes with the
personal liberty and rights Of the peO-
pie and creates hypocrisy on the. part
Of the public. The history Of the
world down to the present time DEM
onstrates the fact that the people
have and always will indulge in in
toxicants, irrespective Of any re-
straining power that 1t is attempted
to saddle upon them"
Cardinal Mercier, Belgium:
''YOu who hold the Christian faith
look around you at those who suffer
from the effect Of alcoholism. Can
we be insensible to the spectacle Of
this misery and pass by on the other
side? No, indeed! / am only dis
charging my duty as a Catholic, as a
priest, as bishop, in coming to coop.
crate with yOu In the struggle against
alcoholism. While waiting for our
government to take action, we have
a right to take action, we have no
right to be inactive. Private initia-
tive should act without delay. And
first Of all be educating public opinion,
preparing the way for Intervention by
law"

GET OUT or THE LIQUOR sUsI-
NESS, UNCLE SAM.

Ia every honest business transaction
there are three parties concerned, the
seller, the buyer, and the community
generally. The business which gives
profit or gain to one party and feeces
either Of the other two parties Is q
swindle. Test the liquor traffic by this
standard and mark the result. Two
men, Brown and Green, each have one
thousand dollars. Brown spends his
money in whisky. Result: The whisky
seller gets the thousand dollars and
makes profit. Brown has parted with
his thousand dollars and got-nothing,
plus impaired health, ruined character,
degraded life, and perhaps a criminal
record. The community is improver-
ished by the amount Of waste Of wealth
of one Of its members, plus the poverty,
disorder, accident, crime, etc, which
attends his drinking, and the conse-
quent taxation involved. Green spends
his money In building a house with
the following results: The builder gets
the money and makes a profit on the
transaction; Green has parted with
! his money, but now has house equal
in value to the money, plus the com
fort, increased advantages, social
standing and credit which attends a
property owner. The community is
benefited by the wise expenditure Of
one Of its members, together with the
proportion Of taxes which the property
will pay. Every citizen is interested
In every new building, no matter who
is the owner. The legislation which
gives license to waste, and takes a
revenue from 1t. is doing the worst
that can possibly be done for the re-
sources Of my country.-Prof. John A.
Nichols.

amount Of capital necessary and the
small probability Of getting satisfac-
tory returns on the money invested.
So far as can be ascertalned in cases
In which failure has been met with
the trouble has been mostly due to the
fact that hog cholera was allowed to
claim q large portion Of the animals |;
in other words, the owners failed to
immunize their stock in a proper man
ner. The belief that hogs fed on garb-
age are exposed daily to the danger Of
cholera infection is well founded.
There Is always the possibility that
garbage contains scraps Of pork, such
as rinds and trimmings from hams
and bacon, or products of cholera car
cases that have been prepared for
markets at small local slaughtering
houses where no inspection Is main
tanned. These pieces Of choleraic pork,
without doubt, win reproduce the dis
ease If consumed in the raw state by
susceptible animals, besides creating a
source Of infection which may be re-
tained on the premises under garbage
feeding conditions.
The hog raiser who feeds garbage
In limited way only to supplement
in part other classes Of feed can read
lily arrange to cook the garbage thor
Oughly before feeding and in this way
eliminate, to a large degree, the dan
ger Of cholera infection. If, however,
large herds are fed on garbage en-
tirely, cooking Is not practicable and
from the feeders point of view 1t is
mot advisable. Therefore, in all such
cases it Is Of the utmost Importance
that the animals be immunized and
thus protected from hog cholera; In
fact, owners Of such enterprises should
be sure that hogs. are permanently Inn
mune before thet are placed on such
feed.
Pigs narrowed from immune sows
have q natural resistance to hog chOl-
era during their sucking period. When
they are about to lose this degree of
immunity, about weaving time, they
should be given the simultaneous inOc-
ulation (serum and virus). Even with
this method Of treatment few in
dividuals may become again suscep-
tible; therefore the herd should be
observed closely at all times and
treated again If any of the animals
show signs Of infection.
Considering the income derived from
hogs and the reasonable rates at which
garbage has been obtained, the extra
expense Of treating the animals must
be viewed as part of business prop
osltion, such as insuring against de-
struction by fire or against accidents
of any kind; and feeders of garbage
cannot consider their business as safe
unless they protect 1t against all pos
slble reverses, of which the most seri.
GUS is hog cholera.

BUILDING THE CACTUS HEDGE.

While In Arizona l saw the peculiar
bird caller road runner; and l learn
ed that when he meets a rattlesnake,
instead Of having a bloody encounter
with him, he begins to pick off the
cactus and surrounds the snake with
a circle of cactus pieces; then he picks
them up piece by piece and puts them
closer to the snake until the poison
GUS reptile is shut in close place and,
unable to cross the cactus hedge, he
stings himself to death. That is what
we are doing with the traffic that biteth
like a serpent and stingeth like an
adder. We are shutting him up in
close quarters In few wet cities and
a few backward states; and in this
close confinement we are going to let
him sting himself to death.-Willlam

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

Hot weather always starts those
quick chemical changes which pro-

vegetables, milk and food products.
Such summer poisons in foods not
only make we'll stomachs sick but de-
velop with dangerous rapidity In
sensitive, sick or ailing stomachs and
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-
tralizes these poisons, too much acid

GOOD HOG FEED FROM WASTE
Utilization OF Garbage Possible In
Production Of Pork and Fats
During War Period.

prepared by the United States Depart
matt OF Agrlcnlture,)
Feeding garbage to hogs is in keep
ing with the national movement for
the utilization of waste products and
for increasing the production of pork
and fats, at least during the war.
There is reason to believe, how
ever, that many of these emer-
gency enterprises win prove to be
sufficiently remunerative to remain
permanent after the war, especially II
hogs are fed on garbage from cities Of
10000 or more, from which, doubtless,
the garbage will be disposed of and
utilized In this manner. Already this
method Of feeding has produced good
results, and many who have entered
the field probably would not have en-
gagged In the production Of pork under
any other conditions. owing to the

''If the Lusitania were now floating

manufacture of beer in this country
would furnish fuel for 726 round trips
for the giant ship and transport 2S,-
