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
iniluence--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 adj
wise our readers who feel in need of such
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., Bnghamton, N. Y, for q
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

Stared Fixedly at a Feminine Form.

Robert Adams visited carpenter
shop, the town paint store and other
places early the next morning. He
went to the hardware store and ex-
amined the latest In house trimmings.
He spent two hours going over wall
paper stock. He asked each artisan he
consulted one uniform question: Can
you get the work all finished by New
Years eve?"
He amazed the village tailor by or
dering his first suit in five years. He
was a profitable customer for the bar
Der, who not only worked in a shave
and a hair trim, but shampoo and
half n dozen special unguents.
The renovated husband of Mary Adj
ans dallled long at the mirror ere he
went out and took Dobbin out of the
stable. The train was due at ten
o'clock, but it was New Years eve,
travel was heavy and all trains de-
layed, and it was well on toward mid
night when he craned his neck from
the sleigh and eagerly watched the
passengers alight.
An utterance of disappointment
escaped his lips as passenger after
passenger left the platform. Then he
stared fixedly at feminine form ar
rayed in neat velvet hat and pretty
plush coat. She had turned her face
toward the station light.
"Maryr' he cried, but unbelievingly,

"Oh, Robert!" she replied, and has

looked ten years younger than when
she had last seen him. The sleigh glls-
tened like a newly FURNISHED chariot.

TAKE TIME TO LIVE RIGHT.

The season for good resolutions is
approaching. Thousands are resolv-
ing to begin the New Year by COM
mencing some effort at self-improve-
ment.
Most people suffer from poor health
because they say "they haven't time
to take care Of themselves"
The business man knows he needs
exercise, but denies himself because
he hasn't time.
Most people run their lives in such
slipshod fashion that they haven't
time to eat properly, to think proper
ly, and to rest properly.
And the result is that they die ahead
of time because they haven't had time
to live properly.
