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
90 many applicants for insurance are re
jected Is because kidney trouble is 20 com
mon 70 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. It is on sale
at all drug stores IN bottles Of two sizes,
medium and large.

great preparation send ten cents 10 Dr.

DAIRY
FACTS
STUDY NEEDS or LIVE STOCK
DaIrynen and Stock Raisers Are eau
toned to Feed Only Balanced
Ration to Animals.


prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricu1ture,)
In order to save feed-to see that
none of 1t is wasted-dairyme and
live stock men should study the needs
of their animals and see that only the
required feed is given in a balanced
ration. This is particularly impor-
tant at the present time, since an in
crease in feed and more live stock
are needed to supply the needs of this
nation and the allies.
To reduce the problems involved in
the selection of feeds on the basis of
their nutritive value-whieh are meas
ured In terms of protein, carbohydrate,
and fat contents-in order to make
them apply to everyday feeding, has
not been simple. In a bulletin re-
Gently issued by the United States de-
partment of agriculture tables are
given which make the balancing of
rati0ns a simple matter of multiplica-
ton and division. 1t is explained that
protein, carbohydrate, and fat con-
tents of a feedstuff are not the only
factors affecting its feed value. Pro-
TENS differ in their nutritive quail
ties, while some substances not In
cluded in the classes mentioned are
necessary to the proper maintenance
of the bodily functions. The palata-
bility and succulence of a feed has
much to do with it's value as feed.
Many feedstuffs have physiological eff
fects entirely apart from their nutri-
tive qualities. A ration may be per-
feetly balanced from the standpoint of
relative content of protein and en-
ergy producers, and yet be quite i'm
practicable, the specialists point out,
because it is too bulky or too con-
centrated. Consideration of a feed
stuff or a ration based only on chem
ical composition, therefore, is to be
taken merely as guide, it is ex-
planned, to be followed in the light Of
all the knowledge obtainable about ami
NAL nutrition.
The selling price of feed is not a
reliable guide to its relative feeding
value. The carbohydrate feeds-corn,
oats, barley, kafir, and various others
and the protein feeds-cottonseed
meal, tankage, and brewers grains
are found on the market at various
prices. The feeder desires to know,
with certain given prices, which is
the cheapest feed to buy-the true
value of bushel of oats, rye, or bar
ley for feed when corn is worth sc
cents a bushel. He wishes to know
the value of a ton of brewers grains
linseed meal. or bran when cottonseed
meal is worth $50 ton and corn 81
a busheI. BY the use of the tables
presented in the bulletin, which show
comparative costs based on nutritivt
values, these questions can be an
swered.
