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
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root Is
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 ad-
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., Binghamton, N. Y, for .
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

HE PROBABLY HAD VISION
Artemus Ward Said In Jest What To-
day He Night Almost Have Said
In Earnest.

Apropos of the high cost of living in
Washington, the following extract
from one of Artemus Wards stories,
In which he describes visit to the
national capital during the Civil war,
is of interest:
ut is easy enough to see why a man
goes to the poorhouse or the peniten-
tiary. It's becawz he can't help 1t. But
why he should voluntarily 60 and live
in Washington Is intirely beyond my
comprehension, and can't say no fair
er nor that.
Il put up at a leadin' hotel. / saw
the landlord and said:
How dye do, squarer
Fifty cents was his reply.
"SirY
Half q dollar. We charge twenty
five cents for lookin' at the landlord
and fifty cents for speaking to him. II
you want supper, boy will show you
to the dinin' room for twenty-five
cents. Your room is on the tenth
story; 1t will cost you dollar to be
shown up there

GET OUT OF THE LIQUOR BUsi-
NESS, UNCLE SAM.

In 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 fieeces
either Of the other two parties is a
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 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 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 a house equal
In value to the money, plus the COM
fort, increased advantages, social
standing and credit which attends
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
revenue from 1t, is doing the worst
that can possibly be done for the re-
sources of my country.-Prof. John A.
Nichols.

Hot Weather Poisons

How to Keep Your Stomach
Strong, Cool and Sweet

Hot weather always starts those

Such summer poisons In foods mot

These poisons not only generate
gases and fluids which cause that

other stomach and bowel miseries.

COAL VS.. BEER.

COAL VS.. BEER.
''It takes almost a pound Of coal to
produce a pint Of beer" asserts e. FL.
Leach, assistant state fuel admins
traitor Of Ohio.
"If the Lusitania were now floating
the seas. the coal used annually in the
manufacture Of beer In this country
would furnish fuel for 726 round trips
for the giant ship and transport 2S,-
595000 tons of supplies to the allies.
"Coal used for the manufacture OF
beer in Ohio alone would furnish more
than go round trips and carry nearly
100000 tons of supplies year to the
allies.
ut requires 10000 cars. or 5000
trains day to move the raw mate-
rails to the breweries.

the grain In the beer and about the
sugar In the beer, but we have heard
little about the coal in beer. Coal 10

Bean Cake as Food in Japan.

Bean cake, which is produced in
lage quantities in South Manchuria,
has been regarded locally as good for
little else than fertilizer. The Man
churia Daily News now suggests its
use as food, stating that Viscount Ia
jiri, the new mayor of Tokyo, holds
the cake as excellently suited to the
japanese palate. The News states
that bean cake costs only one-third as
much as rice, and contains more nu-
triment than wheat or barley. To pre-
pare 1t for the table the cake is mixed
with an equal quantity of rice.-Com-

ed that when he meets a rattlesnake,
instead Of having bloody encounter
with him, he begins to pick of the

q circle Of cactus pieces; then he picks
them up piece BY piece and puts them
closer to the snake until the poison
ous reptile is shut in close place and,
unable to cross the cactus hedge, he
stings himself to death. That Ii what
