A kitchen cabinet Is just as impor-
tant to the housekeeper as the bench
to the workman or the laboratory desk
to the chemist. With it the house
keeper can sit down comfortably with
her whole kitchen workshop easily
within her reach. 1t saves walking to

to prepare the food. And every kitch-
en- should have stool of the right
height to enable the worker to sit at
her work at the cabinet. The home

Is sanitary, convenient, and attractive.
1t is especially suitable and compact
for kitchens in which cabinet space is
limited.
A homemade cabinet can be built

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance OfteA
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
80 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-R Root l.
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
remedy to give it trial It is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.

One afternoon he ran his canoe
ashore on white strip of sand. This
was at a bend, where the stream had
widened and gave promise of at least
few colors. He had bent down close
to the edge of the water when some
thing caught his attention on the wet
sand. What he saw were the footprints
of animals. Two had come down to
drink. They had stood side by side.
And the footprints were fresh-made

Candy is q concentrated food,
and should be eaten with moder-
alton. Though we like it, it is
not a necessity. It is always
best to eat candy as a part of
the meal to replace some other
food. Eating 1t between meals
not only means needless use of
sugar, but often causes a loss
Of appetite for other foods. Ap-
ply this suggestion to the chill
