Get New Kidneys !

The kidneys are the most overworked
organs of the human body, and when they
fail in their work of fltering out and
throwing off the poisons developed in the
system, things begin to happen.
One of the first warnings is pain or stiff
ness in the lower part of the back; highly
colored urine; loss of appetite; indiges-
ton; irritation, or even stone in the blad-
der. These symptoms indicate a condition
that may lead to that dreaded and fatal
malady, Bright's disease. for which there
is said to be no cure.
Do not delay minute. At the first in
dication of trouble in the kidney. liver.

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. 1t stands the highest for
it's 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 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,

However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

Robert Adams did not resent the
straightforward talk of his visitor. He
was just in frame of mind where the
suggestions implanted might take root.
He nodded a thoughtful adieu to his
relative and sat down alone to cOgi-

half a dozen handkerchiefs and two
neckties. All of them bore initials
or some ornamental needlework, and
his face softened as he realized how
many plodding hours his wife had de-
voted to the task to give him pleasure.
Then he smiled grimly. AS he fixed
his eyes on framed portrait Of his
helpmeet his eyes grew tender. Then
they took to their depths a dreamy
tinge. Before his mental vision passed
a series of pictures born of the vivid
suggestions of the day.
"Why, not?" he cried abruptly, COM

CANADA'S NEW
DEvELOPNE
After the War a Period of Pros
perity.

1t Is evident that the Government Of
the Dominion in it's programme of re-
construction and development is TN
dertaking a work of tremendous i'm
portance. There will be available the
labor for work that has been silent
since 1914, and the rehabilitation of
this labor will entail the thought and
energy Of most capable heads. The
transition period from war to peace
will be rapid and thorough, and, in
stead of Canada sinking into a state
of lethargy, there will be continued
period of wakefulness that will give
employment to the unemployed, and
render to the capitalist and producer
ample return for his money, effort
and enterprise.
The agricultural potentialities of
the great Canadian West possess illim-
table acres of the best of soil, capable
of producing millions of bushels Of
the best of grain. The cost of grow
ing this is lower than any place on
the continent. There will be a greater
demand than ever for these lands, the
consequent production will be heavier
and the profits attractive. Cattle
industry will be one of the chief de-
velopments, and the encouragement of
it will lie in the continued high prices
that beef products will bring. Euro
pean countries have been depleted of
cattle, and the demand for beef, cattle
and dairy products will tax the efforts
of the producer for years to come.
Western Canada offers unequaled
opportunities for development in this
line.
In the Canadian West plans are be-
ing laid for the development of elec-
trical power which can be produced
cheaply. There is an abundance Of
coal and water power that could be
used in developing this useful energy.
What cheap power produced in this
way will mean to the farmer and de-
velopment of Industrial enterprises
cannot be estimated in figures.
More extensive development of the
water power at Niagara, on the st.
Lawrence and at waterfalls all over
the country, is ready to be launched.
Peace will see new mine fields
opened up, and it is equally certain
that shipbuilding, railway equipment,
steel production, and many of the in
dustries will go forward with q
bound.
Canadian industries will be required
in the reconstruction Of Europe, and
already the Canadian Government has
sent across the seas a commission for
the purpose of securing orders. Can
ada took an early and prominent part
in the war, and in the days Of peace
will be found equally active. She feels
that by the valor and loyalty Of her
people she has earned large share
of the business and prosperity that
will follow the war period, and she
proposes to get it.-Advertisement.

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

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

And the result is that they die ahead

Robert Adams visited a 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 hair trim, but a shampoo and
half a dozen special unguents.
The renovated husband of Mary Ad-
ans dallied 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 we'll 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 a feminine form ar
rayed in neat velvet hat and pretty
plush coat. She had turned her face
toward the station light.
Mary ~ he cried, but unbelievingly,
as he viewed her strange attire.
"Oh, Robert!" she replied, and has
tened eagerly toward him, but halt
ed with a quick shock Old DObbin
looked ten years younger than when
she had last seen him. The sleigh glis-
tened like newly FURNISHED chariot.
And Robert she feasted her eyes on
this apparent subject of the fountain
of youth.
"I-I didn't know YOU" she STAN
mered.
''Nor I you," said Robert-'all dolled
up in new togs."

me a famous Christmas present and

was in a daze as she was ushered
into the house. Then she put her arms
around his neck and kissed him.
"What does this wonderful magic
mean?" she fluttered.
''It means-hark there go the bells,
Ginning out the old year. 1t means

arm about her waist-"the newest

SIRl For the first time dur
ing twenty years of mar
ried life Robert Adams helpmeet had
taken vacation, or rather had gone
on visit to an invalid sister, and her
husband had begun to miss her Woe
fully. So smoothly had life gone, so
many burdens had Mary lifted from
his shoulders in her patient, plodding
way, that he missed her guiding, help
full presence dreadfully. She had left
everything in trim order. The house
was neat as pin, everything provided
for comfort to his hand, but the irk-
Someness of the intense solitude was

The percentage of casualties among
