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
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 tine 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. 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..

sample bottle. When writing be sure and

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 ard sat down alone to cogi-
tate. The postman appeared with
letter from Mary and small bundle.

his eyes on framed portrait OF his

they took to their depths a dreamy

a series OF pictures born of the vivid

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
n 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.

Robert Adams visited, a carpenter
