THE CAMEL COUSINS.
~ MARY GRAHA0 BONNER

"How-do-you-do," said the two Camel
cousins as they arrived in the zoo.
There were three other camels there
already which slightly disappointed the
two Camel cousins, for they wanted to
receive all the attention.
"We've just arrived" said the two
Camel cousins.
The three other camels said nothing.
They all looked as If they weren't in
the least bit interested in anything else
except their food, and they were chew

from side to side.
After a little bit one Of the three
camels smiled, then the second, and
last the third.
"What are you smiling at?" asked
the Camel cousins.
"Nothing!" said the three camels.
1t was the first answer they had
made, and the two Camel cousins were
pleased that at least they had been
noticed.
II suppose" said Campbell Camel,

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
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..

Moreover. everyone knows that the first great

ports show there are 81 agricultural centers In
operation in France, but Miss Harper was in

with my figures but with the impression they Gre

yet in the forefront of scientific agriculture.

do is to cooperate in the agricultural movement.

you now.
"Of course, that one farm will not solve the
whole problem of the war mutile At least, 1t will

repair will have been accomplished. quarters for

are. And they probably have a very
good idea of where we came from.
They had said all this aloud, and
after they had finished praising them
selves up they began to grin too.
Suddenly one of the three camels
looked up. "What are you smiling

"Nothing" said Campbell Camel.
Soon the other Camel cousin, whose
name was Charlie Camel, began to

"What are brains?" asked the three
other camels.
''They are things in the head to think
with and when people are clever they
say they have great brains," said
Campbell Camel.
"They don't sound interesting" said
the three other camels, still grinning,
and still chewing.
They're not" said Campbell Camel.
"It's SO much nicer to be just plain
stupid"
"Thats what we all are" said the
three camels.
"We're glad to hear it." said Charlie
Camel. "Then we can be friends"
"And We'll all chew and grin as much
as we like. and not mind what anyone
says about us, eh?" asked Campbell
Camel.
"Good idea," said the others. Eyes,
that's fine" and then their grins grew
wider.
"We've come from the desert" said
the Camel cousins.
Anything new out there7" asked the
other camels.
"Just sand and carrying people and
things on ones back-the same life as
always" said Charlie.
''It was like that when we were
there" said the three other camels.
"But how did you two come here to

camels.

is, but anyhow he exchanged that mon

'Grinning is so much more sensible
than bleating, and poor sheep haven't
any humps at all. Poor, poor sheep"
they all said.
"But don't let 1t make us unhappy"

Look and Feel Clean, Sweet and
 Fresh Every Day
Drink a glass of real hot water before breakfast to wash
 out poisons.

Life is not merely to live, but to live well, eat well, digest well, work well, sleep we'll, look well. What a glorious condition to attain, and yet how very easy it is if one will only adopt the morning inside bath.
 Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, split ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stag nant matter.
 Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous days indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour lamentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate is quietly ex- tracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs.
 The millions of people who are bothered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a quarter pound of lime stone phosphate from the drug store which will cost very little. but IS sufficient to make anyone pro nounced crank on the subject o1 Internal sanitation.
