KIDNEY TROUBLE HOT
 EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
 Rejected

An examining physician for one of the prominent life insurance companies, III 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. Kilmers Swamp Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for it's remarkable record of success.
 Ne 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. It 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. ' :, for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.-Adv.

Russian Peasants Hard Life.

The whole existence of the Russian peasant is out of joint He is horn in a world of earth and wood. where hls life Is circumscribed by a log cabin that is matched in fall, when 1t as- sumes an appearance of tidiness, but becomes a huge harp for the March winds to play their woeful dirges on. The thatch Is fed to the few starving animals, and the dispensable wooden props and decorations used to cook dinner with long before the approach of spring. Here between the unplas- tered, undecorated walls he lives with his horse, his pig, his hens-always provided he has any-under the same roof, glad of their sociability and ani- nal warmth, being much in need of both. His home Is one of the maze of zigzaz, lopsided. weather-beaten. bro ken-down izbas that stand huddled to- gether. freezing in Gods solemn peace fitness and uncanny dreaminess. En- chantingly idyllic on canvas, but a dreadful place to live in.

 The language of the Lithuanians has been preserved to this day. Some even say that it is the oldest language in use. It closely resembles the Sanskrit and, in many cases of research work, is the key to it.
 Beat Germans and Mongols.
 The Lithuanians lived in clans until the thirteenth century, when, because of national danger, they banded togeth- CT. They chose Rngaudas as the first grand duke of Lithuania, and he soon collected large army. He defeated the Germans and stopped the western advance of the tfongolians. He like wise defeated the Russians and in- creased the territory of Lithuania con i siderably.
 Mindaugis, the next grand duke, a capable organizer and administrator, continued the work successfully. Ged eminas, shreWd diplomat, as is shown in his correspondence with the popes of Rome and the Teutonic order, was the next grand duke of note. He es- tablished the grand duchy of Lithu- ania on q firm basis, yanquished the Russians. Teutons. and especially the Tartars. and so helped save Europe from the greatest disaster that could have befallen it-invasion and occupa- finn hyr IOnn1IfonG f I uania extended from the Baltic sea to the Black sea. After the death of Gedeminas his two sons, Algirdas and keistutis. reigned, and waged battles with Teutons and Slavs.
 In 1569 a sort of dual Polish-Lithua- nian government was adopted. Even then, Lithuania kept its independence. In the three partitions of Poland the major part of Lithuania was annexed by Russia and the smaller by Germany. Thus Lithuania was removed from the map of the world.
 The people were forbidden to use the Lithuanian language, and the pos- session of any Lithuanian books, even prayer books, was considered a polit- ical crime, and schools teaching Lith- uanian were closed The Russian gov ernment prohibited the use of any type in print but the Russian. The peopla as a result, smuggled in books and newspapers printed In Latin type, from Germany. Eventually the imperial or der was revoked and the use of Latin type re-established. From that time on Lithuanian literature has fiourished, many newspapers having been pub lisAed and many books printed.
 There are probably about 7500,00Q persons of genuine Lithuanian stock. In addition to these, the Lithuanian state would include 100000 Poles, Jews, Russians, and Germans. making a total of 9,00o,000 for Lithuania prop CT. If Lettland should be united with Lithuania 1t would add 2,500,000 Let's, making grand total population of H. 5000O0 for the new nation.

 "These war prices are staggering, he said. "They're very hard to com bat, too. When a man comes along with a simple easy method for bring ing war prices down to the pre-war level, his idea is apt to be about as valuable as Josh's.

Once a Great PrincipaIity.

The Lithuanian nation in the fourth century of our era was living along the coast of the Baltic sea between Riga and Koenigsberg.
 From the tenth to the sixteenth cen tury the Lithuanian principality ex- tended from the Baltic to the Black sea. In that territory were White Russians and Ukrainians or Little Rus sians. White Russians are mostly of Lithuanian stock. Whoever goes from Lithuania to White Russia soon no- tices that the same types, customs and festivities exist there. The language of White Russia Is 25 per cent Lithu- anian. and the attitude of the people toward the Lithuanians is very friendly.
 The Lithuanians are Indo-Aryans, fair, light-haired. blue-eyed, tall. and strong. They are in no way related to the Slav or Teuton. They are said to have crossed from Asia to Europe about 2,000 B. c. They settled along the Black sea. near the mouth of the Danube. Gradually they were driven by other races until they came to the shores of the Baltic, where they final ly settled. Here Lithuanians grew and prospered. They were peaceful folk, never fighting unless attacked, busy with agricultural pursuits, and a few with hunting and fishing. As nation they were prevented from going into manufacturing or into commerce by
