Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

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.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on 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
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 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..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

DISCUSSION OVER
FIRE ORDINANCES
CONTINUED from First Page

sible to build it solid; that requiring
the chimney to be placed two inches
from the wall provided a perfect dirt
catcher behind. Not only all this, he
declared, but the builders are put to
much extra expense.
Then Councilman wilkinson had his
inning. He explained that he knew
there was a difference between the
expense of a single-brick and a
double-brick chimney, but said the
council is only coming up to the re-
quirements of the Board of Under
writer's with the end in view of secur-
ing a substantial reduction in fire in
urance premiums. The matter has
already been taken up with the under
writer's to see if different specifica-
tons for chimney building cannot be
obtained which will make it easier for
the builders and still satisfy the un-
derwriters to an extent sufficient to
enable them to grant the desired re-
duction in insurance rates. No reply
had been received from the under
writer's concerning the affair. Until
satisfactory information is obtained
on the subject the fire ordinance will
stand as it is.
Fire Warden Rougon reported that
six new houses have been built re-
Gently, none of which complies with
the fire ordinance regulations, par
ticularly in regard to chimheys. 1t
appears that the builders of these
houses did not even go to the trouble
of securing a building permit from
the city. 1t was decided to have the
city attorney take up the cases, the
opinion of the council being hat the
law must be observed and if not they
intend to force the issue.
Dogs and dog licenses were the
next subjects. Too many dogs was
one complaint, too much chasing of
automobiles, too much running around
loose were others, and the fact that
licenses had not been taken out for
most of them was the GROWING OBJ
lection. Ways and means of dispos-
ing of xcess dogs were discussed, the
feasibility of just shooting nuisance
dogs without licenses being contem-
plated. The members seemed to be
in favor of leniency on this question,
however, and thought that if it could
be arranged to impound the dogs it
would be much better. But then
arose the question of a building in
which to impound them and a dog
catcher to do the work. The efforts
of the council members to secure a
poundmaster have been fruitless. One
member thought he had found a man
who would accept the job and would
be satisfactory, but it developed that
the man had a wife and she said she'd
leave him" if he took the job. So
the matter rests.
The application of Joe Pougon for
an increase in pay was brought up.
Rougon is fire warden, superintendent
of W and a few other things. His
pay o is 800 per month, which he
says is hardly suffciea@ to meet his
needs. Opinion of the council mem
bers seemed to be divided as to
whether to raise his pay to s125 per
month or not, so the matter was laid
over.
