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
its remarkable record of success.
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 60
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 4 Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for q
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

RECONSTRUCTION IS
OF BIG IMPORTANCE
Tine to Spruce Up Car Neglected
During Great War.
Col. Arthur Woods, Assistant to Sec
retary Of War. Recommends EN-
pioyment Of Returning SOL
diers to Make Repairs.

How about your motor car? or
course. you let her lose class some
what during the war. 1t was unpa-
car at time when American indus
try was working at top speed to pro-
duce the material necessary for the
winning of the war.
But the war Is over. Labor Is no
longer scarce. In fact, there are TO-
OOC soldiers being dismissed every day
from the service, and these men Will
have rather a difficult time of 1t until
the industries Of the country can re-
is the time to spruce up that motor
car. to put that necessary coat of paint
on and to overhaul 1t generally. You
will be doing a patriotic service 10 the
country in getting soldier or two to
do this work for you. Col. Arthur
Woods, assistant to the secretary of
war, recommends the employment of
ex-service men for such reconstruction
work.
There is no more need for emergency
economy. Minor repairs add to the
life of things. Paint adds life to the
body of the car. Spruce up your en-
gine. Renew those worn parts. Your
car will go quicker. will run smoother,
and wear on it will be lighter.
Materials are expensive now
paints, machine parts, cost more than
they used to few years ago. But
they will save more than their value
In their service to the car.
Don't wait for materials to come
down. They won't. Rather is the
contrary to be expected. And If you
wait little too long, you will have to
put on an extra coat of paint. and
more parts win wear out. "Spruce
up" your car now.

Motor Truck Can Pull Trailer where Road. Al. Good

Now that farmers are buying motor
trucks in large numbers, 1t is desirable
that these trucks show not only an
economical performance but also that
they pay as big returns on the invest
ment as is possible to make them. AS
one power farmer expressed it not
long ago, the motor truck takes the
last drudgery out of farming. This is
a whole lot to say, but many owners
are finding 1t true. Not only that
they are also finding that the truck
makes money by saving money in re-
ducing production and marketing costs.
Advantages Of Truck.
One of the big advantages of the
truck is that 1t brings the market
many hours, and even days, nearer the
farm; and another factor in this con-
nection which operates to bring farm
and market still closer is the trailer
behind the truck. Where conditions
are favorable 10 its use. the trailer
should be considered an essential part
Of truck equipment.

HELPS PAY FOR GOOD ROADS
In 1918 Nearly 81 Per Cent Of Motor
Vehicle Tax Was Applied to
Highway improvement.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The increase In motorcar registra-
tions and revenues In the United
States during the past dozen years
represents some interesting compari-
sons. This is especially true in re-
spect to the use made of the revenues.
In 1905 the total registrations were ap-
proximately $4,000 cars. paying a gross
revenue of about $193,00O, or roughly
the same as the returns from the Dis
trict of Columbia for the year 1918.
Furthermore In 1905 the gross regis
tration revenues represented less than
three-tenths of / per cent of the total
rural road and bridge expenditures for
that year. In 1918 the motor-vehicle
revenues represented approximately
21 per cent of the total road and
bridge expenditures for that year. Fur
thermore, while in 1906 practically
none Of the motor-vehicle revenues
were applied to road construction or
maintenance, in 1918 nearly 81 per
cent Of the gross returns. or S46.935.-
SOL, were devoted to this purpose in
40 states, and of the total amount ap-
piled to road work n per cent, or
$50, ,161 ,473, was expended more or less
directly under the control or super
vision of the state highway depart
ments.

Trucks are usually equipped with
motors having considerable reserve
power, which is provided for pulling
heavy loads up grades or over bad
roads. If hauling to and from the farm
is over fairly level, improved roads, as
Is the case in a great many instances,
the motor truck even when loaded to
capacity is capable of hauling a trailer,
thus being able to handle nearly twice
the normal rated capacity of the truck
without overlooking 1t.
Danger in Practice. af
There Is danger. however in this
practice of hauling trailers behind
trucks. because some owners are sure
to use them when highway and other
conditions are not favorable. The
harm in doing this comes in overload
Ing the truck motor beyond the ca
pacity at which 1t will work econom-
ically and efficiently, which Is prob
ably the worst punishment that cali
be given truck.-Power Farming.

He Draw. Hearts Of Men.

On that day when our Lord Jesus
Christ was lifted up, all sorts of peo-
pie were drawn to him. There were
those who loved him dearly at the foot
of the Cross. There were scribes. and

priests and common people. There
were simple peasants from the coun-

motley crowd from the city streets.
There were Roman soldiers and Cali

BREST PLEASANT
EXCEPT FOR MUD
AND RAIN -bAKER
Secretary of War Admits Con-
ditiOnS Of American Soldiers
at French Seaport May Be
Rather Uncomfortable.

Washington, Feb. l7.-Senator
Robert l.. owen of Oklahoma city will
be invited to tell the senate military
committee Of conditions at the Ameri-
can embarkation camp at Brest, which
he sharply criticised in statement to-
day after his arrival in New York
from France.
Secretary Baker also expects Sena-
tor owen to call at the war depart
ment soon to inform officials there of
what he saw at this much discussed
center of the American army'S home
ward movement.
Secretary Baker said today he was
delighted that Senator owen had been
al the camp ana after reading what
the senator had to say, declared the
war department was combing every
source for additional shipping to bring
the troops home.
As to the crowding at Brest,'' the
secretary continued. Il have not the
means Of knowing what the answer to
that is / have been told-and / do
not like to say that | have been told
because it sounds so unauthortative--
hut | have been told that the French
railroad congestion is such that ii is
necessary for US to use the French
railroads when we can get them,
They are using them in their own de-
mobilization, and for the British. and.
as u consequence, we have to use
them when we can get them.
Baker Doesn't Know.
THAT might mean sending more
people into Brest and keeping them
longer than we would desire them to
be there in anticipation of the known
capacity of the transport fleet in or
der to make sure to have enough men
there when the transports come in.
That is the answer | have heard from
Officers who hay returned to this
country but whether any error has
been made about that and the French
railroad difficulty has been overasti
mated. | cannot say because | don't
know.
when the senator says 'unsani-
tary,' | do not think he means unsan-
itary in the sense that it is unclean.
There are simply oceans of mud
there, | know that because | was at
3rest substantially at this time last
year. 1t rains there $50 days out of
565 and sometimes five times a day.
The mud seems to be our big trouble
there
The secretary added that returning
officers and others who had passed
through Brest recently, had told HIM
food conditions were very good and
that outside the weather and the mud
they saw little TO complain of. He
said he could well imagine the feeling
Of the men waiting in that camp for
returning ships, however, and fully
sympathized with all the discomfort
and unhappiness that this waiting
under unpleasant conditions entailed.
AS an instance of the arrangements
for feeding the troops at Brest, Mr..
Baker said he had been told of a day
recently when 5000 men were served
wit ha total of 10000 hot cakes.
When you think of mess cooking
for soldiers" he said, cooking flap
jacks for them is going about the
limit
