Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
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 ID
soon realized. It 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 30
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 .

Little glass "eye droppers" were ex-
tensively used in dropping shenac
onto illuminate Of mercury and pow
der in fuse parts to prevent absorp-
ton OF moisture. Thousands of gal
Ions of .shellac were used to help
keep moisture from the powder and
women workers were expert in its
application. and particularly in plac-
ing thin tissue paper upon II so that
it would lie fat upon the fuse rings.
Paper Shoppers and soap.
Paper shoppers for milk bottles play
ed no small part in the work. It was
necessary that no particles of dirt
get inside the shells after the various
parts except the fuse had been put in.
It was found that milk-bottle shoppers
would exactly fit into the nose OF the
shells, and they were used by the hum
dreds of thousands. Likewise thous-
ands Of shoppers were placed in the
powder tubes leading from the nose to
the powder chamber at the base OF
the shell and ten-penny nails found
extensive use for the Same purpose.
Few persons have an idea that soap
played a great part in winning the
war. The use of oil for lubricating
cutting tools of high-speed lsthes was
almost impracticable because of the
initial cost and the waste. Hence. a
soap mixture was used by the thous-
ands Of gallons to make possible the
cutting OF shell steel at high speed
and preventing damage to the tools.
It was forced through the oil systems
OF the lathes by special pumps.
Steel tongs very similar to the ordi-
nary household tongs were used to
handle the shell cases when they were
hot, and trucks modelled after the
type of tea carriages were usel to
transfer parts from one operation to
another. The plain electric fan was
worked overtime cooling shell parts
that work might proceed at the earl
lest possible time.

WOMAN WORKERS VALUE
DUE TO HOME EXPERIENCE

Baltimore. Nd. May 3.-The sue
cess of women workers in the pro-
duction of munitions of war was.
no doubt. due to the number of
ordinary household articles used in
their manufacture. A trip through
any plant engaged In the produce
tion of ammunition will reveal the
important part played by these
simple articles. The Bartlett Hay
ward Company employed $500 wom-
en-. There were women who op-
Grated lathes and presses and load
ed shells, but this number was small
compared to those engaged in the
production of fuses, in inspection
work and similar light work.
Throughout the shops almost
every article used in the household
played its part in the production
OF war materials. Time fuses to
set on the powder in a shrapnel
shell required alone thousands of
women who of necessity were pa
tient. diligent workers on this tedi-
Gus task. for a 21-second fuse con-
tains some forty parts. To handle
these, small tweezers played an i'm
aided in assembling many others.
Extreme Care Necessary.
To prevent chemicals in the powder
from acting upon the metal, 1t was
necessary that every part or the metal
touched by 1t should be painted with
a special paint. The brushes for this
work were necessarily of the smallest
possible size. Again some Of the steel
parts OF the shells had to be painted
with red lead, particularly the dia-
phragm and powder tubes. and upon
completion OF the shell the outside
case had to be carefully painted SO
that the paint could not touch the
copper rotating band. All this work
had to be done at top speed and the
women who worked at painting be-
came experts.
