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 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 on the subject, made. the as.
tonishing statement that one reason why
60 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-
lions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 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. Y, for .
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

Tennis 800 Years Old.

1t may be claimed that lawn tennis
is ut least three centuries old, having
been played in 1891 when Queen Eliza
beth was entertained at Elvetham, in
Hampshire, by the earl of Hartford.
Strut, quoting from Nichols Progress
of Queen Elizabeth" tells us that
"after dinner, about 8 o'clock, ten Of
his lordship's servants, all Somerset
shire men, in square green court, be-
fore her majesty's window, did hang
up lines, squaring out the form of a

DAY OF UNIVERSAL PRAISE
For All Its Blessings the Nation Lifts
Its Hands to the Lord in
Grateful Thanks.

Such sentiment as is aroused by the
great day whose yearly coming sounds
the note of praise for multimillion
souls, could not be set to poets verse
or framed in choral chant. Deep down
where underlying are the sentiments
that sanctify, reside the feelings CEN
tering in the day whose glad advent
is tuned to thoughts of peace and
praise to the one above from whose
wide-open hands bestowments come,
such as have never yet been known to
other nations of the earth. Into the
churches at the usual hour the wor-
shippers will pour and from their doors,
when comes the end of praise and
song, will pass those worshipers again,
with loftier views and freer minds and
with their souls tuned to the senti-
ments that are expressed from all the
pulpits Of the nation on the day on
which the people offer their thanks
to God.
For all the blessings to the land,
this day the nation lifts it's hands in
humble praise; for all the blessings
to the homes the land lifts up its eyes
to God in gratitude; for all the signal
signs of Gods goodwill the land will
give its praise in thought, in word, in
act. Although the curtain of the fu-
ture falls across the vistas and the
prospect hides, no one has fear the
land will not be free from all the
harsh disorders of the earth, and saved
to sanctify the world anew to the
pleasant things of peace and lasting
joy. For the bright prospect of the
nations use in the fast-crowding years
to come, the people give their praise
and in their prayers they lift their
thoughts with faith to the Lord, who
says in perfect peace he Keeps the
ones whose thoughts and hearts are
stayed on him. For all his ways are
pleasantness, his paths are peace, the
psalmist says.
So for its cheer, for its gift of peace,
so for the record of blessings felt and
those in prospect yet, the people give
their heartfelt thanks, making this day
that sees other nations wrecked by the
battles effect, day peculiar for its
cause for praise. And thus, though
sobered, will the cheer abound in
myriad hearts on this great day for
praise and giving thanks.

err, was the goddess of cornfields and
harvests. Her daughter, Persephone,
while gathering flowers one day, was
kidnapped by Pluto. Demeter searched
for her long by land and sea, and at
last learned that her lost daughter had
been married to Pluto, the dark spec
ter of the underworld, and that she
was now his queen in the realm be-
low. But Persephone had eaten a
pomegranate seed and could remain
with her mother only part of the year.
This made Demeter angry, and she left
the gods and made her dwelling upon
the earth. She taught Celeus, king Of
Eleusis, agriculture, how to pillow, sow
and reap. This feast was one of the
grandest of the Greek festivals.
The Romans celebrated a harvest
festival called the Cerealia. 1t took
it's name from Ceres, who was the
Demeter of the Romans, and the feast
was celebrated at some time in the
month of October. Sacrifices of the
best fruits and honey cakes were Of
fered up in the temple. Professions
were made to the fields by men and
women dressed in white and crowned
with oak leaves and poppies.
Coming down to a more modern
time, we read of thanksgivings in Hol-
land and in England, the recollection
Of whose harvest homes" perhaps,
inspired the Puritans to inaugurate the
custom in this country. The first
Thanksgiving on American soil, ac-
cording to the well credited chronicler,
Edward Winslow, was held in 1921, 10
months after the landing Of the Pill
grims, when, the crops being garnered,
they felt spring up within their hearts
feeling of praise and thanksgiving.
1t lasted almost. week, and was par
ticipated in by King Massasoit and
90 of his braves, who were Toasted and
entertained for three days, the new
corners showing their guests their pro-
ficiency in arms, expertness in wres-
Ting, etc. To show their proves In
turn, "the Indians went out and killed
five deer, which they brought to the
plantation and bestowed on the gov
ernor and upon Captain Miles Standish
and Others" fine contribution to the
feast.

Horse Stealing In Berlin.

Thirty-five to forty horses are stolen
each day in Berlin, and very small
percentage are ever returned to the
owners, despite the creation of spe-
cial police department to combat this
evil. The horses disappear forever be-
cause they are usually Immediately
slaughtered and the meat sold through
Illicit trade channels.
The thieves watch for teams, the
drivers of which have left them for
a moment, and drive the horses away.
If the wagons contain anything of val
use, it is stolen and the horses are TAX
en- to secret barns and sheds, or even
to wooded suburban sections, and kill
ed Immediately.
Insurance companies that used to in
sure horses and teams, will do so no
more.
