SCIENTIFIC WORK IN RUSSIA
An Ambitious Campaign Of Survey

One Of the most surprising pieces
of news that has come lately from
Russia is that in spite OF untoward
political conditions an ambitious can-
paign of survey work in the Arctic
ocean along the Siberian coast was
undertaken in the summer Of 1918 UNI

geographic Office.
A program Of these undertakings
was published last November in the
Complies Rendus of the French acad-
envy Of sciences by the widely known
oceanographer, Gen. j.. G. Shokalski.

known. Subsequently General ShOkal-
ski has found mean of sending let
tiers on the same subject to- some of
his scientific friends In the United
States.
The explorations were TO be car
ried out by two parties. One, work
ing from the White sea eastward to-
Cape C~helyunskin, was to be under
the command of Captain Vilkitskii,
the ~discoverer of Nicholas II Land
and the leader of the expedition
which made the northeast passage
from Boring strait to the Atlantic
ocean in 191I-15. Another party, sur
veying from Cape C~helyunskin to Be
ring strait, was to be commanded by
Capt. T. A. Novopashennii. Several
new radio stations were to be estab-
lished to facilitate the work of the ex-

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
90 many applicants for insurance are re-
iected is because kidney trouble is 80
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. II 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 q
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.
