SOME MORE ABOUT

II is altogether proper that the peo
pIe of the United States know these
things. In fact 1t is Of the utmost
importance for the people OF the
United States to know these things
they may be asked to give their sons
for military service in another war,
and they should know something OF
the workings Of the court martial
and other incidents of army Efe.
In that hearing before the Senate
Military Committee, for instance and
IN the House debate upon the subject
OF military courts, it was brought out
that one young man was given a
sentence Of twenty years for refusing
to peel potatoes when ordered to DO

given himself to Uncle Sam tc peel
notatoes. This boys name is Private
frederick Leighton. A captain gave
the order. In addition. to the SEN

generosity, eliminated the dishonor'

HIGHER EDUCATION IN JAPAN
(By Associated Press.)

Toxic, Feb. 27.-The Ministry Of
Education has prepared a plan foy
the extension Of higher education to
cover the next six years and to cost
about $22,OOO,OOO. Part of this ex-
pense has been provided by a gift OF
$5'OO0,OO0 from the Emperor.
1t is intended to establish SO new
and high technical schools and to
raise all the higher schools to the
grade of colleges. This would pro-
vide for the teaching of thousands OF

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-Roo 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 so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons 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

Less Wool Used.

Reports from manufacturers as re-

there was less wool used in February
than at any time since such statistics
have been compiled. The February
consumption amounted to 27500,000
pounds in the grease, compared with
63, 100000 pounds in February of last
year. Strikes whlchRshut down mills
and the inability of small mills to Sc
cure wool because the wool sold by
the government ut auction was sold
on cash basis, furnished the reason
for the small February consumption.
