Thousands Have Kidney
 Trouble and Never Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
 Rejected.

Judging from reports from drug gists who are constantly in direct touch with the public. there is one preparation that has been very sue eesssful in overcoming these condi- tions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record Of success.
 An examining physician for one of
 the prominent Life Insurance Com panies, in an interview of the subject, made the astonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large ma jority of those whose applications 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.

RESTORING THE FORESTS.

in the effort to arouse a greater in- terest in forestry in New England the congress now in session at Boston ought to accomplish excellent results it the presentation of the needs and possibilities serves to develop the nroper regard for the situation.
 Forests are valuable not only for the weld of timber Tut for the conserva- ton Of the rainfall in which they, act as a regulator for the brooks and rivers thus insuring not only an ade- gtfate supply for the reservoirs upon which so much dependence is placed but improving the water privileges. And the waternower of this part of the country is something which Is hound 10 undergo much greater de- velopment as the demand for electric current is increased.
 But serious inroads have heen made into the wooded sections throughout the country. States which have al- ways been big lumber producers are today spending millions bringing ma 'erials from other sources, and with such exhaustion of the forests it is quite important that there should be due consideration given to tke nec- cssity of overcoming such impover- ishment. This can be done by re- forestation which will not cnly put to good use land which is not now used but will also mean that another val Uable crop of timber can be cut there- from in due time. Pennsylvania has bought back a million acres for state forests, paying on an average s2.50 ar acre for cut over lands which with their fine timber had once sold for q little over 26 cents an acre. IL is go- ing 10 prove an excellent investment in the days to come and it is an un- dertaking which ought to be more generally followed not only by states bit by individuals.

dren everywhere on earth; and there
was embodied in the peace treaty a
request that the United States gov
ernment issue the invitation to ma
tions participating in the pact-ex-
cept the central powers-and to other
nations subscribing to the covenant
of the league of nations. AS the
Chinese representatives at Paris de-
clined to sign up because of the Shan
tung business, China is also left off
the list of those to whom welcome is
extended.
Congress waswilling that the United
States should issue the call, after
hearing Secretary of Labor Wilson:
but to the authorization in the joint
resolution adopted August last was
added the warning that the President
was not thereby empowered to desig-
nate delegates to the conference "un-
less and until" the Senate had ratified
the peace treaty. The notice to the
President was doubly redundant.
Enactment Of 1918.
Away back on March 4, 1913-the
same day that the law creating the
Department of Labor was approved
President Taft approved an act when
deprived the executive of power to ex-
tend or accept invitation to partici-
pate in any international congress,
conference or like event, without
specific consent of Congress. The
treaty of peace expressly provided for
participation in the annual interna-
tional labor conference only on the
part of those nations party to the
league Of nations.
Not a question Of money is involved.
No appropriation has been made, but
probably s150,00O will be required to
pay the expenses of the occasion. Con-
gress will be asked to put up the
money. But, in the absence of a
treasury and funds to the credit of the
league of nations. the expenditures on
Joint account are to be prorated
among the participating nations in ac-
cordance with the apportionment of
the expense fthe international bu-
reau of the universal postal union.
So the United States will get it all
back if it has no seat in council, and
all but it's share il it does sit in.
Should the United States not be rep
resented, the debate will lack the ap-
proved counsel of some of the wise
ones of the earth in matters economic.
