CARE FOR SOLDIERS FEET
Army Authorities Particular That
There Shall Be Little Trouble
In That Respect.

"How Is Uncle Sam able to raise suf-
dicient funds to shoe his childrenf'
we might ask just now. when the
prices of shoes are soaring almost
above the average purse.
This question was, however, an-
swered at a recent meeting in ATTAIN
tic City Of the American Leather Chem
lists association, which was also at
tended by several members OF the
American Chemical society. Their dis
cussion on this subject proved most
conciusively that the boys In service
are being provided with the finest quail
sty leather In their army shoes and
that 1t is surpassed by none.
Another interesting fact developed
in their discussion-that the army
shoes are made with the flesh side of
the hide outside. In this way grease
may be readily applied to the leath-
er from time to time In order to keep
II waterproof.
II was most gratifying to learn that
in every flrst-aid kit the soldier carries
a tube of paste to apply to the feet In
order to prevent trench sores. which
were so common in the early days of
the war. These sores are caused by
the alkaline water in the trenches, but
II the feet are promptly protected by
IN inert grease no such bad effects
result.
Thus we see that Uncle Sam is deal
ing with the question of the army shoe
from the soldiers viewpoint of COM
fort and protection. as well as from his
own standpoint of the wearing quail
ties. The government recognizes that
the soldiers feet are his best friend
and II is doing everything to help to
keep them so.

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

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-
iected is because kidney trouble is so COM
mon to the American people, and the large
majority Of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from report from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there 10 one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root il
soon realized. It stands the highest fol

an herbal compound and We. would ad
wise our readers who feel in need of such Z
remedy to give it q trial. It is on sale
