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
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jectcd is because kidney trouble is SO
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. 1t is on sale
Mt all drug stores in bottles of two sizen,
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.

Women ncuItlvateu Mustache.


The Anus, the "Celtic" race of
Japan, live in the island of Yeddo.
The most noticeable popularity about
Ainu women Is that they have tat
tooed on their upper and lower lips
what resembles q mustache. The
women are not considered attractive
without this decoration, and their
matrimonial prospects are quite in
jured unless 1t appears.
The mustache Is begun when the
girl is quite child, until 1t extends
partly across the cheek, the material
used being the SCOT from burning
birch bark. The face is cut and the
black rubbed in. Afterwards 1t Is
washed in solution Of ash bark
liquor to fix the color.
The Ainu women are said to be
usually finely formed, straight and
well developed, with small hands and
feet. Their eyes are a beautiful soft
brown, their hair black and most lux
uriant and their complexion olive,
with often q deep, rich color in their
cheeks.
The native cloth-of which their
garments are made-is woven from
the fiber Of the bark of the elm tree.

Thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro.Phosphata
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Visor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose of making
thin people fieshy, developing arms, neck
and bust and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines Of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thnness.
Thinness and weakness are often due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so we'll as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro- phosphate, which is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under n guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. BY feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the nee
essary phosphoric food elements btro-
phosphate should produce a welcome
transformation in the appearance; the in
crease in weight frequently being aston
ishing.
Increase in weight also carries with II
q. general Improvement in the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, should disappear. dull
eyes become bright. and pale checks glow
with the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION: - Although bitro-p phosphate
Is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleeplessness and general weakness. it
should not, owing to its tendency TO in
crease weight, be used by anyone who
does not desire to put on flesh.

The Missiles of War
Providence Journal


 It appears from a study of the bat tie casualties in the American Ex0c- dltionary Forces. made by the statis, tlcal branch of the general staff, that shrapncl and inc rife ball are still the most effective missiles, as they nave been for more than hundred years, for all the terrible novelties Introduced during the war. The com pllation Of 222,252 cases does not in clude the killed in battle being based on hospital records, but ii may be as sumed that the causes of deaths in acton were in about the same pro- portion as of the wounded II was impossible, of course, to determine the cause of the wound in every case More than seventy-six thousand in Jurles that received treatment, of which ten per cent. resulted in death, are listed as "unclassified.'
 Shrapnel may be described as a steel cylinder filled with bullets and a bursting charge. It was the pre- ferred shell in the artillery of every nation until Germany introduced the high explosive shell, which the Brit ish and French adopted only after bitter experience. But shrapnel was not abandoned by the Germans That they made much use of it is shown by the record of 32, ,753 American sol dlers wounded by 1t, of which num- Der six per cent. died in hospitals
 It was shrapncl that caused all the armies to adopt the tin" hat which undoubtedly saved them many cas- uaIt1cs So far as is practicable the shell is timed to burst while still a few feet above ground and in the carly period Of the war wounds in the head were so numerous as to arrest attention and call for rrotective equip ment Shrapnel, the invention of a British artillery officer. for whom it is named has been credited with turn ing the tide Ct battle at Waterloo. and 9 century later it's incomparable ef- fcctiveness seems to have been dem onstratcd again.
 The rifle ball. missile of the ma chine gun as well as of the infantry weapon. accounted for 1e.52S of tho recorded casualties, and shells of various sort, other than shrapnel. for 16,74O. The mortality from these shell wounds was very high, twelve per cent, as compared to five for the rifle ball.
 Gas may be considered as in a class by itself The casualties, more than seventy-four thousand, far outnum- bered those from any of the missiles / though the mortality was only two per cent. The harm done by hand grenades, mines, bombs and flaming liquid was almost negligible, so far as our army was concerned; the grenade's score S70, with mortality of eight per cent, being the highest.

GRENADE BANKS SCRAPPED
War Department Feared Boishcvikt '
 Might Reload Them

St. Louis. Nov. 1.-The war de- partmcat found recently it had surplus of thousands of hand gre nades. It was decided to remove th" explosives and convert the grenades into savings banks for public use. Thirty thousand of the grenade banks were shipped to Marvin F. Singleton, Chief of the St Louis ordnance dis trict of the United States army.
 Suddenly there came ain order for the ordnance department to com mandeer the banks, dismantlc and sell them for scrap iron. Fear that the grenades might fall into the hands of Bolshevlki and be reconverted into bombs caused the war department tn order the grenade banks destroyed.

COOLIDGE RUNNING
 FOR REELECTION
Massachusetts Governors Action in Police Strike Will Have Bear
 ing On Outcome.

Boston. Nov. 4.-Voters in eXcep- tional numbers for an "off year. cleo tion went to the polls in Massachusetts today to register their verdict on Gov ernor COoldge's course in the recent strike of pol ce in this city.
 Although the league of nations and economic issues were given prominent places in the platforms of the two ma jOr parties, they assumed positions relatively subordinate to the law and order' issue advanced by republicans in what proved to be the hardest fought state campaign in years.
 Both parties had concentrated their efforts in the industrial Centers Rich ard H. Long, the democratic opponent of Governor Coolidge, carried on a most vigorous campaign in these sec tions appealing especially to the work CTS.
 Drastic police regulations were in effect in this city where state guards men are still on duty as a result of the police strike. Gatherings of more than two persons were forbidden about the polling places. Troops and reserve patrolmen were held ready for emer- gencies in districts known to contain many sympathizers of the striking policemen.

The Proposed Preamble.

(Ncw Haven Journal Courier)
 The objection to the preamble which the senate committee on for eign relations have agreed upon as necessary 10 q full understanding of the reserved or interpreted treaty of peace and covenant of the league of nations on the part ct the other nations and covenant of the league tour negotiating nations is possessed of form rather than of substance It provides that thcsc four nations shall state that they accept the reservations made to inc document before it may be considered to be in effect
 We have at no time thought that such an enlarged reservation was nec- essary., but we cannot for the life of us understand how the lack of neces- sity for it can be enlarged into a vii tai objection. The other method would be for the treaty to be report ed 10 the four nations, who have al- ready ratified it, with the American reservations when, if no objections were raised by any one or more of them, it would be taken for granted that they were satisfactory. This has been the unWrittcn rule where treaties have been similarly reserved and no trouble has resulted. na- ton failing to note it's dissent or dis satisfaction with the reservations made would have a difficult job bas- ing a test case later on the failure of the reserving nation 10 live up to the original text in a given instance. We should be perfectly willing to take whatever risk might be involved in that dem onStraton of confidence.
 On the other hand, it is hard 10 sec why nation proposing through ac- Quiesence to assent to the reservation should be hesitant 10 say so by means of the conventional diplomatic chan ne1S. If the signing nations desire an explanation for the preamble, 1t can with truth be said that the com mitteC Of the senate has encountered great difficulties in familarizing themselves with the history Of the treaty manufacture, and has at all times lacked the necessary informa- ton which should have been gladly placed at their disposal Other na- tions can be assured that no reflection on their sincerity or dignity is con- templated but rather the removal of all doubt from their minds of what the reservations seek to convey. They want to be sure that the attitude of America is understood in advance Of cooperation.
