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 Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success.
 An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview on the subject, made the as tonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are re- jeeted 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. It 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 mention this paper.-Adv.

Emerald Rarest Gem.

Owing to world shortage, emeralds have become the rarest and most ex- pensive of precious stones, says the Straits Times, Singapore. Prices dur Ing the past four years have been bounding up until the emerald is now four times its pre-war price.
 The reason for the scarcity of the stones is the poor output from the Co lombian mines, which are government owned and produce % per cent of the worlds supply. These have not been working for seven or eight years.
 A five-carat stone, sold at London recently, fetched $500 a carat.
 At Anakie, Queensland, Australia. some very beautiful vtvety green sap phires of great brilliance are mined. and the miners are trying to persuade jewellers to accept them as substitutes fer emeraldS.

Keep Your Liver Active, Your System Purified and Free From Colds by Taking Calotabs, the Nausealess Calomel Tablets, that are De-

Next morning your cold has vanished, your liver is active, your system is puri- fed and refreshed and you are feeling fine with hearty appetite for break fast. Eat what you please-no danger.
 Calotabs are sold only in original sealed packages, price thirty-five cents. Every druggist is authorized to refund your money if you are not perfectly delighted with Calotabs.-(Adv.)

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
THE CHURCH OF THE UNITED
BRETHREN

FAIRM0NT, June Is. Editor The
West Virginianl This article is in
tended 10 introduce the Church OF the
United Brethren in Christ to this city
and the surrounding community. 1t
is designed TO correct any misrepre-
sentation Of the church as a denom-
nation; at the same time, give a
clear understanding Of what the
church truly stands for. 10 any who
may have a desire to know. Both the
community and those who join the
church are entitled to this informa-
ton.
The Church Of the United Brethren
in Christ had its origin near the close
Of the 18th century. in Eastern Penn
sylvania. Rev. Philip William Otter
bein, missionary Of the Reformed
church, having received a special
blessing Of the Holy Spirit, started
out 10 tell his experience and held
evangelistic meetings. In one Of these
meetings Rev. Martin Boehm, min
lister OF the Mennonite church, came to
hear 0tterbein. After the service
Boehm stepped up to 0tterbein and
said, I'VE are brethren" Henca the
name OF the church, United Breth-
zen IN Christ"
About the time Of the death Of
ttese two leaders in Isl: and 1918,
re srectively, the church, as a d"non-
nation was organized, and is thus in
dependent in its origin from any other
denomination, not being part OF nor
= .pnt from any nther denomination.
While the conference Of faith con-
tains thirteen articles in substance,
the church believes in the Holy Trim
ity, the Divinity OF Christ, the Gilt
and Personality Of the Holy Spirit,
the Inspiration of the Scriptures. the
sacraments as taught by our Lord,
justification by faith, Regenration by
the Holy Spirit, the Christian Sabbath
and the Future Life.
Fundamental Principles-tD The
Bible as absolute and final on Chris
tian Living; (2) Regeneration as a
necessity for every Christian life; ~
Loyalty 10 the Christian Sabbath and
the government Of our country; ~
A universay brotherhood.
In government. the church is rep
resentative democracy. She is purely
an American denomination and en-
tirely free from the traditions Of
many other denominations. Her gov
eminent is modelled after the Ameri-
can government and has no ordina-
tons but 10 the ministry. Her gov
eminent is truly Of the people, by the
people and for the people.

the cleaning up Of the Government, or
rather, the clearing away from The

work really is an incident, in a large
measure OF the removal Of restric-

rid Of a lot Of governmental agencies
that, useful as they might have been
during the war are in the way now.
Many Of these agencies have been the
machinery by which the restrictions
were made effective. But, apart from
the clearing away Of these agencies in
connection with the lifting Of restric-
tons, they must be gotten rid Of in
the interest OF economy.
a halt must be called on the Gov

and this is one of them.
at is only a few years since the an
nual budget Of this country was Bill

A while ago, the average man knew
nothing, as a matter Of fact, aboHt
Federal taxes. The billion a year
that we used to spend came from in.
ternal revenue taxes on liquor, tobac.
co and the like, and from customs
taxes on imports. The man who
finally paid the taxes did not know
| he was doing It, in most instances;
The man who knew enough about the
Governments system to know that he
was paying the taxes rarely stopped
to think about them.
How the Taxes Hit

about The State and local taxes and
