Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble aid 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 on 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-
tions 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 =
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

HAS FALLEN Low
BerIin'S Famous Brandenburqer
Thor a Byword.
Once Known Throughout the World ss
the Shrine of German Mlitarism,
1t Is Now a Joke.

One OF the most striking physical
signs of the standardization of Ger
many is in the degradation Of the IA
nous Brandenburger Thor, Germanys
arch of triumph, at the head of Inter
den Linden, writes Guy HickOk In the
Brooklyn Eagle.
Pre-war visitors to Berlin will re-
member tilis arch as the very shrine
of German militarism and Kaiserliche
authority.
No one but his l2nperial majesty was
allowed to drive through the center
arch. A platoon of the smCrtest sol
diers in the German army was quar-
tered there, ever ready TO snap into
the most epileptic rigidity at the APP
proach of any high ranking officer.
Drums rolled at the arch many times
day-whenever such an officer
doomed in Sight-and burst into per-
feet fever Of humping and suffering
when the all highest drove by. Or
binary folk had to leave the sidewalk
to pass The guard at the gate.
Now every shabby cab driver, push
cart man, boy bicyclist or news vender
makes It point to go through the
center arch and none other.
There is no platoon of soldiers of
any sort on guard.
A thousand generals-if there were
that many-might amble through with
out creating n stir.
There are no drums to thump.
One poor youth of the security po-
Ice, not over well informed, stands
or a block of stone, with not an atom
of pomp in him.
No one in Berlin is so humble as to
do him honor No one thinks of lenv-
ing the sidewalk for him. In fact he
has TO nave fence in front of him
self to keep from being pushed aside
by civilians.
If he tried TO exercise the authority
of a New York policeman he would be
mobbed He assumes no control over
street traffic or anything else. He
merely stands.
Occasionally. but very seldom, a
civilian stops TO ask him the way TO
somewhere, and he digs out his little
street directory and gives his answer
meekly, embarrassed at having attract
ed attention.
The once proud arch itself is plas-
tered with tattered white placGrds as
big and as plentiful as our American
wartime Liberty loan posters. But
the words and the purpose of the
placards are quite different. They
are there, not to increase military
strength, but TO reduce It, They are
part of the German governments at

TO pieces after the armistice. and Of

The Brandenburger Thor, used as
an instrument for the weakening OF
German militarism, is as complete n
reversal of purposes as If our own

Fairy Tale
CAD SEA CRAB
0RAHAM BONNER

''I'm sad sea crab" said the sea
crab. Not because I've anything to
be sad about, but just because I'm
sad.
"If you asked me what 1t meant to
be sad, / wouldn't know. for | don't
know the difference between being sad
and being glad.
and l don't care. So / suppose
would be speaking the truth just as
much if I said was glad.
But it would sound very confusing
If / said one moment that l was sad
and the next that l was glad. II is
better for me to say / am sad, and be
done with it. And besides i look sad.
/ have a very mournfuI face-a face
that looks so mournful that it almost
makes you laugh.
Usually no one laughs when \
mournful face is seen, but there is
something rather ridiculous about my
expression.
"In the first place / have large
shell covering, and inside, or rather,
if you should turn me upside down,
which / don't care particularly about,
however, you will find that / am full
of legs and claws and all sorts of
things which make me go and stay,
and in fact which make me live.
You see. I've never been to school,
SO l am not very good about telling
you of myself.
II would be better if only l had
gone to school, but they have no school
for crabs-nOne that l have ever
heard of, at any rate; and if 1 should
go / would doubtless make the whole
school weep, looking at my sGd face.
And if they all wept they would
all begin to wade in tears and then
swim in tears and then dive in tears,
and then be drowned by tears.
That's a sad thought of mine, isn't
it?
"Of course they might laugh at my
face. for, as l say. it is funny look
ing face for all its sadness.
But if they laughed at my face it
would be just as bad, for they would
never do any work or learn anything,
if they were laughing all the time.
