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 p-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.

most tense moments In married life
is when well-muscled bride of a
week places sector of bread pudding
before the man she swore to cherish
and protect. and watches him edge
away from the table with a crestfallen
lCOk
This culinary mlsdemeanor Is made
chiefly of bread which has died Of old
age and general exhaustion. After a
loaf of bakers bread has been put In
the cake bin by mistake and allowed
to remain there until two strong men
couldn't slice it with a cross-cut saw,
II can always be saved by hammering
II into the form of a pudding. After
surrounding 1t with a dollars worth
Of sugar and two pounds of butter 1t
becomes able to stand alone and
throw out its chest. True, the law
does not compel married men to eat
1t, but II is cheaper to do so and avoid
court costs.
In some homes bread pudding is
served twice a week, on stated days,
and 1t will be noticed that on those
days the restaurants and cafeterias
are crowded with apprehensive hus-
bands Once In a while some hus-
band will break into open rebellion
but this does not last long. owing to
mans forgiving nature. There Is
something about bread-pudding
diet, however. that stamps the victim
more indelibly than being tattooed on
the left wrist, causing him to glance
about furtively at the close of every
meal.

THAT simple little fruit of the oak
Il tree, the acorn, has divided the
mystic world of those who profess. or
have professed, to read the riddle Of
dreams into two violently antagOnistc
camps. According to one set of pene
traitors of the veil the acorn shed by
the tree of night through the visions
OF our slumbers is as much to be de-
sired as rubies and fine gold; to the
other set 1t is thing to be ahhorred
Those who sit in the camp of the pes

clare that to see an acorn in one :
dreams means dire poverty ahead II
you don't watch out. Another one

to commit an irreparable fault. NOT
So" comes the cheerful and confident
cry from the other camp; the acorn
seen In dreams is one of the happlest
auguries the acorn is one of dream
lands most desirable products. Those
who say otherwise are night birds or
ill-omen, croaking in the fearless
dreamtrees whereOn acOrns never grew.
To dream of acorns. say this school
of optimistic mystics, is. sure sign
Of good things ahead; much happiness
In store for you. 1t means. among
other good things, that you will derive
much gain from your present business
which will increase under your foster

picking acorns from the tree 1t means
that, after trials, you will have sure
success. If you are now a laborer,

that you are eating acorns 1t is a sure
sign that, from your present condition

For digging don't care bit.
