PRINCIPAL EVENTS REVIEWED
Failure of Senate to Ratify Peace
Treaty Leaves United States Tech
nicaIly at War-PresidentiaI
Election Holds interest.
BY DONALD r. eIees.

The world throughout the year l91U
was passing through the troublesome
period of readjustment and reaction
that began with the close of the World
war. OF all the great powers that had
been involved in the conflict, the Unit
ed States alone remained technically
in a state Of war with Germany
through the failure of the senate to
ratify the peace treaty. For all prac-
ticaI purposes, however, the United
States was at peace and conditions IN
this country were more nearly normal
than in most OF the nations Of Europe
which had accepted the settlements
agreed upon by the peace conference
at Paris.
Although the great war had ended,
the world was not at peace in 1920.
Territorial disputes and jealousies
growing out Of the war resulted in
large number of minor conflicts.
The Irish problem remained I'M
solved and the situation in the Emer-
aid Isle grew more serious as the year
progressed. In the United States, de-
spite minor radical activities and the
uncertainties accompanying the read
justment of business and industrial
conditions there was continued pros
perity and optimism.

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. Il stands the highest for
it's 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-
tons 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. e., for
