women READY
FOR JURY WORK
Mrs. Belts and Miss Webb
Affirm Rather Than
Swear
NOTICE COURT
CLOCK is SLOW

Mrs Jessie Thomas Belts and Miss
Miriam WorreH Webb, the FIRST
women 10 serve on a jury in any
court Of this State, were made MEM
bers OF the Federal Grand Jury this
morning. As each OF them declined
to be sworn they, together with one
9th er member OF the jury, were af-
flrmed.
The women arrived exactly nine
minutes ahead Of the time set for the
assembling Of the jury, thus Iroving
that a woman is not always late, as
some men would have 10 appear.
Upon their arrival the women were
greeted by several Of their fellow
Jurors.
Both women evidently we're pleased
at their new privilege and seemed
to feel the responsibility that attends
such onors.
Mrs. Belts expressed regret. how
ever, that upon their first appearance
in the capacity Of jurors, they could
not agree with the court, pointing 10
the clock, which was several minutes
slow.
The jury was organized by the ap-
pointment OF Hervey p. Hall, OF
Smyrna, foreman, and after receiving
instructions from Judge Morris, re-
tired to the jury room TO consider
such matters as District Attorney
Hughes may have TO lay before them

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 prepaJ,a-
tlon that has been very successful IN
overcoming these conditions. The
mild and healing influence Of DR.. Kill
mer's Swamp-Root is soon realized
1t stands the highest for its remark
able record Of success.
An examining physician for one Of
the prominent Life Insurance Com
panies, IN an interview Of the sub
iect, made the astonishing statement
that one reason why so many appli-
cants for insurance are rejected is be-
cause kidney trouble is so common
to the American people, and the large
majority OF those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease. Or. Kilmers
SWamp-Root Is on sale at all drug
stores In bottles Of two sizes, medium
and large.
However. II you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
TO Or. Kilmer & Co.. Blnghamton, n.
T., for a sample bottle. When writ
ing be sure and mention this paper.
