THOUSANDS HAVE kidney
TROUBLE And NEVER
SUSPECT IT
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

Judging from reports~from drug
gists who are constantly in direct
touch with the public, there is one
preparation that has been very sue
cessful in overcoming these condi-
tons. The mild and healing infllI.
ence of DR.. Kilmer's SwampRoot is
socn realized. 1t stands the high
est for it's remarkable record of sue
cess.
An examining physician for one OF
the prominent Life Insurance Cont
ranies, in an interview of the sub
ject, made the astonishing statement
that one reason why SO many ap.
plicants for insurance are rejected
is becaus kidney trouble is so COM
mon, to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose appli-
cations are declined do not even sus
pect that they have the disease. DR.
Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale at all
crug\ stores in bottles of Two sizes,
nediRm and large.

This great preparation sand ten certs

SAY WILSON HAS
ISSUED ULT|MATUM
ON ARTICLE TEN

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-Demo-
cratic senators have again been
notified that President Wilson will
refuse to accept treaty ratification
with the Lodge reservation on
article X, it was said today. This
is the reason, t developed, that the
movement of Democrats toward &C.
ceptance of the Lodge program was
halted when it was nine or ten votes
short of the number necessary to
ratify.
The word from the president. it
was learned. was taken to Demo-
cratic senator's by Senator Carter
Glass, of Virginia, who called at
the White House this week The
president told him that under no
circumstances would he deposit rati-
f1cation if the Lodge reservation on
article X was adopted, after Sena-
tor Glass was commissioned by a
number Of Democrats to go to the
president and get his view.
The notification was conveyed to
certain Democrats this week, they
said. So far as could be learned 1t
was not in written form. Senator
Hitchcock the Democratic leader,
said he had not received any late
communication from the president
on the subject.
The presidents warning was taken
into consideration by certain Demo-
cratic senators in arranging pairs
VITA Republican senators on future
treaty votes. One Democrat in ar
ranging a pair told Republican
that he would vote for all the Lodge
reservations except \that on article
X, and that he\ could not support
| that because he had, received word
from the president.
This development was taken as
making it beyond question that
| enough Democrats will stand out
against the Lodge reservation to
prevent ratification. A poll taken by
Democratic leaders showed that "a
Democrats would stand against the
Iodge reservation on article X
while % were willing to support 1t.
This would leave a shortage of from
| nine to twelve votes on ratification,
depending on how many Republicans
! remained "bitter enders."
May she1ve Treaty
Believing that ratification is out
oe xEaG question, Democratic leaders
apparently are working to get the
treaty sheIved without much more
delay. This may occur within a
week, a we'll informed senator said

Senator Borah and Sena4Ar Hitch

plan which they Declined tonight to
| divulge 1t was learned Senator
| Borah is to see Senator Lodge Sun
| day. This conference. taken with
others, may result in quick DISPOSE
| ton of the treaty.
An agreement was reached late to-
day that the senate is to vote at
| D. m. Monday on the reservation OH
domestic questions. Adoption of the
original Lodge reservation is con-
sidered likely.
Another day of oratory and maneu-
yering in the senate ended tohlght
with virtually all elements in the
treaty fight agreeing that ratification
seemed far away. Getting down to
rock bottom in thenr calculations, the
leaders are understood to have agreed
that, unless some unexpected clrcum-
stance alters the senate alignment
enough votes cannot be brought to-
gether to either modify the Repub-
lican Article x reservation or secure
ratification of the treaty without such
a. modification.

PREEINIERS NOW SEE
ADR|AT|C SOLUTION
IN WILSON, PLAN

LONDON.-The reply made by
lerland to President Wilson's lat
est communication on the Adriatic
questions repeat the assurance that
they never had the intention of
making a definite settlement with
out obtaining the views of the Omitted
States government"
The reply, which is dated February
&c, states that the absence of an
American representative had proved
in practice an almost insurmountable
obstacle to the success of the nego
tiations.
The premiers observe as a fact of
the greatest Importance that Presi-
dent Wilson expresses a willingness
to accept any settlement mutually
agreeable to Italy and Jugo-Slavia
regarding their common frontier in
the Fiume region, provided such
agreement is not made on the basis
of compensa ton elsewhere at the eX-
pense of nationals of a third power"
This the premiers agree will be
an ideal way of settling the question
and they express willingness to do
by this road. In order to facilitate
this process they are ready to with
draw their proposals of December 9
and January 20, because they believe
if the parties principally concerned
believe the allied and associated
powers committed to supporting
them in any particular solution it
will be more difficult to secure a
voluntary agreement.
The premiers, therefore, cordially
| invite the president to join them in
a formal proposal to the Italian and
Jugo-Slav governments to negotiate
an agreement on the basis of with
! drawal of all previous proposals.

Mixed Babies Case
May Not Get Into
Courts, Is Belief

Atlarta's famous mixed babies
case most likely will not be decided
by the courts, but Mr.. and MRS. John
c. Garner probably will abandon
their fight to get possession OF
Louise Madeline and she will remain
henceforth the child Of Mr.. and Mrs
Daniel L. Pittman.
This seemed certain when At
torney Fred E. HARRISON, repra-
senting the Gamers, announced THAI
he will advise his clients not 70
press their habeas corpus suit fcE
Louise Madeline, and wher. Attorney
James w. Austin, representing the
Pittmans, said that in such an event
he is sure his clients will not insist
on a court trial.
The statements of the two attor"
reys came on the eve of the day on
which the habeas corpus suit was 70
be called Saturday before Judge
George L. Bell in the Fulton county
superior court Consulting during
the morning, Messrs. Harrison and
Austin agreed to a postponement OF
the case until next Friday. In the
meartime, said Attorney Harrison
he expects to see Mr.. and Mrs. Gar
ner and hopes to persuade them not
to carry their court. battle further.

not in her contention that Louise
Madeline is her child" said Mr.. Har-
rison, Il feel that the death of Mary
Elizabeth, the other little girl, has
so, altered matters that the Carriers

ing and widely discussed cases that

Reds Being Quietly
Exiled From America;
Another Ark Opposed

WASHINGTON Feb. 27.-The gov
ernment's~ deportation machinery is
working at full speed today, but
quietly. Many reds are being exiled
but with as little advertising as pos
sible, it was learned.
The dispatch of another Soviet
Ark is opposed by Secretary of La
Dor Wilson because the notoriety it
gives the reds enables them to pose
as martyrs and results in agitation
against deportations.
Because of the large numbers to
be deported the bureau of immigra-
tion> has put in service red spe-
cial' train, it was stated. The train
generally starts out from a Pacific
coast city and travels across the
continent to New York, picking ur
deportees en- route.

So-called Gas on the stomach
tthat full, bIoated feeling) is caused
by the poisonS from decaying food
in the bowels. Many women have
bowel movement every day but it is
not a COMPLETE movement and
much old, stale matter stays in the
system to fermen' and cause trouble.
Often there is only a small passage
in the center of bowels while the
sides are covered with old, hard
matter which stays in the system.
Besides gas on the stomach" such
uncIean bowels cause appendicitis,
influenza, fevers, headaches and
stomach trouble. Old, hard waste
matter sticking to the sides of the
bowels often poisons the system for
months, making you feel tired all
the time and "half-sick."
Don't allow this old, ,fermenting
waste matter to stay in your bowels
for weeks, but GET IT OUT and
keep it out. Even If your bowels
move slightly each day, that is not
enough. There must be an oc
casional THOROUGH, complete
cleansing to rid your system of all
accumulated decaying waste matter.
COMPLETE SYSTEM CLEANSER
The most COMPLETE system
cleanser known is a mixture of buck
thorn bark, glycerine and ten other
ingredients, put w in ready prepared
form under the name of Adler-i-ka.
This mixture is So thorough a bowel
cleanser that it removes foul and
poisonous matter which other cathar-
tic or laxative mixtures are unable
to dislodge. 1t loosens and dissolves
all foul matter sticking to the sides
of the intestines, working without
the least discomfort or trouble. 1t
is so gentle that one forgets he has
taken it until the THOROUGH
evacuation starts. 1t is astonishing
the great amount of foul, poisonous
matter ONE SPOONFUL of Adler
i-ka draws from the alimentary
canaI-matter you would never have

BRILLIANT MINISTER
VICTIM Of INFLUENZA
Rev. Dudley B. Ashford,
Noted Preacher and Lee
turer, Well Known on
Three Continents, Was
Ordered to Give Up
Work.

Reverend Dudley B. Ashford is an
extraordinary man. Although still
on the sunny side of forty, he has
crowded more service to humanity
into a few years than most men &C
complish in a lifetime.
Soon after his graduation from
Harley College, London, England, he
was ordained minister at the famous
New Court Congregational church,
London. A short time thereafter he
was selected to present the cause of
Congo Reform and African Missions
before the people of Norway, and
toured that land with such success
that he was greeted " by. enormous
crowds at every meeting.
In 1908, under the auspices of the
Colonial Missionary Society, he was
sent to New Zealand and for three
years labored as a missionary among
the Maoris, where his experiences
were novel and thrilling.
In 1915 he returned to England and
served for three years at Wood
Street Congregational church, Car
diff, South Wales, the biggest Con-
gregational church in the British
Empire. 1t was while here that he
fell one of the early victims of the
great 1918 flue epidemic, an attack
from which he had not fully recov-
cred when he accepted a call to the
queens r o Congregational
church, st. Johns, Newfoundland,
where his forceful preaching soon
attracted record congregations.
The strain of this work upon his
undermined constitution proved too
severe and he suffered a nervous
: breakdown, from which now, how
ever, he has completely recovered.
Moved by desire to serve his fellow
men he has recently written letter
that tells how he was restored to
health and strength.
Moved BY Gratitude
This letter, addressed to The Tan
lac Co. Atlanta, Ga, is an eloquent
expression of gratitude and is as fol-
lows:
Gentlemen: Your medicine, known
as 'Tanlac,' has been such an innest1-
mable blessing to me, that l feel
constrained to write and tell you SO.
In October, 1918, while minister OF
the Wood Street congregational
church, Cardiff. South Wales, I had
a severe attack of the Spanish In
fluenza, from the effects of which
never fully recovered. I lost twenty
eight pounds i'm weight and was I'M
able to recover my usual energy.
Then, in February, 1919, 1 became
the minister of the Queens Road
Congregational church at st. Johns
Newfoundland. My ministry was at
tended with great success, but the
strain proved too great for me and
1 had a serious breakdown. My
nerves seemed to go all to pieces and
my digestion became so deranged
that [ could eat scarcely anything.
