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-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 DIR.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

Ascending the grizzly walls of the
giant mass of rock, tons in weight,
came bounding and crashing down
from unseen heights In a tremendous
avalanche which passed within a few
feet of the trembling rock on which
/ stood. AS the rocks followed the
route of my ascent and spread over
the entire glacier below me, it seemed
unwise to continue my climb, and I
reluctantly retraced my steps. Thus
far my climb had involved only such
technical difficulties as are in the
days work of any competent noun
taineer, but it is safe rule never to
trifie with falling stones, for they
are not fair test of anyone's skill.
Where No Foot Had Trod.
A thunderstorm was raging among
the crags, so I hurried back and
retreated across the glacier and de-
cided to climb the aiguille, on the left.

disappeared, and darkness reached

of the mountain until 1 came to a
long chimney. Entering it, I found
my way upward in the failing light,
reaching and straddling from side to

and struggling to surmount the giant
boulders which were insecurity
wedged above me in the chimney.

custom on a rock climb, / had brought
my ice-ax with me, using it in the alb
sence of a companion to lengthen my
reach at difficult points. The Chin
ney was many hundred feet in length
and afforded athletic diversion which
would have been more enjoyable
earlier in the day, when should have
climbed more rapidly. :
After leaving the top of the Chin
ney there was delicate fifty feet or
more Of vertical cliff and slanting
rock where the slightest slip meant
an instant unhindered descent for
thousands of feet. On setting foot on
the highest point of the mountain I
found level surface, possibly $50
feet long and 25 feet wide, that was
strewn with few loose rocks. On
this summit no foot had trod.

Where Fashion Parades

A smartly dressed woman wore a
navy tricotine suit designed on Elton
lines. Four streamers less than an
inch In width of self material hung
from the, back of the skirt and ex-
tended about four inches below the
hem.
A weIl-gowned woman strolled along
the avenue in a frock of Nblack satin

front. The gown was quite long and
was unreIieyed by white collar or
cuffs, but simple fur neckpiece was
used to soften the effect.

Need of Farm Labor Urgently
Required for Harvest.

Rains of the past week which hive

ner Of doubt the certainty of vast
grain crops throughout the entire dis

conditions of a week or so back, which
were decidedly less promising and led
many to, think that there might be a
partial failure, have disappeared al
together and now there is wave of
optimism circulating throughout the
entire country.
s In 1915 there were enormous yields
reported from all parts, and it would
appear now as if in many places the
yields of 1915 would be equaled if
not beaten.
What might appear to be a draw

go without; so that Camilla had Sc
cretly resolved that she would get a
position In the district school this au-
tumn.
But when she took her little pail
and went out for the butter in the
afternoon, her heart gave great
bound, for there in the highroad was
funny little dog running along with
his pink tongue hanging out!
"Binksl" she called; "Binksw
And before her very eyes some one
whistled and Binks turned tail and
fled. But Camilla was not to be
daunted. She followed, too; scram-
bled under fence and went through
the meadow; jumped the brook and
came out at last in the village square
to find Binks standing beside a young
man with soft gray suit and laugh
ing eyes.
THAT'S my dog" Camilla said with
her eyes flashing fire.
SIT is?" said the young man in a
conversational tone.
"Of course, / can prove 1t to you
by his collar. Come here, Binks! Ca
milla commanded.
The little dog seemed to smile, but
he did not move one step from the
heels of the young man. Camilla
stopped over and lifted him up and
cried: "There!" but when she looked
at his collar she read with dismay !:
"Fida."
Then before the young man could
say word Camilla had dropped her
pail of butter and squeezed Binks
into her arms and had run back the
way she had come.
'Robber! Thief" Camilla told her
self, still seeing the laughing eyes
of certain young man In gray suit.
When Camilla reached Aunt Emma's
GREATNESS, she suddenly remembered
the pail of butter. For Aunt Emma
said staidly: 'I've asked the curate to
come to high tea tonight, Camilla"
"Oh, yes, Aunt" Camilla said, but
first she went to the shed and put
ting Binks behind the door, bolted 1t
securely
Camilla was not one bit surprised
to find the curate was her thief, but
she did say THANK you," in low
voice when he brought her the pail
Of butter, so that Aunt Emma did not
notice.
She found herself blushing when
ever she looked in his direction across
the hot biscuits or when she passed
him the ham. He had still a discon-
certing way of laughing out of his
eyes. They heard during tea the walls
that emanated from the woodshed.
When the young curate suggested that
he should release the prisoner after
tea, Camilla made no objection, but
she watched the little dog turn wet
tongue on this stranger.
Perhaps he remembers mel" the
man in gray explained, and Camilla
answered "Ohw and blushed to the
roots Of her red-brown hair.
But that hardly accounts for the rea-
son that made Camilla sit down and
write Winnie that night and end her
letter with p. S. that said: 81
don't think 1 shall go home before
the autumn, Winnie. and then think
l may be-engaged-",
Camilla, smiling softly to herself,
blew out the kerosene lamp and sent
an airy kiss to small brown dog that
was lying In diminutive dog kennel
beneath her window.

Daily Water Consumption.

The quantity of water used daily In
the United States for drinking, bath
ing, cooking and washing is surprising.
Statisticians say that the average
family contains three members, and
that each family uses 80 gallons day
to each member Of tie household. The
consumption of water for household
and personal use thus amounts to the
enormous total Of 400,000,000 cubic
feet daily. This quantity of water
would keep q Niagara Falls going for
a period Of 35 minutes. A ship afloat
displaces an amount of water equal to
it's own weight. The Leviathan, with a
tonnage of $4,000, displaces 100000
cubic feet Of water. 1t would take $50
such giant steamers to displace the
quantity of water that the American
public is said to. consume every day.

For Midsummer
and Fall Wear

Tie midsummer fashion showings
Of the great French houses are inter-
esting not only for the clothes them
selves, but because of their influence
on autumn styles, writes a Paris
fashion correspondent. In planning
wardrobe for new season-and one
begins even In midsummer to think OF
clothes for fall-there is always more
or less uncertainty as to- what we
shall choose. We do not want to re-
produce in our dress the styles which
were worn early in the summer, so 1t
is very desirable to have a point OF
departure and fresh ideas to give Inn
petus to our plans.

an elaborate showing of models COW

export and midsummer ideas for local
customers. They now stand almost In
