The earliest mention of diving is
made by Homer, about $50 II. C., in
the 'Iliad." when Patroclus compares
the fall of Hector's charioteer to a
diver diving for oysters; and Thucy-
dides tells Of divers being used to re-
move submarine barriers placed with
the object OF impeding or injuring
the Grecian fleet at the siege Of Syra-
cuse. These divers had no apparatus
save a stone to carry them quickly to

Longest and Shortest Days.

The days generally known as the
longest and shortest days of the year
are the days which occur when the
sun is farthest removed from the ce-
lestial equator. There are two such
points In the ecliptic. one where II
touches the ;ropic of Capricorn and
the other where II touches the tropic
of Cancer. The former is known as
the summer sOlstice and the latter the
winter solstice to those who inhabit
the northern latitude and vice versa.
The sun attalns these two points on
June 21 and December 81. which are
commonly known as the longest and

Thousands Have Kidney

Applicants for Insurance Often
$3.50 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. It 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-
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 DIR.
