Men Always Lovers Of Color.

Mems love of color can be traced
to the dawn Of history. Perhaps the
rainbow offered itself as color card
to the Babylonians, Egyptians and
the Chinese. for history reveals the
fact that centuries before the Chris
tian era color played an important
part in their art and architecture. In
Egypt, water colors made of powdered
pigments. mixed with gums and water,
were used in the temples and on the
monuments of the ancient dynasties.
Specimens of Egyptian art color work
are exhibited in the University OF
Pennsylvania Museum of Art the ear

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct tonch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence Of DIR. 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

great preparation send ten cents to DR..

Keep Your Liver Active, Your

the return of influenza. They know
that a clogged up system and lazy
liver favor colds, influenza and serious
complications.
To cut short cold overnight and to
prevent serious complications take one
Calotab at bedtime with swallow of
water-that 3 all. No salts, no nausea,
no gripping, no sickening after effects.
Next morning your cold has vanished,
your liver is active, your system is puri-
fed and refreshed and you are feeling
fine with hearty appetite for break
fast. Eat what you please-no danger.
Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed packages, price thirty-fve cents.
Every druggist is authorized to refund
your money if you are not perfectly
