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

Judging from It. IT'S from druggists
who are constantly ii. 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-
tons 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
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.--Adv.

EAT LESS AND TAKE
SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Take a Glass of Salts if Your Back
Hurts or Bladder
Bothers.

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trou-
BILE, because we eat too much and all
our food is rich. Our blood is filled
with uric acid which the kidneys strive
to filter out, they weaken from over
work, become sluggish; the eliminative
tissues clog and the result is kidney
trouble, bladder weakness and gen.
eral decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like humps
of lead; your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment or you are
times during the night; If you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or yon have rheu-
matism when the weather is bad, get
from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take table
spoonful in glass of waten before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This IA
nous salts is made from the acid OF
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to flush and stimulate
clogged kidneys; to neutralize the
acids in the urine so it no longer is
source of irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in.
jure, makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
a mistake by having a good kidney
flushing any time.-Adv.

GOES FAR BACK in HISTORY
Smyrna, One of the Oldest Cities Of
the World, Has Little of Its
Glories Left.

Smyrna, one of the seven cities of
the Christian church In Asia Minor,
claims to be one of the Oldest cities
in the world. It's known history runs
back to 5000 b. c., and it may have
fourished in the unrecorded ages be-
fore that remote time. Charles Dudley
Warner says of it:
Zone of the most ancient cities on
the globe, it has no antiquity; con-
tanning all nationalities; it has no
nationality; it is an Asiatic city with
European face; it produces nothing,
it exchanges everything"
The Aeolians preceded the Greeks,
who made it an eastern center of early
culture. 1t had declined and all but
fallen when Alexander, after taking
Sardis, released it from the yoke of
the Lydians, and, acting upon a sug-
gestion said to have come to him in
a dream, decided to restore it. 1t also
fell under Roman, Mongol, and finally,
Turkish domination.
1t was under the Lydians that it
was split into series of communities,
which effectively tied Its political and
military hands, SO that it cut little
figure in the golden era Of Hellenic
culture. The new Smyrna, rebuilt by
Alexander, was moved about three
miles south Of the older site. 1t is
200 miles southwest of Constantinople.
1t is one of the seven cities that lays
claim to Homer, whose identity, with
the older Smyrna seems very well
founded because the Meles river, with
it's cave nearby that formed the
Homeric den and study" flowed lazily
by the ancient city, though it's waters
since have been diverted to other and
disputed channels.

Famous Woman.

The first hand that touched our
American Rock of Ages, the bowlder
that we call Plymouth Rock-was the
hand Of woman on December 20,
1920. Well-grounded tradition has it
that upon the little Mayfiower, near
ing the shores of Plymouth, after it's
fearful voyage, the first of its storm
wrecked company to leap ashore were
Miles Standish and Priscilla Mullins,
the Puritan maiden. During the APP
palling hardships of the transit maid
ems love and faith had burned, I'M
dimmed, cheering others in despair.
Significant indeed that her trembling
hand grasped first the rock of Ameri-
cas- great future. She has been fur

Sheer Kindness.

Moreover. he was iarge-minded
enough to overlook his poverty for the
sake of love. He proved this by pro-
posing to the heiress.
But the heiress was soured by her
experiences Of the greediness Of men
and doubted the sincerity Of his affec-
ton.
"Are you sure" she asked him
sternly, that it is not merely because
of my money that you want 20 marry

Old Superstition Groundless.

The old superstition that the early
departure of summer birds portends
an early and severe winter, and the
kindred notion that the moving of wild
geese and ducks southwark at high al
titudes is the forerunner of storm
have been exploded by the inyastiga-
lions of government scientists. Birds
may depart from northern ATTITUDES be-
cause of a sudden drop in temperature
but they do not know and cannot know
what the weather conditions will be

which they go. Disasters to bird life

RECIPE FoR CRAY HAIR.

To half pint of water add OF. Bay Rum,
small box of Barbo Compound, and u
OF. of glycerine. Apply to the hair twice a
week until it becomes the desired shade.
Any druggist can put this up or you can
mix it at home at very little cost. 1t will
gradually darken streaked, faded gray hair,
and will make harsh hair soft and glossy.
1t will not co'or the scalp, is not sticky OF

terribly emaciated but my body was a
mass of running sores and my right limb

all hope for my recovery had been given

wonderful remedies but also gave advice
free, so he wrote for advice and in a very
short time we were very thankful that he
did, because the first half bottle of Golden
Medical Discovery helped me so much
that was able to raise my head from the
pillow my appetite returned and / was
able to sleep. Then the sores commenced
to heal and knew that I had started on
the right track.
cit took FIVE years to bring me back to
my original good health but I took no
remedies but DR.. Pierces Golden Medical
Discovery, 'Favorite Prescription and
Pleasant Pellets'-with the approval of
my doctor all the time. This was forty
years ago and am still in the best of
health. have never had any sign of a
blood disorder since or any ailment due to
impurity left In my system, and I feel
quite confident in commencing DR..

GRANDMA NEVER LET,
HER HAIR GET GRAY
She Kept Her Locks Dark and
Glossy, with Sage Tea
and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it's done so naturally, so
evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and trouble
some At little cost you can buy at
any drug store the readyto-use prep
aration, improved by the addition of
other ingredients called ''Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" You just
dampen a sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time.
BY morning all gray hair disappears,
and, after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark
ened, glossy and luxuriant.
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is a sign of old age, and as we
all desire a youthful and attractive
appearance, get busy at once with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
and look years younger. This ready
to-use preparation is a delightful tot
let requisite and not a medicine. 1t
is not intended for the cure, mitiga-
ton or prevention of disease.
