Some time ago, she writes, I read
that the unassumlng toad has the

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.. Kimers 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 applicl-
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 DR..
kilmer q Co., Binghamton, n. Y, for
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

R0UMANlA IRKED BY RUSSIA
Demands Allies Make Known Their
Stand on Peace Moves by
Small Nations.

London. Feb. 24.-Turkey was tem-
porarily discarded as the subject for
discussion by the allied supreme coun-
ell, place being given to a discussion
of the Russian situation with the rep
resentatives of Roumania, who are
anxious to know what the powers in
tend to do as regards Russia.
The Roumanians are represented az
saying they are unwilling to negoti-
ate with the bolshekivi until they know
whether they will have the support Of
the pors. They are urgently request
ing a definite statement of the policy
either of the powers themselves to-
ward Russia, or the attitude they
would take toward smaller countries
who might seek TO make peace with
the soviet government, AS far as is
known, no assurances were given the
ROumanans.

ALL ARE TALLER LYING DOWN
Easily Susceptible Of Scien-
tific Proof.

How many people are aware that we
are shorter when standing than when
lying, and taller in the morning than
In the EVENING"
An Englishman was the first to dis
cover this, but afterward Doctor
Marand of the Royal academy OF
France made several experiments to
prove the theory. He found after
years trial that usually in the night
he gained almost three-eighths of an
inch, and lost almost as much during
the day. The cause of this is TO be
found in the different state or condi-
tion of the carriages which go to
make up the spine
The joints of this part of our bod
les are separated and yet joined by
particular bony substances, every one
of which has springy residence.
These are capable of yielding IN all
sides without bending the backbone or
spine itself. or course. the difference
is scarcely perceptible in one joint
alone, but the combined effect is ap-
preciable. Naturally. when the spine
Is supporting the weight of the head 1t
Is liable to contract, and we are tall
er after lying down for some time
than after we have been walking
about all day with our bodies in an
upright position. with the spine sup
porting the weight of the head.
At night time, when we lie down In
a more or less horizontal position,
these top parts do not weigh so heav-
lily, and the springy muscles being eX-
banded, our spines consequently be-
come longer.
Another proof of this is to be found
In the increase OF height sometimes
experienced by lnvalIds who have spent
long time in bed; and also in the
fact that the more rest a young child
has the taller he win grow,--London
Tit-Bits.

Longevity and Right Living.

What is one mans meat may not
exactly be another mans poison, yet
dozen or more theories may be given
as to how long life may be attained
but all of such theories are constantly
being set at naught by real facts. For
instance great austerity did not kill
st. Anthony. who Is said to have lived
TO be one hundred and five. Again the
luxuries and designations of court life

so noticeable in any individual, has an
undoubted influence to increase the

TO GET BILLION MORE
SPEND 100000 AND COLLECT
THAT AMOUNT.
Daniel c. Roper Tells House Commit
tee of Taxes That Eiuded
Revenue Men,

Washington, Feb. 24--With the eX-
penditure of s30OOGOO additional
money the bureau Of internal revenue
hopes to collect $l,O0O,OOOOOO a year
in taxes that has escaped the revenue
collectors,
This is stated by Daniel c. Roper,
chief of the bureau, in advocating II
S3O0o,O 600 item carried IN the annual
legislative, executive and judicial APP
preparations bill under consideration
in the house.
"By the close of this month we shall
have brought into the treasury SOD
100000 in taxes that were not and
would not have been assessed other
wise" Mr.. Roper said, However, this
audit has shown errors both ways.
But the net result shows a payment
to the government Of S200,O0U,H0 in
additional taxes. We find that our
analysis shows that there is lost for
the government more than $l,0OOOOO,-
600 In money that ought to be brought
into the treasury in - months time
1--WE find upon examination that
two-thirdS of the unaSsesSed taxes lie
in a group of about $4,000 returns
These are the so-called consolidated
returns-that is, returns of corpora
lions of all kinds which have many
subsidiary companies, probably from
five to twenty subsidiary companies
per return. These 5000 consolidated
returns represent probably 100000 in
dividual company returns.
investigation by the bureau shows
that weneed $50 more skilled auditors
and so additional auxiliary clerks to
ferret out these taxes 1t will require
about S3OOO.O0O for the project"
