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.. Kilmers 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 az.
tonishinR statement that one reason why
80 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected 10 because kidney trouble is 30
common TO the American people, and the
large majority Of those whose spplica.
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 10 test this
great preparation send ten cents TO DR.
kilmer d Co., Binghamton, N Y. for
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

OVER-CONF|DENCE
. BLAMED FOR LOSS
BY GEN. WRANGEL
(RY the Associated Press.l

CONSTANTINOPLE Nov. %
The first story of the downfall of
Gen. Baron Wrangers white army
was given the correspondent by one
of Baron Wrangel's own officers,
who has just arrived here. Gen.
Wrangel's defeat was ascribed by
the officer to the overconfidence of
Gen. Wrangel and lack of apprecia-
ton of the, strength of the enemy
forces.
The operations across the Dnieper
in October, the officer said, had
shown the Bolshevik concentration
to be more considerable than had
been anticipated and this induced
Gen. Wrangel to give up his positions
in Taurida and withdraw within the
Crimean fortified positions. where he
awaited the Bolshevik offensive
complacently. The principal reason
given by the officer for the success
in the railway system and the dis
position of considerable Bolshevik
reserves. The Bolsheviki started
their drive two days earlier than
Gen. Wrangel had planned to retreat
from Taurida, his retirement OF the
I'd and Sd corps to Perekop, leaving
the remainder of his army. except
the Don Cossack cavalry corps, on
the Tschongar isthmus. While this
retreat. was going on the Don corps

direction and successfully reached

en- Bolsheviki destroyed the pontoon
bridges.

formed. three corps under Gen.
Kutiepoff, which, after a brief re-
sistance against the Bolsheviki,
moved southwark to cut off Buden-

with extreme rapidity toward the
southeast from a point north of
Kakhovka Budenny's cavalry al
ready had reached Salkovo and was
threatening to cut off the retreat OF
Gen. Wrangers right wing. The
Bolsheviki taking the advantage of
the freezing Of the Putrid sea,

isthmus, appearing in considerable
strength at Armianski Bazaar. They
thus were enabled to advance the

THANKSGIVING DAY
DINNER WILL COST
AS MUCH AS EVER

Although Thanksgiving dinner this
year will cost very little less than
last year, except to the extent that
staple groceries play a part in the
menu, it will be of better quality
than last year, according to Memphis
grocers.
The assortments of nuts. fruits and
condiments which usually go to make
up the trimmings of the Thanksgip-
ing dinner is fuller and of higher
quality, according to grocers. I'M
portations of figs. dates, olives. olive
oil and certain condiments are on a
more liberal scale this year than they
have been for several years past and
these articles run high in quality.
The price of the Thanksgiving tur-
key will be but little, if any lower
than last year. There is, however, q
plentiful supply of the birds, and
grocers report fairly good advance
orders. Cranberries at 20 cents a
quart are about in line with last
year. MinceT4eat is also quoted by
