A surmise.
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. II 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
30 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 applca-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root 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 & Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y, for a sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

"sUBNoRMAL" SCHOOL WORK.

A remarkable and Illuminating fact
is revealed in an exhibition OF hand
work in the public schools Of one OF
the large cities The display includes
baskets, stools, wicker lamps furni
ture, embroidery. rag rugs. raffia work
and many other articles of household
use, produced BY the pupils OF the
'subnormal school, who are the
dull" boys and girls selected from
the regular schools for special in
structiOn.
Visitors to that exhibition have all
been amazed at the excellence of the
work. And here is the ren,a rkable
fact: Not only is the handwcrk Of
those "subnormai' children excellent
in itself. but the teachers say -h;tt il
cannot be equaled by the work or III.
normal" children.
Here, certainly, is food for thought.
Those dull boys and girls niay De
DUH at their books. but they are not
duh with their hands. Given al,..t 81
any kind Of manual work. they show
unexpected interest. application and
ability, and even artistic talent. The
other children may be better at more
abstract things like reading, gram
mar, arithmetic, etc, but they are
better at practical work.
There is probably less essential diff
ference in ability than most people
imagine. There is less difference in
amount Of ability than in kind of
ability. Some children are very ca
pable in some things and other chill
dren are Very capable in .,r:ler things.
Real education consists in develop
ing whatever special ability there is.
And real perception. perhaps. consists
in getting rid of false estimates Of
merit. and valuing children and adults
of different capabilities for what they
are really worth.
II is not necessary to make a teach
er or lawyer or doctor out Of every
child, though the old educational the
ory and method seemed 10 assure
that it was. The community needs
carpenters and masons and pattern
makers and dressmakers and weavers
and other handworFers. and needs the
artists who are halfway between them
and the professions" just as much
as it needs professional people. Why
not assume that all are equally hon
orabie, and train the young accord

this harshness is too often the root or
