GIRL OF TODAY INDEPENDENT
Modern Young Woman Has No Need

creasing ways in casual freedom and

McCalls. "only a few weeks ago /
noticed, in the colossal dining room
of a big department store that the
bills Of fare were actually planned to
please the delicate sex.
Everywhere the world is changing
to meet her. as she changes to meet
the world, and as 1t would be pal
pably absurd to have her travelling
downtown in the public cars, earning
her living in some big office, lunching
alone amid a thousand men and then
requiring the services of a chaperon

guardian Of maideuly modesty and
morals, because she would be simply

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
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.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. It 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.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. Howeser, Il you wish
first to test this great preparation send
ten cents to DR.. Kilmer 4 Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y, for a sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

Why WE LIVE.

All human devices, with the excep-
tion Of the wheel, are found in nature
Birds, beasts or fish had them before
they were invented by man, says DR..
Lucien Cuent5t, famous French blolo-
giat after lifetime CT study
Cuentot points out that the file an
Choir. the rails and groves Of guidance.
dovetailing and many manual instru-
ments all have their counterparts in
nature, developed before man existed
The grasshopper has a torpedo
tube for planting its eggs deeply in
bark or earth. The cuttlefishs outer
skin is buckled about It's throat by a
system Of snaps such as we often use
on gloves. Your elbow was the original
hinge, your heart the original pump.
Cuentot says that the wheel is our
only invention that is not found in
nature Mountaineers might tell him
of the hoopsnalxe, said to put it's tail
in its mouth and roll down hill.
One Of mans first inventions was
the net for catching fish. He got his
idea from studying a spiders web.
Flexible armor was copied from the
, scales of a fish.
The early catacomb dwellers proba-
bly, learned their architecture from the
ant. The beaver taught man bridge
building.
All human inventions come from
studying and copying nature.
Nature says Cuentot Is such a per-
feet inventor that she keeps her In
ventions ahead of the requirements of
life. Thus, when the reptile evolved
into bird, with feathers needed for
flying. it was given feathers long be-
fore it scared into the air. Nature
provides the tools so they will be
ready when needed
This leads scientist Cuentot toward
the belief that there is an intention"
back of all creation-somethin that
Is denied by the average scientist, who
believes that life develops by chance
that Its evolution is mechanical and
aimiess, unguided by a Supreme Intel
ligence.
This brings US to the question. Why
are we here on earth? Why do we
live?
And yet, there Is no answer. But, the
more science investigates. the more it
Is won over to the theological or spir-
itual belief that we ara all other
forms Of life are here on earth for a
definite purpose That purpose is
preparatory to something later be-
yond the grave.

u. S. Weather Bureau
Explains Why's,
Wherefores of Frost

Frost's formation and the way to
foretelI its occurrence are not gener-
ally understood.
The U. S. Weather bureau has much
lines.
The formation OF frost is similar to
that of dew, except that the tempera-
ture on the ground or surface upon
which it forms must be at or below
the freezing point Most people sup
pose that dew falls in the same man
.ner as rain
It is really formed on the ground or
on terrestrial objects IN the following
manner:
After sunset the ground and other
substances begin to lose heat by radi-
alton and become chilled.
If at the same time the air is still
and the sky clear, the air in contact
with the cool ground and objects de-
posits upon them condemned moisture
in the form of dew drops Whenever
these same conditions exist with the
tempera ture of the surface material
at freezing or below, the dew will con-
geal, forming frost
1t may seem strange that frosts oc-
cur when the temperature observed
at the time would show the imp0ssi-
bility of ice particles. But when condi-
tions favor radiation, a thermometer
laid upon grass land at night may
mark a temperature much lower than
that Of the surrounding air. Thermom-
eters placed on the surface under IA
vorable conditions have revealed tenn
peratures from 6 to 10, or even 16.
degrees lower than the temperature
Of the air several feet above
are also governed by the condition
Of the surface of the ground: for in
stance, whether or not the surafce Is
grassy one. whether the grass Is
short or long, ligth or dark colored.
whether clover or lawn grass, and If
the surafce is bare, whether it is hard
like roadbed. or cultivated and II
cultivated whether stirred recently or
not, and whether the soil is light or
dark colored.
The coming of frost can be foretold
with considerable accuracy by OBJ
serving the general atmospheric con-
ditions.
If the day has been moist and mild
and the temperature commences to fall
towards evening and registers about
so degrees at night and If the sky is
clear with little wind. frost may be
expected. A clear cloudless and COM
paratively calm night is always favor
able for frost If the temperature is
low enough while the coming of
clouds. which act as screen, re-
tards radiation of heat from the
ground, plants etc.
