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 10
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
it's 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
80 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 ever 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 d Co., Binghamton. N. Y, for .
sample b,ttle. When writing be sure and

of a town lost a horse. 1t was not

In n eye and spawned. But, per-
haps as a relic, Bennett says, the
prominent citizen wanted the horse,
So he advertised, offering 50 reward
for its return. The town half-wit, a
boy of nineteen, with a harelip, came
n afternoon leading the horse, with
a strap about the size of a shoestring
to the prominent citizens door. The
horses owner was pleased.

NEWSPAPERS HAVE VITAL INTER.
EST IN FOREST FIRE PRE-
vENTION.

Denver.-A burning cigarette butt
beside a woods-road in northern Maine
may mean much to the business man
agement of the Texas Daily Bugle.
Sounds like a joke, but is it? The
Daily Bugle. say specialists of the
forest service, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, represents the
newspaper industry dependent on for
ests for Its existence; the smoldering
cigarette portrays forest fires caused
by human carelessness. Newspaper Is
mad from wood. Fires destroy and
lessen the supply of raw material with
a resultant increase in the price of pa
per stock. Hence, the relation between
the cigarette butt in Maine and the
newspaper in Texas.
This is the day and age of news
papers. Newsprint is a 100 per cent
forest product, but few persons see
their next years supply of newspapers
in n grove of trees. They do not con-
meet the passing of the penny paper
with the burning of the forests.
With only fifty million cords of
spruce left in the regions of centrali-
zation of the pulp m paper industry
and about five and n half million cords
ground into pulp every year, the prob
lem is simpler thar How old is Amp
In spite of everything. within the
next ten years, the pulp mills will be
hard put to secure wood to keep their
mills and machinery busy, if. And
hat is where we all come In. "If'
We do not burn up any of the present
supply, 1t will last that long. In this
national forest district, 81 per rent of
the forest fires are caused by mans
carelessness-bonfires, camp fires left
burning, cigar and cigarette butts, hot
pipe ashes, engine sparks, etc.

Plans to spend $1,100,OOO to trans

of sick and wounded service men
have been prepared by the Union
League club and will be submitted to

clubs project to help disabled vet

instance of the public affairs COM
mittee, of which Britton l. Budd is
chairman, and will be laid before the
congressional appropriations commit
tee by a subcommittee headed by
Charles Ware. They are supported
to the limit by the Union League club
Improvement of the grounds is alb
solutely essential" Mr. Budd said
"They are now desolate. They must
be finished off, for they are as much
part of the equipment of a hospital
of that character as are the beds in
the hospital itself, the medicine and
the medical treatment.
There is nothing too good for those
chaps as l see it. We are going after
this plan hammer and tongs"
The first service men to enter the
Speedway hospital will be admitted in
three or four months, reports have

WlEhE APPEALS FOR
BEAUTY SPOTS
President of the West Park Board
Would Arouse More Interest
in Children's Play Grounds.

President Wiehe of the West Park
Board has issued the following appeal:
Dear Sir:
The great West Side of Chicago con-
tains a system of parks, Fairgrounds
and boulevards which has attained a
worldwide celebrity for their beauty
and the public and community spirit
they evince.
The citizens of the West Side have.
through taxation, generously contrib
uted to the upbuilding and mainte-
nance of eighteen parks and thirty
three miles of boulevards. Their care
should be matter of personal inter-
est to every citizen, without excep-
ton.
Unfortunately, however, there seems
to be lack of proper appreciation of
these beauty spots. During the past
few years, the Board of Park Commits
sioners have been repeatedly in
formed of the increase in destruction
OF and damage to the trees, shrubs,
flowers, lawns, buildings, park furni-
ture, etc. This vandalism is, for the
most part, the work of children, but is

most of the afternoon celebrating the
proposition.
The method for creating the money
was not suggested The word taxes
was specifically left out because of
growing protest against increased
bills.
The appeal, in part, reads:
Resolved, that the city council
recommends the passage of such legis-
lation as will enable the city of Chi
cago to pass an appropriation ordi-
nance for 1921 on the same basis as
the appropriation ordinance passed by
the city council for 1920.''
Those opposed argued principally an
increase in the tax rate is the only
solution offered the Legislature.
Alderman Anton J. Cermak, al
though voting against the resolution,
because it was a substitute for the
one recommended by the finance com
mittee, said additional funds could be

will be taken by the Chicago & Alton
railroad to lay off between 1000 and
1,500 employees-principally in the
shops at Bloomington and from the
ranks of the office forces in Chicago.

of all employees to go into a con-
ference, called by the president, to dis
cuss a general reduction in wages.

Alton would have to appeal for gen.
eral relief to the railroad board.

Popular Democratic Leader Contradicts
the Report that Party Would put
upa Full Ticket for Judges
Declares Himself in Favor of Re-NOmin tin g
Good Men Acting in Concert With
the Bar Association

Dennis j. Egan, popular Democratic
leader, hotly contradicted the report
that there would be no joint action
between the Democratic organization
and the Bar associa ton on the Judge
ships in the coming judicial cam
paign.
There's absolutely nothing to
that" he said. THE county commit
tee met and authorized us to proceed
ton and we are continuing to do
that. We expect to see a nonpartisan
ticket in the race that will contain
the names of almost all the sitting
judges"
THE Bar association plan has not
blown up We all realized that we
faced complicated problem when we
began but we've already progressed
enough so that we think success is in
sight"
1t was pointed out that even if the
Bar association plan were to fail the
Democratic leaders hope to include in
their own state some of the strongest
sitting Republican judges But they
realize that if it comes to a plain con-
test between the Thompson ticket and
a Democratic ticket the latter would
be much weaker than a coalition ticket
backed by the Bar association There
are two reasons for this
First, sitting Republican judges,
given their choice between the Thomp-
son ticket and the Democratic ticket,
would choose the Republican column,
although they might be more than
willing to run on a nonpartisan ticket
backed by the Bar association
Second, if the nonpartisan plan were
dropped the Bar association probably
would hold its usual primary, with the
result that its Endorsement would go
to some sitting Republican judges who
chose to run on the Thompson ticket.
In other words, the chance of concen-
trating the lawyers of Cook county,
civic organizations, and most of the
press against the anti-Thompson ticket
would he lost.

raised if the Legislature increases the
city's licensing powers.
On his motion the council adopted
the following resolution:
Resolved, The Legislature grant
the city of Chicago complete home
rule in taxation and power to license,
tax and regulate businesses and voca-
tions'
The request, together with the fol
lowing paragraph, which was stricken
out, is the appeal recommended by the
finance committee:
And that the city council be re-
quired to pass its appropriation bill
and certify a tax rate sufficient to
produce revenue to meet same"
Directors contended it is unneces-
sary for the Legislature to inform the
council that it must obey the law. 1t
was secretly explained that the OBJ
jectors feared the tax rate would be
doubled if the council were given such
a concession.
