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.. Kilmer's 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 applica-
lions 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 & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample b1ttle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

State Has Low Ratio of Deserters.

That Wisconsin probably has as few
the belief of Adjt. Gen. Orlando Hol-
way. Immediately after the war the
federal authorities sent a list of 5000
men to the state officials, but through
tracing men who had enlisted in for

ing the draft the list has been reduced
to 1,150. 1.-THE total list of deserters
for the country is approximately 16O.-

Wisconsin has but 1,150 of that num-
Der. The ratio for Wisconsin is appar-

their draft boards or General Holway
at once. That many names will be
published which should not be is the
opinion of General Holway, but he said
that it was impossible to get COM

made up for the most part of technical
deserters. Men who eyaded the draft

Not to Reduce Fair Aid.

There will be no change in the ap-
preparations in the form of state aid
to the county fairs at this session of
the Wisconsin legislature. After long
debate in the assembly it killed the
Atcherson bill on this subject. Before
the bill was defeated, at the sugges-
ton of Assemblyman Anton Holly,
Kewaunee, the assembly attached the
amendment which would nave reduced
the amount of state aid from so per
cent of the premiums to 40 per cent Of
the premiums. Holly explained that
this would save the state approximate
ly $4,000 annually. After this amend
ment was attached the entire assem-
bly,, with one exception. voted to kill
the amended Atcherson bill.

Blaine Resubnits Webster's Name.

Gov. John J. Blaine took direct issue
with the senate and resubmitted the
name of Brayton o. Webster, Della
field, as a member of the state con-
servation commission. He points out
the qualifications of Mr.. Webster for
the position and declares that the stat
ute does not disqualify man from
serving on the commission if he be-
longs to no political party.
Il am convinced that / am serving
the public interests in resubmitting the
name of Mr.. Webster" declares Gov
ernor Blaine. ut is unthinkable to be-
lieve that party utilization is necessary
for public service. For emphasis, re-
peat that the salute does not provide
that the members of the commission
must belong to any party"

fine CROPS sure
Farmers in Western Canada
Jubilant at Prospect.
Splendid Winter Weather Has Put the
Naturally Fertile Land in Spien'
did Condition, and Bountiful
Yields Are Assured.

what a delightful winter we nave
had" is en- expression thar coulu De
heard almost anywhere when the
topic of the weather became the SUD-
ject of conversation. Not only IN the
Middle West and down east could
it be heard, but also in the Far west,
up in the Canadian West. There
the same remarkable features that
brought forth a wonderful winter ex-
isted. Reports from all parts OF the
country, from famed Medicine Hat in
Alberta to Winnipeg i'll Manitoba, IN
dictate that all through the winter
season very little cold weather was
experienced. In December, we read
that golf playing had put into the dis
card all ice sports, that farmers were
caught ''red-handed' blowing their
fields. In January, the Alberta yeo-
man got out his tractor and in MS
shirt sleeves was seen preparing
ground for the 1921 crop. During
February, in Saskatchewan, one
farmer narrowed fifty acres and
planted the seed. why, yes, or
course, in March," said an Iowa
farmer. who had just heard from his
son, who was looking after the West
ern Canadian farm, my boy writes
me they had some snow, and few
cold dips, but what did that matter!
The cattle and the horses came
through the winter in better condition
than they looked three or four months
ago. Grass was plentiful on the prai-
ries, the stubble was rich and valu-
able as food, and the straw stacks
and groves proved ample for shelter"
Spring is now fully upon the West
ern Canada farmer, his machinery is
all in shape for springs work, and
he is looking forward to an excellent
crop year. Last fall there was a
splendid lot of moisture that perme-
ated the ground sufficiently to leave
a perfect seed bed. Indications are
now that the crop will go in in the
condition required for successful ger
animation. Then, with the heightened
days of May and June, the many
hours of sunshine that they bring, ac-
,companied by showers of rain, and
with a soil of which there is none
richer nor more generous, there will
be seen preparing for ripening har-
vest the hundreds of thousands of
acres of wheat, oats, barley, rye, al
falfa and corn that will make the
hearts of the Western Canada farmers
swell with pride as they reasonably
look forward to an abundant harvest.
There is a great deal that can be
said in, favor of the climate of West
,ern Canada. The most important is
that those who live there, and have
lived in other countries, prefer it to
any they have experienced elsewhere.
1t is true the winters as a rule are
colder than are those in countries
lying much farther south, but it is
also true that they are tempered by
a dryness of the atmosphere that
makes lower temperature preferable
to that several degrees higher where
greater humidity prevails. Enerva-
ton and listlessness are unknown;
the air is bracing, but the cold is not
penetrating. Then the summers and
the autumns-they could not be more
,en ioyable.- AdvertiSement

Stamp Will Bring Response.

Here's a tip to those who write leg
islators and desire answers: Enclose
postage-and there will be no doubt
about the answer. So much mail has
been received of late by legislators
that they find it a considerable ex-
pense to supply postage. "On $500 for
two years answering so or 60 letters a
day can't be afforded. If there is no
return postage I'm not answering" one
legislator frankly said. 1t takes care
full figuring and more careful managing
to drag that $500 out for what looks
