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 10
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
Jonishing 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. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles Of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, il you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents a. Dr..

TIMELY HINTS BY sETuFFE
Illinois State AdIutant Offers Eleven
Commandments Which He Has
Found Useful.

Eleven commandments In reverse
English" have been found useful by
William O. Setliffe. state adjutant Of
the American Legion In Illinois. In
building up the Legion's program for
that state. They are as. follows:
/. Don't attend meetings If IL rains.
You might get your feet wet, and you
are not In the physical condition you
were AZ the environments. or at Brest.
.. Don't think Of going If IL is a
warm. moonlight night. There are lots
Of other things you could do that sort
of a night. Err instance-Oh. roll
your own idea.
3. IL you should attend n meeting,
find fault with everything that's go
ing on. II your officers are showing
pep. demand to know In open meeting
what political Offices they intend run
ming for.
4. Never accept an Office in the post
Most offices have duties connected
with them. and II Is much easier to
criticize the way the other fellow Is
trying to handle the job.
3. Get sore at the organization IL you
are not appointed on a committee.
@. II you are appointed, don't both
er about attending the committee
meetings. They often are bore.
Z. During discussion. Of a motion
keep still. After II has passed, tell
some one why they should have voted
IL down.
8. Forget TO pay your dues. The
post can get along awhile longer with
out your contribution.
0. Don't try TO get new members.
George viii do II.
10. Don't do any work on post az
fairs, or any more than Is absolutely
necessary. When other members roll
up their sleeves and give unselfishly
OF their time and ability TO help things
along. get up on your hind legs and
howl that ne post is being run by
clique.
II. Remember. you owe no duty or
obligation TO a sick or disabled buddy
your own personal comfort comes
first.
