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- 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. r, for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper. Advertisement,

Agreeable to your expressed desire and in complete accord with the pur- poses of legislative branch of the gov ernment, there is in Washington, as you happily know, an international conference now most earnestly at work on plans for the limitation of armaments, a naval holiday and the just settlement of problems which might develop into causes of interna- tional disagreement.
 It is easy to believe a world hope is centered on this capital city. A most gratifying world accomplishment is not improbable.
 A hearty reception was given the President by what was said to be one of the largest audiences ever damned into the House champer.
 The audience, which also included the cabinet, diplomatic corps and many high officials, responded warmly when with feeling the President urged aid for starving peoples of Russia and pro- posed a gift of 10,000,OO0 bushels of corn and 100000 bushels of seed.
