 Favorable Comment

The ideals of the American Legion are explained in a published announce ment of Bill Bowling Post of Chadron, Neb., which has drawn much favorable comment from Legion posts in the Middle West. The announcement read:

 ITO politicians-We stand for pol icies. not politics.
 'To capital-Some of us are capital ists all of us are labOrers.

NOT IN WHOLESALE BUSINESS
Amount of Rouge This Danssi Would Require More Than Druggist
 Carried In Stock.

The drug store was quite near the dancing hall; but the druggist was not a dancer, and had been in bed many hours when he was awakened by the violent ringing of his night bell.
 With sleepy words of complaint he pulled himself from his warm bed.
 Mines not to reason why. or some poor scul may do guy" he murmured rhilosophically.
 Throwing up hls bedroom window he allowed the first cold gust of wind to rush past him. then put his head out.
 Below he saw a young lady.
 'What can I do for you. miss?" he inquired. ''Is anyone dying"
 "Oh. mol" came back in sweet tones. "But I'm dancing at the hall close by, and l have quite run out of rouge"
 "Indeed?" snorted the disgusted chemist 'I am very sorry. miss. but 1 never keep enough rouge in stock to cover cheek like yours!"
 Then he banged the window down and returned to bed.-Chicago Daily News.

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 Insuranc Companies, in au interview on the subject, made the as. tonishing statement that one reason why Q many applicants for insurance are rs. jected is because kidney trouble ii % common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applics. tions are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. It is on sals st all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.

treatment of disabled soldiers. recom- mendations that mean adequate hos pital treatment to 10000 wounded vet erans now in poorhouses, asylumS, in- sufficiently equipped hospitals or in no institution at all, as well as pay ment for disability to thousands of veterans not in hospitals.
 The report of the Dawes committee Is considered as great victory for the American Legion program for dis abled soldier relief. Its recommenda- tions embody the principal features of the Legion plan.
 They are:
 l. Appointment of one official to have charge of all disabled solSjers' relief and benefits. There now are three departments.
 2. Decentralization of administra- ton. so officials with delegated author ity may act without red tape.
 3. Appropriation of whatever addi- tional money Is necessary for new hospitals.

On Verge of Nervous Collapse, Indiana Woman Was Almost
 Helpless.
HER FRIENDS DISHEARTENED
Troubles Disappear When She Takes Tanlac, and Nerves Now Are as Steady as Can Be-General

"I was on the verge of collapse and was actually afraid to leave the house. but l am overjoyed now at the way Tanlac has restored my health so perfectly" declared Mrs. Cora NJ. Jackson, 5O4 Mulberry St., Terre Haute, Ind.
 Il was almost nervous wreck, and at times for anyone to even talk to me upset me completely. Even at night l could not get easy and quiet and would lie wide-awake, hardly able to sleep at all, and often just got up out of bed, I was so restless. Nerv- ous headaches often came on me and frequently lasted for days at time Then l had rheumatism so bad in my joints l was almost helpless. My legs and elbows hurt fearfully and some times l just ached all over. There seemed to be no relief for me, my friends were all worried and I was almost disheartened.
 But, happily for me, one of my friends suggested that I try Tanlac. 1 never will forget how I began to Improve and now I think 1t Is wonder full, that 1 am feeling so well and strong. My nerves are just as steady as can be and haven't rheumatic pain about me. I am in just splendid health and wish everybody knew what a grand medicine Tanlac is."
