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 in
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 tho
large majority of those whose applica-
items 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.

first to test this great preparation send
ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y, for sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

Rooter"
Florence stood close to the pink
shaded electric droplight over her
small white dressing table, reading
again and again these pathetically
honest little condolences. Her eyelids
were withdrawn to an unprecedented
retirement, so remarkably she stared,
while her mouth seemed to prepare
itself for the attempted reception of
buik beyond it's total capacity. And
these plastic tokens, so immoderate
as to be ordinarily the consequence of
nothing short of poignant horror,
We're overlaid by others, subtler and
more cleaning, which wrought the
true significance of the contortion--a
Joy that was dumfounding.

ably brushing his hair in preparation
for the Sunday evening meal, and both
touchingly unconscious of the calami~
ty now Detailing them; but what even
tually engrossed her mind was the
thought of Wallie Torbin.
Master Torbin, approaching four
teen, was in all the town the boy
most dreaded by his fellow-boys, and
by girls of his acquaintance, including
many of both sexes who knew him
only by sight-and hearing. He had
no physical endowment or attainment
worth mention; but boys. who could
"whlp him with one hand" became
sycophants in his presence; the terror
he inspired was moral. He had spe-
cial overdevelopment of faculty ex-
ercised clumsily enough by most hui
man beings, especially in their youth;
in other words, he had genius-not,
however, genius having to do with
anything generally recognized as art
or science True, if he had been

ICY, he would have had some respect
from his fellows-about equal to that
he might have received if he were
gifted with some pleasant deformity,
such as six toes on foot-but he
would never have enjoyed such deadly
prestige as had actually come to be
his. In brief, then, Wallie Torbin had
a genius for mockery.
Almost from his babyhood he had
been child Of one purpose: to in
