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. 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-
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. Y, for sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

Octopus Not Dangerous.

The octopus has the power Of
changing color more highly developed
than any other animal. He could ac-
commodate himself 10 the vivid back
yrouud of tartan plaid without Il
iremor. Indeed. this is his main line
of defense. He clinss mechanically
with his many suckers to whatever he
NAV touch. but tight grip upon the
slight construction between his head
and little round body invariably
couses him to relax his hold. 10 see
the impunity with which any French
fsher girl will handle an octopus
might dispel the fears of the most
nervous bather that ever mistook an
oyergrown Jelly fish for the eight
armed terror Of the deep.

Al the Top Of the Stairs.

During my service in the army I
was one day corporal In charge OF
quarters. one OF my duties was to es-
Cort the officer of the day on his tour
Of Inspection, preceding him into the
mems quarters and loudly calling
them to attention.
This particular day preceded him
up the stairs TO the upper floor of our
barracks, and when about half way
up loudly shouted. "Attention."
Upon reaching the top of the stairs
discovered the colonel and dozen
other officers Of the regiment rigldly
standing at attention. They had
picked the place out as n quiet one to
get some gas mask drill, and burst
out with n wild shout of laughter when
they saw me and the second lOoey In

Neither Mr.. Hamlin nor Squire Hea-

"That's not q bad record" admit
ted the squire. "In fact, I call it a
real good record for an average knit
ter. Now, I don't know how many ar
ticles my wife turned out for the Red
Cross; she didn't count them. She
started to count them, but when she
had knit several hundred articles OF
every kind she said counting tired her,
and she quit. After that she esti-
mated her output by needles"
"By needles? What do you mean
by needles?" asked Mr.. Hamlin, It,
tie hufily.
II mean the needles my wife wore
out" explained the squire. "She wore
out three sets Of needles knitting for
the Red Cross; and the fourth set

ended that they wasn't no thicker

WATCH YOUR FEET
important Matter Pertaining to
General Health.
Experts Advise Walking "Indlan Fash.
lon" In Preference to the "Toeing
Out" Which Has Hitherto
Been Considered Proper.

iHhort Talks on Health, by the Omitted
States Public Health Service Washing.
ton, D. CO
Well-directed feet are now consider.
ed to be quite as important to general
health as a well-poised head or an erect
carriage. Few people seem to realize
that many troublesome ailments are
caused by fat or weak feet, and at
tribute the nervous depression, pain in
the legs and back and general fatigue
to some other cause, when the feet are
really at fault, says tie United States
public health service.
Actual ''fat foot" is much less COM
mon than is ordinarily thought. On
the other hand, weak foot" is very
common, and If not remedied gradual
ly leads to fiat foot.
Recent Investigations have estab-
lfshed the fact that "toeing out" In
walking or standing, puts an added
strain on the arch of TIE feet. Instead
of standing and walking with the feet
forming an angle Of about 45 degrees,
as formerly advocated in military and
athletic manuals, experts now advo-
cate standing and walking with the
toes pointed straight forward. This
has been found to be. Of great assist.
ance in remedying weak and flat feet,
and constitutes what is known as
walking Indian fashion"
"Toeing straight should be prac-
ticed for little while, and it will come
easy. Make two parallel lines on the
floor, about six incEes apart, and walk
on them with the toe and heel touch
ing the outside of the line. Follow this
up with an exercise such as the fol-
lowing: Stand with the feet parallel,
with about two inches between the
feet, anG rise on tie toes anywhere
from 20 to 40 times each night and
morning. In standing acquire the
habit of placing the feet a few inches
apart, with the same distance between
heels and toes. Keep the body weight
equally supported on both feet.
Do not make the mistake of believ-
ing that flat feet can be cured by the
shoemaker, or by tie ordinary arch
that is sold in shoe stores. The con-
dition is one that should be treated by
an experienced physician when it fails
to respond to the measures outlined
above.
1t is comparatively easy to remedy
a tendency to weak or flat feet in chill
dren by teaching them the proper
walking and standing posture. Par
ents would do well to teach their chill
dren to walk Indian fashion.

WHITES TO ABSORB .MAORIS?
That Fate, Rather Than Extinction,
Said to Be Assured to New Zea-
land Tribe.

The ingenious explanation that they
wouldn't have eaten neighbOrs had
beef, mutton or pork been more abun'
dant on the early New Zealand market
stamps the native Maoris as a race
with working brains, and their ply
siques have long been praised. 1t is
not surprising, therefore that, as
correspondent records, these aborig-
inals are among the few In modern
times who, instead of promptly vanish
ing, will doubtless be absorbed into the
white mans family.
Fifty thousand pure-bred Maoris still
remain, half of whom are practically
civilized. Many have attained to high
political position. There are four Mao
ri members in the house of representa-
tives, two in the legislative council
and ope is an important minister in the
executive council.
Themselves Polynesians of remote
East Indian blood, these natives, be 1t
added, are not strictly aboriginals.
They are thought to have Misplaced,
a la table d'hote, some 500 years ago a
savory stock Of Melanesians or Pa
puans."
