He said that Connecticut made a mistake in not extending its campaign against the insect last winIe when the Leg iSiature was urged to do sJ.
 Dr. Jenkins is in charge of the de- Dartment which has directed plans for the elimination of the mosquito and he has on several occasions called facilities have hampered the work and have made it impossible to make adequate progress in reducing the spread of the disease and the danger which is run of epidenics due to the presence of She mosquito in large numbers in Connecticut. He pointed put that little work had bern done In Connecticut since the world war in destroying the numerous breeding places of the insect, which is the sole cause of malaria

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 DIR. Kilmers 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
30 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, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bpttle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

soning, unfounded terror. His eyes
wandered from the lantern to the door
to the blanket hanging Imply in the
door; and there they stared and stayed
as though held in the spell of a SER
pent Subconsciously, certainly with
out any direction of will of his own,
he raised the shot gun to his shoulder
and kept 1t trained on the sagging
blanket. The blanket seemed to
move! 1t swayed at first as though a
light breeze had touched it and yet
not as though breeze had touched it.
The impulse seemed too far up-about
the height of mans shoulder. The
blood had gone from Allan's face; he
was as one in trance, obeying some
iron law outside the realm of the will
and the reason. He cooked his gun
and frightened his finger on the trig-
ger, and watched. And then.
so plain that it must have been real,
he saw stealthy fingers feeling their
way about the blanket.
Then Allan fired.
In sn instant he was wide awake,
and wondering terribly what had hap
pened. The explosion blew out the
lantern, and the building was in utter
darkness. His father was clambering
to his feet with "Allan, what is it?
What Is it. AllanY The blanket had
been torn from its hangings as by
heavy weight, and something was
writing in it in the doorway Allan
sprang up and would have rushed upon
it. but in the darkness he colided with
another man. His fingers found his
adversary's arm and ran up it to his
throat, but before they could fasten in
a fatal grip there was another flash of
light, and hot pang stabbed him in
the breast. There was strange CUR
Cling in his lungs, a choking in his
throat, spinning dizziness in his head,
as he staggered over the mass in the
doorway and fell into the night.
Gardiner had reached the window
just in time to see Allan's gun trained
ON the doorway. For an instant he
stood dumbfounded; there was some
thing uncanny in the sight of the young
man sitting there in silent absolute
readiness for the attack. He drew
back TO warn Rifles, but he was too
late At that moment the gun spoke;
there was the sound of heavy body
