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 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.

Dodge, Ia. Evidently there was little
ceremony about his introduction to
the khaki. He made no complaint be-
cause of his desire to serve, if pos
sible. But after five days Of drilling,
he said that the amputated limb be-
came so sore that he couldn't make
it work any longer.
1.-THE sergeant did excuse me from
play sometimes, but l drilled right
along with the rest of them," Dillman
said.
Even when discharged from the
draft after his IL days of service, Dill
mans paper stipulated that the act
''dces not operate as permanent bar
to his subsequent entry into the mill
tary service and ''does not excuse
the holder from obedience to the proc
eSs of exemption boards" However,
no subsequent call was made by the
authorities.
Dillman is now member OF Harry
e. Everist post No. 115, American Lee
gion, at Mankato, Kan. The post

oil fields, not extensively exploited as
yet, will supply the deficit caused by
declining production and increasing
consumption in the United States for
time.

tanned in sufficient quantities and at
reasonable prices we can turn TO our
oil shales for our supply"
"More than $50 companies have
been organized for the purpose of de-
veloping or selling stock in shale oil
enterprises. Some apparently are es-
sentially stock-selling organizations.
Others have been organizing on firm
basis.
Large amounts will have to be in
vested before the oil shale industry
becomes of commercial Importance.
Estimates by engineers of the cost

Flood Prevention in Arkansas Valley

largement of the channel through
Pueblo and for a concrete channel.
Bank protection is one of four plans
suggested for Fountain creek.
The engineers make it plain that
their present recommendations are
based on fragmentary data available
at this time and that complete study
of the problems involved will require
much more time and more accurate
photographic and topographic data
than is now at hand and also much
detailed engineering work.
They found a dearth of accurate top
ographic and other essential data
on which to base even a preliminary
study.
All the alternative plans which in
clude flood detention storage with pos
sible use of the Steel Hollow reservoir
site, would benefit property interests
in the Arkansas valley below Pueblo,
while the alternative plan embracing
only channel enlargement or bank
protection through Pueblo would not
protect property interests in the val
ley below Pueblo.
due to the limited storage posi-
bilities and as very little, if any,
water is available for storage in the
Arkansas river above Pueblo, there
does not appear to be any project of
developing irrigation storage with
economy in conjunction with flood de-
tention storage" reads the report.

Parcel Post Rates May Be Increased

.The parcel post system is COM
mercial venture pure and simple" Mr..
HAYS said. There is every reason,
therefore, why it should be made at
least self-supporting. This does not
hold true of some other services of the
post office, which necessarily must be
accomplished at loss"
Mr.. Hays explained why deficit is
expected this year and gave an item
lied statement showing where and
how the department plans to reduce
operating costs by nearly $l5,OOO,OOO.
For the fiscal year ending June 30,
1922 he said, 1.-The deficit was ST.
100000. For the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1927, the deficit will be found
to be approximately $S4,0000OO when
the reports are all available.
"Of this, about $75,OOO,OOO was due
to increase in compensation ordered
by congress to employees and S11,0OO,-
600 was additional pay to railroads
under interstate commerce decisions.
"Since April l there has been seri-
Gus falling off of post office business
and in consequence receipts, but econ
omies have been instituted which pre-
vent any deficit other than that for in.

TNGINEERS % the federal recla-

preliminary report, based on a
hasty, tentative survey, on flood pre-

Arkansas river valley. A copy of the
report has been received by Secretary
of the Interior Fall, and second
copy has been sent to the mayor of
Pueblo.
The engineers, James Mum and j.
L. Savage of the Denver reclamation
office, have suggested several different
plans and combinations of plans for
flood prevention which would entail
estimated costs ranging from $4,000
600 to SIT, 100000.
One plan for the Arkansas river

Oil Shale When Our Crude Oil Is Gone

~ H-BEARING shale in the United
I J States is capable of supplying
all of the cOuntrys demands for
petroleum when the supply of crude
oil is exhausted This announcement
is contained in a report of the bureau
of mines.
Oil shale up to the present time has
not been mined on commercial scale
in this country. Since the middle OF
the last century oil shale mining has
been az important origin of oil in Scot
land and France.
Rich and easily accessible deposits
of the Oil-bearing shale are said to
exist in Colorado, Utah, Montana, Ne
vada and California, where some Shale
oil already has been produced and
used successfully. Several small re-
ducing plants have been in operation
for some time, and others are under
construction near Debeque, Colo;
Watson, Utah; Elko, New, and Dillon,
Mont.
Tests indicate that the yield of oil
shale is all the way from practically
nothing up to ninety gallons or more
q ton. Much shale is too thin to be
mined commercially, but there are eX-
tensive deposits running from several
feet to 80 feet in thickness.
1T is estimated by the geological
survey" says the report, that the
curve of crude oil production will
reach its peak within few years, and
then the country will have to look
more and more to other sources for
