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 ia

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 applics-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes.

AUTOS PUNISHED
ON STEEP HILLS
II Is Not Necessary to Take AN
of Difficult Grades While
''in High Gear"
DONE SOLELY FOR ROASTING
Practice Imposes Hardest Kind Of
Work on Engine and Every Other
Part Of Carlow Gears
Should Be Employed.

The high gear hill climber is first
cousin to the scorcher. and both are
bound to become wiser as time goes
on, says r. o. Allen, writing in Amer
lean Motorist on the folly Of driving
motorcars up steep hills in high gear
solely for boasting purposes.
Continuing Mr.. Allen says
II fully understand that the modern
automobile is made to climb almost
anything but trees But / wish to
demonstrate that to climb a steep hill
on the high gear imposes the hardest
kind of work not only on the engine.
but also oil every other part of the
car. The low gear ratios are provided
for hill climbing and they should be
used for It..
Work Of Automobiles.
at may be well here to consider a
little more carefully the amount of
work performed by al automobile
climbing n gradient on, say a gear
ratio of three to one A ratio of three
to one means that n revolution of
the rear wheels Is produced by three
revolutions of the engine shaft. With
the lower gear ratio, the intermediate
and the low, the number of engine
revolutions becomes still greater as
compared to the number of road-wheel
revolutions.
at Il not so difficult to compute with
exactness the distance which a car is
propelled by one explosion in the en-
CINE cylinder and the power consumed
In hill climbing. The circumference
Of a 32-inch wheel is approximately
100 inches. and In covering one mile
as fast ms the rond wheels, 1t will re-
quire 1,S90 revolutions of the gear
shaft to propel the car n mile. Thus.
II such a car should proceed at the
rate OF 30 miles per hour approximate
ly $50 engine revolutions per minute
are required. With two power strokes
at every revolution there are 1900
revolutions per mile and each explo-
sion propels the car one foot and -four
and a half inches.
Resistance Added.
This estimate assume that the car
be propelled over level ground. To
mount a hill simply means that grade
resistance Is added to the various fric-
tional and other stresses. An automo-
bile weighing 1000 pounds climbing a
hill 200 feet high (measured vertical
ly) simply performs the task of over
coming the action OF gravity or lift
Ing, and the calculation of the pow
er required to do this must involve
the factors from which the horse
power unit Is derived. To lift 1000
pounds 200 feet high In one minute is
the same thing as lifting 1000 times
200 or 100000 pounds one foot
high in one minute. Theoretically,
then, the lifting of 1000 pounds 200
feet high requires 100000 divided by
$4,000 equals 1912 horsepower. and
the losses through friction. mir resist
nnce. etc, onsum the remainder Of
the theoretical horsepower output.
"From all OF this II must become APP
parent that rushing up u steep hill on
the high gear must subject any car
to enormous stresses, which ARE likely
to affect the llfe and service OF the
car to a considerable degree"
