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 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 bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

When Mr. Duane sailed for France
with the Twenty-sixth division, he was
a private; when he returned to Ameri-
ca after participation in almost every
major offensive of the war, he was the

TO HOLD CORDIAL RELATIONS
Legion Representatives In Attendance
at Recent Formation Of lnter-Al-
He'd Veterans Association.

American Legion representatives
took an active part in the formation of
the Inter-Allied Veterans association
in Paris recently. The association is
composed of delegates from the Union
Rationale des Combattants of France,
the Comrades Of the Great War of
Great Britain, the Federation Nation
ale des Combattants of Belgium, the
Associazone Rationale Combattenti of
Italy. Druzlna of Czecho-Sloyakia and
the American Legion.
The primary purpose of the organi-
cation is to preserve the cordial rela-
tions between the nations associated
in the war on the allied side. AS one
means of accomplishing this it Is pro-
posed that the membership card of each
society shall be recognized by the so
cieties In all the nations represented in
the association.
The delegates who attended the
Paris conference have been instructed
to report back to their respective or
CARNATIONS the details Of the amalga-
nation. Paris was merely the starting
point, from which veterans of the
World war may form their own League
of Nations.
The committee which represented
the American Legion at the Paris con-
ference included Cabot Ward and Ar
thur w. Kipling of Paris Post No. l;
Norman c. Coster, department adju-
tant Of France; E. Sadler and w. II. A.

convict labor and statute labor, the
value of which, not definitely known,
is estimated at about $132 100000. So
far as possible, all expenditures on
city streets within incorporated towns
and cities and all items of sinking
fund payments or the redemption and
interest payments on road and bridge
bonds have been excluded.
The road and bridge expenditures
for 1919 show an increase of approx
mately SO 1-3 per cent over those Of
1918 and 20 per cent over those Of
1914. More striking, however, is the
increase in the proportion of the to-
tai funds supervised by the several
state highway departments. In 1918
the expenditures by or under the SUI
pervision of the state highway depart
ments amounted to Sill ,2S5, PCS, while
the local road funds, over which they
exercised no control whatever amount
ed to $16S, 1912 ,925. In 1919, however,
the state highway departments super
vised the expenditure of 5000, 1922 ,694
as against the total of $3.50, 1913, 237
expended by the local road and bridge
authorities.

TIMELY HINTS BY SETLIFFE
Illinois State Adjutant Offers Eleven
Commandments Which He Has
Found Useful.

Eleven commandments In reverse
English" have been found useful by
William Q. Setliffe, state adjutant Of
the American Legion In Illinois, in
building up the Leglon's program for
that state. They are as follows:
1. Don't attend meetings If 1t rains.
You might get your feet wet, and you
are not in the physical condition you
were at the environments, or at Brest.
2. Don't think Of going If 1t Is
warm, moonlight night. There are lots
of other things you could do that sort
Of a night. FIR instance-Oh, roll
your own idea.
8. If you should attend a meeting,
find fault with everything that's go
ing on. If your officers are showing
pep, demand to know in open meeting
what political offices they intend run
ming for.
4. Never accept an office in the post.
Most offices have duties connected
with them, and 1t is much easier to
criticize the way the other fellow IS
trying to handle the job.
5. Get sore at the organization If you
are not appointed on committee.
6. If you are appointed, don't both
err about attending the committee
meetings. They often are a bore.
I. During discussion of motion
keep still. After it has passed, tell
some one why they should have voted
it down.
s. Forget to pay your dues. The
post can get along awhile longer with
out your contribution.
9. Don't try to get new members.
George will do it.
10. Don't do any work on post af-
fairs, or any more than is absolutely
necessary. When other members roll
up their sleeves and give unselfishly
of their time and ability to help things
along, get up on your hind legs and
howl that the post is being run by
clique.
Il. Remember, you owe no duty or
obligation to sick or disabled buddy
your ovr personal comfort comes
first.
