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 heaIin9
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
tonish1ng statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re
jeeted is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applicn-
lions 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
tirst to test this great preparation send
ten cents to DR.. Kilmer 4 Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y, for sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

Breaking the Speed Laws.

Uncle Alec Wilson was jogging
slowly into town behind Old Susie.
Susie isn't geared to do more than
four miles an hour. Anything more
than that makes her sweat under the

sign along the road which said: City
Limits. Speed Is Miles Per Hour"
"They can make their fool laws II
they want to-" exclaimed Alec, but

lawyer finally ventured.
Seems to me he did have the same
sort of vacant look" responded the

Presently pink-eyed white rabbit
ran by looking at its watch and cry
Ing, "Oh dear-I shall be late!" Alice
bounded after the rabbit across a field
ana into a hole under a hedge. After
running through the hole a distance
she suddenly stepped off into space
and began to fall. She fell slowly
and 1t was very pleasant sensation.
Alice was wondering whether she would

she landed on a heap of leaves I'M

The rabbit was scampering down the
passage. Springfng to her feet she
pursued, but it disappeared around
the next corner and Alice found her
self In a long hall of many doors all
locked. On a table was a golden
key which fitted the smallest door,
only 10 inches high. Unlocking this
she beheld beautiful flower garden,
but could not squeeze through the
door.
On the table she found a bottle
labeled "Drink Me-" Alice tasted-it
was delicious and she drank 1t all.
Soon she shrank to only ten inches in
helght. Now I can go into the gar

but, alas, she had relocked it and left
the key on the table far beyond her
reach.
Beneath the table in a glass dish
she found cookie on which were
the words, Sat Me-" She ate this
and soon grew nine feet tall. Pres

Alice fled in dismay, dropping his
gloves and fan. Alice picked them up
and began to fan herself. Soon she
was only two feet high and dropped
the fan In fright Thereupon she
stopped growing smaller and knew It
was a magic fan.
Hearing footballs she turned to see
the rabbit standing near. 1t was
nearly as tall as she and seemed very
angry. "You go to my house and
bring me pair of gloves and q fan I"
commanded the rabbit sternly. Alice,
badly frightened, started to obey. |
strangely enough the hall vanished |
and she found herself running through |
q deep wood. Soon she came to a
ilttle white house. The doorplate said

upstairs to the rabbits bedroom and

hardly big enough to contain her, al

her knees drawn up to her chin.
While in this predicament someone
Threw a handful of pebbles through
the window into the room. These
turned into bits of candy. Alice ate
several of them and soon shrank until
she could escape from the house. Run

Of places are open equally to self-re-

ties or politicians.
Arthur also was the useful instru-
ment in carrying forward the recon-
Citation of the sections. He was the
first president IN his generation who
made no reference in his annual mes
sages to the South or TO a Southern
question. He was indeed almost the
first president in so years who felt
free TO ignore the unhappy issues Of
sectionalism.
When ne stepped into the White
House Arthur found his party rent
by factions. He left it more nearly
united than it had been before in
20 years and with at least a chance
to win again in 1884 He might him
self have been the Republican NOM
inee in that year If he had not scrupu-
lousy refused to take an active part
In promoting his candidacy.
He looked as well as acted the presi-
dent. The first city man in a line of
rural or small town men, Arthur was
the best dressed man to sit in the chair
since Washington, and perhaps the
handsomest. with a tall, graceful fig
ure, the manners of the great world
and a grave bat easy courtesy.
Although a widower president, his
sister. Mrs. McElroy. was charming
mistress of the White House and under
them the social life of the mansion
took on more sumptuous tone. His
son and namesake was away at school
much of the time, but his little daugh-
ter, Nellie Arthur, lit up the house
hold with her song and laughter.
Mrs. Arthur died only In the year be-
fore her husbands unexpected rise to
the presidency. and her absence from
his side was a haunting sorrow to Ar
thur.
Declining to remove the collector of !
the port of New York, whom Garfield
had appointed, against his protest, he |
even permitted that officeholder to !
leave his post and oppose him in the /
contest at the national convention.
No other president has done so little
as Arthur did to obtain a second term.
Il was well, not only for the sake of
he high example he set, but for his
,wn sake also. Arthur's health was
not equal to the strain Of another
and another term in
he White House, where he lived not
wisely but too well. In less than two
,ears after leaving the presidency, fol
owed by the good wiz Of all the pc
lie, he was dead of apoplexy.
