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 p-Root is
soon realized. It 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
80 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. II is on sale

Moffat to Reduce Rates

Express commodity rates, based up
on 60 per cent of first-class express
rates now In effect on the Denver 4
Salt Lake (MOffaD railroad, win be
put into effect In the immediate future
by order of the Colorado State Public
Utilities Commission upon one days
notice to the Moffat road and the
American Railway Express Company.
The new rates on specified commodi-
ties represent 20 per cent reduction
In the present rates being charged on
these commodities. This settlement OF
the rate controversy on the Moffat
road was arrived at when those pro-
testing what they termed excessive
rates, and representatives of the ex-
press company and the railroad agreed
TO such proposal. at is further stip-
ulated and agreed that the commodi-
ties to be shipped at the rates named
shall include berries, fresh fruits and
vegetables, bakery goods, such as
bread and cakes, pies and rolls, etc. !;
fish, oysters, fresh meats, butter and
eggs, poultry, both live and dressed,
and other specific commodities that we
are unable to think of at this time that
generally move under seeond-class exs
press rates and designated as second
class under the express classification"
stated Attorney Charles Il. Brock for
the railroad. This was also agreed to
by all parties concerned. President II.

Tunnel Commission declared that 90
900 citizens of the northwestern part
Of the state propose to initiate an
other fair amendment for the Moffat
tunnel construction, despite "the big
railroad and coal lobby working for
the abolishment of the State Railroad
commissions. Charles III. Leckenby of
Steamboat Springs, former state au-
ditor, showed how ordinary express
and freight matter was being sent by
parcels post because a ton shipped by
parcels post from Denver to Steamboat
Springs costs only $23, compared to
SIOS.2g by first-class express, and S54
by first-class freight.
