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 appica-
tons 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., Binghamtcn, n. Y, for
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

PRESIDENT WOULD
CLEAN POLITICS
Economists Told That Economy
Is a Hard Undertaking.
SAYS EXPENSES MUST BE CUT
Declares for "Stony- Hearted" Business
Administration in Cutting Of Place
Holders in Speech at Luncheon
Given in New York.

New York, May 24.-Speaking today
before a distinguished gathering of
political economists, educators and
students of government, President
Harding declared that one of the most
difficult problems he is facing is the
task of bringing economy and eff
cheney into the government"
Government Must Economic,
Inertia and indifference, he said,
must be combatted at every point, "the
loyalty of certain class of poll
ticians' is not in the undertaking
and the task is "thankless and I'M
gracious" but he pledged his admin
istration anew to successful accom-
plishment. No business, no household,
he declared, could continue to spend
money as indiscriminately and as
loosely as the government has spent it
without leading to disaster"
President Harding spoke at a lunch
con of the Academy of Political Sci
ence at the Hotel Astor.
Must Gust "Pace Holder"
Nothing is easier in a government
establishment" the President said,
than to continue in existence offices,
positions and employment, once they
are created. 1t requires persistent,
determined, stony-hearted devotion to
public interest. There must be utter
sacrifice of all sympathy for the place
holder, whose real reason for keep
ing his position is that he wants the
salary. Inertia, which is cas-
lily the greatest farce in governmental
organization, must be combatted at
every point.
Calls Task ThankIess.
1.-THE administration which devotes
itself relentlessly to such work must
understand that it will lose a great
deal of immediate loyalty on the part
Of certain class Of politicians, which
will not be compensated to it at once
in the appreciation of the public
Nevertheless, thankless and I'M
gracious as the task will be for most
of those who devote their efforts to
it, it must and will be attacked, it is
being attacked, with all determination.
Needs Support of Public.
I'm all departments this sort of
work is already progressing under
executive orders within the power Of
the executive. We shall need the full
support of enlightened public opln-
ion"
