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 healing
influence of Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp.Root il
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 az
tonishing statement that one reason why
20 many applicants for insurance are 70
jected is because kidney trouble is 30
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. It 10 on sale

fine Inc: CROPS sure
Farmers in Western Canada
JubiIant at Prospect.
Splendid Winter Weather Has Put the
Naturally Fertile Land in Splen-
did Condition, and Bountiful
Yields Are Assured.

"What a delightful winter we have
had" is an expression that could be
heard almost anywhere when the
topic of the weather became the sub
ject of conversation. Not only in the
Middle West and "down east" could
it be heard, but also in the Far West,
up in the Canadian West. There
the same remarkable features that
brought forth wonderful winter ex-
listed. Reports from all parts of the
country, from famed Medicine Hat in
Alberta to Winnipeg in Manitoba, In
dicate that all through the winter
season very little cold weather was
experienced. In December, we read
that golf playing had put into the dis
card all ice sports, that farmers were
caught ''red-handed" plowing their
delds. In January, the Alberta yeo-
man got out his tractor and in his
shirt sleeves was seen preparing
ground for the 1921 crop. During
February, in Saskatchewan. one
farmer narrowed fifty acres and
planted the seed. "Why. yes, of
course, in March," said an Iowa
farmer, who had jast heard from his
son. who was looking after the West
ern Canadian farm. ''my boy writes
me they had some snow, and a few
cold dips. but what did that matter?
The cattle and the horses came
through the winter In better condition
than they looked three or four months
ago. Grass was plentiful on the pras
ries. the stubble was rich and valu-
able as food. and the straw stacks
and groves proved ample for shelter"
Spring is now fully upon the West
ern Canada farmer, his machinery is
all in shape for springs work, and
he is looking forward to an excellent
crop year. Last fall there was a
splendid lot of moisture that perlne-
ated the ground sufficiently to leave
a perfect seed bed. Indications are
now that the crop will go in in the
condition required for successful ger.
mination. Then. with the heightened
OdyS VI AAdy anu tHc
hours of sunshine that they bring, ac-
companied by showers Of rain, and
with soil of which there is none
richer nor more generous, there will
be seen preparing for ripening har-
vest the hundreds of thousands of
acres of wheat, oats, barley, rye, al
falfa and corn that will make the
hearts of the Western Canada farmers
swell with pride us they reasonably
look forward to an abundant harvest.
There is a great deal that can be
said in favor of the climate of West
ern Canada. The most important is
that those who live there, and have
lived in other countries, prefer it to
any they have experienced elsewhere.
1t is true the winters as q rule are
colder than are those in countries
lying much farther south, but it is
also true that they are tempered by
dryness of the atmosphere that
makes q lower temperature preferable
to that several degrees higher where
greater humidity prevails. Enerva-
ton and listlessness are unknown !;
the air is bracing, but the cold is not
penetrating. Then the summers and
the autumns-they could not be more
ble.-Advertisement.

Of the 1900 motor vehicles stolen

the outside chain will fasten the anti

the paddock will allow enough slack of
