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 fol
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 80
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 q
sample b1ttle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

CHANGE UNLIKELY
ON GERMAN PEACE
UNAVOIDABLE DISCUSSION MEN
ACE TO MORAL EFFECT OF
SUPPORTING FRANCE
CONFERENCE NOT PUBLISHED
Republican Leaders Believe Harding
Will Not Approve Any Change
In Resolution

shingtOn.-Without subjecting il
to prolonged and bitter discussion
and thus greatly lessening it's intended
moral administration leaders
cannot obtain the adoption of the
Knox peace resolution so amended as
| TO reassure France concerning the fu-
ture attitude of this country. There
fore. adoption of the resolution in es-
sentially the same form as reported by
the senate foreign relations commit
tee last session is practically assured.
Any effort to affix to it a declaration
of continued support of the allies or
of the French, designed to impress
Germany and hearten France, will meet
with instant opposition by the social
ed irreconcilables.
These senators do not believe, in
spite of repeated reports, that President
Harding has any idea of suggesting
such an addition to the Knox resolu-
ton. They point out that he opposed,
when in the senate, a similar attempt
to fasten onto the peace resolution a
declaration of future policy toward
Europe.
Silence has been maintained both
at the white house and at the sena-
tors office concerning the course TAX
en- in the two hour conversation be-
tween the president and Senator Knox
recently, but there is reason to believe
it had to do rather with tn eexact time
Nfrh hn cd oh
be attempted, rather than with any
suggestion that the resolution be mod
flied.
The senate is ready to pass the origi-
nal resolution again as soon as it
meets. But, since it is anticipated that
the administration will make some
sore of pronouncement probably
through the state department fur
nishing the encouragement that Vivi-
AMI is seeking, and since there are
certain other diplomatic negotiations
Under way, including those on cables,
'or example, Senator Knox is not de-
'irous of embarrassing the presidents |
His own desire is to have |
he resolution adopted at once, but |
lie is prepared to fit it in with the
general program.
Senator Borah, one of the most act
We of the irreconcilables, denied re-
emily that he had any thought of
opposing the Knox resolution.
Il am thoroughly in favor of it as
passed last session. he said. Il OPP
osed then the Interpolation of any
base or clause that undertook to de-
lare our future policy. Such clause
yas taken out of the resolution, on
~ motion, in committee"
