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 DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
it's 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 applica-
tions 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
first to test this great preparation send
ten cents to DIR. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton, N. T., for sample bottle. When
writing ,e sure and mention this paper.

PROTECTS POLE FROM DECAY
New Preservative Said to Be the Most
Effective That Has Been Put
on the Market.

A new preservative which Is ex-
pected to surpass other compounds
used for similar purposes, and which
it is claimed the life of wooden poles
into which it is introduced will Be
prolonged by anywhere from seven to
twelve years, is being used. The fluid
is composed of three constituents, one
of high penetrating quality, such as
zinc, magnesium or calcium-chloride
solution or a sugar solution, and a
second of high antiseptic value, such
as sublimate, plenol or cresol. The
third and most important element is
one of long-continued effect, consist
ing of a slowly soluble antiseptic or
slowly decomposing metal powder.
This constituent in combination with
a granular substance, such as pow
dered glass, is used to protect the
wood in the vicinity of the puncture
through which the other personalities
are introduced.-Po Mechanics

The Flavor Lasts
FEW EYES REALLY NORMAL
Just as One Is Right or Left-Handed,
So 1t Is With the Organs
of Vision.

Very few people realize that they
are as much right-eyed or left-eyed
as they are right or left-handed.
Sit down in a chair and fix your at
tention on some subject on the other
side of the room. Quickly hold your
finger up right in front of the object,
and instantly shut your eyes. Then
without moving your head or your
finger, open your eyes one at time.
If, when you open your right eye, you
find your finger directly in front of
the object, you are right-eyed In
that case you will find your finger
very much to the right of the object
when you open your left eye.
IF you are right-handed you will
most probably find that you are right
eyed.
This is due to the fact that of the
two halves of your brain one is slight
ly more developed than the other. And
the organs and limbs on that side of
your body which is controlled by the
more developed half are able to carry
ont your wishes more easily and
quickly than those of the other side

the farm went Whitmore. In four
weeks he took off 20 pounds and
asked to be admitted to the second
series of training camps, but the sur
geOn said: '"Too fat to fight" An
other examiner said: "Too DID,"
Whitmore went from recruiting Of
fee to recruiting office until he be-

A young woman was on motoring

perceptible. The man at the road
side garage told them it was a hot
box. It'll take me about 20 minutes
to fix it," he said.
T The owner stood watching him a
minute as he got to work; then she
said: by the way, while you're about
it, wish you'd grind the valves, take
up a foot brake and fill all the grease
cups. You'll have to work lively. I'll
give you just half an hour"

ceeded on the assumption that II is
without authority TO appropriate for

In a very general way the reduc-
tions in the estimates has been
brought about largely by providing
for naval enlisted foIcc OF 1000
instead OF $4,000 men. and for a
force OF marines OF 10000. instead OF
~ 400 men.
The bill practically confines public
work to the west coast and the Ha-
waiian Islands. where a pressing need
exists for additional facilities by
reason OF a divided fleet.
The amount carried In this bill for
pay In the navy" is Sl33 .202, ,263.
With the exception OF the nscal year
appropriated for the eut re nsva! es-
adjustment up TO and including 1913.
In reality there is a reduction OF
flT,os2, 400 In the pay or the navy,
largely accounted for by the reduced
enlisted strength.
The original estimated cost OF the
program OF 166 vessels was 1914, 7OO,-
900. II Is now estimated that the
program will cost to complete x972,-
93l.0oo. OF which $53s.S.0, 900 has
been Appropriated heretofore, leaving
yet to be appropriated $44s, ,2TO. 900 at
present costs. The ultimate cost, the
report states-probably will come
well within the revised ngure. which
Is based upon prevailing prices. All
of the vessels in course OF construc-
tion, In private yards are being built
upon the basis Of actual cost plus a
1Sed fee and the Government there
fore will benefit to the extent OF any
decline In labor or material cost.
