Beef Shipments Will Go Late

Stockmen will ship their beef to
the market later this year than usual,
according to reports coming from sew
eral parts Of the state. Conditions
for keeping livestock on the ranges
late are good and there is plenty Of
hay for winter feeding. Shipping
will not be close this year, it is pre-
dicted, because of the apparent ad-
vantage in holding stock. Several
years ago the livestock holdings In
some sections were reduced to a point
where recently there has been more
range and more hay than could be
used by the stock that is in the coun-
try.

Judging from reports from druggistG

soon realized. It stands the highest for

An examining physician for one Of che
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.

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
