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
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 DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y, for a sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

trade figures, country by country, sug-
gests that the 1927 reduction occurs
in a larger degree in manufactures
than In the natural products, which
had begun to show declines in prices
in the closing months of 1920. In the
case of the United States, the exports
Of finished manufactures show a fall
of practically 80 per cent In value In
1921 when compared with 1920, while
manufacturing material shows re-
duction Of At per cent, and foodstuffs
33 per cent. In. the United Kingdom
statements, the exports Of manu-
factures In 1921 show fall of 4S per
cent, while those of the group food
and drink" show a fall of but 27 per
cent. In nearly all the countries Of the
world whose chief exports are manu-
factures, the per cent Of reduction in
countries whose chief exports are agri-
cultural products. In the 10 principal
countries In which manufactures form
large per cent of exports, the fall
off in their aggregate exports in 1921
is 38 per cent and in the 10 countries
whose chief exports are agricultural
products, the 1921 reduction is but 20
per cent when compared with 1920.
The whole world was compelled to buy
faod and manufacturing materials in
1921, while those who desired to econo-
mize In their purchases of manufac-
lures were better able to do so than
in the matter of food or even manufac-
turing material, and hence 1t happens
that the percentage of reduction in
the value Of manufactures entering
international trade in 1921 is material
ly greater than that Of food or manu-
featuring material.

World international trade in 1921
was only about two-thirds as much in
stated value as in the Immediately pre-
ceding year. Official reports of the
1921 imports and exports of 25 prin-
cipal countries of the world aggre-
gate, when transformed to U. S. dol
lars at the par value of their respec-
tive currencies, approximately $52,-
OOO,OOO,OOO against $79,OO0,OO0,OOO in
1920, a reduction of approximately "a
per cent in stated value.
The principal countries for which
1921 figures are now available include
all of Europe except Russia. Poland,
Germany, Portugal, Greece and the
states formed from the Austro-Hun-
garian empire; the United States,
Canada, Cuba, Argentina, Brazil and
Uruguay in America; India, Japan,
Australia, New Zealand and the Phil
ippines in the Trans-Pacific area;
Egypt and the South African Union in
Africa. They are representative coun-

the world; the European countries,
the United States and Japan, the
worlds great manufacturers; Canada,
Cuba, Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay,
Egypt, South Africa, Australia and

United States also belongs in part to
this second group. Their combined

London Churches Expect More Altar

Increase.

London.-Civil wedding fees here
are about to be increased, and the
church authorities, alarmed at the
growing popularity of register officers,
are expected to seize this opportunity
to induce bridal couples to come to the

According to the registrar general,
civil wedding fees have not been al
tered since they were first fixed, about
sixty years ago, and now he proposes
to introduce a bill into the house of
commons which will give him the pow

Grammatical Slip In Formation OF

single Arabic character has led to the
condemnation of an entire printing of
100000 Egyptian postage stamps of

The word "milliemes," itself being
feminine, requires q masculine number

Inadvertently rendered both the num-
Der and the word In the feminine The
mistake was not discovered until the
stamps reached Egypt, when they
were withheld from circulation until
new plate could be prepared with
corrected inscription.
Instructions have been given that
those wrongly inscribed are to be used
up on official dockets and pOstoff1ce
papers that will eventually be de-
stroyed, without getting into the hands
of privileged individuals, and for
these high prices are being sought.
1t is in dealing with unfamiliar
languages that the stamp printer Is
most prone to err. A case In point is
provided by the New Zealand postage

Savage island some years ago.
The face values Of the stamps were
overprinted In the Niuean language
