Trouble and Never

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 u
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record Of succeas.
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the a.
tonishing statement that ons reason why
30 many applicants for insurance arc re-
jected il because kidney trouble 10 %
common to the American people, and the
large majority Of those whose applications
arc declined do not even suspect that they
have tho disease. Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles
oil 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 .
sample bottle. When writing be sure and

State Banks

DROTESTING against the growing

croach on the business Of state instltu-
lions by the establishment Of
"branches" In small towns, Congress-
man Millspaugh of Missouri, spoke as
follows from his place In the house
Of representatives:
"Mr. Speaker, there has been for
some years growing disposition OH
the part Of some Of the larger banks
to encroach upon the business of the
smaller financial institutions by the
establishment of branches or feeders"
as we might term them. This has
been accomplished to n large extent
by the acquisition Of control of smaller
banks by the larger banks through
purchase; hut recently some of the
larger national banks have sought
authority from the comptroller of the
currency to establish branches, par

banks to establish branches, giving rs
reason the fact that they could not
successfully compete with the state
