Mr.: Balfour, with his ripe craftsmanship, looks

there can be no peace or ordered liberty throughout

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
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
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-
tons 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 g. Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y, for sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

MUD AS A DEFECT

A West Virginia educator at

he regarded as the greatest de-
feet in American education, and
he said i'm his district 1t was
mud. Bad roads can be the
greatest defect I'm any communi-
ty. They can be the greatest de-
feet in education. when they do
not permit the regular attend
ance Of children in school. They
can be the greatest defect in
farming, when they do not per
NIT the moving of crops. They
can be the greatest defect in any
kind of activity, when they pre-
vent the communication needed.
A bad road is bad road
whether 1t is a bad street car
system, bad steam road or
