TRIES TO TRACE ARMY SLANG
"Doughboy," an Tell the World" and
"out Of Luck" "o!d Stuff" New
Yorker Says.

If the American ''dOughboy" who
started I'm tell the world" as char
acteristlc expression of the A. L. f.
took pride In having coined new ex-
preston he was "out of luck" accord
ing TO Henry Dwight, Yonkers, n. Y.
who has been trying to trace army
slang to its source.
In relating his uncertain success and
asking the assistance OF. the demobil-
lied world at large, Mr.. Dwight de-
clares that each of the three supposed
innovations is time-worn.
Referring to the expressions quoted
above, he claims that General Custer,
the Indian fighter. used .''doughboy" In
letters to his wife. and that Arthur
Young. writer and traveller, announced
himself as being 'out Of luck" when
hunting for mail at Dillon. France. in
1889.

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
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, II you wish
first to test this great preparation send
ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y, for sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

did not say whether your wedding is
to be held in the afternoon or in the
