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 applications
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 DIR.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and

"Sure, I'll be writing some notes to
go inside"
Gramont went to a buhl writing
desk in the corner Of the room, and sat
down. He took out his notebook, tore
off several sheets, and from his pocket
produced pencil having an extremely
hard lead. He wrote a number of
notes, which, except for the addresses,
were identical in content:
Dear Sir:
81 inclose herewith certain jcwelry
and articles, also currency, recently
obtained by me under your kind aus
pieces.
81 trust that you will assume the
responsibility of returning these
things to the various guests who lost
them while under your roof. / regret

turn. Please convey to the several
owners my profound esteem and my
assurance that | shall not in future
appear to trouble anyone, the carni-
val season having come to an end,
and with it my little jest.
1.-THE MIDNIGHT MASQUER."
Gathering up these notes in his
hand, Gramont went to the fireplace.
He tossed the pencil into the fire, fol-
lowing it with the notebook.
Cant take chances with that man
Fell" he explained. "All ready, SER
geant. Let's go down the list one by
one"
From the trunk Hammond produced
ticketed packages, which he placed
on the table. Gramont selected one,
opened il, carefully packed the con-
tents in one of the boxes, placed the
proper addressed note on top, and
handed it 10 the chauffeur.
WRAP it up and address 1t. Give
the return address of John Smith,

One by one they went through the

GRAFTON side by side with platinum

There had been Feartburnings in
the loss Of these things, Gramont
knew. He could picture to himself
something of what had followed his
rObberies: family quarrels, new pur-
chases in the gem marts, bitter re-
proaches, fresh mortgages on old her
itages, vexations of wealthy dowagers,
shrugs of uncOncern by the nouveaxx

divorces
There's a lot Of human life behind
these baubles, sergeant" he reflected
aloud, a cold smile upon his lips as
he worked. "When they come back to

But Probably Girl Is More Than Ever
Convinced Public Speaking Is
Not Her Forte,

My cousin had always been a most
timid girl, finding 1t difficult to say
much even before home folks, let alone
strangers.
She was a member Of a church So
ciety. One of the rules was that each
member must take some part in the
meetings. She had tried and tried, but
could never get her courage up at the
last minute.
Finally, the leader, to help her out,
gave her some Scripture verses to read.
They read as follows: "And bring
hither the fatted calf and kill it,"
Maize started the verse, and to her
utter dismay, found herself saying:
"And bring hither the Gated half and
fill it,"
She could read no further and sat
down amid giggles.-Chicago Tribune.
