Thousands Have kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
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. It stands tine highest for
Its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of tho
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
90 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 sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

New Bidders

ashington.--Another offer for pur-
chase and lease of the governments
properties at Muscle Shoals, Ala, was
completed Wednesday and arrange
ments made by It's sponsors, the Ala
bama Power company, for immediate
filing with Secretary Weeks.
The Alabama Power company pro-
poses completion Of the Wilson dam
without further advance of expendi-
lures by the United States" and the
outright purchase Of the Warrior pow
er plant, on the Gorgas river, situated
on ground already owned by the power
company. The properties would be
leased by the power company for a
period of so years, after which they
would be subject to recapture by the
government"
The offer, outlined In a letter to
Secretary Weeks, stated 1t to be the
company's purpose TO install at the
start a plant of 100000 horse power

in accordance with the federal water
power act as may be necessary to
meet the market demands"

Whenever the safety of the United
States demands, the letter said. "the
United States shall have the right as
more fully provided in the federal
water power act, to take over and
operate the project for manufacture
ing nitrates, explosives, or munitions
of war, or for any other purposes"
| The offer differed from those re-
celved from Frederick c. Engstrum
OF Wilmington, n. c., or so far as
Is known from that proposed by c.
Q. Tinker, head of the construc-
ton company of North America, with
headquarters Mt San Francisco In that
none of these agreed to function un-
der the provisions of the federal wa
ter power act.
The Alabama Power company claims
an option to purchase the Warrior

DESTROYERS ARE
LYING IDLE NOW
MANY SHIPS ARE NOW ~ vARI.
Gus PORTS WITH GREATLY
DEPLETED COMPLIMENTS
More Than Two Hundred OF AmerI-
cas- Destroyers Are Reported to
Have Depleted Crews; DENLY
Does Not Favor Reduction

Neutrality-suspicious. than 200 destroy
ers Of the United States navy are now
lying in various ports with depleted
crews, barely sufficient In number to
keep up their intricate mechanism. Ad-
miral Robert Il. Coontz, chief of naval
operations, testified before the house
naval committee. Only slxty-five ships
of this class are in operating commits
sion," the admlral said, and the crews
of these are being maintained at 80
per cent normal strength.
Supporting Secretary Denby's rec
ommendation that the enlisted strength
of the navy be not reduced below 90
90, the witness said that the 100 de-
stroyers which would be placed wholly
out of commission to make possible
the reduction of 10000 men In the
navy suggested by Secretary DENLY,
"will deteriorate to greater or less
extent" while laid up.
AS to the effect Of the naval llmita-
ton treaty, Admiral Co6ntz said:
"The result of the limitations of
armament conference will be to place
upon each sIgnatory power the onus
Of keeping Its tonnage allotments up
to the razor edge of efficiency. Should
We reduce below the minimum stated
by the secretary of the navy, 1t VIII be
reduction by example and not by
agreement.
"The measure OF the ratio OF 500
win be the efficiency and sufficiency
of the personnel of the fleet. No other
nation has taken any actual step to-
ward reducing It's personnel.
