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. Kilmers Swamp Root is soon realized It 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. kilmar'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. kimer & O., Bingham ton, N. Y., for sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper. Advertisement.

The next dose of calomel you take may salivate you. It may shock your liver or start bone necrosis. Calomel IS dangerous. It is mercury, quicksil- yer It crashes into sour bile like dynamite, cramping and sickening you. talomel attacks the bones and should never be put into your system.
 If you feel bilious. headachy, consti. pated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get bottle of Dod- sons Liver Tone for few cents which Is harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel Take spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without making you sick. you just go back and get your money.
 Don't take calomel! It can not be trusted any more than leopard or a wildcat. Take Dodson's Liver Tone which straightens you right up and makes. you feel fine. No salts rsces- sary. Give it to the children because it is perfectly harmless and can not saiivate.-Advertisem

Lund sooner or later, meant to take her. willing or unwilling. He had said so. none too covertly, that very evening. And, if Rainey meant to stand between her and Lund as pro- tect0r, Lund would accept him in that character only as the girls lover and his rival.
 For the time being. the safety of the Karluk and the successful carry ing out of the purpose of the trip took all of Lund's attention and energy. Twice he had been thwarted by the weather from gleaning his golden har- vest, and it began to look as If the third attempt might be no more for tunate.
 ''The Karluk's stout" he said once, but she ain't built for the Arctic. If we git nipped badly she'll go like an eggshel."
 And then what?' Rainey asked.
 "Git the gold, That's what we come for. If we have to make sleds an' use the hunters for dorg team" He laughed indomitabIy Well make man sf you yit, Rainey, afore we git back"
 Lund was snatching sleep in scraps, seeking always to feel way toward the position of the island through the ice that continually baffled progress
 Against all opposition he forced his way until. just after sunset one night, as the dusk swept down. he gave shout and pointed to fiti'ul flare over the port bow. Rainey thought it the aurora. but Lund laughed at him.
 "It's the crater atop the island" he said. "Nothin dangerous. Reg'lar lighthouse. Now, boys" he went on, his deep voice ringing with exhilara- ton. there's gold in sight Whistle for change of weather, every moth CTS son of you l'

"Harum- Scarum."

Harum-scarum Is perfectly good word used in connection with a person who is exceedingly wild. reckless or thoughtless. The word probably origi. mated from a combination of the two English verbs, hare" to excite or worry, and scare" to frighten. Locke, in his Essay on Education" uses hare" as verb in this manner:
 ITO hare and rate them is not tc teach but to vex them"
 la this country, 1t is generally sup. posed that ''harum-scarum" Is an Americanization, due probably to Washington Irving's us,> af 1t in his "Alhambra," where he wrote:
 From walk, the horse soon passed to trot, from a trot to a gal iop and from a gallop to harun- scarum scamper."

WATCH YOUR WAIST LINE
BY MARIAN HALE

NEW YORK.-The very low .sashed
sown has had an enormous run and
probably will extend quite into the
summer season. But there is a
noticeable tendency in the advance
models toward the natural waist line
and even rumors of the really raised
line.
However the placing of the waist
line is really an individual matter.
The secret of the thing is in knowing
oneself and ones gown.
This lovely Claire model-a grace
full combination of chiffon, Italian
lace and organdie-is sashed quite
at the natural waist line, thing
done with an eye admirably sensi.
tive to line and balance. Another
swagger bit which is done with the
wide sash is the drape effect at the
left-the wide heavy silk of the sash
extends below the rather indistinct
hem line.
