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. 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.. 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 a sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

they are seeking to advance. 1t would
take two or three columns of this
newspaper merely to print list of
the organizations and associations that
are here to keep congress mindful OF
their interests.
In this great clamor the common
public interest is likely to be sub
merged. In fact. too often it has been
submerged. This matter Of economies
and reorganizing the business Of the
government and taking up the tedious
details of administration is dull bust
ness. 1t has been neglected and put
off time after time because of lack
of public interest and driving force
behind it.
If you will supply this driving force
now and display sustained interest,
YOU can at least put the business OF
government of the United States on
an efficient basis. Congress has been
negligent because you have been negli'

run along so far that something must

various reasons, including possible
new legislation, the operations of the
shipping board, the railroad adminis-
tration, and fluctuation in current re-
ceipts Of the postoffice department,
cannot be predicated at this time, the
above amount is that much OF con-
tribution to more favorable relation.
This fine response to your request
from the heads Of the departments
and Independent organizations and bu-
reau chiefs, incidental to your assump-
ton of responsibility as the business
head of governmental administration,
infers the existence In their minds of
three principles involving improve
ment In governmental business, which
should not be overlooked
First, that the business organiZa-
tion of government hereafter assumes
that the minimum amount of money
to be expended in any fiscal year Is
not, of necessity, the sum apprOpri-
ated in advance by congress, but the
smallest amount upon which the bust
ness of the government can he eff
ciently administered under the pro-
gram outlined by congress.
Second, that the minds of the bust
ness administrators of government
reliance upon the custom of deficiency
appropriations.
Third, that where congress has di-
| rected the expenditure of certain sums
for specific purposes, an executive
pressure will now be exerted for more
efficient and economical administration
| in order to produce greater result from
| the given expenditure, and also wher-
ever possible, to complete the given
| project for less amount than the
total appropriated for the purpose"
The budget system was established
| because of an acute public interest in
| the expenditures of government, ac.
| lively and continuously displayed by
| the tax payers. 1t was established in
response to public demand. The
house of representatives has changed
its way of appropriating money to con
form to the budget system. 1t has
only one great appropriation commit
tee which authorizes all the eXpendi
lures for the house. The senate has
not followed suit. If this newly in
stalled budget system is to be sue
cess it must have your active support
and understanding and derive an added
authority from your approval and sup
port.

BUDGET SYSTEM A START

Inc remedy Is already being applied
to remove some of the conditions
nave described. A budget plan has
peeh put into effect. A director of the
budget, In the person Of Gen. Charles
u. Dawes, has been appointed to Of
nee. General Dawes Is at work now
trying to find out in detail where the
money comes from which you pay to
run the government and where It goes
ana how properly to apportion it
among the spending agencies of the
government. He is just at the begin
ming Of his big task, but the work has
begun. That Is the important thing.

vides for the presentation by the
PRESIDENT of regular and alternative
budget Of the United States to congress

covering the fiscal year ending June
80. 1923.
Recognizing in the budget machinery
created by this law an agency through
which executive policy and pressure
Involving better business administra-
tion could be eXerted, Mr.. Harding
assembled on June 90 1921, for the
first time, the heads of departments
and Independent organizations and bu-
reau chiefs, and after announcing n
government policy of economy and eff
ficiency, directed that an immediate
attempt with the budget machinery be
made to reduce expenditures under the
appropriations of the current year end

daddy. "He had been looking about
at the world, standing on his hind
legs and seeing all there was to see.
For Willie Woodchuck Is very
curious little fellow. He had had
fine winters nap. He had slept in his
nice warm burrow all through the
winter and had not once been dis
turbed.
He was beginning to think of veg
etables and summer food, and he was
watching to see what the farmers
about were going to do.
"He hadn't stored up food for the
winter the way so many other animals
had, but he had eaten more and more
during the latter part of the summer.
And he had become fatter and fatter
"In fact If he had eaten any more
he would have been so fat he could
hardly have moved, and Willie Wood
chuck wanted to move as far as his
winter bed at any rate.
"He had looked about him In the
early spring and had travelled quite
good deal to find a nice new home.
And he had found place where he
! had fixed up beautiful home.
Mrs. Willie WOodchuck had liked
the big main room and the little kinds
! Of balconies or extra rooms they had
built for themselves. There Mrs. VIII
/ lie looked after the many little wood
chuck children.
"They were very helpless at first
and she had had to watch them well,
! rs they slept in their warm nest of
| grasses.
after a little while they became
! stronger and Mrs. Willie would allow
them to go out and play at the outside
Of their hole.
"There they would frolic in the
warm spring sunshine and whistle
and call and chatter
Mother Woodchuck taught them to
| fight If they were attacked but to
leave creatures alone If they weren't
bothered by them first.
"Another name Tor woodchuck fam
lily is that of ground hog. Willie
| Woodchuck didn't like to be called by
his other name.
"But some of his relations did. Yor
see, there Is an old belief that wher
the ground hog or wOodchuck comes
forth after his winters sleep to look
about him 1t is sign Of spring.
sit Is the belief. that If he can see
his shadow because of the sun shining
and making this possible it means
The Dolores star., 1922-03-24

that more cold weather will follow
and that he then will go back to
sleep for another six weeks or so.
"If he doesn't see his shadow SOME
people think the spring will come
along rapidly from then on.
.'That Is what people mean when
they say that the ground hog has
seen his shadow. They mean that
there will be another six weeks of
winter and that the ground hog has
gone back to sleep for those six
weeks.
'If they say that he has not seen
his shadow then they say that the
spring will be right along. They be-
lieve then that 1t will be very early
spring.
"Now some members of the Ground
Hog family like it because they arc
thought of so much at that time OF
the year. They think 1t fine because
there are stories written about them
and little pieces in the paper as to
whether they have seen their shadows
or not.
"But Willie WoodchucR isn't so fond
of the name Of Ground Hog.
"-'Call me Willie Woodchuck,' is
what he squeals. Ground Hog
sounds too much like Porky Pig and
Sammy Sausage and Miss Ham and
all of that greedy family.
"I like to be called WILLIE
Mrs. Willie thought the same wa!
about it. but there are plenty of others
who're very proud Of being known
only as the Ground Hog family.

have been, first, the excessive proper

of expenditures, which have been in

the budget system; and third, the hap
