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-Roo 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 sc
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not ever suspect
that they have the disease.
DIR. 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, Bingham
ton, N. Y, for a sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

SORRY SHE DIDN'T LIKE 1T

The friend sided up to the show
case, and when the fussy shopper was
trying on a yellow-flowered creation,
she seized the hat and viewed the eff
feet in the glass, exclaiming: ugh !

"Excuce me, madam" icily said the
fussy shopper, that is my own hat /

almost within sight of the capital are
forests that abound with wild game,
offered at nil seasons in the Mexico
City markets.
Venison is a staple and wild ducks
and geese may be purchased for n few
%centavos. Live quail as well as varie-
ties of pheasants and pigeons are sold
on the streets by peddlers. Indians
from the hills frequently trudge to the
city with a wild boar, and turkeys may
be had for the price of n paltry tip to
a native hunter.
If one is so inclined, a tender
monkey may be procured for Sunday
baking, a dish that Mexican epicures,
especially of the tropical regions, rel

also let congress know that in his
opinion the tariff is the most important
matter before 1t, and that II should

disposed of. Then. and not until then,
he thinks the soldiers bonus bill
should be taken up. McCumber and
other senators who are pushing the
bonus legislation showed a disposition
to disregard this advice from the
White House and went ahead with
plans for s~idetracking the tariff in
favor of the bonus this week. They
