The eradication Of pocket gophers Is

was treated was an unfailing source

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 rs 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
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.

Newly harvested small grain should
not be stored unthrashed for any
length of time, as in this condition 1t
is very susceptible to infestation. If
promptly thrashed and stored In deep
bins, only thin layer on top Of the
bin is likely to become infested. Corn
may be stored in the shuck If the husk
Is long and tight and fully covers the
tip, but all ears with loose, broken,
short or damaged husks should be
shucked and stored separately.
Avoid Dirty Bins.
Clean grain should never be stored

Bags Of all kinds that have previous

selman occupied Room 702.
A disturbance in this room yesterday
attracted the attetion of hotel en-
ployee, and after the. room had been
entered and it's occupant was found to
be muttering incoherently, other en-
ployees were called, and an effort made
to quiet Mr.. Counselman. He showed
resistance, and was not downed until
three men had taken hold of him. His
resistance stopped as suddenly as it
started, though he continued his NUT
tering as he was being taken to the am
bulance. His condition was reported
last night to be virtually unchanged.
Mr.. Counselman is the son Of n
prominent Chicago broker, and had
been living for some time at the Con
gress Hotel in Chicago. He checked
out August 81 and left no forwarding
address, according to dispatches from
Chicago last night
