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. 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 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.. Kilmers 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.

Mr.. Gibney gets word to towing
company in San Francisco that the
ship ashore is the Yankee Prince,
with promise of a rich salvage.
Two tugs succeed in pulling the
Maggie into deep water, and she
slips her tow lines and gets away
in the fog. Furious at the decep-

Hicks and Flaherty, commanding
the two tugboats, ascertain the
identity of the Yankee Prince"
and, fearing ridicule should the
facts become known along the wa

vengeance. Their hostile visit to
the Maggie results in Captain
Scraggs promising to get new

the steamer. Scraggs refuses to
fulfill his promises and Gibney and

WORD CHANGED IN MEANING
Modern FiIbuster is Comparatively
Harmless Proceeding, Considering
What Ii Once Meant.

When legislator attempts to delay
the progress of a measure he disap-
proves of, in the hope of preventing its
passage, spending hours upon hours de-
batting it, he is called a "filibuster."
The only parliamentary body In the
world where flibustering to the ex-
IRENE is countenanced and where it
has. chance of success Is the United
States senate.
The real meaning of the word "fili-
buster is lawless adventurer, espe-
ciaIly one in quest OF plumber. The
term Is derived from-the original fill
busters, who were West INDIAN pirates.
The name Is traceable to that of the
small. fast-sailing vessels which used
to be called "filibotes" or "f1y-boats."
Gradually the meaning of the ex-
preston began to embrace all sorts Of
military adventure. American usage
finally broadened the phrase to such an
extent that 1t now includes those SEN
ators or congressman who use obstruc-
tive and iilatory tactics to gain their
ends.

Even after allowing for the expendi-

on Captain Scraggs, that individual
continued morose and more than ever

Mr.. Gibney arched his bushy eye
brows. "How do you known" he de-
handed.
"He was a-tellin' me-" Mr. McGuffey
admitted weakly.
"Well, he wasn't a-tellin' me-" Mr.
