he sang this song:
ITS the s%pringtime, It's the ~sprlngtime'
It's the time for love and rhyme.
It's the season for Toads' singing
OF the way their love they're bringing
To the beautiful Miss Toads.
NOW l love only you.
Indeed, indeed that's true.
My little heart is beating
Because Of this, our meeting,
Because of dear Miss Toad.
Miss Toad, will you mine?
And show by a sign.
That my Toad love you won't refuse.
For If you did 'twould give me blues.
Dear Miss Toad. accept!
my song may sound quite sad,

My music sounds strange maybe.

Say yes. lear Miss Toad!
"Oh, Miss Toad, please marry me,
And we will very happy be.
Well be such loving toads, al yes,
That when you look at your wedding

You'll say, I'm glad I welded him.
MAY | cease my song for awhile
And watch your sweetest. best Toad
smile?
And will you say you love me true.
As | love you. as | love you,
My dearest dear Miss Toad?"
Now Miss Toad could not keep quiet
any longer. OF course she could not
sing as Mr.. Toad could, but she could
tell him her answe and talk to him.
And he understood without her hav,
Ing to croak or sing. Oh yes, Mr.
Fowler Toad understood.
"We mustn't be selfish in our happi,

the wedding. LET US give lectures

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
30 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 & &C., Bingham
ton, N. Y, for a sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

the preamble of the magma charta"

Across the Asiatic %litoral, Japan
promises to contribute her portion of

Apparently some compromise on the

Differences developed between Eng.

On the questions of war debts, Eng.

When his attention was called to the

that the soviet has subsequently
changed its position and therefore the
