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 mid 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
tonshing 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-
lions 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.

ing income tax returns showing tax
able income, aggregated 52,49S in the
calendar year 1909, and that number
increased to 232,O79 for the calendar
year 1917. The number Of individuals
making personal income tax returns
aggregated 357,59S for the calendar
year 1918, and that number increased
to 3,472,S90 for the calendar year 1917.
For the fiscal year 1909 the total
ordinary receipts aggregated $685., $780,
4S9S4, of which $300,711, 1895 came
from customs duties, $246, PIP, 643.59
came from internal revenue, and the
balance was received from the sale Of
public lands and other miscellaneous
items; whereas, for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1919, the total re-
ceipts from customs amounted to $1S4,-
457 ,S67.39, while the internal revenue,
including income taxes and corpora
ton and excess profits taxes, amounted
to $3,S39,95O,612O5.
So you will see that until 1910 the
money you paid toward the support
of the government was slipped away
from you so easily that you hardly
knew anything about it. You did not
know that you were paying taxes to
the national government.
Indirect taxation is the most Sc
ductive form Of raising public rev.
enue. You never came in contact with
the federal government except when you
bought a postage stamp. But now you
know it every time you buy drink at
a soda fountain, or bottle of medi-
cine, or sand a telegram, or make a
long-distance telephone call, or per-
form any one Of a score of other nor
NAL activities of daily life. Some
thing must be put in the kitty for the
government. It's annual rakeOff runs
into the bilious. You pay it and the
government spends it.
But all that part Of the party is
about over noN. The oysters have
been eaten and put in the bill. They
must be paid for. 1t is perfectly clear
that in the future by far the greater
part of the revenue required for con-
Quoting the public business must come
from direct taxes. 1t is also clear
that the ordinary expenses for run
ming the government will in future
probably exceed four billion dollars a
year. That is lot Of money to take
out of your pockets, and mine. Hadn't
we better see what is done with it, and
whether we can save any of it? Con-
gress, which is very far-sighted, and

I have been asked many times, and
particularly since this series began /:
"What is the remedy for the condition
and situation of government business
that you have described? What can
we, the average man or woman with
out influence, and with no knowledge
Of politics, what can we do about it?'
Well, the answer is that you can do
everything about it. The remedy lies
wholly within your own hands, as l
have tried to point out in each one
of the articles that have preceded
this one. 1t is a remedy easy to pre-
scribe but, confess, difficult to put
into effect.
Difficult, I mean, In the sense that
you will have to give up time from
your own engrossng private affairs to
pay some attention to what you prob
ably think of as public affairs and, as
such, not concerning you. The whole
point l have to make is that public
affairs are your affairs.
l do not suggest that you 60 into
politics. l do not suggest that you
attend political meetings. I do. sug-
gest that you take an interest, a direct
personal interest, in the business OF
government as distinguished from the
politics of government. ..l.k:' )"
A part of the remedy you ask for
the conduct of the BUSINESS of govern
nent has been applied when the facts
and the conditions are spread broad
cast and made known to every tax
rayer. Bad conditions are in way
TO be remedied when .theys become
