Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never
 Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
 Reflected.

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. It 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. 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. Advertisement.

 fected hogs which may be put into garbage cans. Garbage-fed hogs show no greater susceptibility to tubercu losis, pneumonia, or kindred diseases than grain-fed animals. Pork from gar bage-fed hogs is as good in quality as that resulting from other feeds, and the average garbage-fed hogs sell at practically the same prices as ordinary grain-fed animals.
 The garbage from more than S,OOO,- 900 people Is fed to hogs in cities where municipal supplies of pork are produced from waste food products. If fed under suitable conditions this garbage supply is sufficient to produce approximately SO,OOO.OOO pounds of pork year. Generally, it takes about 50 pounds of garbage to produce one pound of marketable pork on the hOof.
 The garbage should be collected at least two or three times a week in northern cities, while in southern cities daily collection should be made during hot weather.
 The equipment for feeding hogs in- cludes self-feeders, troughs, or plat forms. depending on the kind of gar bage fed. Garbage fed on platforms is more readily accessible to the an- imals. Self-feeders need constant at tentiOn to prevent clOgging when the garbage contains melon rinds or corn cobs, or in case 1t freezes. Troughs are useful for feeding garbage that is semiliquid. In all cases the feeding equipment must be kept clean and san- itary.

FEEDING GARBAGE TO SWINE
When Collected Frequently and Well Selected 1t Will Make Good
 Quality of Meat.

(Prepared by the United States Department
 of Agriculture.l
 More than 40,000,OOO pounds of gar bage-fed pork is produced annually throughout the United States from the feeding of table scraps and hotel refuse Heretofore difficulties have been experienced in the economical and satisfactory disposal of city gar bage. The United States Department of Agriculture points out that the use of municipal garbage for the pro- duction of pork offers suitable method for disposal of these waste products and has permitted the repetion of our pork supplies at low cost.
 Garbage which is fed to hogs must be collected with reasonable frequency and be free from tin cans, soap, broken glass, and other undesirable or injurious foreign materials. It is desirable always for cities to make garbage collections and then dispose of it to individuals, associations, or corporations on a contract basis, un- less the city operates it's own hog leeulnS 1arm.
 Longtime contracts are likely to be most satisfactory to all concerned; besides they effect the use of better class of equipment and better sanitary conditions. The pigs or shotes to be fed may be bought as feeders or may be raised on the feeding farm. The latter method gives much more satis- factory results. Methods of feeding, handling, housing, and care may differ considerably so long as the essentials of sanitation and hog comfort are Ob served.
 Equipment for feeding should be adapted to the type of garbage avail able and to local conditions, climate, and transportation. As a rule, raw garbage is preferable to cooked gar bage for the use of hogs. In case the weather should be so cold that the gar bage freezes, it is advisable to thaw it before feeding. Generally the use of grain as supplementary feed for the garbage is not an economical practice, but it must be provided when the supply of garbage is temporarily short.
 Hogs which are to be fed garbage should be immunized against cholera by the double or simultaneous treat ment. Thorough, permanent immuni- zation is very important because of the presence of raw pork scraps from in-

SCIENTIFIC ROAD BUILDING
Test Being Made in Illinois to De- termine What Pavement Can Be
 Used on Highways.

(Prepared by the United States Department
 of Agriculture)
 Some time within the next few months new road 21s miles long is to be broken up in what is probably the most extensive study of road service ever undertaken in the United States. The road is located in Illinois, about F miles southwest of Springfield, and parallels the Wabsh railroad. In the test road there are no curves. The grades vary from zero to four-tenths of l per cent, with an average grade of One-tenth of l per cent, the maximum and minimum grades extending over very short distances. The subgrade soil is uniformly brown silt loam, except for two small stretches where it more nearly approaches gumbo.
 There are seven general types of paw ing in the road, the idea being to have represented the chief materials used in road making. so that engineers may study the effect of known and measured traffic of varying degree upon each kind of road. The seven types are:
 Portland cement concrete.
 Three and four inch lug brick con- structed monolithic and with a Port land cement concrete base.
 Three and four inch lug brick con- structed semimonolithic and with a Portland cement concrete base.
 Three and four inch bituminous filled lug and lugless brick on Portland ce- ment concrete base.
 Three and four inch bituminous filled lug and lugless brick on macadam base.
 Asphaltic concrete with and without binder course on macadam base.
 The road, known as the Bates ex- perimental road, was constructed by the division of highways, Illinois de partment of public works and build ings, in cooperation with the, bureau of public roads, United States Depart ment of Agriculture. Actual work was

 begun on the road in June, 1920, and 1t was finished some time ago. Since its completion the state and federal government engineers, by numerous daily observations, have been measur- ing the effect of heat, cold, moisture and other elements upon its surface and on the subgrade. These observa- tions have been taken on 63 sections, and much information has been ob- tained which will be valuable in build ing roads in the future.
 This information Is of the utmost value. Knowing the conditions of traffic which are to be met. it will af- ford means by which a proper paving can be selected to meet those con- ditions. It may lead to the saving of millions of dollars each year by pre- venting the construction of pavements that are found to he incapable of re- sisting modern traffic.
 Why some types of pavement fail and others hold up will be largely determined by the test. Why a road way cracks also Is being studied. At different times each section is observed and all cracks noted. In addition, a considerable number of cracks have been measured by a micrometer.
