Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggistt
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-Roo ID
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 sd
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.

 with her face buried on her arms, the camera once more began to click and Mr. King Laughlin squatting by it's side, prepared to pull the young woman through the scene by sheer force of his inspired art.
 But now the passion which before had kept him hopping and scream ing had passed into a subdued and plaintive phase; Mir. Laughlin was suffering for and with the heroine whose woes were to be projected be- fore the eyes and into the hearts of half the world. He did not actually cry, but his features were knotted with the anguish that wrung his heart, and his voice was thick with sobs.
 Now, dear, you're coming to- you just lift your head and look up dazed. You don't realize what's hap pened yet. you hardly know where you are. Where am I. my God! where am I? That's it--beautiful Now it begins to come to you. He has cast you off-O my God. he has deserted you. Fino-coudn't be better--you' re great, dear, simply great. Now go on begin to cry, let the big tears we'll up from your broken heart and trickle down your cheeks. Fine. Cry harder, dear--you must cry harder, this scene will go all flooey if you can't cry any harder than that. Think what he was to you-and now he has left you-who knows ?-perhaps for ever! Your heart is breaking, dear, it's breaking, and nobody cares. Can't you cry harder? Listen to the music and Good God. how d'you ex- pect anybody to cry to music like that?"
 The last was a shriek of utter ex- asperation; and bounding to his feet the little man darted furiously at the stopping in front of the trio and beginning to beat time with an imaginary baton.
 Follow me, please-get this the way l feel it. So-slowly-draw it out--hold it-get little heart-break into it."
 And strangely enough he did man. age to infuse little of his fine fer vor into the three.
 Throughout, on the floor before the camera, under that cruel glare of lights, Alma Daley strained her face

toward the lens and cried as If her heart must surely break, real tears streaming down her face---but cried with fine judgment, never forgetting that woman must be lovely even in woe.
 While Lucinda watched, strange voice saluted her.
 In Lanes place sat stout man of nance of Semitic type, shrewd and nance of Semitic type. chrewd and hard but good -natured.
 How d'you do?" he said genially. This is Mrs. Druce, ain't it? Cubs my name. Ben culp."
 Of sudden Miss Daley missed her mentors voice, and in the middle of a sob ceased to cry precisely as she might have shut off tap.
 In moment of uncertainty, still confronting the clicking camera, still bathed in that whitening blaze, she cast about blankly for her runagate director. Then discovering that he had, just like a man. deserted her in her time of trouble to follow a band, outraged womanhood asserted itself

 The command came from King Laughlin. Lucinda could just hear a muffled clicking. Coached by MT. Laughlin, who danced nervously upon the side lines, the scene was enacted.
 Now, Tommy come on--slowly-- hold the door-look around, make sure the room is empty-hold it. now shut the door-up to the table don't forget where to put your hat 'sright splendid!

 The little mans voice cracked with the heart-rending pathos he infused into that cry; he continued to dance and bark directions at star and lead ing man till the door closed behind Miss Daley's frantic exit.
