THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY
TROUBLE AND NEVER
SUSPECT IT
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. Tho mild and healing
influence of DIR. 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 of the subject. made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance arc 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. DIR. 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 g. Co. Binghampton. N. Y. for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

DENIAL MADE
BY Mr.. DEY
In Speaking at Carteret
Meeting-7 Janitors En-
ployed, He Says

CARTERET, Oct. 25. - Armed
with figures dealing with the bor-
ough expenditures, Mayor Thomas
j. Mulvihill at the mass meeting
here last night told an unusually
large and enthusiastic audience how
the Republican administration
through conservative yet progressive
government has saved a great deal
of money in the first veal of its re-
gime chided the Democratic assessor
for lowering the valuation fig
ures, read former Mayor Joseph A.
Hermann's original printed broch-
ures in which he strongly advocates
a dock and a borough hall.
In place of Judge Robert Carey,
who was absent, there was an au-
spicious list of speakers.
State Senator Morgan f. Larson
spoke on Republican ideals, politics
and policies. County Chairman John
II. Pfeiffer made a plea to support
the entire Republican ticket, gave
much praise to the women and their
interest in better government and
outlined the Republican doctrine as
applied to the people of the nation.
Assemblyman Harold Hoffman told
of the work of the Republican legis-
lature. He said that much was done
by the Middlesex county assembly,
men during their first term. AS
semblyman Thomas l.. Hanson, con-
firmed Mr.. Hoffman's talk on the
legislature and asked support for the
entire Republican ticket. John l..
Smith, candidate for assembly ticket
promised good government If elect
ed.
Fred Gowen, under sheriff, spoke
on his behalf and of the service rem
dered to the county in connection
with the execution of service papers.
Director William S. Dey. of the
Board of Freeholders defended the

charges instituted some days ago.
Mr.. Dey sand that at no time have
the records been hidden, that they

between County Treasurer Hilker

Hayes hat the difference arose. he
also denied that the county is en-
ploying ten janitors. Only seven
men are engaged about the county
buildings. the speaker said. Three
men look after the boilers and do
other duties, one man cleans the
court, anOtner CLEANS tHe Iecoiu
building, and there is a Waterman

ties about the buildings. He believed
that the Republican board in six
years has made a good showing,
particularly when there was not a
dollar bonding capacity when they
took over the board from the Dem
ocrats.
Freebooter Walter Quakenbush
said that the claim of the Democrats
that the county refused to show
their record was only a camouf1age.
"They are open to ALL" he said.
Freebooter Fred ]. Orpen also told
of the achievements of the Republi-
can board.
Andrew Celia, a speaker from the
Republican state Committee, also
spoke.
