THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY TROUBLE AND NEVER
 SUSPECT IT
Applicants for Insurance Often
 Rejected.

Judging from reports from drug gists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very suc- cessful in overcoming these condi- tions. The mild and healing influ- ence of Dr Kilmer's Swamp is soon realized It stands the highest for it's remarkable record of success.
 An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview of the subject, made the astonishing state ment that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are re- jeeted is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease.

JO|E RAY TO GO AFTER
MORE MARKS TONIGHT

NEW YORK, February t2-Joie
Ray, the Man O. War of amateur run
ners. who ran two miles in one and
one-flfth seconds faster than the
world outdoor record Of 9 minutes
9 90 seconds made by the immortal
Alfred Schrubb in England in 1904,
and bettered the best indoor time
standards for one mile and three
quarters, 5000 meters and two miles
at the Wilco Athletic Associations
games Saturday night. will make his
farewell appearance in competition in
New York this season at the list
Regiments games tonight.
Two Of the indoor records made by
Ray were improvements on old ones
Of his own making. These were for
the 5000 meters. which he covered in
5 minutes 81 is seconds. or two
hfths Of a second faster than he
stepped ste the distance on the same
mark OF 3 minutes II 2-5 seconds
made in this city in 1917. The other
record that he shattered was George
Bonhag's mark OF minutes 10 as
seconds for one mile and three-quar-
ters made at Buffalo in 1910. Ray was
clocked in Z minutes 5s4-5 seconds.
His time for one mile and seven
eishths, for which distance there was
no indoor record. was 8 minutes 81 as
seconds.
The little super-performer on board
floor tracks and cinder paths will be
the scratch man tonight in a handi- =
cap race at one mile and three-ouar-
ters, in which he will concede liberal
allowances to such noted opponents
as William Ritola of the Finnish
tinction of running four miles in
time never eQualed by any other ath-
lete. and Ilmar Prin. national junior
croSs-country champion.
Ray is confident that his exit from
the scene OF athletic activities in the
metropolis will be marked by q COM
bination of achievements equal to
that registered by him in his seasons
debut at the Millrose games on jan
uary 81. An easy victory and a new
and half were the result Of his
sterling performance at that meet
The mark which the greatest OF all
middle distance flyers will attempt to
change Is less than forty-eightl hours
old.
If Ray wins tonight his eastern in
vasion will show an unbroken string
OF victories and q chain OF new world
records made Up of six links. In the
last named collection are the marks
three quarters. one mile and seven
eights, 5000 meters, two miles in
doors and two miles outdoors. The
Chicago wonder will receive official
credit for all Of these extraordinary
performances save the two-mile out
door mark. That is denied because
of technical requirements. Outdoor
marks are credited only to those ath-
letes who make them outdoors.
Herb Meyer of Rutgers. who broke
the world 100-yard low hurdle mark
Saturday night, Is expected to COM
pete tonight. Meyer is the metropol-
itan as we'll as Junior national cham
uion and his victory over ]. c. Taylor,
the national titleholder in IL $40,
