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 mild 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
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 applications
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 & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Advertisemen

Edible Oil From Egyptian Plant.

A plant belonging to the lettuce
family, now cultivated in Upper Egypt
and which can be grown with profit
in certain parts of the Sudan, is a
new source of edible OIL The seed
yields under pressure from 81 to 80
per cent of oil and certain specimens
of fresh seed from the Sudan, which
contained less than per cent of wa
ter, yielded more than Al per cent
The oil is odorless, of light yellow
color and without disagreeable taste.
The seed is so small that it cannot
be handled with ordinary equipment,
but the oil product is SO valuable that
new machinery will no doubt be built
to do the work.

China Making Its Own Matches.

China's imports of Japanese
matches have shrunk rapidly during
the last ten years. In 1912 China
and Hong-Kong took 9.015, 300 gross of
japanese matches, but returns for
1921 show only 2,435.9OO gross import
ed. This shrinkage is due primarily
to the increase in match production
in China and to the fact that for 9

 George V. Rotan with c. V. l.. Hooman of England, defeated Cyril Tolley and Jess Sweetser, five and four. Rotan reached the turn with medal score of 35 and on the home ward route had eight fours and one five.
 Max Marston and Harrison John- ston defeated Capt. Robert Gardner Hooman and Rotan won from Gard ner and Davidson Heron by one hole, but the most interesting match was a fourball game, in which Johnston and Marston opposed Sweetser and Neville.
 The last named started with a brilliant three and two fours, and however, he frequently was bunk cred and his total for the round was 77. Johnston and Marston were steadier; both their cards were 75 and they won the match, three up and two to play.

KANE IS SEEKING TRAyNERSFORTOM

CHICAGO May 15.-Eddie Kane is seeking some top-notch talent to train Tommy Gibbons and be in his corner when he fights Jack Dempsey at shelby, Mont, July4. Kane would be tickled silly if he could be the manager of lucrative worlds champ and hence is nursing his hopes as tenderely as he can. He is seeking the advice of old-time ringmen and using great care in the selection of a chief trainer. rubbers and heavy sparring partners for Tom.
 Mike Gibbons, Tommys big fight ing brother. will act as a sparring partner and probably will have charge of Tommys eating and hous- ing arrangements. Kane will start on q road trip this week, which will consume about a month and in which Gibbons will do boxing stunts to eN- hibit lis skill in defense footwork and general speed.
 Jack Kcarns ser, ed notice that Gibbons would be met at his own game of speed. cleVerness and hard hitting when he called for soft band ages makes the hands lighter to hold up and quicker of movement in feint- ins.
 Gibbons followers, admitting that it isn't an even money bet, are bank ing on a punch something like Car pentier's one famous blow at Jersey City, something to which they de- clare Dempsey is prone to lay him sell open. Gibbons is 10 to 5 pounds heavier than Carpenter, and Is con- sidered by many q better boxer, so that his friends claim to figure that in case he isn't crippled in the open ing rounds, they are due to collect.

WINNER OF BATTLE AT GOTHAM MEETS CHAMP
Willard And Firpo Both Sign,
 But Rickard Declines To Reveal Terms Of Contracts

NEW YORK, May 15.-(By Asso ciated Press) - The preliminary world heavyweight championship move toward another contest for the world heavyweight championship was -oId 'pIsYoIH xsL 6q 6epol epBu moter in the signing of Jess Willard, former title holder, and Luis F1rpo, Argentine giant, for contest to be held in New York or vicinity not later than July z.
 The winner will be matched with Jack Dempsey in title contest which probably will be held next Labor day.
 Rickard declined to reveal the terms for the Firpo- Willard match except that they will fight on percentage basis. Experts, however, figure that the bout will draw a gate of at least a half million dol lars and that the share of each prin- cipal would be at least sloo,ooo;
 The contest will be staged either at Boyle's Thirty Acres in Jersey City, or the Yankee stadium. The attitude of the state athletic com mission toward Willard also may have a bearing on whether the bout chairman of the commission and author of the ruling preventing men over 3S years of age from boxing in this state, allowed Willard to meet Johnson last Saturday because the affair was for charity.
 Jess Proved Fitness.
 It was believed. however, that the age ruling would be set aside in view of Willard's victory over John son.
 Willard. satisfied that his victory over Johnson proved his physical fitness and ended the talk about him being too old left tonight for Los Angeles.
 The South American has made ar rangements for three matches before July l. He will resume training to- morrow for match at Grand Rapids, Mich, with Harry Foley on May 22. He has signed to meet Joe White of New York, in Havana. Cuba, June g. and Jim Hubbard of Buffalo, in Mex leo City, June P.
