Good Reason Why Impecunious Pair
Couldn't Afford to Steal Cats
Provisions.

A certain artist and his wlfe-who
Is an artist, too-recall an incident of
their early studio days. A friend leav-
Ing the city for few weeks left in
their care large. healthy and hungry
looking cat with injunctions to give it
good care. The feline's owner left with
them sufficient funds to keep the cat
In meat.
The artistic pair, not having at
tained their present success, we're the
reverse Of affluent at the time.
"There we were, not eating regular
Iy ourselves" said the husband the
other evening as he consumed the last
Of large pork chop. "and we seldom
had meat. But We had to sit around
and watch the cat eat good liver"
"Why didn't you steal the cats liver
sOmetimes?" he was asked.
1--WE wanted to-" he answered, "but
the animal wasn't fat and we were
afraid Its ribs would show when Its
mistress got back"

Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with

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

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. DR.. Kilmer's Swamp.
