never wanted to grow up? Who does
not remember wishing to see a fairy,
a goblin or a brownie, Cinderella, Al

appreciation of good literature.
What can be more enjoyable
than to read a vivid, well written

"A well written book will hold
our attention from beginning to end.
Books stimulate u imagination,

will find books to become our most

insight in the character of many
types of people.
Book reading helps us to under

We may gain an idea of the life of a

travel to a far land and see many
strange and new sights by means
of a book.

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
tile public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. timers 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 are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the An er;can people. and the
large majority of those whose applica-
lions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. DIR. Kilmer
Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug stores
in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
However. il you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
