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 u
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. DR.. 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 observation-disclosures.

sTEwART,s LETTER

BIRMINGHAM. Ala. Oct, 9.-Liverpooi quotations came over about points bet ter than due this morning. with continued light sales of 5.0D0 bales at a decline of IS points in their spot prices. Manchester trade continued dull and cables stated trade hesitating. Our markets opened 5 higher to 5 lower than Mondays close and ruled very sensitive to both selling and buying during the entire session. proving only to be scalping affair throughout the day. The finals were about 15 points higher than the previous close after selling well under the lows of yesterday two or three times. Spots were generally quoted unchanged to 15 higher and sales were reported large at some Of the southern markets. Texas points sold 24. 900 bales yesterday and like amount today at quotations ranging from 26.75c at Dallas to 2755c at Galveston. The trade demand on the decline in futures today was sufficient to rally prices about 40 points from the lows but no new buy ing of consequence came in as prices ral- lied Selling by New Orleans and reports of easier spot basis was partly responsible for the dip. There was q storm off the Louisiana coast that might bring rain to the interior. which no doubt helped the advance in the late trading. The market at the moment is depending mostly trade buying to absorb southern hedge selling. the volume of speculation for long account being apparently much smaller than 1t was. The market may continue to be scalping affair awaiting further de- velopments with ~~rchases on such set backs as occurred today being favored for a long pulls. F. Stewart & Co,

NEW YORK, Oct 9.--Bond prices tended to firmness today with

The vol ume of transactions dropped and some of the more speculative indus trial liens sold off slightly. Increased demand for French bonds particularly the government ' 15c and Ss, reflected the confidence felt by investors in the ability Of Hugo Stinnes to control the German situation in the Ruhr. Neither of these issues, however, displayed more than moderate strength in fairly large trading.
 Numerous railroad mortgages de- clined fractionally. traders asserting it reflected scarcity of buyers rather than any selling pressure against the issues. A few mortgages continued to point upward. Refusal of buyers to pay current copper prices influ- enced some selling of copper company liens. Cerro de Pasco declining more than points. Generally industrial issues were relatively firm.
 Active United States government bonds found a better market, practi- cally all of the Liberty issues nov ing upward
 New bond offerings aggregatins more than $20.000,000 were sold readily during the day and bankers reported sales to investors as pro- gressing rapidly.

SAGGINC TONE IS SHOWN BY LIST IN SPITE OF SUPPORT

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.--Speculators for the decline continued in contro of today's stock market, the genera list displaying a reactionary tone notwithstanding further evidence of good support for a number Of the rail and industrial shares.
 News developments again were largely used as market factors al- though the cut prices in crude prices was regarded as a contributory cause 10 the renewed heaViness 10 some Cf the oil shares. Wall Street ap- pe2red to be indifferent to the in- oreasing expressions of confidence in fall and winter business by bankers and industrial leaders.
 Reports that Germany had ex- pressed to the Belgian government her desire to renew a discussion of her reparation and that the Stinns. group has asked for authority to continue negotiations with the occu- patton officials were regarded as hopeful factors but they failed to stem the downward tide of Ger nany's rapidly depreciating currency which touched a new low record al 6 cents 8 hundred million. Heaviness of the railroad shares was generally ascribed to the failUr of operators on the long side to attract a public following by the recent advance of that group. Read ing was one of the features group in reflection of the progress be ing made with the segregation plan but easing later to 7Sh for slight fractional gain on the day.

WHEAT PRICE ISI SENT DOWNWARD BY HEAVY SELLING

CHICAGO, Oct. e.-Heavy selling on the part of recent buyers broke down values in the wheat market today. The selling appeared to be largely a result of disappointment that the wheat conference here gave no promise of farm relief of an inn mediate character. Slosing prices were unsettled, 1ss to 2ss 0211c be s1.O7$: and May SHEA to s1.129s Corn finished at range varying from 11sc decline to 1sc gain, oats K@%s to % @ Ac down and provi- sions showing Pc to 22c fall.
 It was evident almost as soon as trading began that the action of the wheat conference here in plan- ming in new cooperative marketing association had failed to encourage confidence in a continued upward trend of prices at present. Absence of fresh buying was so noticeable that selling pressure quickly in creased, and the volume of offerings became more of a burden than the market could withstand. Railing p' wer seemeo to be almost entirely lacking and the close was al near the bottom figures of the day. Bears pointed out that the new co-opera- tive association even if finally suc- cessful could only function after the lapse of considerable time, as the plan would be imperative until 50 per cent of growers in the nine principal wheat states had joined the organ ization. Under such circumstances the plan would apparently offer little prospect of help so far as this years crop Is concerned.
 Although contract grades of corn for immediate delivery commanded S1o6 a bushel, the highest price yet this season. future deliveries went down with wheat. Oats followed.
 Provisions reflected the weakness of hog values and grain.

This absorbed the free offerings and the market recovered to ever the. G7ib cent level Around the noon hour the market declined to new low levels. but the de- wand from the trade was again in evl- dence, preventing the market from break ing throuVh the 27-cent level for Decem her deliveries.
