About 8.46 last evening a Jewett
sport model went up Main street at a

a complete turn and heading down
Main street, narrowly missing three
people who sidestepped just in time
to avoid a collision.

Human nature reacts in a curious

injury by narrow margins in Water

Yesterday an observer on the street

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


 Judging from reports from drug gists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very sue cessful in overcoming these condi- tions. The mild and healing infu- ence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is soon realized It stands the highest for it's remarkable record of sue cess.
 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 rejected is because kidney trouble is so com mon 10 the American people. and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease Dr. Kilmers Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug stores in bot ties of two sizes, medium and large.
 However, ii you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Bihg- hamton, N. Y, for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper. (advertisemenU

 What the reasons that have converted Senator Pepper from opposition to the League Of Nations 60 the belief that the United States ought now to
 enter the League subject formal changes in the Covenant? The reasons are two. One is the record Of the League itself The second is Lord Robert Cecil. The senator from Pennsylvania finds that ''n practice the League is longer inter

 turned out much better than the League of "theory as deduced from is Constitution. It only remains make the Constitution of the League conform with its practice "and Lord Robert Cecil, believe. is here to bring the message that these changes may be made
 Senator Pepper does tell in what respects the League of Nations international steam roller and engine of political manpula-
 ton He does not cite specific charges, for the very eood reason that such charges be formu- lated. The Senator from Pennsylvania virtually admits much when he stresses the necessary changes in the formal document by which the League was created. In other words. the steam loler tactics and the political manipulation have existed oAiy fear of what might happen but never did.
 Those who believed in the League from the begin

STRETCH OUT
YOUR HAND
By DOUGLAS MALLoCH

T SOMETIMES think we think too
much,
That men are evil, women wrong,
/ The rich dishonest riches clutch
And haveno love of smile or song
For l have found that all along
The way of life the roses bloom,
That men are kind and women good
And there is much of brotherhood
To ease the load and light the gloom.
How hard the hill, how dark the night,
However toll my limbs would tire,
/ always found candle light
That led me to waiting fire
However great their own desire,
Men had the heart to think of mine,
Some word of brotherhood to say
To keep my feet upon the way,
To set beside the road a sign.
Believe that men are good, believe
That women all are sweet and fair,
The world will comfort when you grieve
And when you sorrow it will care,
That there is kindness everywhere !;
But, brotherhood to understand,
To find new courage when You fear,
The song to lift, the Shnles TO- eheer.
You must at least stretch aoHt ,TYour
