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
the public, there is one preparation that
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. Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles
of two sizes, medium and large.
However, II you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr..
Kilmer 4 Co., Binghamton, N: Y, for .

His Own Idea.

A young blood or dandy of the pc
riod went into shop and asked for
pink shoestrings. They told him they
had no pink shoestrings and had
never noted any demand for the same.
"ln fact" stated the head OF the
firm. Il can't for the life of me i'm
agine what you want with pink shoe
strings"
The dandy flcked an imaginary bit
Of dust from his cuff and condescend-
ed to explain: ut Is just an idea Of
mine. don't You know. l wish to use
them MS neckties."
The Holly chieftain., 1923-11-01

He swung into the saddle. aud faceo
her waiting.
"Yes."
''Then weTl ride fast. and don't be
afraid: It's level as floor"
The girl rode low In the saddle, her
head bent forward to protect her eyes
from the shower Of grit hurled against
her by tile ceaseless wind. She was
conscious now of her extreme weari-
ness; she could only cling grlmly to
her seat. aching in every muscle,
blindIy following his lead She knew
the horse under her was painting for
breath, his sides wet with sweat, but
Kelleen never once drew rein. or, to
her knowledge. even glanced back to
assure himself Of her presence. There
were moments when she felt she must
actually cry out. her nerves failing
her, but she crushed the desire back,
and rode on. dulled with fatigue.
Her eyes and thought centered on
the figure of the man riding steadily
in front. She could obtain no glimpse
of his face. not even Its contour, vet
how straight he sat in the saddle. his
shoulders thrown back. his left hand
grasping the rein lightly. His seat
was that of the trained. disciplined
cavalry man, rather than the cow
boy. and she could but mark how cas-
lily his body followed the slightest
movement Of the animal under him.
Suddenly, but without glancing back
he pointed into the grim, gray desert
ahead.
