Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Should
Use ~Swamp-ROOt

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 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 SC
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 paper.-Advertisement.

aside from the preference of the ma
iority of the voters for the present adj
ministration may be ascribed to the
| dissatisfaction of the labor element
and the discomfort of the farmers.
1t is obvious that the voters of the
| country did not follow either Davis or
LaFollette in their attempt to score
the alleged corrupt acts of members
of the last Republican administration
against Coolidge personally.
Worried About "Silent" Vote.
There appeared throughout the
campaign to be an apathetic condition
worried about. Yet a record vote was
worried about. Yet a.recerod vote was
cast. President Harding's plurality Of
100000 in 1920 over James NJ. Cox
was thought to be almost an impos-
sible figure, yet Harding had no third
party opposition, with the exception
of Eugene V. Debs' 100000 total
vote. LaFollette polled four times the
Socialist vote of that year.
Pennsylvania appears to be the ban
ner state for Coolidge with a plurality
of about 100000, and the President
carried New York state by 100000;
Illinois by 100000; California, regard
ed as likely to go to LaFollette, by
100000; Indiana, claimed by the
Democrats, by 100000, and by a like
figure he triumphed In Iowa.
President Is Congratulated.
John w. Davis, the defeated presi-
Dental candidate IN the Democratic
ticket, telegraphed President Coolidge
as follows:
Permit me to congratulate you on
your sweeping victory and to express
the hope that your administration may
by It's success inure to the welfare OF
the country"
President Coolidge sent this reply:
"Please accept my thanks for your
message and my appreciation of the
patriotic sentiments you express"
Senator Robert NJ. LaFollette, In his
first public statement, commenting
upon the election, said:
1.-THE loss Of this one battle In the
age-long struggle is but an incident.
SO far as / am personally concerned
l am enlisted for life in the struggle.
"The progressives will not be dis
mayed by this result. We have just
to fight. There can be no COM
promise on the fundamental issues for
we stand"
Two Women Governors.
For the first time In the history Of
the country, at this election two wom-
were elected as governOrs-Mrs.
T. Ross, on the Democratic
ticket, as governor Of Wyoming. She
Is the widow Of the late Governor
Ross. Under the laws she will assume

ticket, was elected gov

That PRESIDENT COOllQge mas DCOi
given a substantial working majority
in both the senate and the house Il
most gratifying both to Mr.. Coolidge
and his co-workers. AS the final re
turns" were flashed in, showing the
emphasis which had been placed upor
the Importance of giving the Presi
dent the backing he desired, the
magnitude of the greatest of all presl-
Dental elections was fully realized
for never before have the voters OF the
country more emphatically expressed
their sentiments.
Several important items mark the
election of President Coolidge as mos
remarkable in such events. Among
them may be enumerated the generous
support that was given in the election
to the senate and house of members or
the Presidents party-a substantial
majority in both branches what might
have proved a thorn in the side OF the
President and his fellow-workers-the
LaFollette faction-has been ~dispelled
the election was not thrown into con-
gress as had been feared approval Of
President Coolidge's course by approx
mately 100000 votes.
Deeply grateful for "the faith and
confidence expressed by the people at
the polls, President Coolidge in q state
ment of appreciation said:
1T does not seem possible to me to
make an adequate expression concern
Ing the presidency of the United
States. No other honor equals this, no
other responsibility approaches this.
when it is conferred by an over
whelming choice of the people and
vote of the electoral college, these are
made all the greater.
81 can only express my simple
thanks to all those who have contrib
uted to this result and plainly acknowl-
edge hat it has been brought to pass
through the work of a Divine PrOvi-
1ence, of which l am but one instru-
ment.
"Such powers as l have I dedicate
to the service of all my countrymen.
In the performance Of the duties of
my office l could not ask for anything
more than the sympathetic considera-
ton which my follow Americans have
always bestowed Upon me.
81 have no appeal except to the
COMMON sense of all the people. l have
made no pledge except to serve them.
I have M object except to promote
their welfare"
The lineup Of the next congress pre-
sents a situation that will further
stress the support President Coolidge
will have during the next four years.
With Senator LaFollette SO badly
weakened that he will be of no Ian
ger to the interests of the party in
control; with the defeat of Senator
Mangus Johnson of Minnesota, repre-
senting the Farmer-Labor party. In
fact, the senate situation is better
from a Republican standpoint than
any Of the administration leaders had
hoped for.
Causes of the Landslide.
Causes for a landslide in a presi-
Dental election always are discussed,
the smoke Of the battle has
cleared. The platforms adopted at the
national conventions Of the three par
ties are well known. The fact that
carried only his own state
Wisconsin, and that Davis could con
troll only the so-called Solid South,
and not all of that, showed the
strength Of President Coolidge. 1t Is
contended that the principal causes,

Fluid Intake Of Body Is More

You can't live long unless you

This is the dictum given to the
American public by Doctor Royal
s. Copeland, United States Senator
from New York and formerly health
commissioner for New York City,
in a recent address before the an.
nual convention OF the American
Bottlers Of Carbonated Beverages at
Louisville. KY.
We hear so much these days
about what to eat and what you
shouldn't ca" Doctor Copeland
SAID. think 1t Is a mistake that
we don't hear more about what you
should drink. OF course, we have
neard enough about what you
shouldn't drink.
The fluid intake of the body in
q way is much more important than
the food intake. You can live forty.
fifty or sixty days without food.
but you can live only a few days
without water. There must be a
tremendous amount of fluid taken
into the body every day. You might
just as well eat a chunk Of coal
as to eat food without water or
WITHOUT fluid. The food must be
put into solution before 1t does the
body any good. and so there must
pc taken every day quantity OF
fluid.
The great trouble about taking
fluid with your meals is that YOU
take too much food if you take too
much fluid. On that account. /
think / can really say in all con.
scientiousness that it would be a
great deal better to put a pint Of
carbonated beverage on the table
instead of water.
Now the trouble is that il you
put a lot of water on the table.
