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.. Kilmers Swamp Root is
soon realized. It 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 80
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
sample bottle. When writing, be sure
and mention this paper-Advertisement.

Better Roads Increase
Use of Motor Vehicles

Improved roads throughout the
country have been largely responsible
for the great increase in the use of
motor vehicles in recent years. be-
cause they have made travelling easier
and more rapid and have greatly re-
duced the cost of operation of motor
vehicles.
The average motorist is bound to
realize that a good paved road re-
duces the cost of driving an automo-
bile, by savings effected on gasoline,
tires and repairs. This much Is APP
parent when he contrasts the results
of his driving over rough dirt road
and that over a good, even surface,
such as concrete pavement. But he
probably will not keep an accurate
check on the savings effected.
Figures compiled by George A.
Pond, cost accountant at the Uni
versity farm. ST. Paul. Mimi, show
that better roads were perhaps the
greatest single factor in reducing the
automobile expenses for Minnesota
county agents during 1928. The cost
of operating cars of county agents in
Minnesota in 1923 was less than 81
per cent of that in 1920, Mr.. Pond says
In a bulletin.
Last year. fifty-six county agents
reported that they ran their automo-
biles an average of 1924 miles each
at a total mile cost of $40 cents,
while in 1920 fifty-one county agents
covered an average of CAT miles
each at a total mile cost of 11.51 cents.
All but two or three of the machines
were light, four cylinder cars.
While other factors entered into the
reduction in operating costs, Mr. Pond
credits improved highways with the
greater part of the saving.

SLEEPING PoRcHEs

SLEEPING outdoors is present-day
~ fad. Some fads are foolish and
temporary. Others are so sensible
that they become permanent.
Sleeping in the open air is a fad
which ought to become a permanent
habit. 1t is getting back to the habits
of our ancestors and getting away from
one of the dangers of GENERALIZATION.
For long centuries primitive man,
whatever rude shelters he built for
himself during the day, slept in out
door air.
But modern houses are practically
alright. Close-fitting windows and
doors shut out all air. Hot air, steam
and hot-wataR heating warm our
houses and office buildings instead Of
the opeE fireplaces of our ancestors.
The house Is made alright with
storm doors and windows or Is banked
up with straw or dry leaves at the
Inmates live and work all day In a
stove or furnace-heated atmosphere,
but they often sleep all night In
close bedroom. The result Is that ev-
cry winter brings its regular crop of
coughs, colds. influenza. bronchitis,
pneumonia and tuberculosis
There is no medicine you can buy
that will prevent these diseases. The
remedy Is free to all. Pure outdoor
air, and plenty of it all night. will re-
vive and stimulate the tired, dried-out
throat and lungs
Here's where the sleeping porch
comes in.
All right for millionaires, you say,
but you can't afford any such luxuries.
Not at ALL Any porch corner can be
turned into any open-air sleeping room.
Select corner screened from the
wind and storm. as sailors would say,
on the lee side of the house. Curtains
made of canvas, old awnings or tar
paulins will secure privacy and keep
out the rain. If you want something
more elaborate, 1t can be glazed in
with window sashes. made SO that
they can be opened and closed easily.
An iron bed, or an army cot is all that

sleeping porch, so much the better. If
not, a door can be cut or window
cut down. You can undress in your
warm room, step into your sleeping
porch and close the door sleep all
night with plenty of life-giving oxygen
to breathe, and go back to your warm
room in the morning.
If a sleeping porch must be on the
second floor, fiat roof of porch or
q one-story addition can be used.
All nonsense you say. All right.
But try it this winter and see how
much you save in lost time from sick
ness, medicines and doctors bills, and
how much better and stronger you feel
in the morning.

DIRT EATING AMONG
CHILDREN

MOST children have perpetual ap
4SA petites. They are always hungry.
Their young bodies need plenty Of
food to build them up and to make 1t
possible for them to grow to full Sized
strong healthy men and women.
Plenty of milk, good bread and butter,
fruits and fresh vegetables and meat
are needed.
The healthy child is satisfied with
plenty of good food. 1t gets hungry
again, of course, but it is natural
hunger which is satisfied with ordl-
nary food.
But a few children. when they are
from one to three years old develop
a craving for unnatural things. Some
of them eat mud, coal, cinders, gravel
or mortar, wallpaper, newspaper, or
paint
Koplik of Philadelphia thinks that
this starts from the natural instinct
of the child to put anything it gets
hold of into it's mouth. We all know
that the first thing baby tries to do.
with anything 1t gets its hands on. is
to put 1t into its mouth. Most children
outgrow this habit. But in few.
generally those who are weakly or
anemic, the habit Is kept up and the
child eats all kinds of queer sub
stances.
In most cases. these different kinds
of dirt are comparatively harmless.
But the paint eaters and those chill
dren who have a morbid craving for
painted objects may easily develop
lead poisoning.
The child may gnaw or suck paint
ed toys or may gnaw the paint off the
window stills, white furniture, crib
ratings, porch ratings. or even off
case, reported by DR.. John G. Ruddock
of Los Angeles, boy of three years
had gnawed every bit of paint off the
porch railing, window sills, furniture
and DOORS
The lead In the paint poisons the
child just as 1t does the painter. 1t
becomes restless and fretful, has a
poor appetite, foul breath and pains
in the stomach and legs. Its gums
bleed and it may have commissions.
These commissions may become more
frequent and severe and may end IA
tally. In Queensland, Australia, where
frame houses are common, these cases
of lead poisoning in officiating chill
dren became so numerous that efforts
were made to prohibit the use of
white lead paint in houses where 1t
was within the reach of children.
Children from one to three should
be carefully watched. and any tendency
to officiating corrected. Paint and
painted objects should be kept out of
their way.

NATIONS HIGHWAYS
SUPERIOR TO FRENCH

1.-THE whole world has looked upon
highway SYSTEM" says Charles Sand
ers, an indianapolis automobile deal
er. 'Yet few people realize that the
United States, in less than the eight
years since 1915, has constructed a
federal aid highway system that not
only has a greater actual mileage
than that of France but is greater in
proportion to the total mileage of
roads within the two countries.
sour great network of federal aid
highways extends from coast to coast
and from Canada to the Gulf. When
completed, it will be possible for one
to travel from any town in the United
States of 5000 population or more to
any other town of like size in the
country without leaving an improved
road
Much Of this great advancement in
our highway system is made possible
by the automobile, and at the same
time is made necessary by the grow
ing use of the automobile.
1.-The federal excise taxes collected
on automobiles and parts from 1917
TO 1923 amounted to more than $685.
100000. In addition to this are the
huge sums collected by individual
states in the form of registration, Ii
censes, gasoline tax, ETC.. which has
helped to build roads.
More than $4,000 miles Of federal
aid highways have been completed
since 1916-enough to circle the globe
with an improved road. built to stand
all its anticipated traffic.
an addition to the federal aid high
way system. thousands of miles of
state and county roads not within the
federal system have been improved.
Each year travel becomes more de-
lightful, and automobile tourists more
numerous When we have been build
ing roads as long as France has, ven
ture to say we will have something OF
a system"

1T is Characteristic Of the race to

him about Abel. and rather petulantly
asked: Am l my brothers keeper
Richardson knew that young Muir
ply, who was lodging at his house, was
supposed to be in college and that he
was getting money from home regu.

he had never registered and was sleep

nights In foolish and sometimes even
in vicious dissipation. He knew, too,
that the money from home meant
real sacrifice to Woodworking parents.

indeed?
Carter. living across the hall from
Wilbur in the same building, was
going to the dogs pretty fast. Not
infrequently he came In late at night
under the influence of liquor, and he
was wasting his money pretty regular
ly in poker and crap games.

/ sometimes wonder If young peo-
pie ever stop to think what free educa-
ton involves and why the state Is edu-
eating them-why it spends every year
millions of dollars in the support OF
education. The real reason is not that
we may be trained as individuals to
look after ourselves only, and to fol-
low our selfish purposes without re-
gard to the welfare of our neighbors
or of the community in which we live.
We are all in very large sense our
brothers keeper. 1t requires courage
TO take responsibility for good order
and moral conduct, and few of US have
courage.
"Pd lose my friends and get into
trouble" a man said to me recently,
eff l tried to change conditions" And
he wanted friends and hated trouble.
He had never realized that all of us
are our brothers keepers, and 1t is
responsibility which we cannot shirk.

Roadside Market Developed

The extension of hard-surfaced
roads has benefited thousands of farm
ers through the comparatively new de-
velopment of the roadside market"
By this means the farmer is enabled
to dispose of considerable quantities Of
fruits, vegetables, etc, at his own
doorstep thereby saving the time and
expense involved in hauling such prod
uce to market. Frequently this road
side market is handled by the younger
members of the family, leaving the
men free to engage in other profitable
work about the farm.
