KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected
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 wh"*
•so jected many because applicants for insurance are re¬
to is the American kidney trouble is so com¬
mon people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
■declined do not even suspect that they
nave the disease.
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. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
We tind that Swamp-Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad¬
vise our readers who feel in need of such a
remedy to give it a trial. It 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.

The director of the Russian informa¬

Russia lost eight million men before
she quit the war. Three million of
these were killed and one million dis¬
abled for life.
A. J. Sack, director of the Russian
information bureau, recently told the
New York Foreign Commerce Club
that Russia’s pitiful condition was due
to exhaustion from war in behalf of
democratic ideals. “She is lying ih
seas of blood and tears, and, further,
millions of her people are facing
death, this time from starvation. She
exhausted her food supply from the
war.”
We (are told that German propa¬
ganda is still rampant in the United
States. It is being directed, accord¬

State department officials are reticent
as to the report, but some of them
says it is a “pipe dream.”
There is much speculation as to what

The American battleship squadron
attached to the British grand fleet dis¬
played a spirit of true comradeship
throughout its period of service, de¬
clared Admiral Sir David Beatty, the
commander-ln-chief of the grand fleet,
in a farewell address on board the
U. S. S. New York, on December 1,
the day the squadron was detached
from the grand fleet. All hands had
been called to muster on the forecas¬

President Wilson gave his personal
impressions at a meeting with repre¬
sentatives of the American press of his
experiences thus far in Farnce. At
the same time announcement was
made that the members of the Amer¬
ican commission to negotiate peace
would meet daily with the press.
“I am confident that the big ebuacil
of statesmen of the world wilt be able
to reach a just and reasonable solution
of the problems that will be presented
to them, and thus earn the gratitude
of the world for the most critical and
necessary service which has ever been
rendered it,” said President Wilson, in
an interview, referring to the ap¬
proaching peace conference.
President Wilson says the Versailles
congress was a conference of “bosses,”
and further opines that we have ad¬
vanced too far to permit, the confer¬
ence for world-peace to be anything
more than a meeting place of the serv¬
ants of the peoples represented by
delegates. “There is no master mind
who (yin, alone and unaided, settle
the problems of today. If there is any¬
body who thinks he knows what is in ;
the minds of all peoples, that man is
a tool.”
it is the observation of all states¬
men in all countries that President
Wilson is truly representing the Amer¬
ican people abroad regardless of poli¬
tics or other sentiments. His conten¬
tion that "we have got to put our
heads together and pool everything we
have got for ,tlie benefit of the ideals
which are common to all,” has almost
become the shibboleth of the Labor
Party of Great Britain.
In a clash on November 28 between
the army navy guard of the American

said to have been captured, was killed;
a Mexican soldier mortaliy wounded,
and a chief gunner’s mate, named Ber¬
ry, in charge of the American guard,
less seriously hurt. This was learned
with the steamer’s arrival in New
York from Havana and Nassau, where
she touched after leaving Tampico.
"It was owing to the action of the
Russian Bolsheviki that hundreds of
thousands of German troops were let

oil fell into the hands of the Ger¬
mans." This is the explanation the
British secretary of war offers for the
keeping of allied troops in Russia
Undoubtedly Kerensky and his fol¬
lowers want to represent Russia in the
peace conference, but whether their
status will be recognized is entirely
another question.
The assassinated president of Portu¬
gal, Doctor Paes, was a professor of
mathematics in the University of Coin
bra when he entered the Portuguese
cabinet in 1911 as minister of public
work. At the outbreak of the war
he was Portuguese minister to Ber¬
lin and remained in Berlin until early
in 1916, when he returned to Lisbon.
One of his first acts after being pro¬
claimed president was to take active
steps for great participation in the
war by Portugal.

Prof. B. W . KILGORE, director N. C. Agricultural Experiment Station, says:
“ The lack of Potash with us has been shown especially in cotton, tobacco and potatoes In
coastal plain sections. This has been especially true of cotton and potatoes, more potash having been
used on tobacco, relatively, than on these two crops."
Dr. H. W. BARRE, director of S. C. Agricultural Experiment Station, says:
“/ will say that a survey recently made of the cotton situation in South Carolina leads us to be¬
lieve that at least 25% reduction in the cotton crop has resulted this year from lack °f potash. In some
cases not more than half a crop has been produced on light land that is very deficient in potash.
The appearance of the plants indicates that what is known as potash hunger is responsible for the decreased
yield. We are, therefore, recommending that liberal amounts of potash be used in fertilizers for cotton next
year. At the usual rates of application / feel that it will pay to use as much as 3% of potash at the
present prices. ”

HOW TO PREVENT
APPENDICITIS
Appendicitis is primarily due to the
poisons formed by decaying- food in the
bowels. It is a disease caused by im¬
proper and insufficient bowel elimina¬
tion. Many people have only a small
passage in the center of the bowels
while the sides are clogged with old. \
stale, fermenting matter. They may
have a bowel movement every day but
it is not a complete movement and the
old stale matter stays in the system to
ferment and cause trouble. Besides
appendicitis such unclean bowels
cause headaches, stomach trouble and
90 per cent of all other sickness. The
old foul matter sticking to the sides of
the bowels often stays in for months,
poisoning the body and causing that
listless, tired feeling known as “auto
intoxication.”
HOW TO AVOID TROUBLE.
The way to avoid sickness and to
keep feeling full of ambition is to
watch your bowels. Just as you keep
the outside of your body clean you
should also KEEP THE INSIDE
CLEAN. It is even more important to
keep the bowels clean than it is to k^ep
your body washed, because the millions
of pores in the thirty feet of bowels
quickly absorb poisons generated the by
decaving food left carelessly in
bowels. Don’t allow the old, ferment¬
ing. filthv stuff to stay in your bowels
for weeks, but GET IT OUT and keep
it out. Remember, filthy bowels are
the cause of most sickness—no stom¬
ach. liver or any other organ can do
its work with a foul cesspool sending
