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
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.
Ah 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 applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. It is on sale
st 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 hittle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.—Adv.

HONOR TO MINNESOTA WOMAN
Or. Helen Hughes Hielschsr Is Chosen
State President of Women's
Auxiliary of Legion.
Approximately four hundred dele-
gates from all parts of Minnesota at-
tended the first
state convention
of the women's
auxiliary of the
American Legion
in Minneapolis.
The' ireetlng
marked the begin-
ning of the na-
tional organiza-
tion of the auxil-
lary, which Is ex-
pected ultimately
to bind together
auout ten million women, the mothers,
wives, sisters and daughters of for-
mer service men of the World war.
The delegates at the Minnesota con-
ference represented about 6,000 ^em-
bers of the 113 units of the auxiliary
I in that state.
| The convention adopted a state con-
stitution modeled after the tentative
constitution previously used by auxil-
iary units, and voted to "dedicate
themselves to the cardinal principles
of the Legion."
I Officers elected were: Dr. Helen
Hlelseher, president; Mrs. E. A. Lew-
Is, first vice president, Mrs. Myrtle
I Getz, second vice president; Mrs. O.
I B. De Laurier, historian; Mrs. George
I H. Barber, representative on the na-
I tlonal executive committee.
Miss Pauline Curnlck, representing
| the organization division of national
headquarters, addressed the conven-
tion, outlining the plans and aims of
the organization.
Kansas members of the women's
auxiliary will hold their state conven-
tion January 10 and 11, and other
states are expected to tak^e0(nilar
action in the near future.
WARSAW, P0LAN
POST
All Members Are Ex-S^pce Men New
on Duty With th^American
Red Cross.
A post of the American Legion with
40 members has been formed in War-
saw, Poland. All the members are ex-
service men who are now on duty with
the American Red Cross. The poet
was organized by Charles Phillips of
New Richmond, Wis., h«?ad of the pub-
licity department of the Red Cross in
Warsaw, and has the following offi-
cers: H. H. Hall of McDonald, Pa.',
commander; Lee D. Rowe of McAllen,
Tex., adjutant; Frank R. McKennay
of Richmond, Me., treasurer.
Commander Hall, who served in
France with the Three Hundred and
Seventh supply train, Is chief of stores
for the Red Cross in Poland. Rowe,
who was In the medical detachment
of medical supply train No. 412 in
France, went to Poland a year ago with
the United States army typhus expedi-
tion.
Posts of the Legion also are now
being formed In Jerusalem, Palestine
and in Peking, China.

NO TIME FOR "BLUE LAWS"
Indications Are That Legion National
Officers Will Not Take "Posi-
tive Stand."
"Blue law" agitation is apparently
obnoxious to a large number of mem-
bers of the American Legion, accord-
ing to expressions of opinion received
In letters at national headquarters.
National officers have been called upon
to take a "positive stand," particularly
against those who would do away with
the cigarette.
"As individual citizens and voters
our membership can support or oppose
what it sees fit," said one national of-
ficer of the Legion, "so long as they
conform to our national constitution.
I think the veteran, however. Is against
intolerance. The national organization
of the Legion has no time for this con-
troversy. however. We have our hands
full In our effort to make life what It
should be for the disabled."
NEGLECT OF DISABLED ME*
Legion's Investigation Shows Lack at
Attention to Man Who Suffered
Terrors of War.
Investigations by the American Le-
gion reveal shocking conditions of ml*
management and neglect in the gov-
ernment's treatment of disabled vet
eruns, according to reports of the L
(lion's findings made public by F. W
Galbralth, Jr., national commnnder.
The Legion has launched a nation-wide
fight for the correction of these condi-
tions, which Mr. Galbralth has de-
scribed as "a blot and a disgrace on
the name of our country."
More than 20,000 veterans are still
In hospltnls suffering from wounds and
infirmities suffered In their country's
service. Many of them have been there
since they were brought back from
France on the hospital ships. Their
number Is Increasing at the rate of 2,-
500 a month, due mostly to the develop-
ment of tuberculosis among men who
were gassed. Statistics show that
more than 500,000 men were dis-
charged with disability rated higher
than 10 per cent. Experts agree that
the peak in hospitalization will not
come for five or ten years. Yet, gov-
ernment hospitals at present are filled
to overflowing and even contract ar-
rangements are not being made rap-
Idly enough to care for the ever rising
tide of disabled men whose conditions
demand hospitalization.
Certainly, there Is no lack of wil-
lingness on the part of the American
public to do all In human power to aid
those who paid the price for the vic-
tory. The same experts who estimate
that the peak of the problem will not
come for five or ten years say In the
meantime $5,000,000,000 must be spent
in Its solution. The government has
not been niggardly. More than $500,-
000,000 already has been spent. Mis-
management Is the gist of the Legion's
charge. Lack of vision and foresight
and the ever-present governmental red
tape Is blamed as responsible for the
death of disabled men before aid could
reach them, for the incarceration of
disabled In jails and Insane asylums,
and the charity wards of public hos-
pitals where they received the same
treatment as paupers.
In addition to its activities in advo-
cating reform in the conduct of the
government bureaus, the American Le-
gion has dedicated itself to the tre-
mendous task of "humanizing" the
dreary lives of 20,000 disabled buddies
who are patients in the hospitals all
over the country.
Every Legion post In this country
has been assigned to the definite job
of taking care of a certain hospital
where former service men are patients.
The Women's auxiliary also will be
mobilized to share in the work and
civic and philanthropic organizations
in the hospital towns will be enlisted.
There Is also the dangerous possi-
bility that the hospital patients, re-
maining day after day with no Interest
other than their physical condition,
will become bitter against the country
which once honored them and which
apparently has cast them aside. In
several hospitals, Bolshevist agents
have distributed inflammatory litera-
ture by ingenious methods, of which
an example is the inclosure of the
printed matter In bouquets of flowers.
In one case discovered by Legion la
vestigators the propaganda was en-
titled: "You fought for America and
what did you get out of It?" And In-
deed, It does seem that the sick vet-
eran got little out of It except a short
period of popularity, the consciousness
of having done his duty and a maimed
and diseased body.
"The 2,000,000 who are their bud-
dies," said the Legion's national com-
mander, "and are banded together In
the American Legion, are determined
that the hundred million shall not for-
get. In this work of giving the dis-
abled man a fair deal and making him
content we shall ask the co-operation
of every loyal American. We fought
together and we will stick together."

SUCCESSFUL SQUAB RAISING
Birds Must Be Kept Free From

There Is very little chance of mak-

from the breeding pens. The house
should be kept dry, clenn, well venti-
lated, and free from drafts. Have the
floor covered with 1 Inch of fine gravel
and rake off frequently the manure
which collects on the top. Keep the
yards clean either by scraping the
surface aud adding fresh sand! or
gravel, or by digging over the land
and, If possible, planting it to grain.
The nests, nest boxes, and pens
should be kept clean, but It Is not ad-
visable to disturb more than necessary
the nests that contain eggs or squabs.
Spray the pens frequently with white-
wash containing a little crude carbol-
ic acid, or with a coal-tar disinfectant;
examine the birds for feather lice,
which are troublesome, especially In
hot weather. Birds haling many lice
should be treated with sodium fluorid,
either dusting by the pinch method
or dipping In a solution, the latter
method being preferable. The nests or
nest pans should be cleaned out and
the nesting material removed when-
ever dirty, care being taken not to
disturb the squabs any more than Is
absolutely necessary.

EXERCISE QUITE IMPORTANT
Close Confinement During Winter
Months Is Not Conducive to
Profitable Results.
During the spring season fowls hav-
ing free range get-abundant exercise*
but during the cold months mauy hens
suffer from lack of exercise. Close
confinement without exercise Is not
conducive to getting the best results
from a flock, although the feed pro-
vided may be the best, for Idle hens
soon grow too fat to lay. It Is al-
most Impossible to give laying hens
that are confined too much exercise.
The fowls may be encouraged to ex-
ercise In various ways, such as sus-
pending cabbage heads, beets, etc., so
that the birds have to Jump for them,
and scattering grain in the litter. The
litter should be from four to eight
Inches deep and may consist of straw

or any like convenient material. The
hens should be kept hungry enough
so that they will work diligently all
day for the com scattered in this Ut-
ter, say poultry specialists of the
United States Department of Agricul-

damp or soiled It must be removed
and fresh put in.
