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 tho subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so miny 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
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.

By CAPT. ROBERT J. CASEY,
In the Chicago Journal.
GosHeldiingc, Luxemburg. General
Hell Is president of Griuistark now.
Ills division to which we have final
ly become attached Is living amid n
kaleidoscope of International spies,
mysterious men with black beards,
revolutionists, conspirators, counter
conspirators and beautiful princesses.
All day long the white highways are
filled with dashing couriers, All night
long vigilance committees He nwnke
trying to figure out what new plan of
government to start off the next day
with, it Is certainly a strange situation
for a poor, guileless lot of Infantry
and artillery.
It Isn't officially set down In the rec
ords that the general Is the last word
hereabouts, hut no one even the most
ardent revolutionary leader falls to
admit that his Is the only constituted
authority. So long as he continues to
sit It. state at die klrche tho plotters

The Storm Breaks.
The storm broke In the teapot the
day Itattery K, 12-tth field artillery,
nrrlvcd here after' the long march from
the Mouse.
We were Just turning across the
Itlver Alzotte when a purple limousine
all trimmed with gold and displaying
n brace of silver braided admirals In
the front seat enmo down ,tho Luxem
bourg City highway and frightened the
guidon's mule Into hysterics. The bat
tery was called to attention and sa
lutes were exchanged before It was
realized that the beautiful Marie Ade
laide, grand duchess of Luxemburg and
royal princess by her own right, had
Just passed. Not knowing anything
about local politics we couldn't guess
that something hnd gone wrong.
That night, however, a bulletin was
tacked to tho door of the schoolhouse
annex now doing service ns a battery
kitchen stating In French and Ger
man that Marie Adelaide had abdicated
In favor of her sinter, Charlotte, and
that f the populace would try to keep
calm, the government would try to con
tinue doing business at the old stand.
Tho story of the revolt, when trans
lated but of two or three mixed lan
guages, Is n Grimm's-Fairy Tale sort of

seems, had been something of u popu

lar Idol In Luxemburg prior to tho war
There Is a legend connected with her
attitude toward the advancing Prus
sians that once was current and cred
ited In all part of the duchy. Accord
Ing to this story, the grand duchess
was shocked when the Germans re
fused to respect the neutrality of her
country. Luxemburg's army on paper
consisted of UfiO men and actually mus
tered some 70 sturdy troopers.
The minister of war naturally fig
ured that he didn't have much of a
chance In opposing Germany, so the
princess undertook moral suasion. She
drove out to the border nnd lay down
across the road and uttered the sen
tence famous for a time throughout
the duchy: "You dare not pass."
Duchess Was Misinformed.
Hut, alas for the proper climax of
the story, the beautiful Adelaide had
been misinformed. They did dare to
puss.
A couple of brawny bussnrs picked
the princess up. deposited her along
side the road and executed a neat for
ward march. That night the Invading
generals dined at the princess' palace
In Colmar-Vcrg.

EDERAL AID FOR ROAD WORK
Small Amount Paid Out In 1918 Was
Because of Steps Taken for
Conservation.
Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Although $14,(550,000 was avnllablo
for expenditure on the post roads from
tho federal aid road act, only $425,-145
was paid from federal funds In tho
highway construction season of 1018
on all projects, The reason for this,
according to the annual report of the
secretary of agriculture, wus tho steps
taken to conserve money, labor, trans
portation nnd materials In highway
work during the war, and at the same
time to facilitate really cssentlul high
way projects.
In connection with tho federal aid
road work a letter was addressed to
each state highway department asking
that a program of federal aid con
struction be submitted at the earliest
possible date, In wjilch would be in
cluded only those projects which the
state highway departments considered
vitally necessary to tho transportation
facilities of tho country.
At the request of the capital Issues
committee, engineers of the depart
ment were made available for Inspect
ing and reporting upon proposed high
wuy und Irrigation nnd drainage bond
Issues. Inspections were mndo of 181
separate projects, Involving total bond
issues of ?80,912,a90. An arrangement
was mndo with the fuel administra
tion whereby highways of special Im
portance should recelvo enough bitu
minous muterlnl to provide for ade
quate maintenance, and where neces
sary to permit construction and re
construction. From May 13, 1918,
when the co-operation' became actively
effective, until the close of tho fiscal
year, 2,235 applications, calling for
75,000,000 gnllous of bituminous mate
rial, were received from stntes, coun
ties and municipalities. Of this amount
approval was given and permits were
Issued for 58,000,000 gallons.
In order to co-ordinate tho activities
of various government agencies, so far
as they relate to highways; better to
conserve materials, transportation,
money nnd labor; to eliminate delays
and uncertainties, and to provide posi
tive assistance in carrying on vitally
effective highway work, the secretary
requested each of the government de

You eat to keep alive to Bupply blood and

liver complaint, loss of flesh, nervousness,
bad memory, dizziness, sleeplessness, no
appetite. Many times, when neglected, in
digestion results in coughs, throat diseases,
catarrh, bronchitis and even more danger
ous things. And al these disorders arise
becaute the food is not properly digested
in the stomach. It is plain even to
child that relief and cure are to be had
only by setting up a healthy condition iu
the stomach. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.

of vegetable growths into a temperance
remedy for indigestion, and called it
Golden Medical Discovery. It is probably
the most efficacious discovery ever made
