Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
i Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.
Judging from rcporti from druggiiU
who arc constantly in direct touch with
the public, there one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
there condition). The mild and healing
influence of Dr. Kilmer'i Swamp-Root i
oon 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 on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re
jectcd is becauso kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica
tions aro declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. It is on sal
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test thi
treat preparation send ten cents to Dr
Kilmer & Co., Wnghamton, N, Y., for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper. Ailr.

STILL EATING WAR BREAD

ily Increasing Cost of Everything
Causing Deep Anxiety to
Government.
Home. Italy's food situation Is
worse now than It bus been since the
armistice mid almost ns bud ns it
was during the dark days of the war.
The feeling thnt all Is not well bus
weighed upon housekeepers for weeks.
when life's prlmo necessities grew
rarer and dearer. Hut now the coun
try has' been told the bitter truth by
I' ood Controller Murinldl In a speech
before the chamber of deputies.
This year's harvest of grain has
yielded 200,000,000 hundredweight
less thnn last year; the government
must Import 250,000.000 hundred
weight for bread, which Is sold at 20
cents for a two-pound loaf, and means
$100,000,000 on hard grain alone; on
soft grain the loss equals another
$100,000,000; on ollvo oil the state
loses several hundred million dollars.
Italy Is the only nllled country
whose inhabitants must still ent wnr
bread. Its price, the government says,
must shortly bo raised 5 or 10 cent,s
for a two-pound lonf. because the
budget cannot stand the loss of $800.
000,000 a year on grain alone. The
public must bear part of the burden
In dearer bread.
Itlco Is scarce, too; this year's bar-
vest shows n shortage of half a mil
lion hundredweight; the oil harvest
Is so poor the public has less than
one-third tho quantity doled out last
yenr. Thcro Is less than half the
quantity of cheese. Inrd, butter and
milk of last year; there Is n serious
sugar shortage too.
No Prospect of Relief.
And the food controller hos no
remedy to suggest. The public blames
him and his food ministry. He
blames the food ministry too. say
ing that such chaos reigned when he
tpok It over last summer that he has
been unable to straighten things out
nnd will resign as soon as possible.
Ho told an nstonlsluul chamber that
ho found his ministry buying cheese
ot W) cents n pound, to resell to
wholesale dealers, who doled It out
to the public at $1.50 n pound. lie
added that one great trouble Is the
lack of food experts to advlso the
government In buying foods, es
pecially perishable kinds. And he
said he saw no hope for a better food
situation In the near future unless
people eat less nnd pull their belts
tighter over empty stomachs.

POOR HATCHES IN INCUBATOR
Carelessness in Manipulation of Ma
chine Is Sure to Bring Dis
astrous Results.
Many causes for poor hatches of
chicks In Incubntors can be traced to
the operators not educating themselves
on what Is necessary In the way of
fertile eggs, saving eggs for Incuba
tion and taking care of them. Eggs
for Incubation should he kept In n
well ventilnted room with medium tem
perature. All eggs should be turned
nt lenst once every 21 hours, nnd no
eggs should be over ten dnys or two
weeks old at the outside.
One should be careful to strictly fol
low the directions accompanying the
incubator. Tile directions for one
make of machine do not nlways do
for that of another make, for the
ventilation, regulation, etc., may be
different.
The principal reason why young
chicks die In the shell about the
eighteenth day Is a poorly ventilnted
room.
Other causes thnn poorly ventilated
rooms are poorly ventilnted Incubntors,
find eggs are not properly fertilized.
An egg poorly fertilized will start to
grow and die for lack of vitality.
Opening up the Incubator during tho
latter part of the hatch, or about
the time the chicks begin to pip, lets
out the moisture nnd dries tho chicken
up In the shell, or. In other wocls,
stops the pores of the shell, nnd causes
a great many to die. Under no con
dition should the Incubator be opened
after the eighteenth day until the
chicks are entirely hatched.
As n rule, beginners with Incubntors
do not read the book of directions
properly. Many n person who has
seen nn Incubator, and probably run a
hatch of some other mnke thinks he
knows all about It, does not rend
the, directions nnd makes a lint fail
ure every time. Sometimes no consid
eration is given to the ventilation of
the room In which the mnchlne Is
placed. Possibly there may be de
cayed vegetables therein, or the nlr
Is stale.
There are few failures nowadays by
poorly regulated Incubntors, except
In the cheaper line of machines where
the temperature will change 10. 12

nnd 1R degrees. One point I have no
tlced here at home by having a green
hand set nn Incubator, says a writer In
nn exchange. He reads the directions,
maybe thinks he has learned them
by heart, sets bis regulator as soon
as tho thermometer gets to 103, turns
the thumb screw where he supposes
Is right, and places the eggs in the
machine.
Now, the thumb screw and regulator
is a very tender nfTair, and one turn
of the thumb screw will cause a change
In the atmosph re insldo the Incuba
tor of three to four degrees. It should
be turned slightly, nbout one-fourth of
tho way round, so the temperature
stands Just at 103.
A great mistake Is mndo by pnylng
too much attention to nn Incubator,
I never see to my mnchlne more thnn
twice a day, once In the morning and
once In the evening. I see thnt the
regulntor Is set properly and every
thing running nicely before putting
In the eggs, nnd then plnce the eggs
In It and do not toucli tne regulator.
At first It will lower the temperature
a little when the eggs nre put In.
but If tho regulator Is properly set,
the temperature will rise to the prop
er degree.
