“Blue,” worried, half-sick people

Farmer's Success in Big Drive Will
Depend on His Ability to Think
By GLENN HAYES, Editor of Better Farming

Now come the golden hours of the year. The winter days present the
farmer's opportunity to do his planning for the seasons of planting, culti-
vating and harvesting, and for these anxious days when the young stock
is born, as well as when it is fed and developed and marketed.
Upon the kind of thinking which the farmer does in the winter a
good deal of success of his operations in the spring and summer and fall
depends. To stimulate and help him in his thinking and planning he

This is one of the most beautiful
stories of the Bible. It appeals to the
loving parents’ hearts and charms the
attention of every child. The intro-
duction of the woman who touched the
Master's garment is referred to by three
of the gospel writers and gives us an
intensely interesting sidelight on the
reception accorded to Jesus during his
Galilean ministry.
The dramatis personae is as fol-
lows: (1) The Father is about to lose
all the poetry and music of his home,
(2) The Child, twelve years old, is just
on the threshold of Jewish woman-
hood. It takes little imagination to
plcture how her life had entwined fit-
self about the heart of the father and
the other loved ones. The stricken
child is still to be found in the land,
and it is this background which makes
the picture so vivid. Why the suffer-
the separation? Only our
Heavenly Father knows it all, and
some day we will read the answer in
the glory of his presence. (3) The
Woman, who—where from or whither
to we are not told—only one of a vast
throng who had just faith enough to
touch the hem of his garment and be
made whole. (4) The Galilean Proph-

out, Jesus took the father, mother and
disciples into the chamber of death.
The occasion was not for a spectacular
demonstration of power. Having re-
stored the child to life and to its par-
ents, Jesus admonishes them not to
publish the news broadcast. Evident-
ly he was not yet ready to precipitate
matters in the minds of the multitude,
for of a surety he knew that in certain
quarters the fact of the cure would
be made known.

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 why
£0 many applicants for insurance are re-
Jected is because kidney trouble is so com
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct Sons h 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 Sw imp-Root 18
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp-Root is stric tly
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
