1. Location of the vineyard (v. 1).
It joined Ahab’s summer iiome in Jez-
reel. He wanted to transform it into
an berb garden and thus rouud out
his property.
2. Ahab’s proposal (v. 2). He of
fered to buy it outright for money, or

wish for it vias a selfish whim. He
did not at all need It.

AppUcants for Insurance Often
Rejected.
, Judging from reports from druggists
who are couetsatly 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 8wamp-Root ia

its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Inrtirance 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 ia so
common to the American people, and the
large .majority of those whose applies- '
lions are decljned do not even suspect
that they have\he r’isease.
Dr. Kilmer's Rwsmp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and larpg. However, if you wish
first to test this great preparation send
