Over-Work Weakens
Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
All the b'eoci in your body passes through
your kidn v* 0 -*° e every three minutes.
The kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they fil
ter out the waste or
impurities in the blood.
If they are sick or out
of order, they fail to do
their work.
Pains, aches and rheu
matism come from ex
cess of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney-
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
1; used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
and Is sold on its merits
by all druggists in fifty-
cent and one-dollar siz
es. You may have a
sample bettie by mail Home of Swamp-Root,
free, also pamphlet telling you how to find
out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.

INDUSTRIAL WAR IN
THE “WINDY CITY"
Both Mayor and Sheriff Prepar-
To Give the Signal
WHICH WtLL JAR CHICAGO CITY
State Troops Held In Readiness to
Check Any Advances Which May Be
Made by the Strikers—Peace Signs
Are Fading Away.
Chicago, May 24.—The industrial
war, with a possibility of martial law
looming up iu the backgrouud, and
describes the sttuatkm which threat
ens Chicago today, as a result of the
teamsters’ strike.
Peace prospects have faded away,
the express companies having refused
to retreat one inch from their previous
ly anounced position. Employers and
teamsters are prepared for a fight 01
indefinite length.
Mayor Duane and Sheriff Barrett
are prepared to give the signal whit
will bring the, state troops into the
streets of the city at the first indica
tlon of an outbreak, and Governor Den-
een is ready to respond to the call at
almost a second’s notice.
The lumber dealers’ aggressively
transformed threatened strikes into
virtual lockouts. A dozen lumber
companies were quickly added to those
previously involved in the ramifications
of the teamsters’ strike. In each
ease orders to deliver material to the
strike-bound firms brought a refusal
from the drivers. Discharge of tht
driver followed instantly with quick
retaliation ensuing in a strike of his
fellow teamsters. The strikers to
day made idle practically all of th-
large yards in the district.
"Ninety-five per cent of the lumber
business in the city is crippled,” de
clared Secretary Hooper, of the Lum
bermen’s association. “It is only a
matter of a short time when the per
cent of the building operations of the
city will cease. We are now calling
on the employers’ association for team
Biers and till we get them the build
ing business will necessarily suffer.”
International President C. P. Shea
of the Teamsters’ union, announced
bis intention today to dety federal Judge
C. C. Kohlsaat and master in Chan
cery, Sherman, by persisting in refus
ing to answer questions at the re
sumption of the hearing of alleged vio
lation of the strike injunctions. Pit
Ident Shea based his determination up
on the fact that to answer might tend
to incriminate him. The strike lead
er declared that he would suffer him
self to be sent to jail for contempt
rather than answer the questions. Rel
ative to the prospect of calling out ol
state troops, Mr. Shea said:
“Let them call the troops. That will
not alter the situation as far as the
teamsters are concerned. ThS team
sters are not interfering with the oper
ations of wagons on the streets and
not. Neither will the strike be spread
to any great extent. We are using
our best effort to keep it within its
present limits.”
In announcing his refusal to be
questioned by the master in chancery,
Mr. Shea said:
I think they intend to send me to
jail. Anyhow, I am not going to an
swer the questions before the master.
1 will do my own thinking. The law
gives me that right. I honestly be
lieve the questions will tend to incrim
inate me. I might as well go to jaii
for contempt as for conspiracy. J
can run the strike from the jail.”
Continuing, Mr. Shea said: “Th ■
soldiers will not affect the strike break
ers. It would seem to me that the
business men of Chicago would not
want the soldiers here. With a lot of
the soldiers here. With a lot of
young ifien unaccustomed to scenes of
excitement, armed with deadly weap
ons. life will be in danger. At any
rate, thousand? of people Intending to
come to Chicago to buy gods will be
frightened away, and the effect will he'
serious to many business men. Rut
personally I have nothing to sayi
againsi the soldiers coming.”
Day Current Turned On.
Conyers, Ga„ May 24.—The day cur-11
rent from the electric plant has been ]
turned on. Conyers has good power
and light now. The day current will ]
be used to run the machinery for the;
different mills and fans around town
In the business houses and residences.!
The plant is situated 12 miles from
town, and lights up LUhonia and Con
yers. It will furnish power for t\ ll
Carolia and Atlanta electric railway.
Treasurer Is Missing.
Chicago, May 24.—Anton Pitra, the
treasurer of the American Buhaing.
Loan and Homesteac] association, b
missing, and an investigation of his
books is said to have revealed a short- j
age of about >11,000. Pitra was as
prominent Bohemian resident of Chi
cago.
Parkhurst Goes to Liverpool.
New York, May 24.—Rev. Dr. Chaa.
H. Parkhurst sailed for Liverpool to-
day on the White Star liner Baltic. He
will remain abroad until September.
E. S. Willard, the actor, also sailed on
the Baltic.
THE UNION CENTRAL LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY
“The Great Policy-Holders' Company''
Conditions in policies of THE UNION CENTRAL as interpreted by a local concern;
thanking them for their intelligent services, and assuming the conditions as given to
be correct, we again give them below for purpose of emphasizing them:
naaasmm
Cash Value--
Guaranteed at the end of twenty years.
Death Claims--
Payable within sixty days after satisfactory
proof of death.
Dividends—
Payable at the end of second year.
Grace in Payment of Premiums—
, No provision. The Company will accept
notes in payment of premiums if application
is made on or before date premium falls due.
Incontestability-
Policy is incontestable from issue, except for
suicide within three years, non-payment of
any premiums or notes given for same, or
interest on such notes, entering the military
or naval service, becoming employed in a
liquor saloon without the consent of the Com
pany, or misstatement of age. Company
will pay reserve value.
Suicide—
Suicide or self destruction by any means, in
the first three years, whether sane or insane,
this policy shall be null and void.
Re-Instatement—
No provision. The practice of the Company
is to allow re-instatement within one year
upon furnishing satisfactory certificate of
health and payment of all arrears.
Occupation-
Employment in liquor saloons or military or
naval service without the consent of the Com
pany is forbidden. Extra premiums required
for engaging in certain occupations.
The management of the Union Central, like many others
well versed in insurance matters, is opposed to “Cash
Values,” which are a temptation to the policy-holder to
sell out his insurance. The Union Central makos liberal
loans (guaranteed in policy) to its policy-hoUhr^s, tfhich
accommodates them, at the same time keeping their in
surance in force.
No Company makes quicker settlement of Death Claims
than the Union Central. In event of irregularity in proof
of death, we claim sixty days, if necessary, in which to
investigate.
No Company can pay dividends at end of first year
without taking surplus belonging to older policy-holders.
(You are “first year” policyholder but ONE year; an “old”
policy-holder for maybe twenty years or more. See the
point?) Union Central pays TWO Post Mortem Divi
dends ; no other Company pays MORE THAN ONE.
There is no more liberal Company than the Union Cen
tral regarding grace in payment of premiums. If you
can’t pay your annual premiums when due, the Company
will accept 80-day, 60-day or 90-day notes, or even longer
when circumstances warrant.
Incontestability conditions are about on a par with all of
the good, conservative life insurance companies.
Loans—
After three years the Company will loan cash
value at 8 per cent, interest, next succeeding
year’s premium being deducted.
Military or Naval Services—
Such service at any time without the written
consent of the Company, voids the policy,
but Company will pay reserve value.
Non-Forfeiture-
After three premiums have been paid, in the
event of lapse, the Company will, without
action on the part of the insured, extend the
policy as a non-participating term contract.
Rut should death occur within three years
while policy is so extended, the unpaid an
nual premium, with interest, will be deducted
from the face of the policy.
If you intend to commit suicide, we prefer you to insure
in some other company, or at least, wait three years for
decency’s sake (and the other policy-holders’ sakes),and
pay the Company a few premiums before calling on them
for face value of your policy.
If you have a lapsed policy in the Company, apply for
re-instatement. On evidence of good health the Union
Central is eager to get you back.
The Union Contral does not insure people in certain ex
tra hazardous occupations, and if, after insuring, you en
gage iq one of these, it is only fairness to the balance of
the policy-holders that you pay some extra premium com
mensurate with the extra risk.
Union Central’s rate of interest to borrowers may appear
high ; but considering that other policy-holders pay the
same interest, you get back in your larger dividends
enough to warrant your paying good interest if yod borrow.
Insuring a business man in a healthy avocation in Gaff
ney is quite different from insuring a man undergoing the
hardships of war and disease, and facing the bullets of
battle. The latter might be good for a soldier, but it’s
against the interests of all who stay at home in Gaffney.
Union Central non-forfeiture provisions are fair to all
parties. These reasonable conditiorfs give better and safer
insurance and larger dividends to policy-holders.
The Union Central, being a Stock Company, it’s the
“stockholders who are liable in case of dire calamities,
whereas, in “mutuals” the policy holders must bear
the burdens.
