Doan’s Effected Marvelous Recovery. “Without warning I was dragged to the brink of the grave by malignant kidney trouble,” says Robert Wen gatz, 114 Cypress Ave., Bronx, N. Y. “My kidneys seemed to stop acting arid the pains in my bank were terrible. Big, bloaty puffs came under xny eyes and attacks of dizziness often blinded me. My limbs swelled twice normal size and I could press big dents in to the flesh. “I was confined to w iu ». Led and had convulsions nr. WtufltZ. several times a day. Despite the best of treatment, I grew worse and was taken to the hospital. I didn’t improve, however, and was brought home again, barely holding onto life. “Toward the last of 1913, a friend persuaded me to try Doan's Kidney Pills and I cannot put into1 words what they did for me. The first box helped more than all the other medi cines and treatments I had taken. I continued and from an emaciated wreck of a man I have taken on good, solid flesh until I now weigh 225 pounds and am in the best of health! Doan's alone deserve the credit.” Sworn to before me.

LIFT YOUR CORNS \ j OFF WITH FINGERS | I How to loosen a tender corn ' or callus so it lifts out - without pain. Let folks step on your feet hereafter; wear shoes a size smaller if you like, for corns will never again send electric sparks of pain through you, according to this Cincinnati authority. He says that a few drops of a drug called freezone. applied directly upon a tender, aching corn, instantly re lieves soreness, and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts right out. This drug dries at once and simply shrivels tip the corn or callus without even irritating the surrounding skin. A small bottle of freezone obtained at any drug store will cost very little but will positively remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one’s feet If your druggist hasn’t stocked this new drug yet, tell 'him to get a small bottle of freezone for you from hif wholesale drug house.—a<lv. A Maniac in the Trench. An officer writes about an incident which is probably one of the most guresome that has been recorded of life in trenches: One night as a working party un der Lieutenant Hathbone was proceed ing down a communication trench, they were fired upon front1 close quarters. On inquiry Lieutenant Hathbone as certained that the shots came from a soldier who had run amuck, and had posted himself with loaded rifle and fixed bayonet farther down the trench. Lieutenant Hathbone borrowed a rifle, and, accompanied by -Corporal Feld wick, advanced along the trench until in view of the mentally deranged man. They then advanced with rifles at the ready, the officer calling upon the man to surrender. -Heceiving no reply, they then dropped their rifles and rushed him, and after disarming him took him to the neai-est dressing station. Cor poral Feld wick, who is a„ prisoner of war, has also been awarded the Albert medal of the second class. CLEAR YOUR COMPLEXION While You Sleep With Cuticura Soap and Ointment—Trial Free.

From th© St. Lout i Pest-Dispatch. While it is true, no doubt, that the unrest in {formally today is due in a large measure to the privations and sufferings that the peo ple of the empire have unde* gone since duly, 1911. it. is in reality the couteirplal ion of the near future which is filling the 1-0:111 try 1 with mutterings from Kinden to Momel. It is a lilac 1; prospect that Germany is facing, and the meanest peasant knows i? despite the best efforts of the government’s paid optimists. Here are a few of the -things that are tending to make the peace without victory idea ex tremely palatable in the central powers these clog days: The Russian army is on the. offensive with a great lorn- hanging j on the brows of the. Carpathians, ready t.o break into Hungary, the flour barrel of the* Teutonic buncl. A reorganized Rumanian army, 400,000 strong is on the eve of plunging forward to retake its occupied wheat fields and oil lauds. In the rear is an allied force of 500,000 or more with a Greek army of 200,000 being put into shape for a smash at the Bcrlin-Coa stantinople life artery. The United states, with unlimited money, men and food supplies will soon make its great weight felt. j Neutral countries who have been feeding Germany with the crumbs from their ample tables will soon have no crumbs to give away. I The British-Franco armies on the western front are hammering successfully on the western front. The submarine war, of which so much was expected, lias been a bitter disappointment to the people. It is steadily decreasing in effectiveness. Copper, steel, rubber and other essentials of war are growing scarcer and the United States is taking action to see that no new supplies reach Germany. China and other quasi-neutrals are getting ready to lend effective . assistance to the allies. The burden of financing Turkey and Bulgaria is becoming op pressive. Thdrc is a growing bitterness in the dual monarchy against Ger man control that may at any time break out in open revolt. These are some of the things that the future holds forth for the German people. The situation is calculated to upset even the stolid, government owned mind of a Prussian professor. Bank Loans on Potatoes. * From the Brooklyn Eagle. At the request of the food administration department, the federal reserve board has classified potatoes as “nonperishable” and per mitted the rediscounting of paper with warehouse receipts as collateral by national reserve banks. The member banks will have to determine on the margin of security, and on the sort of warehousing done. * The view of the food administrators, accented by the bankers, is this: Potatoes, properly graded and packed and stored in weather proof and responsible warehouses would undoubtedly constitute a readily marketable nonperishable staple, within the meaning of the Regulation, Nowt it is clear enough to any man who comes from a potato raising country that the potato is not “nonperishable” in the sense in which the term is applied to wheat or to cotton, but within time limits, determined by atmospheric conditions, a bushel of potatoes is of fixed value in the maintenance of human life. The effect of the new regulation should be to stimulate the raising of potatoes. Some economists may doubt whether easy storing with a cash advance on what is stored will tend to bring down prices to the consumer. But the facility of holding visible supply may be balanced by the ease with which government can lay its hands on hoarders, if, or when, congress enacts the food law. The experiment is interesting. It goes a bit further than the old Farmers’ alliance, or the people’s party ever sought to have the government go. Actually, though not technically, it is the government that does what is ordered by the federal reserve board, because the whole banking system is upheld by the United States credit, and is trusted fully as the depository of government funds. SOME LESSONS FROM THE WAR. The American Journal of Public Health publishes ah article on sanita Uon and hygiene in the war zone writ ten by Mr. Saville from English and French publications. The following methods and other facts are taken from this article: For dry antiseptics the - French use jhloride of lime (as a deodorant), ferric sulphate (to prevent fermentation), and juicklime (to destroy organic matter). Formalin solutions are used as body iisinfectants. For field use the only lislnfectants used are as follows: Chloride of lime. Put 3 ounces in a luart of water, then dilute to 10 quarts. Corrosive sublimate. One quart to 1,000; 30 grains of sea salt to the quart »f solution adds to the efficiency. Heavy coal oils in emulsion with urater 50 to 100 to the 1,000 are deodor ints especially valuable in urinals. Bedding and linen are sterilized by (team. To sterilize feces and urine use £ per ■ent copper sulphate, 2 to 3 per cent :resol, or 4 per cent chloride of lime. Lice are removed from the hair bl ubbing in equal parts of kerosene and dive oil. This is left on 24 hours and hen washed off. Benzine, kerosene, md 10 per cent acetic acid used singly ire also effective. , Lice in the clothing are removed by i powder composed'of 2 per cent iodo iorm, 2 per cent creosote, and 96 per cent naphthalene. The seams are smeared by mineral oil, nine parts; soft soap, five parts; water, ope part. The care of the feet is of first im portance. Each regiment has at least one expert chiropodist. For corns daily painting with a .solution of 60 grains of salicylic acid, eight grains of canna bis indica extract, and one ounce of flexible colodion is done. After a few days of this the corn is ready to be re moved. All blisters on the feet are pricked at the end of the day and painted with tincture or iodine. Boots large enough to permit the wearing of two pair of socks are worn. The pair* of socks next the skin are .woolen. Boots are oiled twice a day inside and out with castor oil or olive oil. Socks must be clean each morning, Jf fresh socks cannot be had each day the used pair must be turned inside out and aired. * The British allow one quart of water for each 7V4 miles marched when the infantry is on the road. Men on the march are allowed one gallon of water a day for drinking purposes; in camp at least three pints. The water allow ances for ali purposes when men are in barracks is 20 gallons. The simplest method of sterilizing water is by cooking it into a weak tea. Sterilization of water by chemicals has been very satisfactory. ►4444444444444444444444444 4 A SOLDIER’S PRAYER.' 4 4 ___ 4 4 By Harold MaeGratb, of the 4 4 Vigilantes. 4 4 Lord, give me this day my 4 4 manhood to stand straight.

What are you worth to Uncle Sam In thi.^ hour of need? asks The Cleveland Plain Dealer. If you are a normal adult nan or woman your minimum legal valu ation may be placed at So,000. If you are a normal youth or maid from 16 to 30. Prof. Irving Fisher, of Yale, says your money value may be set down as $3,000. If you are a healthy, happy, romping boy or girl from 5 to 16. your worth is said i to be $3,600, and If you are under 5 your j price tag may be marked $1,600, although i I have yet to meet the mother who would | exchange her babe for so paltry a sum. It is estirnatei that more than 60,000 ; school children die yearly from preventa ble disease. This year this will mean that Uncle Sam must bear a lc^s of $135,000,000; worth of youthful assets In addition to his other enormous burdens, loss due largely to the carelessness of fathers, mothers, municipalities! and states, as well ^ ae of the children themselves. j Monopoly on Mission Boxes. From Answers, London. * It i» curious how certain trades and oc cupations remain peculiar to certain families. There is one curious occupation, which employes a large number t men today, which, is in the hands of the same family that has been associated with it for many generations. It is the making of mission ary boxes. It might be supposed that any car- j penter could knock together a suitable i receptacle for contributions# to mission- ; ary and other charitable funds, but the J fact remains that every missionary so ciety, every church organization, that j requires a collecting box'goes, as a mat- : ter of course, to this old established firm j whose Speciality it is to make such boxes. . | It is a thriving business, and one which has profited rather than suffered through the war, for the institution of j flag days and other means of collecting funds has led to an enormous increase in the demand for boxes. The Turning Hour of Life. Phillips Brooks. There are no times in which opportunity, the chance to be and to do, gathers so ■ richly about the soul as when it has to , suffer. Then everything depends upon whether the man looks to th<* lower or the higher helps. * * * If he looks to God, the hour of suffering is the turning hour of life. —..--»o A Call for the Pinch Hitter.

MANY GIRLS ARE SENSIBLE Those Who Think and Act With Dis cretion Are Playing Important Part in World’s Work. __ » K Cynics have hail so much to say, in their caustic way about frivolous girls that a visitor from Mars, unaccustomed , to our mode of life, might suspect there are no sensible girls on tins planet. But those who go (a and out :>f the homes of the people a great deal know there are girls who think, who rortson and who act with wise discrim ination, says a writer In the Salt Lake Hera hi-Republican. Suppose there are those of languid nr eoquetisli temperaments who spend idle hours In conjuring up romantic day dreams and who engage in flirta tious follies when they go abroad in public. They create more comment be cause they do most to lure the eye of admiration that, is easily attracted by physical charms. The domestic girl may not he less ia-( ored In the endowment of feminine graces, but being not so vain and hav ing a profound regard for the more enduring attributes of human affec tion, her faculty of ratiocination schools her indifference to infatua tion that is only .shallow an# transi tory. We hnve evidences everywhere of tlie girls who think and are doirtg a great part of the world's work. They have taken upon themselves an ever Increasing share of the professions where thinking is essential to doing. They take an active interest in the educational, industrial and ecor.omic problems of the community, state and nation in which many of ihe most prac tical suggestions are made liy girls and women who think. They are nobly as suming Serious responsibilities imposed by war, as .they will also in the mighty tasks that will come after the war. And the greatest blessing of all which sends a ray of hope,through the mists of the present is that girls who think will become the dependable mothers of the future. For Safety's Sake. Two brothers who live in an East Lancashire manufacturing town were noted for being exceptionally well served with nasal organs. One of the ring spinners at the mill where they worked invited them to a wedding, and promised to send a cab for them, says London Tit-llits. The cab duly arrived, and the two brothers entered and planted them selves down, one at each window. In order to create an impression dur ing the drive to the wedding, the two brothers were looking out of the cab, one on either side, so that the people could see them. All went well until the cab came to a rather narrow‘railway arch, which our travelers had to pass through. The cabman looked back to take his ltoar tngs, and seeing the two brothers’ ncses sticking out of the windows on either side, shouted: ‘‘I'm them elbows in, please!"

Former Congressman George R, Smith of Minneapolis Is fond of hunt/ ing imiMakes great pride in the owner ship of a costly setter dog of nobis birth. One day an old man, who was acting as guide for the hunt, came neat making a lifelong enemy of Smith by criticizing the dog’s technique In ths field. “The dog's perfectly all right,” de clared Smith, indignantly. “I wouldn't trade him for,any dog I ever saw, only in* doesn't get quite enough exercise. I'm busy and h;ive to keep him penned uii a good deal. He ought to have more exercise and that would improve his hunting.” “Has he got any fleas?” inquired the old man. v “Should say not,” replied Smith, in sulted. “That dog has his bath every week the same as I hope you do.” “Why don’t yob give him a few fleas?” * 1 “What do you mean, give litm fleas? Why should I want a fine dog like him to have fleas?” “(Veil," opined the guide, thought fully, “they'd give him exercise.”—St Louis Republic.
