Watch Your Kidneys!
That "bad back" is probably due to
weak kidneys. It shows in a dull,
throbbing backache, or sharp twinges
when stooping. You have headaches,
too, dizzy spells, a tired nervous feel
ing and irregular kidney action. Don't
neglect it—there is danger of dropsy,
gravel or Bright’s disease! Use Doan's
Kidney Pills. Thousands have saved
themselves more serious ailments by
the timely use of Doan’s. Ask Your
Neighbor!

J. If. Smith, retired
farmer, Springfield, S.

tled on my kidneys
and brought on at

trouble. I had to pass
the kidney secretions
too often and was
obliged to get up as
many as seven times :
at night. The secre
tions were distressing:
in passage too. My J
back got terribly lainojj
and I was miserable i
when I began taking ' _
Doan’s Kidney Pills. JftaJbnr* —
They brought me quick relief and one
box fixed me up all right; the lum
bago was removed and the trouble
with my kidneys.”

Why There is a Fiume Issue.
From the New York World.
With his usual gift of plain speech. Pre
mier Clemenceau puts in one short sen
tence the core of the Flume question:
"Italy promised Fiume to the Jugo
slavs but went back on her promise.”
The fact is undeniable. Tiie Italian
•Tugo-Slav love feast in Home confirmed it.
Tiie treaty of London, between Britain.
Italv and France, formally ratified it in
terms precise. And neither with the love
feast and the treaty of London nor with
th - official and unofficial proposals pre
cedi: both bad the United States any
thing ,0 (1°
The Fiume issue, thus settled, was re
vived in an attempt to save the Orlando
minietrv. It was claimed that, after the
treaty of London, the liussian collapse
Imposed fresh duties, dangers and sacri
fices upon Italy—which was true. But
that disaster did not lessen the need of the
Jugo-Slav;. behind Fiume. and lie- Mag
yars behind them, of a trade outlet by
the only standard gauge railroad across
the Dalmatian Alps.
The history of the Fiume question may
not indicate its solution now. But openly
or secretly. Fiume merchants favor the
treaty of London: a custom house behind
as well as before their doors would throtv
! trade to Trieste. The recent prebiseite,
£ though its full meaning is ill understood,
show's that Fiume tires of d’Annunzio. He
admits t hat "Fiume's voice has changed.”
All Italy's troubles in respect to Fiume
are th" result of the Italian government’s
attempt to nullify a promise.
Farmers Earned Their Profit.
From the Topeka Capital.
Tiie wages tiie farmers have bppn
obliged to i ay. the feed for teams and the
high priced seed and implements absorbed
a good part of the price of $2 wheat and
even of $1.50 corn, when corn crops were
t.ear failures. A good part of tiie country
has talked about the farmer's $2 wheat
as if the increase was profit. But with
tiie industrial strikes and threats of
strikes tiie country is corning around to
believe that whatever profit accrued to
the farmer was earned.
A Safety Zone.
From the Minneapolis Tribune.
Once in a white an idea comes out of
Mexico that is quite worth encouragement
on this side of the border. One of those
ideas lias just floated across. It con
templates the establishment of a neutral
zone throughout the length of tlie boun
dary line in which the sale of intoxicants
shall be restricted. Especially is this plan
desirable if ttie smuggling and use of
liquor have tended to inflame a situation
that is delicate and dangerous enough at
best.
Two-thirds of tlie estate of Lord Ply
mouth in East Worcestershire, England,
was purchased by his tenants. Most of
tlie estates being sold by various lords
end dukes throughout England are being
purchased by the tenants.
One Streak of Luck.
From the New York World.
There is not much luck in this world for
democrats but they must be able to find
a few grains of comfort in the report that
Henry Cabot Lodge Is to be chairman of
tlie republican national convention.
A Fine National Habit
From the New York Times.
The relief of suffering has become a na
tional habit, and those who are not af
fected by altruistic considerations may
remember that a starving Europe is not
the best guarantee of a prosperous
America.

The Real American Stab.
j She Would Not Agree to Limit Armaments—Other Na- j
tinnn IWTiict. Vniv Arm I
*•
From the London Spectator.
In our opinion, then, we must go forward with the league whatever the
policy momentarily adopted by America. The real danger of America's action
does not concern herself. It consists in the fact that other nations, great and
small, in whom ambition is beginning to awaken, may make the American
reservations an excuse for abandoning the league. In all probability the Ameri
can senators do not fully realize the enormous dynamic force which America
now exercises in the European world. It is not too much to nay that if the
Senate passed the treaty without reservation, no European state would have
flared to consider the possibility of breaking away. With America apparently
only hanging loose on the league, all the Maohiavellis, petty and great, of
Europe are inclined to say: “Why should we tie our hands if America won't tie
hers? I.et us be as free us she is.” If that evil counsel were (o prevail, Europe
would indeed be in deadly peril. Whether then the Americans are able to help
us at the moment or not, the rest of the great powers, Britain. France. Italy,
and Japan, and such smaller states as they can influence, must go forward with
the league. We detest the idea of exposing ourselves to the charge of exaggera
tion in such a matter as this, but the truth must be spoken even at the risk of
being thought sensational. If the League of Nations were to be abandoned, the
world would be exposed to dangers greater than it lias ever before encountered.
We must take from America as much as she can give us. and- foe we are
certabi we can do this safely—trust to her “making good" at n later dale, if she
cannot at present give us a scaled bond, we at any rate may find in her history
and in the character of iter people, guarantees as firm in reality though not
;n apnee-onoe, a? her plighted word.
'/he i.kgue must be.Iiluile a ilvfi.g thing, and if any difficulty should arise
the powers that compose it must, without any false shame or sense or amour
propre, app< al to America, if she remains outside, to help them in supporting
it. They would not, we are sure, make such an appeal in vain. Those who are
inclined to think that the league, with America not committed to it, will be of no
use, and so had better be thrown over at once, should consider bow infinitely
eas|er it uji! be to carry out the general wishes of mankind if such an organiza
tion as the league exists. Take the trouble of the moment. There Its no country
in the world, certainly not Russia, which does not passionately ties're to stop
th lighting which is now going on in northeastern Europe, to end Lois’: vist
tyranny, and to give the people of Russia whatever government Ik majority of
litem desire. If the League of Nations v.cre in existence. Its council would be
just the body which could handle the situation in Russia effectively, which
could tell the warring parties and nations to put up their swords which, in
fine, could make an end of the agony of a continent. Before Europe ami America
gathered under one banner even the ustutest and most self confident of
bolshevist tyrants must fear and tremble.
Wc have one more word to say by way postscript. Though generally we
do not take a tragic but only a serious view of the reservations, there is one
point on which wc agree that serious damage has been done by the Senate.
The reservations in regard to Article X do not by any naans kill the league.
The real trouble is found in the reservation under which America will not agree
to the limitation of armaments. Here is the crux, if Amcr.ea will not agree
to this limitation, it is to be feared that many of tHe* small state will follow
Iter example, for we can hardly say to th-m, though it is th* truth: “America is
far more likely to let her armaments go to si ed than any oth**r country in the
world, and therefore she can safely be allowed tin* luxury of insisting on tins
reservation. Vou cannot." if wo are not able to do something t> limit arma
ments and to prevent the old deadly competition, how is it possible that Europe
should ever heal her wounds? The mitigation of armaments, though admittedly
the most difficult point under the league, is also the po nt of most practical
importance. We tan hardly survive unless we bent our sworils into plough
shares. But in the present unrest anil distrust, how can we accomplish that
process unless there is a firm sljinil against competition ii< armaments, and
some machinery for preventing ambHiour. nations from sacrificing the material
interests of their people in order to have the opportunity some day of practicing
that system of international brigandage which we hoped to have destroyed for
ever when we destroyed the Prussian tyrants?

| Pooling With a Difference. |
From the New York World.
Tn a recent letter to the World, Judge Lovett, of the Vniou
Pacific system objects to a parallel drawn in these columns between
the old pooling system and certain features of the pending Cummins
hill. Tie says:
The facts are that all the old pooling arrangements dealt only with gross
earnings, not with net. The whole point of the objection to the Cummins lull
is that it appropriates net earnings.
And the whole point of this objection to the (Timmins bill is that
an appropriation of net earnings above a certain percentage would
tend to destroy competitive effort among all the roads in improving
and economizing service.
There is force in what Mr. Lovett says, considering the Cummins
plan by itself. But with the pooling of gross instead of net earnings,
and practically speaking, how greatly was competition in character
and economy of service stimulated? The whole tendency and the
whole purpose of the old pooling system was monopolistic and against
competition of any sort. The public records are silent about the
existence of any effective competition. The development of public
policy against that form of pooling is a continuous negation that com
petition existed. The whole scheme was of monopoly among all pos
sibly competing carriers whose individual incentives to better service
might be none the less deadened by diversions of gross instead of
net earnings for the benefit of others in the pool.
That the Cummins plan is a great improvement over that one in
respect to service competition will have to he conceded. Its particular
feature at this point is that it avoids monopoly for all of the carriers
which might he competing and divides them up into 20 or more
groups, which are left freely competing as to service and solvency,
hut not as to rates.

Lamp Inventions Slow.
From the Christian Science Monitor.
For at least 10.000 years, says a writer
who has made a hobby of collecting old
lamps, there was practically no change In
the type of lamp with which mankind
sought to carry on his affairs after night
fall. The ancient Homans, for example,
used almost identically the same kind ol
lamp as the so-called "betty” that th«
Pilgrims brought to Am'erida in the May
flower. A container held the oil, and
wick, floating or loosely confined in it,
provided a "smoky, smelly spark of light,”
all the more inconvenient because the oil
was so crude and the wick had frequently
to be "picked up" and freed of the accu
mulated carbon crust Yet the "betty”
| had its conveniences, for it possessed a
I staple by which it could be hung up
almost anywhere. Not till 1782 it's sur
! prising to learn, did Argand, a Swiss or
| French chemist, conceive the idea of a
j lamp with a wick and chimney; less sur
prising is it to know that Benjamin
I Franklin took a hand in the matter and
i discovered that two wicks placed close to
| gether were better than one.

WHENCE THE WORD CANNIBAL
Eaters of Human Flesh Were Inhabi
tants of the West Indian Island
of Caniba.
When Columbus landed on tlit* island
of Haiti a huge banquet was given in
his honor by a native' chieftain, and
<ni dial occasion lie chaiiced to notice
that two or three of the aboriginal
guests bore scars on their naked imilles
suggesting serious wounds.
In response to his polite inquiry,
they said that the scars represented
bites which gentlemen from the near
by island of Caniba had casually taken
out of their persons.
It was further explained flint the
people of Caniba (known today as
Porto Ideo) were addicted to the habit
of eating human flesh, and that, to ob
tain tliis gastronomic luxury they wore
accustomed to undertake armed raids
upon die Haitians and other neighbor
folks.
Hence (ns wtv^lenm) the origin of
die word “cannibal.”
