HIDDEN DANGERS
NATURE GIVES TIMELY WARN.
INGs THAT NO PERRYS6URG
CITIZEN CAN AFFORD TO
IGNORE.

DANGER SIGNAL NO. comes
from the kidney secretions. They
will warn you when the kidneys are
sick. Well kidneys excrete a clear,
amber fluid. Sick kidneys send out a
thin, pale and foamy, or a thick, red,
ill-smelling urine, full of sediment
and irregular of passage.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. 2 comes
from the back. Back pains, dull and
heavy, or sharp and acute, tell you of
sick kidneys and warn you of the ap-
proach of dropsy, diabetes and
Bright's disease. Doan's Kidney Pills
cure sick kidneys and cure them per-
manently. Here's Perrysburg proof:
S. ]. Croft, Cor. Cherry and Indiana
Streets. Perrysburg, Ohio, says:-'.My
kidney trouble came from hardships
that | endured during the war. Some
OF the attacks were severe and | have
been for weeks at a time laid up
on account OF terrible backaches. The
kidney secretions were toe frequent and
accompanied by burning sensation. I
heard OF Doan's Kidney Pills and pro-

AT THE vALEN.
TINE THEATRE, TOLEDO,
WEEK OF NOVEMBER
EIGHTEENTH.

Richard Garlic will make his ap-
pearance at the Valentine Theatre,
Toledo, Ohio, in "The Spring Chick
en-" the sprightly musical comedy
that has proved so wonderfully sue
cessful wherever presented, on Mon
day and Tuesday evenings, November
1919. There is everything in "The
Spring Chicken" to make 1t popular.
The dialogue is good, the jokes are
really funny, the characters unique,
the music wonderfully catchy, the
dances pretty, the girls charming
the most popular song numbers are
"a Lemon in the Garden of Love-"
Waiting for a Certain Girl" "All the
terdam," II Don't Know But Guess"
Any Skirt" and q dozen others that
have been whistled from one end of
the United States to the other.
Eddie Foy in 'The Orchid" will ap-
pear at the Valentine Theatre on
Wednesday, November Goth. Mr.. Foy
is known to the theatre public as
one of the most reliable laughter
producers on the stage. His antics
have in them a quality of the carl
cature that never failed to arouse
amusement. This result is such an
integral part of his method that he
can always be depended upon to
furnish merriment from any material
allotted to him. In "The Orchid" he
has an especially adaptable vehicle to
the purpose. 1t is replete with comic
situations from the beginning of the
action until it's conclusion and the
lines sparkle with up to date satire.
Of all these Mr.. Foy makes full use
and the result is an evening of COM
plete enjoyment. The Offering is an
exceptional one and should attract
much out-oftown patronage.
On Thursday, November 21st, the
Valentine Theatre will offer one of
the greatest triumphs of the season,
w. H. Crane in Father and the
Boys" This new piece is from the
pen of George Ade and marks dis
tinct advance in his work. 1t has been
characterized by the Chicago critics
as splendid American play possess
ing coherent story with strong
dramatic plot and a constant play of
humor which is irresistible. w. H.
Crane appears in role portraying
the modern business man who re-
tains a sense of proportion and a
quick insight into the humorous
aspects of things. He sets out to
show his two sons the foolishness of
their indolent and extravagent ways
and the result is, it is assured, a
story of much interest as we'll as of
unflagging humor. This performance
is one which no theatre goer should
fail to witness.
"The Gingerbread Man." which
comes to the Valentine Theatre Sat
urday, November 22d, in fairy spec
tacle and musical extravaganza we'll
worth seeing. The scenes of the story
are laid in Fairyland, the first act in
Santa Claus country, the second act
on the borderland between the realms
of King Bum and King Sugar Plum.
Perhaps the most unique and beauti-
full feature of "The Gingerbread
Man" is a novel scenic effect in the
second act, when Evelyn Francis Kel-
logg as Little Jack Horner" sings
Moon, Moon, Moon" High above
the darkened stage a glowing, cres-
cent moon, bearing gorgeously at
tired beautiful girl swings into view,
singing in answer to the salutation of
her worshippers. The chorus sings a
soft, melodious refrain.

A SUCCESSFUL YEAR

On Tuesday of this week, the new
Perrysburg Banking Company reach
ed its first anniversary of the opening
of the bank. AT meeting of the
Directors on that date a very salts
factory condition OF business was
shown, the deposits having reached
100000 the first year.
The stockholders have every rea-
son to feel elated with the success of
their venture, and to look forward to
continued prosperity.

Soothing syrup of some sort and in
some quantity is to be administered
to Wall Street when Congress meets.
At least that is the hope of the lead
ing financiers. The Street has been
crying for the remedy and apparently
will not be happy till it gets it. The
Treasury Department has done all
that it properly could in the past
fortnight to relieve the situation. 1t
has put out large deposits of govern
ment money in National banks and
has pointed out to the banks now
they can increase their note circula-
ton and thus add to the total supply
of money available. All this Is well
enough, but the Stock Exchange
wants some concrete assurance from
the White House that the govern
ment is not "agin it," With this end
in view two of the most prominent
financiers of New York, H. G. Flick
and President Gary of the Steel
Trust called at the White House this
week and begged the President to in
sert something reassuring in his mes
sage when it came to the financial
paragraph. The President is engag-
ed in writing his message now and it
is we'll known of course that he will
touch on the general financial situa-
tion. 1t is understood without being
definitely known that he will recon-
mend currency legislation. This is
one of the most pressing needs OF
the nation from a business stand
point. 1t is well known that he wants
to recommend the best line of action
possible and to this end he has taken
the advice of the Secretary of the
Treasury, the Secretary of State and
the Comptroller of the Currency. 1t
IS quite possible. that he absorbed the
views of Messrs. Frick and Gary as
representing the large business inter
ests, and it is understood from men
with whom these gentlemen talked
after their call at the White House
that they were assured that there
should be nothing alarming to the
business interests" In the message.
Now what the President considers
alarming and what the business in
terests consider alarming may not
quite coincide. Probably they will
look for something actively pleasant.
Probably the Presidents idea will be
to refrain from saying much that is
actively unpleasant But whatever
form the soothing syrup takes, the
financial world will have to make the
best of 1t.

JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION NOTES.
EDITOR VIRGINIA CITIZEN:

Since Manager Barr has evoluted af
fairs into one-man head, half of the
managers and their employees have
stepped down and out and salaries have
been much reduced. The fat plums for
clerical and minor offices, given largely
to friends of the heads of the Expos-
ition, are thing the past. In fact,
positions are harder to secure there
than they would be in New York.
King & Queen has set her sister
counties in this section notable exam
pie in providing for the publication of q
history of that county for distribution
at the jamestown Exposition. Thirty
thousand copies will be published and
distributed and unquestionably much
good will result from the plan. No
other county in this section seems to
have deemed it worth the while to in
troduce itself to the multitude of
strangers who will visit Tidewater Vir-
GINA this summer, or to invite their at
tention to the many advantages here
offered prospective settlers and home
seekers. -Southside Sentinel.

VIRGINIA WOMEN.

Remembering the mad rush of New
York women to secure cards admit
ting them to famous murder trial a
few months ago, Northern newspapers
have already directed attention to the
fact-which seems remarkable to them
that not single woman entered the
courtroom at Houston, where case of
similar Importance in this State was
being heard. The newspapers need
not express surprise because of this.
Indeed there would be surprise and
modification if the women of Virginia
showed the least desire to be present
when terrible story was being I'M
folded on the witness stand. Their
very nature rebels against the thought
They have sympathy and compassion
for those afflicted; they feel most
keenly for one of their sex who has
been placed in position more irving
than death itself, and they prefer to
show it by remaining away.
There were no women at the Strotber
trial at Culpeper. The women of V;r-
ginia, thank God, are not depravad
Their modesty and sense of decencv
make them shudder at the thought of
piling into foul courtroom. -Times-

MURDER In ESSEX.
Prominent Citizen Murdered by
Step-son, and Citizens Greatly
Aroused. NhiskeY the Cause.

Thos. c. Mcdaniel, aged 80, a grand
son of the late Congressman Croxton,
was found murdered Saturday on prop
erty owned by his wife just outside
of Tappahannock.
So far as evidence before coroner's
jury, and outside information goes, he
was shot through the breast, at short
range, with shot gun in the hands of
Brockenbrough Wright, son of Nc
Daniels wife. 1t seems that young
Wright and several others had been
rioting and drinking on the premises
when ordered away by Mcdaniel. The
result was murder.
Wright, who is in Jail, has hardly a
sympathizer in the county, even his
mother, who was before marriageto Mr..
Mcdaniel the widow of the late Moore
Wright, taking the side of her slain
husband. Sentiment is furious against
young Wright, but nothing hasty will
be attempted. Mcdaniel was one of the
most popular men in Essex.

A MENACE TO HUMAN LIFE.
IRichmond Times-Dispatch.l

The acquittal of Judge Loving is
enough to alarm the State. Ifthis trial
and verdict establish a precedent in
Virginia, hereafter when a woman
charges man with an offense against
her honor, and relates it to a male
member of the family and so influence
his passion as to cause ''brainstorm"
such a man will be justified in Staying
the person accused. 1t will matter
not whether the woman's story be true
or false; whether it be an exaggeration
or pure invention. Not a word of
testimony can be introduced in court to
impeach the witness. The only thing
necessary will be to make the Jury be-
lieve that she told such story to the
prisoner at the bar and that the shock
OF it deprived him of his reason for
the moment If the prisoner was once
drunkard and had injured his brain
and weakened his will power by strong
drink, so much the better for his case.
He will be less responsible in law than
otherwise he would have been. Can
any doctrine more dangerous than this
be imagined (! 1t is simply astounding
We balk at this new version of
the "unwritten law" which is the
worst form of lynch law. If a
man hears from any source a charge
against another which so enrages him as
to produce brainstorm, whether the
story be true or not, he is justified in
committing murder.
This must not be the practice in Vir-
ginia. We are carrying the "unwritten
law" and the doctrine of responsibility
to absurd and dangerous extremes. |
Public sentiment must be aroused and
crystalized, and there must be radical
revision of the criminal law by the next
Legislature.
