petitioned recent council asking that

would have been kept at home and
when the stringency in the money
market comes, these bonds them
selves would constitute local med

high denominational bonds, used to
purchase circulating medium abroad
has caused communities to he drained

many have resorted to an unnatural
method of buying their goods hun

specting the same. The mail order
house is an institution that has risen
out of condition created by those
who condemn that institution most,

cedod 10 Japan great territory in
Manchuria was due chiefly to the
Intervention of the United states
but Japan was not satisfied "It ex

it did not get, and absolute pos

he said. The nation was disap-
pointed and the result was resent
ment of the japanese people aIgainst
The United States. But the leaders
are beginning TO see that this coun-
try was Japans friend, that If the
war had been protracted the Japan
csc army must have fallen back.
Those who financed the war know
this. They know there was no excuse
for conflict with the United States
and they know that the problem
of peace are a powerful argument

my husband in using them. He suf-

help him until he got Doan's Kidney
Pills at Flocken's Pharmacy and
found relief after the first few doses.
An extended treatment rid him of
the backache and all the pains in the
loins, and likewise regulated the ac-
ton of the kidneys until the secre-
