OUR GREATEST PROBLEM

Is going to war the highest duty of a
patriot? If that were so, then few have
a chance to prove whether or not
they would fulfill the highest duty
dying for their country. And the wo-
men, can't they be patriots? There are
more years of peace than of war. We
have our schools for training for service
in war. What are we doing for train
ing for service in time of peace, train
ing for the service all men may render?
Are our boys getting as practical train
ing in how to vote, why they vote, and
the meaning and intention of govern
ment by the people for the people?
What is the greatest unsolved problem
of our day? Is it the liquor question,
tuberculosis, tariff revision, child labor,
housing the poor, equal rights, the
trusts? Is it a worlds peace or great
er navy?
1t is none of these. Our great prob
lem is caused by the Indifferent, lax,
unawakened, selfish, thotless, ignorant,
unframed citizenship, evident especially
in our cities. The men who go out of
town over election day on pleasure,
the men who vote to serve some person
al, private interests, the ignorant voter
who takes orders from the political
boss, the thoughtless one who forgets
to vote, the Indifferent one who doesn't
care who gets in or rules-these make
our problem. The New Idea Woman s

HOW WIND PRODUCES WAVES
IT'S ACTION UPON DE;sER' SAND AND
PRAIRIE SNOW.

The Average Height OF Waves in Feet
Is Half the Velocity of the Wind in
Miles What 1t Does to Snow and
Sand on Prairies.
There are wind waves in water,
sand and snow. The great sea waves
are produced at that part of a cyclone
where the direction of the wind coin
cides with the direction of advance
of the depression. Along this line of
advance the waves in their progress
are accompanied by strong wind
blowing across their ridges as long as
tie atmospheric depression is main
tanned. So the waves are developed
until they become steep. The aver
age height in feet is about half the
velocity of the wind in miles.
A wind of fifty-two miles an hour
gives waves of an average height of
twenty-six feet, although individual
waves will attain a height of forty
feet. The -~evailing wind in all
longitudes i westerly, so wherever
westerly w,od springs up it finds a
,cne westery swell, the effect of a pre-
ions wind stu running, and the prin-
cipal effect of the newly born wind is
to increase the steepness OF the al
leody running long swell so as to
ornl majestic storm waves, which
sometimes attain length of 200 feet
from crest to crest. The longest
swels due to wind are almost invisi-
le during storms, for they are mask
Cd by the shorter and sleeper waves,
ht they emerge into view after or
beyond the storm.
Tie action Of the wind to drift dry
sand In a procession of waves is seen
in the deserts. As the sand waves
cannot travel by gravitation their
movements are entirely controlled by
the wind, and they are therefore much
simpler and more regular in form and
movement than ocean waves. In their
greatest heights of several hundred
IT t? e for: er become more complex
owing to the partial consolidation of
he lower layers of sand by pressure,
tut t: ey still have the characteristic
wave features.
In the Winnipeg prairies of Canada
cshly fallen snow is drifted by wind
y n procession of regular waves pro-
crossing with visible and gkostlike
ction. They are similar to desert
sand waves, but less than half as
teer, the wave length being fifty
ines as great as the height. The
.Iatress of the wind formed snow
waves affords a valuable indication of
re great distance to which hills shell
fer from the wind

A STEADY DRAIN
Sick Kidneys Weaken the Whole
Body-MakeYou Ill, Languid
and Depressed.


Sick kidneys weaken the body thru
the continual drainage of life giving
albumen from the blood into the
urine, and the substitution of poison
GUS uric acid that goes broadcast thru
the system, sowing the seeds Of dis
ease. Loss of albumen causes week
ness, languor, depression. Uric pois
oning causes rheumatic pain, nervous
ness, nausea, cricks in the back, gray
ell and kidney stones. The proper
treatment is a kidney treatment, and
the best remedy is Doan's Kidney
Pills. Great Ladysmith cures prove it
Mrs. ]. M. Donahue, living in the
eastern part of Ladysmith, Wis, says:
"Mr. Donahue suffered from a lame
ness in his back for over three
months, the trouble often laying him
off from work. After sitting for a
while, he would get so stiff that he
could hardly straighten. He finally
happened to read about Doan's Kid
ney Pills, and procured a box at
MONEYS Pharmacy. He used them
as directed, and in a few weeks there
remained no sign of the backache.
am now giving Doan's Kidney Pills
to my little daughter and the results
so far have been satisfactory"
