AUSTRALIA TRAINING AN ARMY
FOR FIRST TIME, IN FEAR OF
JAPANESE Or GERMAN ATTACK

Correspondence Chicago Daily News.
SYDNEY, N. S. W., Aug. 17.-July
will be memorable in the histoy Of
Australia for the taking of the first
step toward the realization of an army
property trained and accoutered to de
fend our shores. We have talked
about it for years; we threw away the
independence of our individual states
and we combined in a federal govern
ment with that main object in view
and at last it has come about. From
one end of Australia to the other has
been heard, for the first time, the
tramp of citizen army on which we
are to rely in future for our defense.
Attracted by the novelty of the event,
crowds gathered in every city and
town to witness the initial drill, and
the same impression was created
throughout Australia-that our citizen
army was a veritable broken reed
since it consisted entirely of youths.
There seems to be a general feeling
that the compulsory training of a citi-
zen army is step in the right direc-
ton. There are many difficulties to be
encountered, especially in out-of-the-
way districts where the population is
located at wide intervals, but the dan
gers that await an unarmed Australia
are so formidable that these difficult

For there is no mistaking the fact
that the tremendous energy displayed
by Germany of late years in the crea-
ton of a dreadnought fleet is direct
menace to British trade; that at any
moment Great Britain may be engaged
in a struggle for life in the North sea;
that if the declaration of London is
adopted, the commerce of Australia
might be frightfully harrassed and
that, in the event of British defeat,
we would be Immediately attacked.
Nor is Germany the only enemy to
be feared. In these southern seas
there is a little brown race whose
navy in the Pacific is supreme; whose
bravery, intelligence and sagacity are
beyond dispute, and whose ambition it
has long been to find some favored
spot where the teeming millions of
Japan might settle down. They have

C. H. Curtis will open a new and
up-to-date variety store and has Ieas-
ed the store building at 126 First st.
N, formerly occupied by the Barnes
confectionery. Mr. and Mrs. Curtis
come from DeKalb, ILL.,, and are now
residing in this city. The store has
been entirely remodeled and fitted up
with modern fixtures giving it me-
tropolitan appearance. The arrange
ment of the interior of the store has
been made under the personal super
vision Of Mr. Curtis and with an eye
to showing the goods to the best ad-
vantage and to make it easy and
pleasant for customers to trade there
Mr. Curtis has had considerable eX-
perience in this particular line of
merchandising and will open a store
that will be credit to the city. A
large line of useful and ornamental
articles will be carried including I'm
ported and Domestic China, Glassware
Crockery, Fancy Bric-a-brac, jew
elry, Graniteware, Tinware, Notions,
Leather Goods, Toilet Articles, Etc,
at prices ranging from one cent up.
The opening of this new store will
be on Saturday, Aug. 5, and announ-
cement of that fact will be made in
the columns of this paper. Watch
for it and be one of the many to
welcome another new business enter
prise to the city.

are set out in the report of the city
comptroller and in statement by
Commissioner Boyd. The showing
should convince st. Paul citizens that
the commission plan is the logical
system, and the desirable one when
properly administered. The differ
ence in the sizes of Eau Claire and
st. Paul is not material, except as
a measure of the opportunity for re
suits here and in the Wisconsin city.
The Eau Claire commissioners took
charge of that city's business a
year ago last April. There was SILL
712.77 in the treasury. There were
bonds due to the amount of $45 900.
The commissioners, instead of issuing
new bonds, drawing Az per cent in
terest for twenty years, borrowed the
money at the bank until such time
as they could pay the obligation. The
debt was cancelled during the year,
after paying $500 as interest. Thus
wiping out an interest charge of So
OPS year for nineteen years and
getting rid of the principle.
The commissioners paid $4,000 for
site for an industrial school. They
spent $4,000 for new school. They
made street improvements and water
extensions that were needed. They
reduced the water rates. They haye
paid up every bill against the city
and have settled everything the city
owed to the banks. They have given
satisfactory, businesslike admins
tration of the city and closed the
year with $8O,882.96 in cash on hand.
They not only paid off $45 600 OF
bonds but are advertising that they
will buy $4,000 more of the city's
bonds that are not yet due, thus
stopping interest charges on that "a
mount.
Commissioner Boyd explains that
all that was accomplished with an
income almost exactly the average

was no assessing the people to take
care of accumulated debts, The show
ing was made by cutting out waste
and extravaganza. There is nothing
nlysiertous about the success that
is being 2ttained in Eau Claire and
other well-goyerned commission CT
ties. The results are what may be
expected They are those Of bust
ness methods applied to plain bust
ness propositions. They could be
obtained in st. Paul and this city
should insist on having charter
which will make business methods pos
sible-St Paul Dispatch.

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE
Grand Rapids People Should Learn
To Detect the Approach of
Kidney Disease.

The symptoms of kidney trouble
are so unmistakable that they leave
no ground for doubt. Sick kidneys
excrete a thick, cloudy, offensive ur-
inc, full of sediment, irregular, ir-
regular Of passage or attended by
sensation of scalding. The back
aches constantly, headaches and d5z-
zy spells may occur and the victim
is often weighed down by feeling
of Ianguor and fatigue. Neglect
these warnings, and there is danger
of dropsy, Bright's disease. or diabet-
es. Any one of these symptoms is
warming enough to begin treating the
kidneys at once. Delay often proves
fatal.

Doanis Kidney Pills. Here's Grand
