People with kidney ills want to be
cured. When one suffers the fortunes
of an aching back, relief is eagerly
sought for. There are many remedies
today that relieve, but do not cure.
Doan's Kidney Pills have brought last
ing results to thousands. Here is Ed
gerton evidence of their merit.
j. M. Ogden, E. Fulton ST., Edgerton,
Wis, says-'For more than year | was
annoyed by pains in the small of my
back. The attacks came on suddenly,
lasting for several hours and then disap-
pearing only to return again In few
weeks. / sometimes had headaches and
the kidney secretions were unnatural.
The use of few boxes of Doan's Kid
ney Pills procured at Atwell's Drug
Store, drove every symptom of kidney
complaint from my system and | am
now enjoying much better health. ="
1T gives me great pleasure to
again endorse Doan sKidney Pills, for

Selection of Food important.

Mothers Pension Law.

The same amount cannot be said
for the several measures introduced
to establish a mothers pension in
Wisconsin. There is strong senti-
ment here for the enactment of such
a proposition, but there is such a
wide. and determined difference of
opinion as to the best method Of adj
ministration, that the whole PROPOSE
ton may be defeated. Some of the
strongest social workers in the state
are opposing a mothers pension law
at this time On the ground that the
state should first make a thorough in
vestigation Of the subject.
One bill relating to waterpowers
has been passed in the house. That
is the Hull bill placing the amount
for which stockholders in dams may
be liable in case dams prove made
quate and damage results. In such
cases the bill provides that stockhold.
ers shall be liable for the amount of
stock they hold in the corporations.
A blue sky bin covering a pledge in
the Republican platform has been
agreed upon, and no serious opposi-
ton is anticipated. Several changes
in the election laws of the state are
pending and all of them are expected
to pass.

There is philosophy in that, al

There is certain exhiliaration in d

A young fellow recently had GER

an epoch in his history, and when six
months later his passbook was writ

spendthrift, and from becoming worse
than that for when money is spent
uncalculatingly it is likely to go not
only for what is necessary, but, pretty
soon, for what is bad; and so not only
does poverty breed poverty, but pow
erty easily falls down into depravity.
1t would be a genuine missionary
work to gather together all the men
who waste their surplus earnings in
the whisky shop and all the small
boys that are redolent with cigarette
smoke and prevail upon them to go to
the savings bank and lodge there the
first dime or dollar that can be rescued
from current expenses, and get a de-
post book and through even so mar
row a doorway as that, begin to enter
into the midst of what my friend call

Poverty is sometimes a habit and
sometimes an infection. AS a habit it
may be prevented, and perhaps cured,
although like other habits it is more
preventable than durable. Many peo-
pie who die poor might have died rich
If they had begun right
It is unfortunate that life, all the
way through, depends so largely on
what a boy does before he is old
enough to look forward and do care
full thinking of his own. 1t is all the
more necessary, therefore, that his
parents should do it for him. 1t would
be a great thing if We could start out
in life with as much common sense as
we are likely to acquire before We get
through living.
All of this applies CLOSELY to the
matter of being poor, the habit of be-
ing poorly which l mean the habit
Of spending all that one earns. OF
course, there are hosts of cases when
one can do nothing else, and it is a
wretched pity that it is so; and when
society is constructed as it ought to
be, it will not so often be So But this

There is a great difference between

(By Ella Wheeler wilcox
A short time ago a millinery estab-
lishment was raided in New York city
and 100 dead humming birds and many
birds of paradise and other corpses OF
beautiful plumaged birds were seized
by the authorities.
The law in New York. state forbids
the killing or selling of these lovely,
harmless and useful birds and forbids
the millinery establishments from
keeping them in stock for the adorn-
ment of women's heads.
A year has been given the trade to
rid itself of old stock and to devote it
energies toward creating more origin
al and sanitary and humane decorl-
lions for hats and bonnets. Yet the
demands of heartless, inconsiderate
and selfish women have caused the
managers of the millinery houses to
defy the law and place themselves in
the category of culprits and receivers
of illegal goods
No man on earth can be blamed for
this traffic in birds. The crime against
our feathered kin must be laid at the
door of gentle and lovely woman-she
who is clamoring for the ballot that
she may make the whole world better
Since this statement is a fact (Which
requires no proof other than a mo-
ment's refection) it should now be-
come the duty of all women who real
ly want to justify the claim of WORTH
ness of the sex to take part in affairs
of state to join in a crusade against
the use of dead birds or the plumage
of dead birds in millinery.
Every equal suffrage organization
should make this plank in its plat.
form.
All clubs organized for any humane
or reformatory or charitable work
should further the movement.
Their is not one argument which cal
be offered to support the use of these
decorations.
Argument for Furs.
There are arguments which can be
presented with a certain amount of
reason for the wearing of furs.
Furs do keep their wearers warm in
cold weather. Life would be almost un-

ECONOMY DEMOCRATS
GETTING into ACTION
Expenditures Causes Leaders
to Call a Halt

Washington, Feb. 14.-Economy diff
ferences among the house democrats
reached the leaders of the democratic
side, and efforts were made to recon
cile the factions, which threaten to
precipitate struggle over the naval
appropriation bill with it's two bat
tleship provision when it appears on
the floor.
Speaker Champ Clark, Majority
Leader Underwood and Representative
Fitzgerald, chairman of the appropria-
tons committee, conferred over the
entire appropriation situation for the
session, and Mr.. Fitzgerald told the
leaders in no uncertain terms that the
appropriations were amounting to a
much larger figure than had been an
ticipated He recommended vigorous
cuts in the bills yet to be passed.
After the conference Leader Under
wood talked over the situation with
members of the ways and means COM
mittee. Last nights meeting of the
economy advocates had taken up 4
resolution asking the ways and means
committee to discipline the naval at
fairs committee for increasing the
naval bill. The bill as framed by the
committee would carry about $146 ,000,-
900, and the economy advocates insist
that it should be cut about $4,000, 900.
Mr.. Underwood called on Representa-
tive Padgett of Tennessee, chairman
of the naval affairs committee, and
urged him to endeavor to cut down
the bill. Mr.. Padgett called the demo
Gratis of his committee together, but
they were unable to agree on any re-
duction and the matter was put over.
The economy advocates, who are
about sixty strong in the house, de-
clare they will flibuster and prevent
the passage of the bill at this session
unless the amount carried is MATERIAL
ly reduced. They will hold another
meeting tomorrow night, and unless
something is done n the way of re-
ducing the bill in the meantime, Il
resolution by Representative Sissio1,
of Mississippi, will be taken up which
would request the ways and means
committee to remove the entire demo-
cratic membership of the naval affairs
committee for extravaganza" and fail
ing to live up to the party's platform
pledges.
The public buildings omnibus bill
also will be a target of attack in the
house. Chairman Fitzgerald figures
that the appropriations already pro
posed to be enacted by this session Of
congress, exclusive of the public build
ings, run $115,OOOOOO above the total
of last year. Tonight Chairman Bur
nett, of the public buildings commit
tee, stated that his bill would aggre-
gate about $26,OOO,OOO.
1t was reported that the bill includes
substantial provisions for improve
ments in the districts of Democratic
Leader Underwood, Republican Leader
Mann, Chairman Fitzgerald and other
house leaders.
