Backache Makes Anyone Feel Old

Nothing ages anyone more quickly than
weak kidneys.
1t is not alone the aching back, the stiff,
painful joints, but the evil effect of bad,
poisoned blood on the nerves, the vital
organs and the digestion.
The condition of the kidneys makes good
health or illhealth.
The kidneys are the filters of the blood.
Active kidneys filter from the blood ev-
cry day over one ounce of poisonous waste
and pass it off dissolved in the urine.
If the kidneys are weak or diseased, only
part of this tiltering Is done and the blood
is heavy with uric acid and other poison
Gus or waste matter.
Instead of being nourshed by the
blood, the nerves and vital organs are ir-
ritated and the circulation, digestion, etc.
are disturbed.
If your back aches constantly, if your
joints are stiff, lame and painful, suspect
the kidneys
Kidney sufferers are likely to feel dull,
heavy, restless at night, rheumatic, dizzy
at times subject to headaches and an
noyed with sharp, piercing pains that
make work an agony and rest impossible.
Doan's Kidney Pills are the best st-recom-
mended and most widely used remedy for
weak or diseased kidneys. They act quick
ly; contain no poisonous nor habit-form
ing drugs and leave no bad after-affects
of any kind-just make you feel better all
over

SHORT ON BROTHERLY LOVE
Luckily William Had Grace Enough
to Remember That Henry
Was Sacred.

William was not kind to his small
brother Henry; in fact, he looked
upon him as a nuisance, a scourge
sent from heaven to try his spirit and
spoil his fun. Especially that day was
Henry thorn in the older boys flesh.
In his efforts to rid himself of his
burden, William resorted to all the
methods the mind of youth suggested,
but in vain. Henry continued to stick
as close, if not closer, than a brother.
William finally said the boys
father who had witnessed, unheard,
the final paroxysm of the unequal
struggle, you should be ashamed of
yourself to treat your little brother in
that way! He ought to be sacred to
you"
William made no reply; but short
ly afterward, believing himself to be
free of surveillance, he was heard to
address Henry thus: Always taggin'
after me! If you weren't sacred I'd
break your blamed face for you'll

DYNAMITE PLOTTERS RECEIVE SENTENCES
Thirty-Three Men Are Given Prison
Terms-Six Under Suspended Sen-

Indianapolis, nd.-Imprisonment in
the federal penitentiary at Leayen-
worth, Kan, Monday was imposed as
punishment upon thirty-three labor
union officials, convicted of having
engaged in the destruction of prop
erty by dynamite over an area ex-
tending from Boston to Los Angeles.
Frank NJ. Ryan, president of the
Iron Workers International Union,
whose strike was given as the motive
for promoting the dynamite plots, was
sentenced to seven years imprison-
ment, the heaviest punishment of all.
Of the thirty-three men convicted as
conspirators and aiders in the Nc
Namara dynamiting schemes, eight
other men affiliated with Ryan were
given prison terms of six years each.
Two men each were given four
years, twelve men each were given
three years, four men each were given
two years, six men each were given
one year and one day, and six men.

TURKS SHOW HAND IN PEACE CONFERENCE
The Ottoman Scheme Is to Emerus
From War With Best Face
for the Nation.

London.-After a fortnight of spar-
ring and feinting Turkey has finally
shown her hand in the peace confer
ence. Mediation by the great powers
is the Ottoman scheme for emerging
from the war with "the best face" for
the nation and for the plenipoten-
taries, which the situation will per
nit
The Turkish delegates proposed this
solution in guarded terms at Mon
days session. The meeting was brief
and more strained than any which
preceded it and the Turkish tactics
were characteristic.
The delegation had received fresh
instructions from the porte, Rechad
Pasha announced, but part of the tele-
gram was undecipherable and must be
repeated to ConstantinopIe for trans
lation. Then Rechad Pasha came to
the point to which the Ottomans had
been leading up since the beginning
in the opinion of their opponents. He
declared he was able to state that
most of the questions under discus
sion should be referred to the pow
ers. The difficulty between Bulgaria
and Turkey was an exception that
was matter, he said, for direct set
tlement between the two govern
ments.
Then the Turkish delegates attempt
ed to discuss the questions at issue
informally, but the allies insisted that
they should put their propositions in
writing, which, after a conference.
the Turks said they were not prepared
to do.
Mediation has two advantages from
the Turkish viewpoint. First, the
tendency of such an arrangement is
always in the direction of a compro-
mise. In the second place, mediation
would save the Turkish prestige in
the eyes of the people by making it
appear that Turkey comedies the sac
rifiCes, which she inevitably must
make, to the pressure of all Europe
instead of at the dictation of the here
tofore despised Balkan states.
