Men and women having baekache,
rheumatism, stiff and swollen joints
are honestly glad to know that Foley
Kidney Pills are successful every
where in driving out these ills. That
is because Foley Kidney Pills are a
true medicine and quickly effective in
all diseases that result from weak in
active kidneys and urinary irregular
ties. B. 3. Davis

ODD WAR BITS

London. - John Mackenzie, an
American, reaching here from Brus-
sells, said German officers in paying
for meals in restaurants tossed gold
coins across the counter, with the
remark: 1--WE will get the change on
our way back from Paris"
The Hague.-A friend of Roland
Garros on Dutch paper says he has
learned definitely that the noted avia-
tor is alive and well. This discounts
the story of Garros' sacrificing his
life by driving his aeroplane into
Zeppelin and wrecking it.
Paris.-DriVen from cover by con-
slant firing, wild hogs are oVerrun-
ming districts in eastern and central
France and destroying crops.

Whereupon the two cronies, each
with sons and granGsons in the
trenches facing German shrapnel,
bullets, shell and bayonets, if not al
ready dead on the field of battle,
laugh softly but heartily and sip their
syrup.
Paris keeps her temper and her
gaiety, but she is vastly different
from the Paris Americans know. The
only way of getting about is by taxi
cab or horse cab, the famous auto
buses having disappeared the first
day of mobilization. Bicycles are at
a premium and many gray-haired
American may be seen pumping
through the streets.
Theaters have been closed. Many
of them have been offered to the gov
eminent for whatever use they may
be put to, while the Jardin de Paris,
known to most Americans, has be-
come nursery for the babies of wo-
men compelled to get out and earn
their living during che day.
The Grand Palais, just off the
Champs Elysee, where the great art
exhibitions take place annually as
well as the horse show, automobile
show and aviation exhibition, is used
as a "hotel" to house soldiers as they
pass through Paris on their way to
the front.

SPITE OF THE WAR
BY William Philip Simms,
United Press Staff Correspondent.
Paris, Aug. IL (By Mail to New
York Gay Paree! Never has the
French capital so well deserved her
reputation as now. The Paris of
wartimes is surely not the Paris of
peace times, but Paris just the same
and more happy-go-lucky than ever.
The people left behind here are
smiling. Tables and chairs on the
sidewalks, the Frenchiest of French
institutions, have been abolished in
conformity with the state. of siege,
but inside the restaurants and cafes
the merry throng continues to sit and
sip it's favorite drink-usually a
soft one, and swap funny stories.
A Marian dropping to earth at this
particular spot would never guess
that there isn't home in France
without it's soldier at the front, for
these people simply refuse to sit.
about and brood.
Alphonse is 60 years old and is
consequently too old to go to the war.
His pal is the same age and the ser
vices he has volunteered have been
refused.
my son." says CASTOR, who is
quite rich, writes me he is having a
hot time at the front"
Indeed, and what is he doing?".
his cronie asks.
Hes the company's cook" re-
piled CASTOR, laughing over his joke.
His son is a social lion and he can
picture him playing kitchen mechanic
near the firing line,
Gaston's joke is a good one, but
his companion chuckles in way that
indicates he has one, too.
what do you thinz," he finally
says, you know Jean, the butcher?
He has joined the colprs."

Reasons In Favor Of Fifteenth
Amendment

Reasons In Favor Of Fifteenth
Amendment
The cause OF woman suffrage has
no more distinguished champion llv
ing today than Miss Anna Howard
Shaw. who has been for ten years
President OF the National American
Woman's Suffrage Association. I'm
like a great many women whose
names have become prominently con
nected with the movement merely be
cause of their wealth, their social
standing or their sensational methods
Miss Shaw can show on her own be
half 4 most interesting record of ex.
oellent work in more than one ilelG,
record OF such a character that her,
opinions derive an unrivalled impor-
lance as well from her demonstrated
practical efficiency as from her high
intellectual qualities.
Born in the dismal town OF New
castle-on-Tyne, England. Miss Shaw
was brought TO this country by her
parents at the age OF four. In 1878
she graduated from the Theological
Department of Boston University and
seven years later as doctor OF
medicine from its medical school.
She was pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal church at bingham. Mass.
during 1873, and at East Dennis,
Mass. for the following seven years.
In 1850 she was ordained, being the
first woman to enter the ministry OF
the Protestant church Upon resign
ing her pastorate in 1886 she was APP
pointed lecturer for the Massachu-
sets Womans Suffrage Association.
From 1856 to 1892 she occupied the
