FAIR EXCHANGE
A New Back for an Old One-How q
Madison Resident Made a Bad
Back Strong.

The back aches at times with a
dull, indescribable feeling, making
you weary and restless; piercing
pains shoot acros sthe region of the
kidneys, and again the loins are so
lame that to stoop is agony. No use
to rub or apply a plaster to the back
if the kidneys are weak. You can
not reach the cause. Following the
example of this Madison citizen:
Mrs. G. Donovan, Madison, S. D.,
says: While I have had no kidney
trouble myself, l know Doan's Kid
ney Pills to be a good kidney remedy.
They have been used by one of my
family with very good results. The
one who took them had been suffer
ing very muhc with pains in the
back and head and complained of
dizzy spells. Since Doan's Kidney
Pills were used l have heard no
further complaint"

powers participated. This would only
include the expenses of conducting the
warfare and would not include the loss
sustained by relaxation in all busi.
ness and commercial life of the cont
nent.
The crisis is only an excuse for war
after twenty-five years of jealous ha-
tired between Austria and Servia. Ii is
a gigantic struggle between Slav and
Teuton. The two countries have irri-
tated each other for centuries. A war
between these two countries is surely
bloody and horrible. but nothing com
pared to the result of Germany and
Italy unfolding their alley. Austria,
and opposing Seryia's friends. France.
Russia and England.
1t is the triple. alliance against the
| triple entente. Russia, France and
England compose the triple entente.
| This has been in existence for several
| years. Likewise the principals of the
| triple alliance have been in existence
for years.
The tremendous increase of Russia
| saves the triple entente from being
overwhelmed in numbers by the triple
alliance. Germany alone has three
fourths as many inhabitants as Great
Britain and France together. and Aus
tria and Italy add roundly S6.0O0,0O0
to this number. The great population
of Russia. however. brings the total
strength of the triple entente to 253,-
100000 against 152. 0O0.0 00 for the tri-
pie alliance.
The assassination of Archduke Fran
els Ferdinand and his wife was the
spark that has kindled into flame the
long smoldering embers OF Austrian
and Servian hatred. Shocking as that
tragedy was ii a after all. but n
incident in a long chapter of political
reprisals which Austria has been quick
to seize as an opportunity TO vent the
hatred of years on the little neighbor-
ing state, whose a~ggreSsisns she can
no longer ignore and whose ,,retentions
she no longer dares to strlrn. With
this excuse Austria made demands
which Servia. by refusing. caused the
world to shudder at the thought Of all

Debate About Increasing
Clubs Membership Fees

Spirited debates regarding the sug-
gested increase in the membership
fee of the Maplewood Field Club
marked the annual meeting of the
Maplewood Field Club. Many of
those present favored increasing the
dues from $40 to $12 or SIS, while
there seemed to be just as many OPP
posed to the plan. No definite action
was taken on the proposition, how
ever 1t is probable that the dues
will remain the same for another
year at least.
