CRYING FOR HELP
Lots Of 1t in Maysville But Daily
. Growing Less.

The kidneys often cry for help.
Not another organ ia the whole body
more delicately constructed.
Not one more important to health.
The kidneys are the filters of the
blood.
When they fail the blood becomes
foul and poisonous.
There can be no health where there
is poisoned blood.
Bac kache is one of the frequent in
dicatons of kidney trouble.
1t is often the kidneys cry for help
Heed it.
Read what Doan s Kidney Pills have
done for overworked kidneys.
Read what Doan's have done for
Maysville people.
Lang Stevens, Maysville, KY, says:
"My kidneys were out of Order and l
had backache, which extended into my
kidneys. The kidney action was irreg-
ular. Doan's Kidney Pills had been
used in my family, so l gave them a
trial. They helped me greatly"
Mr.. Stevens is only one of many
Maysville people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your
back aches--lf your kidneys bother
you, don t simply ask for a kidney rem
edy-ask distinctly for Doan s Kid
ney Pills, the same that Mr.. Stevens
had-the remedy backed by home testi-

STOPPING GOLD EXPORTS.

The moratoriums declared by England and
France and the suspension of specie payments over
the greater part of Europe will go far to relieve
the immediate pressure for gold.
BY postponing the foreign settlements for a
month those who need money to pay debts will have
considerable respite, while the knowledge that
paper and not specie will be given in answer to
demands will stop the boarding by private individ-
uals which was mainly responsible for last week s
wild scramble for the precious metal. This with
the scarcity of neutral vessel and the shutting
off of Stock Exchange facilities for the conversion
of securities into cash, will work automatically to
block the outward gold movement
Nevertheless, the enormous war needs will have
to be provided for and the foreign banks will have
to repair the heavy drain to which their reserves
have been subjected 1t was imperative, therefore,
for the foreign exchange representatives in this
country to pledge themselves to restrict gold ship.

FARM FACTS.

(By Peter Radford, National Lee

Operative Union of America)
Those who till the soil are the chose,
people of God.
Farming is as old as the human rae,
and is yet in its infancy.
Success is bound to come to the far
mer who plans while he plows.
No civilization has ever advanced be-
yond its agricultural development.
No farmer is successful who think
more Of his barn than he does of b.
homo.
The development of the farmer him
self must precedc the full development
of the ground he tills.
The most beautiful fact in the fl,
mer's work is that everything b.,
plants is a lesson in faith
The best farmer does not bottle
about getting ahead of his neighbor
his great business is to get ahead OF
himself.
We must give the people who live O,
the farm the same educational advaGt
ages for their children as those of ia.
cities enjoy.
The country clergy is an agency u
much potentiality because the mru
life movement is religious as well o..
industrial and social
There should be a social and an IT,
dustral survey of every community.
The pastor, the teacher and the school
and church officials are they who shoulI
make such survey.
In a recent survey of commuuir
in New England, the average anuda
income of l5i farmers who has a cou
ron school education was 500. whl1
the average net income of l22 farm,.
of the same locality with a high schou
education was $3.50 annually This W.

THE REAL REASON FOR THE BIG WAR.

From various European countries come reports
to the effect that in the face of the horrifying men
of general war internal quarrels of those
countries have been forgotten or hastily compro-
missed and dropped as needing no further consider
alton. Thus Britain thinks it sees way to bring
about reasonably satisfactory agreement to end
the Irish disturbance; Russia has paced its hordes
of strikers and has healed other serious dissensons
and the quarres of political factions in France have
sunk in silence. None of these things really mat

nominee for the United States Senate.
last night.
One meeting in the Ware district was
particularly large. In Simon Hall, 18th
street and Passyunk avenue, the crowd
demanded to know something about Ted
dy' Roosevelt. Mr.. Pinchot replied that
Colonel Roosevelt had completed re-
markable tour OF Pennsylvania and that
he was still the most popular man be-
fore the people OF the State.
Pinchot declared himself real pro-
tectionist. He said: "Penross asks the
votes of tho people OF the State because
he processes to be a Republican. But
he has proved that no man deserves the
title of traitor more than he does. He
earned the title in 1912, and he has not
dared to answer the charges Of debauch-
cry brought against him."
In his fve meetings in South and North
east Philadelphia Mr. Pinchot declared
himself as an advocate of the workman's
compensation law, and added that the
paramount issue in Pennsylvania was the
obliteration OF Penrose, who has proved
himself only a protector OF corporate in-
terests.

Brumbaugh Gets One of
Greatest Ovations of Cam

phia-Invitation to Senator
Was Withdrawn.

South Philadelphia, the stronghold of
the wares, last night showed the knife
that It Is holding for Senator Penrose.
That strongest of Republican sections of
philadelphia turned out in force and
cordially welcomed DR.. Martin q. Brum-
baueh and the other Republican candi-
dates-mtnus the senior Senator.
Psnrose, who two weeks ago had been
advertised as the principal speaker, was
conspicuousiy absent. The invitation had
bean withdrawn. and HIS name was never
mentioned by any Of the speakers
The rally was one Of the ereateat ova-
tons Doctor Brumbaugh has received
during the campaign, but was q plain re-
bun to Penrose. II showed the solid
backing that South Philadelphia viii give
the Republican candidate for Governor at
the polls next Tuesday, and 1t Just as
surely showed that Senator Penrone will
receive a small part of that backing.
Two weeks ago the name OF the senior
Senator still headed the list Of speakers
for last nights rally that appeared in
the advertisements displayed all over the
Ware section Of the city. Penroso's name
was withdrawn from the program after
william s. Ware. on the floor Of Con-
Rress, demanded that Senator Penrose
retract the debauohery charges against
Representative Ware. imputed to PEN
rose by the North American. The in
VltRtion to speak was later withdrawn

long before the rally opened. When Doc
tor Brumbaugh, the head Of tho ticket" I"
az the Wares now call him, although PEN
rose, as nominee for Senator, 1 sreally
the tickets head, arrived. moro than 1000
men stood In the street outside, unable
to get into the building, and made greater
the personal ovation that was accorded
the Republican gubernatorial candidate.
Doctor Brumbaugh was unable to make
his way TO the doors until no had spoken
a few words to the crowd outside, and
the same ovation greeted him whom no
emerged after the meeting.
When he stepped upon the stage the
house went wild, and he was interrupted
by prolonged cheering three times before
he was permitted to start to talk.
Doctor Brumbaugh. clearly and plainly,
told how he stands on political questions,
untrammeled by bosses; and then he re-
piled to Colonel Roosevelt's attack upon
him. He told OF Colonel Rosevelt's
course in seeking the nomination for
Governor in New York. when, under the
gulse OF a reformer. he consulted Sem
ator Platt, the machine "boss' in that
