To many Of our readers the streets

John T. Bowers, Frederick st.,
Taneytown, Nd, says: My work
requires me to sit in a stopped posi-
ton most of the time, and i believe
that was the cause Of my kidney COM
plant. a constant, dull, drag
ging pain across my kidneys
caused me much misery. I suffered
from rheumatic pains and at times
was stiff and lame. The kidney Sc
cretions were also irregular in pas
sage and caused me much annoyance
and inconvenience. Doan's Kidney
Pills gave me almost immediate re
lief My kidneys were soon normal,
and I felt better in every way"

GERMAN PRESS AT ODDS
 ON SUBMARINE WARFARE

Berlin, June 22-The Nordeusche A1lgeneine ze1tung today publishes the following:
 'In the Dettsche Tages zeitung al- most daily for some time an impas- stoned campaign has been carried on in which, more or less openly, the readers eyes were to be opened to al legged dangers said to be threatening Germans in general and the energetic conduct of the war against England in particular, because of a feeble stand of the government in regard to the we'll known differences with America. regarding submarine warfare. ] '*On one side it is made to appear as if official circles, for the sake of peace with America, were consid ering giving up superiority in the subrna- rfne weapon. On the other side, one does not shrink from the folly of the assertion that increasing the number of our enemies by the United States would be a matter of utter unimpor- tanoe. In Mondays issue the Deutsche Tages zeitung rises to scarcely. con cealed ridicule of. the legal standpoint set forth in the German note to Amer lea, and to g personal attack on lead ing statesmen

between two enemy scouts and the main feet and accomplished by sudden attack what she never could have ac- eomplished by speed. She sank them within twenty minutes and returned without injury. It was thirteen inch guns against eight inch, and the story was as it always is. The inferior enc my ships went down like pasteboard under the fire of the turret guns on the American vessel.
 On the same day, almost at the same hour, the scout cruiser Birmingham, at the other end of the enemy line, sent report that the destroyer Bainbridge tiniest of the division, had driven her two eighteen-inch torpedoes home and sunk an armored cruiser that had fall en out of line to repair some unknown injury to it's machinery. The Bain- bridge did not tell it's own story. The little boat. and her men were blasted into nothing within ten minutes by a battle cruiser that had turned to pro tect her mate
 These disasters, that might have been appalling to a lesser sea power, left the great navy of the coalition un- shaken. Steadily, inperturbably, it kept on it's way.
 So there came the day when coasters and small craft sped wildly into the shelter of Boston and New York har- bors, into Long Island sound and into the Delaware and Chesapeake bays They had seen the enemy

Through the glass they seemed to be little perches of skeleton iron built in the deep ocean.

Public Parks Menace
 To Riddles, She Says

London, June 22-No place is more dangerous for an unattended child than a public park, said Miss Da1neI Dawson, one of the First police Wo- men to be enrolled in England, speak ing before the Womens Suffrage Con- stitutiona1 Society of London. Men of criminal tendencies haunt the parks and have been known to steal children and keep them in the cellars of old, demolished buildings in outlying dis tricts. In patro11ing parks and out lying districts women. police perform their most useful service. Women in uniform have also kept unru1y girls under control in the neighborhood of the military camps. At the present time, both Southampton and Hull are officially employing women police.

 There was not an inch of ocean within their lines that was not abIaze. A fragment of driftwood could not have hoated into that vivid sea with out being detected by a hundred eyes.
 But those steady, unshifting lights told the Conyngham the secret story of the hidden transports. Though the destroyer's men could not even have sighted the tops of their masts in the brightest light of day, they could count the fixed light beams, distant as they were.
 In the war and navy departments they made up estimates from the code report. When it was done the chief of staff nodded. ssOf course our in formation assured us that they would send at least 15O.o00 men. Now that we have an idea how many transports they've got, we are sure of it. And they are bringing vast munitions"
