Back Is Discouraging
But Not So Bad If You Know How
To Reach The Cause

Nothing more discouraging than a
constant backache. Lame when you
awaken, pains pierce you when you
bend or lift. It's hard to work or to
rest. Backache often indicates bad
kidneys. Belding people recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills. Read this case:
Mrs. Hanson, 927 Alderman ST.,
Belding, says: "The first symptoms
of kidney trouble in my case was
pain in the small of my back. Then
the kidney secretions bothered me
and | had headaches and nervous
spells. One of my friends gave me
a box of Doan's Kidney Pills. They
soon relieved all the symptoms of
kidney trouble and / have been in
good health ever since"

simply ask for kidney remedy-get

ONLY THROUGH PROTECTION

The Seml-annual report OF the six
Association Of America is at hand.
Secretary Ramsay Peugnet notes the
return Of more satisfactory condi-
tions in the silk industry, and this
Improvement, he says, has not been
in any way brought about by the war
export orders. Referring to the
shortage of dyestuff supplies, the re-
port says:
American chemists and dyestuff es-
adjustments have been endeavoring
to cope with the great demand which
has thus arisen, and it seems prob
able that the war will give decided
stimulus to the manufacture of dye
stuffs in the United States, which, of
course, under normal conditions,
would need the protection of an ade-
quate tariff.
This is expert testimony which can
not be refuted. If the dyestuffs re-
quired by domestic industries are ever
going to be produced in the United
States it will only be when protection
is restored and made permanent.

The Safety at
Sea- Act.

ho''s ~ - = htN -
The charge eofinexcusable carl, So
ness in the enactment of an I'M
portant statute has again been
sustained against the Democratic
administration.
The error occurs in statute
directly affecting the safety of
human lives The Safety at Sea-
act. passed to promote the well
fare of American seamcn" and to
prevent II possible n rrpitition of
OF he Titanic" steamship dlsas-
ter with its appalling loss OF life
little over three years ago, iail-
ed to clearly fix the date it should
become effective. Two different
days were named for enforcement
one tour months later than the
other.
Section a of the act revises the
regulations regarding liieboats,
lite RATS, life belts and similar
equipment for preventing loss of
lie in case of accident aud
declares that the regulations
must be enforced and obeyed ION
and after July /, 1915, on steam.
ers navigating the ocean or any
lake, bay or sound OF the United
States"
Section Is of the same act con-
tains a squarely contradictory
provision declaring that this
act shall take effect, as To all YES
sells OF the United States. eight
months after its passage, etc.
Two conflicting opinions have
been rendered by legal officers of
the administration on this stat
ute. The solicitor of the Depart
ment ot Commerce hist found
July 1.1915, as the date Congress
intended the law to operate as to
American vessels. The Attorney
General reversed this opinion and
ruled that Congress intended
November 4. 1915, as the time
for enforcement.
When the Titanic" sank ard
carried so many hundreds to an
ocean grave, the world was
shocked to discover the inadeq-
uacy of laws the enforce mei.t of
which would have greatly rsduc-
ed the number offatalities. There
was q universal demand for the
immediate enactment OF better
laws to safeguard ocean travel.
1t is shocking now to find that
III the statute enacted in response
to this demand there is an error
that leaves in dodbt the time OF
its operation. and has made it
necessary for an individual ather
than Congress to deter mine when
the law shall be enforced.
A blunder OF this type is mon
umental. In all parliamentary
procedure it is elementary that a
definite date for the enforcement
OF law is practically as import
ant as the signature of the Pres
ident. Combined, the two con-
stitue the electric current which
permits the machinery of the law
| to be set III motion.
Many members of Congress and
| others familiar with the history
OF this safety at sea" act believ-
ed that 1t would go into effect
July /, and are surprised and dis
appointed that under the opinion
vi thS htsolHS Oebcldl IL VIII
not begin to operate till Nov.
after water season travel is over.
In most instances failure to
fix definitely the date a statute
shall be enforced involves only
financial considerations. But in
a law designed for the protection
OF humanity, lives are at stake
and the necessity for the hie
degree of care becomes imperative
