the Truth.

After reading this generous and en-
couraging report from Mr.. Bland those
who have the misfortune to suffer, as
he did, will naturally long to get SINH
lar relief. But to get the same good
as Mr.. Bland had, you should get the
same remedy. There are of course,
other kidney pills but there are no
other kidney pills the same al Doan's.
That is why Keokuk people demand
the genuine.
William Bland, $40 Main St, Keo-

lame and when l heard that Deans
Kidney Pills were effective in curing
that trouble, I got supply at Wilkin'
son & Co.'S Drug Store. They reliev-
ed ME promptly and although I had
tried other remedies without success,

that a German seventeen inch shell
had burst there. The residents OF
that town had flown, after exper1enc.
ing all the terrors and the heart
straining that came to the people OF
| the little town we had visited in the
morning.
"There goes Jack Johnson into
Ypres,' said the financier.
We saw the back flash of German
seventeen inch shell break the ciotn
hall tower. Wherever we looked IN
the half circle of Flanders, that
spread before us, shells were Nreak-
, ing. We picked out fires. We count
ed six great clusters Of smoke ATOMS
a stretch of fourteen miles. Inese
were not houses, but villages burning.
Far away we could see an intense
conflagration; black smoke suddenly
burst through the yellow. A great als.
tillery, to which the farmers for miles
around, had brought their grain 1or
many years, was burning.
THAT black smoke means that the
alcohol tanks exploded" SAID the
doctor. That great distiAery fire ana
the burning villages were also only
dots on the huge panorama. Into our
foreground flew British aeroplane,
man shrapnel smoke, arranged as
regularly in the sky as if they we're
Chinese lanterns strung on slop1ng
wire.
Il wonder what julius Caesar or
Napoleon would have thought OF this
battle" said the doctor, quietly.
With our glasses we could make out
two miles away, green farm; DOT
dered by wood. At the edge OF the
wood, ran the German trenches, ap'
pearing from our coign of vantage
like a strip of sand. Another strip
of sand ran through the middle OF
the farm; they were the Engllsn
trenches. They were only two snort
strips of the great line OF $50 mikes.
More than once when we tore our
gaze from other spots and watched
these trenches, we saw the burst OF
shrapnel over them.
The roar of the British guns which
answered the German trench tre was
at times, almost deafening. In the
midst of all this tumult was system
and order, for war is the most syste-
matte and scientifically arranged al

The Call of the Wheat Fields.

Chicago Herald: The wheat harv-
est will begin in northern Texas and
Oklahoma in two weeks or less. The

men to help them garner the grain.
According to reports tabulated at
Washington, Oklahoma will need
about $4,000 men; Kansas, 10000;
Missouri and Iowa, 10000 each; Ne
Ibraska, 5000, and Minnesota and
South Dakota about 10000 each.
1t is probably somewhat misleading
ito sum these requirements, as some
correspondents and commentators do,

CHICAGO, June S.-A general rush
of selling at today's opening, because
of the rather sensational declines OF
outside wheat yesterday, caused a
sharp drop in prices. When the mar
ket opened after the Sunday and Mon
day election day holiday. prices were
Az and ) cents below Saturdays
close. Under free profit taking pur-
csases, by shorts, the market soon
rallied and at one time later was up
2h and PA above the opening.
Corn was down with wheat. Prices
we're sharply lower at the opening,
but later showed an advance over
initial figures.
Oats also reflected the bearishness
caused by lower outside markets
which in turn We're caused by the
peace rumors. Prices were lower.
Provisions opened inactive, but
fairly steady at Saturdays close.
Later, there was considerable selling
and prices declined.
