The Mistake is Made by Many Belfast
Citizens,

Look for the cause of the backache.
To be cured you must know the cause.
If it's weak kidneys you must set the kid
neys working right.
A Belfast resident tells you how.
Mrs. z. A. Cornell of Belfast says: II was
taken down with complication of diseases
and when l recovered. l had very serious
of kidney trouble. For over year was
not able to do any work at all and was help
less. l suffered terribly from my back and kid
neys. The kidney secretions were unnatural
and irregular in passage. l doctored for the
trouble, but the relief I received was only
temporary. l finally commenced using Doan's

to the cost per mile per year for upkeep
of different classes OF roads. The result has
been requests from number of organize
tions ard counties that the office take up
the maintenance of their roads so as to de-
monstrate to the people of the communi-
ty the ultimate necessity of saving their
road money by preserving the improved
roads, once they are obtained. The de-
monstration work so far done along this
line has been accompanied by an unex-
pected degree of success.
It's to be hoped that the field represen-
tatives of the department, in discussing
the various office methods of assistance
as outlined above, will make clear to
local authorities that the Office can not
furnish financial aid in any way but is
only empowered by Congress to furnish
advisory aid through it's engineer, chem
lists and economists.

CHINESE EGGS STILL COME.

WASHINGTON, July 81, 1915. That the
Pacific Coast continues to be flooded
with all sorts and conditions of Chinese
eggs is shown by the report OF vice. con-
sui Barrett of Shanghai to the depart
ment of commerce. The total egg ship
ments from Shanghai alone. during the
fiscal year 1914 was 100000 dozen,
which were landed on our western sea-
board, and yet the exports from China
OF hen-fruit were considerably curtailed
by the withdrawal of many merchant
vessels from service due to the war in
Europe. The majority of the shipments
are made via the northern route to Seat
Tile, as this obviates the necessity of re-
frlgeration during the colder months.
Mr.. Barrett says the socalled egg or
chicken farm does not exist in China on
an extensive scale. Egg raising is an
incidental matter just now. The chickens
are fed principally on rice, and the daily
wage of Chinese farmhanA is 10 cents.
Inc Chinese farmer sells his eggs at
"a 90 thousand, and the cost of Grating,
packing, insurance and freight, are borne
by the exporter. Mr.. Barrett makes
this significant statement in his repor :
1T Is only since the new tariff of 1913
became effective that the shipments to
the United States have reached notice
able proportions"

An open Letter.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: In
the perplexity and strife of these days,
when nearly all of our old Europe is in
turmoil, it was like breath of refresh.
full air to read your kind editorial in the
issue of May 9th last.
Please accept my grateful apprecia-
ton.
Little Switzerland is doing all 1t can
for the relief Of war sufferers every
where.
You would be much interested in the
really splendid work being done in this
neutral country. The people participate
directly in the aid administered, as all
the poor. unhappy refugees" passing
through Lausanne could testify.
You say you would not be surprised to
hear had engaged in Red Cross work.
Such is not the case. Not quite. But
am working heart and soul for the Blue
Cross, which cares for the army horses
and dogs wounded and abandoned on the
battlefeIds of Europe. in this truly aw-
full war.
One cannot fail to feel for them, TAX
ing as they do, their share of the horrors
without having any of the responsibility
for the war itself. Innocent victims in
deed, all of them! One cannot have too
great solicitude on behalf of these suf-
fering dumb creatures.
The Blue Cross was created by "Our
Dumb Friends League" in London,
and was the first society to give aid to
war horses during the Balkan war in
1912.
Tie Blue Cross provides bandages,
veterinary supplies. wither pads, hu-
name killers, and all possible aid to
wounded or dying animals at the front.
1t is noble work. 1t has several horse
ambulances and field hospitals fully
equipped, and an able crops OF trained
assistants, many women among them.
They tell me the animals particularly
enjoy the gentle care of these latter,
and recover more quickly under their
ministrations.
My especial activity is to ''make
Bread" in other words to collect funds
for this humane enterprise. Donations
are urgently requested for the duration
of the war, and may be sent direct to
Arthur J. Coke, So Victoria street, Lon
don, S. w., England. Any desired in
formation will be gladly furnished from
the headquarters there.
My address in Paris will always reach
me promptly, though my anchor hold
during the war is Hotel de Pare, Lau-
same, Switzerland.
The Republican Journal reaches me
regularly and is like the tonic of the
pines in our dear old Maine woods. /
should feel simply lost without its week.
ly visit!
Count, dear Mr.. Pilsbury, on my re-
membering and wishing you ''every
good and perfect thing" always, even if
silent.

BE CONTENT.

In this world of grind and struggle,
Full of trouble and of woe.
We are apt to sit and grumble,
And wonder why it's SO.
We reflect upon the sorrows
That have come SO thick and fast,
But forget to garner sunshine
After the storm is past.
And we wonder why our neighbors
Can afford to make show,
While we dig and toll and hustle
And try to make things grow.
The poor hardworking farmer
Is struggling for wealth.
While the gentleman with money
Goes huntingdon his health.
The man who owns motor car
Is not content with that,
But leaves it for an aeroplane.
And goes flying like bat.
But when the thing gets out of gear.
And he falls to earth again.
He's content to run his motor
On the ground with other men.
So. say to you, dear reader
Be content with what you've got.
And don't sit down and grumble.
Whatever be your lot.
"Just count ) our many blessings"
They are all along the way;
And don't brood over trouble,
From dawn till close Of day.

Syracuse, n. Y, May 5.-Theodore
Roosevelt went back on the witness
stand in the Supreme Court here this
afternoon and for half an hour gal
yanized into new life the Barnes
Roosevelt libel trial by relating con
yersations he had with William
Barnes regarding boss rule and ma
chine government Gesticulating and
clicking his teeth, he told with gusto
how Barnes had preached the doc
trine of machine domination, and had
vaunted his distrust of the ability Of
the people to rule themselves. Much
of what he said was repetition, but
the Colonel slipped in new and charac
teristic phrases here and there To
add to the smudges he already had
given to his enemy.
The temperance of Mr.. Roose-
welt, allowed under the new ruling
of Justice William s. Andrews, that
he might tell OF conversations on sub
iects not mentioned in his pleadings
in order to show what effect they
might have had upon his mind at the
time he wrote the alleged libelous
article, came at the close of a da.
that had been spent by his counsel,
John NJ. Bowers, in driving home
testimony to show how closely
Barnes was connected with Albany

he had prohted by that connection.

amounting to thousands of dollars for

that Barnes exerted influence to get
