DO YOU SUFFER
FROM BACKACHE?

When your kidneys are weak and
torpid they do not properly perform
their functions; your back aches
and you do not feel like doing much
of anything. You are likely to be
respondent and to borrow trouble,
just as if you hadn't enough al
ready. Don't be victim any longer.
The old reliable medicine, Hood S
Sarsaparilla, gives strength and
tone to the kidneys and builds up
the whole system.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is a peculiar
combination of roots, barks and
herbs. No other medicine acts like
it. because no other medicine has the
same formula or ingredients. Accept
no substitute, but insist on having
Hoods, and get it today.

THE BELFAST FIRE DEPARTMENT

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: NAV be
allowed word in appreciation of Chief Shute
and the officers and men of the Belfast Fire
Department A majority of the taxpayers
may understand and give full vail to the In
tense interest and willingness to give of their
own time and comfort and strength as display
ed by the local body of volunteers; but it is
scarcely ever that full credit is given in such
cases as deserved. However, had there been a
different spirit-any lack of willingness to
risk limb and life in service of the city, last
Sundays fire would have had a vastly differ
ent ending. There was every chance for Sc
rious contiagration, and spectators were pos
sessed of grave doubts as the situation pre-
scented itself within minute of the sounding
of the alarm. Many volunteer departments
would have fallen fiat and helpless in the face
Of such menace. And the men met the
emergency, only because they are intensely
interested in this work and keep in trim for it
all the time, day and night, week in and week
out. Ihey are deserving of the hearty and
wide support of every citizen who has the in
terests of the city at heart. They should be
given the tools they desire to work with. Sun
days fire was handled not only with great
spirit, but with scientific skill that is unus-
ual in city of this size. With its fimsy and
careless construction Belfast is an ideal COR
migration hazard; and some day it is probable
that it will again suffer as it has in the past.
Meantime we should be grateful that we have
the security of such an unselfish and devoted
lot of volunteers.
Respectfully yours,
HARDEN S. PEARL

The European war news may be briefly
told. On the eastern and western fronts
there are no important movements; at
the Dardanelles beseiged and beseigers
alike are suffering from the inclement
weather; Germany is evidently beginning
to feel shortage in the food supply; the
Allies have been driven out of Serbia
with heavy losses of men and munitions
and the Bulgarians are within few
miles of the Greek frontier. The Allies
hope to maintain footing in Greece and
will defer the attempt to free Serbia I'M
til next spring. The expected aid from
Italy and from Russia has not material
lied. Unless some unexpected and I'M
likely happening brings about peace what
may be the decisive battles of the war
will be fought next spring.

ATWATER TO STAY IN JAIL.
Judge HouEh Refuses Mercy to
Confessed BOastfuI Aviator.

Judge Charles NJ. Hough OF the
United States District Court refused
yesterday to release william b. At
water from Ludlow street Jail, where
the aviator husband of Senator Platt's
widow has beer confined since Sep
tember 1 for refusing to turn over
$1,000 to his creditors in bankruptcy.
Atwater's attorney. Edgar Armstrong
Hamilton, pleaded with the Judge that
his client had no money and WAS now
suffering the effects OF his exaggerated
boasts" concerning the amount Of
money ne had made on his round the
world flying trip in 1912. Atwater, he
said, had really lost $4,000 on the
trip, but had given the impression that
he had made $50. 900 or more. Judge
Hough was unmoved by the appeal.
Since his confinement in Ludlow
street Jail Atwater is said to have re-
ceived an offer from the Russian Gov
m to Join the Russian aviation
corps at a salary OF 1000 a month.
A similar offer involving a salary of
5000 a month Is said TO have come to
him from villa. Even If he were at
liberty 1t Is not likely hat Atwater
would accept either OF these offers, as
hard up as he Is. for according to his
testimony he gave up aviation at the
request OF his wife, who feared for his
safety.
