OH! MY BACK
The Expression of Many a Kidney
Sufferer

A stubborn backache is cause tt
suspect kidney trouble. When the kid
news are inflamed and swollen, stoop'
ing brings sharp twinge in the
small of the back that almost takes
the breath away. Doan's Kidney Pills
revive sluggish kdneys-relieve ach
ing backs. Here's convincing proof
of merit.
Peter Larson, blacksmith, Osakis
Mimi, says:
"I have used Doan's Kidney
Pills at different times, when
have been suffering from lame
and aching back and pains
through my loins. They have al
ways given me fine relief, fixing
my kidneys up in good shape.
advise anyone who has lame
back or any other symtom Of
kidney trouble to take Doan's
Kidney Pills" .

operation with them. We propose

operation with them. We propose
to give the boys military training
during the school year and in the
summer to take them to military
camps, established under the con-
troll of the army authorities, for
the two months of school vaca-
tion.
"Our boys will buy their own
uniforms and equipment. What
we want the government to do is
to maintain the camps. Our ar
gument is that the maintenance
of these camps should be proper
ly placed in the national govern
ment, as many Of the state gov
ernments would feel unable finan-
cially to carry them on or would
be Indifferent. We know already
that the governor of Michigan will
oppose the plan. The governors
of some 10 or more states have
already enrolled themselves as
state chairmen of our organiza-
tion and as members of our gen.
eral advisory committee.
Enlistment IN our United
States army of defense will be
voluntary, but we propose to
make it so attractive that we will
have no difficulty in getting re-
cruits. At the end of five years
we could turn over an army of
100000 young men practically
ready to take the field"
Congressman Anderson is gratifie'
% have the support of the Nationa
association, but he believes, and tn
Herald agrees with him, that the en-
ire matter should be in the hands O.
he government. He says:
"While the school camp associ-
alton proposes to have the stu
dents provide their own uniforms
and equipment" he said, "I be-
lieve it would be better to have
the federal government take the
whole matter in charge, furnish
uniforms, equipment and camps,
and to me tain the latter. Mr..
Long estimates that it will cost
the government about $10,0O0,000
to maintain the camps, but l be-
lieve it would be better to in
crease that amount by $15,000,-
900 and make it possible for all
male pupils who are physically
able to have the benefit of this
valuable training.
"The plan is entirely practic-
able. This has been shown by
the success of the student train
ing camps that have been main
tanned by the government during
the past two or three years. Let
the college student camps be de-
veloped and extended to include
the grammar school and high
school students, and the govern
ment will have more than 1,000,-
900 young, trained men available
for service if they are needed"
Quite naturally the Herald is graf
fled to have it's suggestion taken il
land by National associations and tn
Federal governmental. M. W.

a special fee for livery vehicles and
these in the future will be ciassed with
