The Liahtship.
From Golfers Weekly.

From Golfers Weekly.
The lightship is the most solitary of all
agents Of welldoing. Her offices are like
those Of the lighthouse, but she lacks
the one solid encouragement Of Mother
Earth. Instead. she Is merely linked to
the sea bottom, while round her swirls
the deadly element. In her whole aspect
there is something doleful, perhaps caused
by a sense of the littleness of man In his
warfare against nature. Even the coast
patrol on the beach, %endlessly tramping
his beat, has the relief of movement and
shifting environment. But the lightship
man is held to the same s~pot-reef or rip
or shoal. as 1t may be-day upon day and
night, upon night. 1t take real men to
live that life, raked and buffeted by gales,
with rarely the sight of a fresh newspa-
per or new face. There chess is the dissi-
patton. But such as these have at least
the consolation OF serving their fellow
voyagers who speed past them to see the
world, and to busy themselves in count
less ways. Meantime the lightship stays
where It is. AS for her crew. they only
stand and wait. Yet 1t is but another In
stance of the blind poets great truth, for
they also are serving.

That Cured Him.

You should have seen the way Wuf-
fles moaned over his petty ailments.
He was one of those chaps who were
always bewailing their ill state of
health, when all that is really the mat
ter with them is the need of a little
lecturing.
"Oh, my chest, doctor!" he walled
to his physician one evening. "My
lungs feel so compressed. Some peo-
pie tell me to inhale sulphur fumes.
Others recommend a seaside holiday.
What would you advice me to do?"
"Try fresh air." said the doctor
shortly. Five dollars, please"

syrup OF FIGS FOR
A CH|[D'S BOWELS
It is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physic into a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the adose" mother insisted
on - castor oil, calomel. ~cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides' are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs" Its
action is positive. but gentle. Millions
Of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that it fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach. and that a teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor'
row.
Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle
of California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on each bottle. Adv.

Winter Chills Bring Kidney Ills

A spell of cold, damp weather is
always followed by a fine crop of kid
ney troubles and backache.
Colds and chills damage the kid
neys. Other troubles common to win
ter weather are just as bad. Grip, ton
%silitis, quinsy, pneumonia or any other
infectious disease hurts the kidneys
by overlooking the blood with pojsons.
The kidneys get worn, weak and in
famed trying to work it off.
1t isn't hard to strengthen weak
kidneys though, if you act quickly.
At the first sign Of backache, dizzy
spells, headaches, loss of weight, nerv-
BUSINESS, depression and painful, irreg-
ular kidney action, start using Doan's
Kidney Pills. Rest the kidneys by
simple eating, avoidance of overwork
and worry, and getting more rest and
sleep. A milk diet Is fine.
This sensible treatment should
bring quick benefit and prevent seri-
GUS kidney diseases like dropsy,
gravel and Bright's disease.

Had to Giue Up
South Dakota Man Helpless
With Pain

W. R. Smart, tailor, Belle Fourche. S. D.,
says: kidney complaint and rheumatism
came on me very suddenly and caused me no
end of suffering. I think the nature of my
work was partly the cause, sitting with my
feet cramped up for hours at a time with
no exercise, whatever. I kept getting worse
every day and finally I had to give up my
work. I couldn't move about myself and
had to be lifted into the rig. I got to be
perfectly helpless with rheumatism In my
legs. I had never taken any medicine in
my life until someone persuaded me to try
Doan's Kidney Pills. I took them as d.
rected and quickly got relief. They acted
like magic in driving away the pain in my
back and soon the rheumatism left me en-
ttrely. 4 have never had a sign of the FORM
er trouble since, and that was over four
years ago.

From the kansas CITY Star.

public owns.
All the public utilities, except water,
telephones. gas. electric lighting. etc.-prs-

The question has been asked, why
doesn't the public TAX the profits from
the profitable utilities to pay the expenses
of the expensive utilities?
The private profit takers answer that
to take care of Improbable enterprises, it
is thoroughly incompetent to, take care Of
profitable enterprises.
Does that answer meet all the require

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up a Mixture Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get a large bottle Of the famous
old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it 81 naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time, by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy

passage to this country OF ships loaded
at Rotterdam with Belgian products. ac-
cording TO a message today from Consul
General Skinner at London. Belgian

The London government holds ship

goods of German origin. insofar as the
British order-in-counciI is concerned. TAX
ing the position that so long as Belgian
territory is dominated by Germany It Is
practically German territory. Great
Britain fears exemption OF Belgium prod

Belgian goods recently. the action caus-

Gompers Advises
The Laboring Men
To Avoid Strikes

MERIDIAN. Conn. Aug. L-while in
sisting that the right of the wctkingman
TO strike is OF paramount Importance.
Samuel Gompers. president OF the Ameri-
can Federation OF Labor, in a speech here
today advised tho laboring man to avoid
strikes and TO remember that employers
have some rights" lie also referred TO
the effect OF the European war on Ameri-
can labor conditions and expressed the
opinoin that the Eastland disaster might
have been the act of God 10 defeat the
out cry against the seamens act.
Referring TO labor conditions. Mr..
Gompers said:
Men must learn that employers have
some rights. II you will investigate. you
will find that strikes oftener are caused
by unOrganized or recently organized
labor. In the latter case the workers
suddenly think themselves all powerful
and imagine employers have no rights.
Avoid strikes. The right to strike is OF
paramount Importance. not the exercise
OF that right.
"of the effect OF European war con-
ditions on American labor, Mr.. Gompers
said;
"The great European conflagration,
may result In good II II crushes out the
spirit OF militarism. and in it's place Of
fers the spirit OF humanity. In this
country when the war Is over thousands
OF workers will be thrown out OF EN-
ployment. because OF the cutting Off OF
the present artificial market for the
necessities of life as we'll as for the Inn
plements OF war Labor organizations
should prepare for this condition"
