Importance or Healthy Kidneys.
Shepherdstown Readers Should Learn
to Keep the kidneys Well.

The kidneys have big wo-k to do.
All the blood in the body is coursing
through the kidneys constantly to be freed
OF poisonous matter. 1t heavy enough
task when the kidneys are well, buta cold.
chill, fever or some thoughtless exposure
is likely to irritate, inflame and congeSt
the kidneys and interrupt the purifying
work.
Then the aching frequently begins and
is often accompanied by some irregularity
of the urine-too frequent passages,
sediment or retention. Thousands testify
TO the wonderful merit OF Doan's Kidney
Pills, remedy for the kidneys only, that
has been used in kidney troubles so years.
You will make no mistake in following
this Shepherdstown citizens advice;
E. E. Hertle. commission merchant,
Princess ST., -Shepherdstown, says: My
kidneys were weak and my back was
lame. Doan's Kidney Pills removed the
trouble. | still use Doan'S Kidney Pills
when feel in need of kidney medicine
and they never fail TO give me relief"
Price SOC, at all dealers. Don't simply
ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's
Kidney PiIls-the same that Mr.. Hertle

1T looks TO us as if there are good
many Germans and AuStrians in the
United States who should be required TO
bid Uncle Sam long farewell. They
are so utterly unappreciative OF the privi-
leges and blessings they enjoy here that
they should be made TO observe them
from a good, long distance. Leniency
with treacherous and mischievous aliens
is a mistake. For instance, what would
Germany or Austria do if an American
should be caught with the goods on him
as DR.. Dumba, the Austrian ambassador
here, has been?

FROM IFS very beginning the State fair
at Wheeling was run as an adjunct OF the
breweries OF that city, its stock being
owned by the brewers and IFS manage
mentabsolutely controlled by them. The
one thing for which the fair became noted
during its history was that its bar over
which beer and other liquors were dis
pensed was the largest in the world.
When West Virginia went "dry" il was
taken for granted that the fair would not
live, and with the support OF the brewers
lost no one else seemed interested in its
fate. Yet, the fair has survived and open
ed on Monday with brighter prospects
than ever before. The lntelligencer de-
clares that "it is, without question, the
most inviting exhibition ever arranged,
with all things new and "wholeSomely
attractive" The people generally are
interested and the fair is what fair ought
to be.
We are not surprised at this result.
People are usually decent at heart, and
when they once get from under the evil
influence Of the universal liquor contain
ination they are very apt to find some
thing good deal better TO take its place.
We suggest that the management OF
the Hagerstown fair profit by Wheeling's
example, and cut out the wretched saloon
that is such nuisance on the fair grounds
and so Objectionable to great proportion
of the visitors 10 the exhibition.

A FRIEND OF the Register asks us to
republiSh the following editorial from the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, which he thinks
is particularly opposite just now, when
so many young persons are considering
the vital question OF going to school or
starting in active work without waiting to
complete their education. II ought to be
read thoughtfully BY every boy and girl
in West Virginia.
"Return to school if possible. The ad-
vice must necessarily be generalization,
but few will question that in the average
case ones worldly prospects are better
ed by getting all the education one finds
il possible 10 secure. Return TO school ii
parents and friends and your own deter
mination can find means to accomplish it.
at may mean sacrifice. 1t may mean
surrender OF opportunities to gain an i'm
mediate income; may even appear TO
close certain avenues OF work that now
seems highly desirable. But don't be
misled by false prospects. Be willing TO
sacrifice little now for the reward that
is certain to come later.
"The world wants trained men and
trained women, able to assume reSpon-
sibilities, of directing affairs il wants
leaders in every walk OF life. There will
always be plenty of followers; the de-
mand is for those capable of leadership.
And the public school and the colleges
furnish the opportunity for young men
and women to train themselves for the
highest part in the worlds work they are
capable OF performing.
''Return TO school. Make some sacri-
flee if necessary. Enter into partnership
with things worth while. Take advan-
tage of the machinery the State provides
for your own development. The clearer
vision of later years will more than justify
the present effort"

Denver-A bill providing for

erado who have not first submit

6led affidavit of the result with
the city clerk, w.s introduced in
che house by Representative F. w.
Wallace of Pueblo. The bill states
that the results Of all eXamina-
tions. which both woman and man

Hereditary insanity, incurable
diseases and tuberculosis will also
disqualify a person from marry

Of the bill. Another clause is de-
singed to prevent persons with a
criminal record from wedding.
Dir. Wallace declared that he has

much to better future gener-

We hope when this bill comes

makers VIII see to it that it is
not enacted into a law. For it

generations. For it is a well
known fact if you try to keep a

We believe a law of this kind

delinquencies. In the second place, by
using it in this way the mother at once
reduces the responsibilities Of the child
to a cash basis. Agnes can calculate
next time whether staying out later IS
worth the 10 cents that it costs. This
attitude also opens up the whole field
of the child's conduct to petty bicker-
ings and bargainings about the number
Of cents to be paid for each good
deed or the number Of cents to be'de-
Quoted for each "bad" deed.
In addition to an allowance children
should have opportunities to earn ex-
ira amounts Of money. 1t is the
money earned that gives them the nee
essary inner experience without which
one is never able to translate money
value into terms Of effort and exer-
tion and sacrifice. Money that comes
without effort may teach the child to
spend wisely, or to save; but it can
never teach him the human cost Of the
things that he uses from day to day.
It is perhaps at this point more than
anywhere else that the children Of the
well-to-do fail to become acquainted
with the life problems Of the mass Of
the people. They come to feel the
value of money in terms of what it can
buy, but not in terms of what it costs.
In many a household it becomes
necessary for many Of the daily tasks
to be performed by the children. II
these tasks are looked upon as duties,
IL thew represent definitely the chill
dren's share Of the upkeep Of the es-
tablshment, they should not be paid
for Nevertheless, It would be proper
to agree upon a scale Of payment for
doing many of the necessary chores

"CHldren should hare OppOr-
tunitN to earn extra amounts
Of money!"

But in that case the child should have
the option Of not doing the assigned
work when he feels that II is not worth
his while. Otherwise the payment for
work is merely a pretext for compel
ling the child 70 do work. The amounts
paid 70 a child cannot, of course, be
accurately gauged to the value Of his
services; but they should not be ex-
cessive, for then one Of the chief ad-
yantages Of working for pay would be
entirely lost On the other hand. II
the pay is too low the child will s0n
find it out, and his mind will dream
of the riches he could accumulate if
he only quit school and went to work
as errand boy in some store or Office.
For many people ideas OF financial -
lations and responsibilities are com
pletely warped by the failure to expe-
rience during childhood a definite pol
icy in thee matters. Instead Of hap
hazard giving there should be a def
mite policy Of payments, instead Of al
lowsncC.
