When VIII Madison People Learn
the Importance of 1t?

Backache is only a simple thing at
first;
But if you find It's from the kid

That serious kidney troubles may
follow;
That dropsy or Bright's disease
may be the fatal end,
You will be glad to know the fol-
low experience.
IT'S the statement of a Madison
citizen.
Mrs. p. Lincoln, Madison, says:
Several years ago my kidneys be-
came disordered and / suffered con-
stantly from backache, accompanied
by headaches and spells of dizziness.
| have had no trouble whatever from
my kidneys since using Doan's Kid
ney Pills and / know that | am COM

strongest women escaped the most
men. That naturally bred a race of
slow and weak women
why does a woman invariably
turn backward when getting off an
omnibus or a tramcar? IT is because
in the primitive times she was stolen
violently by some man and carried
away thrown owe his shoulder. with
her face turned toward the a from
which she had been so ruthlessly
torn. AS a consequence, woman's
face is now always turned toward the
place from which she came.
ION these occasions, too, the wom-
en- who wore loose, easy sandals were
able to run and avoid capture. while
those who cramped their feet to keep
them small were caught. Realizing
the usefulness of tight footwear, man
pretended to admire small feet and
helped to perpetuate a race OF half
crippled IN That Is why so
many women torture themselves with
tight shoes today. For the same rea-
son woman o weeps at weddings,
because she remembers the time
men all NtuullES Ntit do6Eaitog
and she always fingers unnecessarily
long in dressing for the theater be-
cause her prehistoric ancestress who
loitered outside the family cave was
always the one caught by the wife
hunter.
I'm spite of civilization, m is
still the primitive cav dweller in her
dress adornments and many of her
customs. Feathers. paint and beads
and the masses of metal and stone
called jewelry with which she loves
to bedeck herself all help the stu
dent OF history to make a diagnosis
of the savage.
This reversion of type to the
primitive characteristics of the cave
dweller is more marked than 1t has
been in several generations. II is
largely due. I fancy, to a reaction
from the strain of a too rapidly de-
veloped civilization, with its attend
ant %tyrannies of culture and refine
ment. How long it may continue be-
fore 1t is checked not even science
however, for the most %deplorable
throwback of all as a result of this
wave OF reaction is the militant suf-
fraget. She seems TO be a reproduc'
tion of the short-haired woman Of
the Stone Age. who escaped capture
and spent her days throwing stone:
at her luckier sister or wranglinf
with her fellows about the injustice
of man. And her only weapons o.
warfare today are still the club ant
the hatchet."

LITTLE LOSS TO COMMERCE

WYNN wv - o@tFS
the Continuation Of Shipments to
Great Britain, France and Their
Allies.
Washington, March 20.-The note
TO be sent TO Great Britain in the
near future, protesting against some
features OF the British order In coun.
ell and asking for more detailed in
formation about other features, was
taken up at the cabinet meeting.
The two points considered we're the
probable effects of the order on
American and on the rights
of American citizens. Information
laid before the president by Secretary
Redfield regarding the export trade
of the United States since the out
break OF the wal was gone over in de
tail.
II Is understood that the presi
dents advisers do not believe the or
der will have q demoralizing effect
on American commerce because OF
the continuance OF trade with Great
Britain, France and her allies.
The part of the order giving no
tice that goods suspected of having
an enemy destination sent to neutra
countries will be liable to seizure Is
understood to have been agreed as
n of the chief points to be protest
ed against.
Formal protests against the seiz
ure of the American steamer Mara
cas-, ordered before a British court
will be fled with the British govern
ment by Ambassador Page, under oil
rection of the state department. Th'
Washington government Will main

We raised 757 bushels of corn
from 12A acres, better than so
bushels per acre. This corn was
picked early, carefully selected
and only the best ears saved for
seed. This was racked up and
thoroughly dried out before cold
weather. Why plant inferior
seed when you can get seed that
will grow and produce a good
yield. We offer this seed for
$3.50 per bushel, in the ear.
