IS IT YOUR KIDNEYS,
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles

Troubles
Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only muscular weakness: when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And so it is
with all the other symptoms Of kidney
disorders. That is where the danger
often lies. You should realize that
these troubles often lead to dropsy or
Bright's disease. An effective remedy
for weak or disordered kidneys is
Doan's Kidney Pills. Residents of
this vicinity are constantly testifying.

Increased Tax Payment of Whisky
Does Not Mean Increased CONSUMPTION

Well may Bonfort's for May % have
In black-face type through its pages
the statement that July will be the
biggest whisky producing month Ken
lucky has seen In years, but when the
editor tries to establish any relation
between this and the actual whisky
consumption Of the country, he Is dis
torting facts. There is no relation
whatever. Shipping and distilling con-
ditions abroad are so upset as to affc It
the statistics of the whole world.
In addition to this there enters an
other important factor into the situa.
ton which explains increased tax pay
ments, but does not show increased
consumption. We refer 20 the state
ment issued by Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoo, In commenting upon Com
missioner Of Internal Revenue Os-
born's report, which report shows an
increased tax payment Of $1O,O13. 40
over the corresponding period of a year
ago. 1t must be remembered that there
was tremendous slump In the rev.
enue collections on whisky for the fis-
cal year which ended June 80, 1915.
Here Is Secretary McAdoo's statement:
Notwithstanding the spread Of Pro-
hibition, collections on distilled spirits
for the first 10 months Of the fiscal
year increased $10,013,140 over the COR
responding period Of year ago. This
10 due in great measure to the effective
enforcement of the internal revenue
tax on distilled spirits. II 10 estimated
that through the campaign of the
Treasury Department against UNDER
gausing, equaIizing and bIockadng in
distiIleries, the revenue of tho govern
ment has been increased by probably
$4,000, 900 annually.
The only article Of taxation showing
a decrease is beer. Because of tho rel
ativey low tax on fermented liquors
and the difficulty Of getting the tax
paid beer on the market, the Commits
sioner says that the loss in tax on
beer, on account Of fraud has been neg
ligible, and that the decrease 10 due
principally to the increase in the Pro-
hibition laws.
In other words the pious distillers
have been defra uding the government.
They have not been paying their full
tax, and now under a stricter law en-
forcement regime, the whisky paid tax
shows an increase and the pro-liGuor
papers are working overtime to make
1t appear that this means an increased
consumption.
The revenue reports show the in.
crease in tax payments on whisky, but
there is absolutely no evidence from
any source to show that there has been
an increased consumption.
Secretary McAdoo's explanation of
the increased whisky revenue does not
bear out the contentious Of the pro-
liquor journals.

When Mr.. Hughes criticises the rec
ord of the Administration the spokes-
men of Mr.. Wilson cry: what would
you have done?" They forget that it
is Mr.. Wilson and not Mr.. Hughes
who Is on trial. They forget that
four years ago Mr.. Wilson criticised
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt through
out the campaign and that Mr.. Taft
and Mr.. Roosevelt defended their re-
spective records. instead of crying
what would you have done?" They
forget these things or they refuse to
confess them. They are trying to run
away from the record of the Admins
tration and induce the people to fol-
low them down some by-path of rhe-
torical hypothesis, all in the effort to
change the subject.
"By their fruits We shall know
Them" When Mr.. Hughes was Gov
ernor Of New York he did not pay
political debts by filling the public
offices with unfit men. He did not
champion certain principles during his
campaign and repudiate them after
he entered Office. AS Governor, he
did not resort to brave and beautiful
words as substitute for firm and con-
sistent deeds. He was careful In his
use of words but he backed his words
with deeds. He did not promise what
he could not perform. He did not
plaster the people with compliments
they did not deserve. He was not a
rhetorician, he was not flatterer, he
was not "too proud to fight" for labor
or for capital, for the strong or the
weak, when the right was on their
side.
Mr.. Wilson's spokespen seek to d.
vert attention from the attacks Mr..
Hughes Is making upon the record Of
the Administration by asking him !:
"What would you do?" they are UNI
consciously helping Mr.. Hughes. They
are recalling to the memory Of the
people the record he made throughout
his two terms as Governor Of New
York. It was then that he first said
public Office shall not be a private
snap under my administration" and
made performance square with prom
Use. There is this about Mr.. Hughes
that makes him so different from Mr..
Wilson: "Hughes means what he
says" So 1t Is that the campaign is
really a contest OF character between
two men, with sincerity as the differ
entiating and deciding factor.

WILSON STRIKES WHEN
THE IRON is COLD.

President Wilson refused to
speak In independence Hall on
the one hundred and twenty
eighth anniversary of the sign
ing Of the Declaration Of inde-
pendence In that hall, and he so
refused because inasmuch as
over one hundred of our men,
women and children had Just
been murdered on the high seas
he regarded IL as "the very mo-
ment when he would not care
to arouse the sentiment Of pa.
triotisn." Mr.. Wilson has a posi-
tive genius for striking when
the iron is cold and fearing to
strike when the iron is hot. II
one hundred and twenty-eight
years ago Washington and JEFF
ferson, and the other men who
signed the Declaration of Inde.
pendence had felt the same way
about patriotism, and the same
way about fighting as Mr.. VIII
son does, we would never have
had q country. Had Lincoln
felt the same way, there would

can Republic now In existence
