A BARRE MAN
George L. Cummings, Engineer, of Ia4
Prospect Street, Tells of an
Interesting Experience

There is nothing like talk with one
of our own citizens for giving hope and
encouragement to the anxious sufferer
from the dread kidney disease. We,
therefore, give here an interviw with a
Barre man:
Mr.. Cummings says: 81 had a con-
slant, dull ache in the small CT my back
and was bothered by kidney weakness.
Dosns Kidney Pills, procured at browns
Drug Store, cured these troubles, and
there have been only two slight return
attacks At such times, have taken a
few Doan's Kidney Pills and have found
prompt relief

ply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's
Kidney Pills-the same that Mr.. Cum

Not Ships Enough.

1t is impossible at present to build too
many ships for American owners. The
United States has not anything Like the
number of ocean going vessels it ought to
have for the urgent requirements of its
own trade. Other neutral nations suffer
from similar deficiency, not only because
of the excessive trade demands that the
war has made, but because of the toll
that the war has taken of vessels in Eu-
ropean waters. Belligerents cannot help.
Their tonnage has been greatly reduced,
and not until years after the war is over
will they be able to restore their mer-
chant fleets to the position they held in
the summer of 1914.
For many years we have been not
wisely but too well content to trust the
bulk OF our trans Atlantic conveyance Of
travellers, manufactures and merchandise
to British shipping, and now, when the
British ships available are comparatively
few, We must pay the high freight rates
for what we have not ships Of our own
to carry. Happy are those American
shipowners who, living by hope, had
faith enough during the lean years to
strengthen their fleets in expectation Of
better times They have had two profit
able years. and prudence eounsels them
not to sell any of their vessels, but to
build more for the years to come.
Americas great carrier is failing her.
Not one.half of the British merchant
navy of two years ago is now obtainable
for the purposes of peace. At the out
break of the war the United Kingdom
had mercantile marine of 1S69623T
tons. Thes"measure of total set back"
which it has suffered, as estimated by
the Liverpool Journal of Commerce, is
4 .220, 900 gross tons--eonsisting of hind
rance to new construction, 100000 tons;
war losses, 100000; and excessive de-
probation, 100000. For the moment
we are concerned only with the war
losses. Deducting these from the total,
the remainder is l7,l76,237 tons, and, as
a bout 50 per cent of this has been taken
by the government for war purposes,
there is left only some 100000 tons for
regular trade.
While British shipping has been thus
going down, how has American shipping
been going up? Our mercantile marine
1t the outbreak of the war was stated
1T 5,427 $3.50 tons. But the northern lakes
