WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE WEAK
BODIES
Kidney Diseases Cause Many Aches
and Ills Of Maysvllle People.

AS one weak link weakens n chain,
so may weak kidneys weaken the
whole body and hasten the final
breaking-down.
overwork, strains, colds and other
causes injure the kidneys and gener-
ally when their activity is lessened the
whole body suffers.
Aches and pains and languor and
urinary ills frequently come, and there
is an ever-increasIng tendency to-
wards dropsy, gravel or fatal Bright's
disease. When the kidneys fail there
is no real help for the sufferer except
kidney help.
Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on
the kindeys. Maysville testimony is
proof Of their effectiveness.
Mrs. S. Neal, 497 w. Second St.,
Maysville, says: "one Of my family
had a great deal of trouble from a
lame back and weak kidneys Doan's
Kidney Pills made the patient better"
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get

WEST VIRGINIA LAW TANGLES Up
THINGS FOR G. o. p.

Parkersburg, W. Va, March 30
The Republican State Central Com
mittce will meet here today to devise
means of selecting delegates to the
national convention. According to a
new law these delegates are to be
chosen at primaries June G, one day
befor ethe Chicago convei ton. Time
would not be allowed for those elected
to reach Chicago, particularly should
returns be late or contests develop.
The plan proposed as a solution of
the problem is to call either a state
convention or district conventions to
select list of delegates on whom all
Republican may agree at the June
primary. These men then could go
to Chicago and receive their creden-
tials by wire.

SERIOUS SITUATION
Confronted By Administration Over
Seeming Renewal Of Submarine
Operations BY Germany.

Washington, March 30.-The accu-
mutation of circumstantial evidence,
indicating that Germany has engaged
upon a campaign of submarine war
fare which has no regard for the
rights of American citizens travelling
on merchant ships of belligerent ma
Itionality, the administration consid-
crs, has created one of the most seri-
GUS situations which has confronted
the United States since the beginning
of the war in Europe.
Every agency open to the State De-
partment last night was being en-
ployed in an effort to gather an un-
Improbable array of facts regarding
the explosion which damaged the
British channel steamer Sussex, the
sinking of the British ships Manches-
ter Engineer, Englishman, Eagle
Point and the Dutch steamer Tubantia,
and the alleged firing of a torpedo at
the French passenger ship Patria.
All of these ships carried American
citizens and all apparently were at
tackled in violation of Germany's re-
Gently renewed assurances to the
United States.
The next step of the United States
is said authoritatively to have been de-
termined upon. Unless Germany, in
reply to the inquiries made by the
United States through Ambassador
Gerard, makes some statement to
cause the State Department to change
its present intentions, II is under
stood that all the recent aggravating
incidents will be combined into one
general formidable indictment, which
will bring the entire subject to a clear
cut issue.
Should Germany admit responsible
ity for any of the attacks and attempt
TO satisfy the United States by say
ing that a mistake had been made, Of
fer to make reparation and to punish
the submarine commander, the issue
would not by any means be disposed
of. Il is regarded as certain that the
United States would not accept any
such an explanation as satisfactory,
at least until time had shown punish
ment actually was melted out to the
offending submarine commander and
whether any value longer could be at
tached TO Germany's promises.
In the event of Germany disclaim-
ing responsibility for the disasters the
United States will proceed with its in
yestigatiOns TO determine to its own
satisfaction whether the evidence
which now strongly indicates that the
Sussex and other ships were torpe-
doed without warning can be regard
ed as conclusive proof
With such proof before II the gov
eminent probably would act prompt
iy. ohicials refrain from discussing
what the nature Of the action would
be.
