BANKING Lesson For Women.

A certified check is your own check
across the face of which the bank has
stamped the word Certified" meaning
that it guarantees payment. When Il
check is certified it is at that time
charged up to your account and the
money held out by the bank to pay the
check when it is presented. A certified
check is required where valuables or
papers are delivered in exchange for a
check. Also they are often held to
make good certain transactions. A GER
titled check is accepted the same as
money and is much safer&to carry. as
it is no good until Endorsed. If, you
should have a certified check and later
decide not to use it do not destroy the
check. but take it to your bank and de-
post it to your own credit. This is
very importantly Selley in South
ern Woman's Magazine.

WHY IT SUCCEEDS.
Because 1t is For One Thing Only,
and Edgerton People Appreciate It.

Nothing can be good for everything.
Doing one thing well brings success.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for one thing

For weak or disordered kidneys.
Here is reliable evidence of their
worth.
Mrs. George Hammes, 1908 Ravine
St., GAINESVILLE, Wis, says: Il began
to notice that my kidneys were getting
in bad shape. The first symptoms were
severe backaches and pains across my
hips. Then | had headaches and dizzy
spells, and was nervous and felt mis-
cradle. I knew that my kidneys were
causing this trouble, so | used Doan's
Kidney Pills. It took only few boxes
to cure me. Doan's Kidney Pills put
my kidneys in fine shape and the dizzy
and nervous spells left me, together
with the pains in my back and head. :"

A GENERAL SURVEY OF
The WAR.

Thursday, Dec. PA violent bat
tie has been in progress in northern
Dobrudja, where the offensive was as
sumed by the forces of the central
powers, which at first carried several
heights, but later were driven from a
portion of the captured ground, the
Russian war office announces. Russian
attacks in efforts to gain control of
the remaining heights are going ON.
Friday, Dec. 22.-In an official state
ment Petrograd admits another retire
ment before General Won Mackensen
of a Bulgarian attack in which the
greater part of the Bulgarian detach-
ment was forced into Lake IboIsta and
drowned
British troops have captured the
fortified town of Al Arish III Egypt
held by the Turks year.
Saturday, Dec. 23.-Fighting
series of defensive battles, but slowly
yielding to the Teutonic pressure, the
Dobrudja are being pressed backward
to the north
In Dobrudja the Russo-Roumanian
defensive line is reported to have with
drawn northward until it is only thir-
teen miles south of the northern ex-
tremity of that province.
Big guns are active also in the re-
gion of Hardaumont and Chambrettes.
near Verdun.
Sunday, Dec. 24.-Field Marshal Won
Mackensen's army has gained the
frontier of Bessarabia The Bessara-
bian town of Iswail on the northern
bank of Danube, opposite Tulcea, is
under the fire of German guns.
Switzerland, in a note to all of the
warning powers, has announced it's
support of President Wilson's appeal
for discussion of peace terms, saying
it would consider itself happy if it
could act in any way, no mater how
modest, for the approachme1t of the
peoples now engaged in the struggle,
and for lasting peace"
Monday, Dec. 25.-Ground was yield
ed by the Roumanians at some points
under the pressure of the Germans
and north of the Buzeu-Rimnik road a
height was lost by the Russians. In
the northwest corner of Dobrudja
province the army of Field Marshal
Won Mackensen has begun to attack
the bridgehead of Matchin.
British mounted troops, with the
cooperation of aircraft, carried
strong position at Maghdaba, twenty
miles distant from Ell Arish. Incom-
plete reports, says the statement from
London, show that 1,130 prisoners
were captured and large quantity of
arms and war material taken.
The Russians claim to have inf1ict-
ed heavy losses on the Austro-Ger-
mans when the latter attempted to re-
capture heights in the wooded Car
pathians

Apoplexy DAYS.

1t is the lethargic, full blooded, thick
and short necked subject who eats
and drinks more than is good for him
and who does not take sufficient exer-
else who most frequently falls a VIC
tim to apoplectic seizures, according
to the New York Medical Journal
Quoting Dr. Il. Barlow, it says, 1.-THE
majority of seizures occur on Sunday
Or Monday, owing probably to the
greater indulgence in the joys of the
table on the day Of rest and the slight
increase in excitement consequent On
the return to business"
Big eaters and cocoa drinkers are
just as liable to it as heavy drinkers.
alcohol is frequently made the scape-
goat for an attack of this character.
when really excessive eating is to
blame
1t is easier to prevent than to cure
apoplexy. Moderation in eating and
drinking and regular action of the
bowels are the very best preventives.

Shippers Report Strange Vessels.
For some days shippers of JTanSat-
lantic and cOastwise steamers have
been bringing to New EnglaEd ports
reports of strange appearing craft that
were making their way westward
They made no reply to signals and
could not be approached. They steer
ed a Vagrant course and we're de-
scribed variously as Of the fashion of
merchantmen, transports, light crui-
sers and even of submarines. Pieced
together these reports fitted IN with
the suspicion, now apparently confirm
ed, of shipping men. 1t is said the
fleet arrived safely at Halifax, N. S.,
a few days ago, but nothing then be-
came known generally about it be-
cause of the strict censorship main
tanned.
The commerce protectors are de-
scribed as large and powerful, but
capable of FIR speed. They were de-
signed, it is said, to meet the German
''U'' boat danger, and in anticipation
of an attempted raid off the Canadian
off Nantucket on Oct. s. At that time
shipping men figured that there was
not an allied warship within 500 miles
of the spot that Captain Hans Rose
deliberately selected in which to op-
crate. The British admiralty, i; is said,
determined to make impossible an
