They become sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region. sharp pains in the back or sick headache dizziness. your stomach sours, tongue IS coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges The urine gets cloudy. full of sediment, the chan Nnels often get sore and irritated, oblig- Ntng you to seek relief two or three tTnes during the night.

One Uplift Needed
From Judge.


 There ought to be at least one maga-
 zine in the country dedicated to the up- lift of the unobstrusive husband. At
 present he is shockingly unqualified for the mass of domestic duties which his new field of inactivity has snowered upon him. What does he know, for instance. about preparing an evening meal for a jaded and defeated wife. home from a weary struggle at auction. with her head full of unsuccessfully doubled slams and her irrepressible obesity replete with fruit salad lady fingers and black coffee? Truly he knows nothing about it. And he knows less about keeping himself and the children tidy and the home cozy. Nor will he know until some punctilious- ly edited periodical champions his cause and supplies him with a vile assortment of inexpert advice every now and then.
 In such magazine young and mex perienced husbands should be given spe- cial helps They should be taught the opinions of the more prominent women of affairs in regard to the teaching of sex hygiene in the public schools, reli- fious training in the home and birth control. They should learn just what fraction of a child the graduate of liar yard, Yale or Columbia is caring for at ! the present time and how many his mother cared for 30 years ago. Then there is the expectant father who is in particular need of misdirection. Usually he is in the blankest ignorance of what fate holds in store for him. Un- less he is immediately supplied with con- siderable piffle. he is liable to fall back into the sensible practices of his grand mother, and thus turn back the hands of medical Aggression two or three genera tions
 The modern husband must be raised above the status of mere household drudge. Woman has reached a level where further progress is impossible un- less man, who is in some respects es-
 sential to efficient and productive home life, is brought up to a nominal state of
 responsibility and enlightened activity.

The power of this store to serve has been cumulative increased by successive addi- tions from week to week, month to month and year to year. As the store has grown, the public support has grown, which is sure evidence, we think, that while we've made mistakes, they have been more than offset by our ac- complishments.

The Rough Edge on Coins

From the haHSHS City oIdT.
 Did you ever look at the edge of a dime or quarter? They are different from pennies and nickels. for all silver and gold coin have what are called "milled" edges, while the edges of pen nies and nickels are smooth. The req son for this is that some dishonest per- sons used to clip pieces off the coins. especially the gold ones. and then sell these scraps of precious metal when they had saved great many. Every year the nation lost large sums of money this way. and the thieves would smooth the edges off so we'll that it was hard to find out who was guilty. The best way of stopping this practice was found to be to 'mill' the edges of the most valuable coins so that no one could pare them without letting it Ee seen at once.

AN ACUTE PROBLEM

The Hague, Netherlands February g. Correspondence of the Associated Press.)-The question whether a deserter who enters a neutral country in war time should be interned, and if SO, whether he should be extradited with his ordinary interned fellow soldiers at the end of the war-that is to say, in most cases delivered up to certain death are aspects of the deserter problem that have been raised in acute form in Hol- land.

AID LONESOME ONES


 Many women of the Red Cross give attention to men at the front who have no one to remember them at home. One member, Madame Richelot, the wife of Dr. l.. c. Richelot, is godmother to 300 soldiers. which constitutes a record to date
 Regarding the state of mind of wounded soldiers now in the hospitals after 16 months of war, Madame Pe- rouse, president of the Union des Fem mes de France, says; They support their sufferings admirably and are much more anxious to return to the front than were the wounded in the hospitals last year at this time. They talk about active service with an en- thusiasm that is contagious"
 Monsieur Justin Godart. under sec retary for war in charge of the sanitary department of the army, has just re- placed the society women of the Red Cross serving as nurses in some of the military hospitals by paid inde- pendent nurses The choice of nurses outside the three Red Cross organiza- tions developed considerable comment, but there was in this no reflection on the devotion of Red Cross nurses; neither does it bring their efficiency into question. Paid trained nurses are more adaptable to military discipline which must prevail in all military es- tablishments.
 Most of the women who devote them selves to hospital work are from the easy classes; they are necessarily so since they are required to give not only their time and sometimes their lives, but also their money to the cause. Some of them pay largely for the privi- lege of serving the country as sorts of maids of all work, others pay more dearly for the privilege of working as surgeons aids and as nurses. Few of them were, before the war, accus- toned to the hard work of housekeep ing, and some of them have learned it's most elementary principles in the hospitals

GIGANTIC SCOPE OF FRENCH RED CROSS .66,449 Women Equipping Hospitals With Beds 2S8 PARIS BUILDINGS Costs But Little Over 50 Cents Per Day to Maintain Wounded.
 Heavy Mortality Among
 the Nurses
2S8 PARIS BUILDINGS

Paris, January 29.-(Correspondenc of the Associated Press )-There are now 66,449 women in the French Red Cross volunteer army, equipping 15OO hospitals with an aggregate of 11S.OOO beds. The Red Cross flag now flies over 2SS buildings in Paris alone
 The Society for Aid to Wounded Sol diers, the largest of the three Red Cross organizations and the originator of the work in France in 1864, spent $32,- 000,e00 francs during the first 17 months of the war The society has operated 796 hospitals, consisting of 67,0S1 beds, and given a total of 21,- 100000 days care to wounded soldiers. Besides these hospitals, the society maintains a hospital of 800 beds al Sa- loniki, 93 refugees established in the sixth and ninth military regions in France 70 infirmaries i'll railroad sta tions and 45 railroad canteens.
 COST IS LOW
 The cost of maintenance of hospitals varies so much that it is difficult to establish average cost per capita per diem, but as near as can be calculated this society has brought it's cost down to little over three francs a day.
 The Union des Femmes de France, tHe second Tn importance or the 1teu Cross societies, has now 2S,446 nurses, equipping 355 hospitals with 29,O00 beds, while the Association des Danes Francasises has 16,000 nurses, in $50 hospitals, with 22,000 beds.
 The mortality among the Red Cross nurses has been remarkably heavy con- sidering the character of their work and the immunity they are supposed to enjoy under the international regula- tions. Twenty two members of the Society for Aid to the Wounded Soldiers have given their lives to the cause, some of them killed under shell fire, others carried off by contagious dis eases. The nurses of this society have received 63 epidemic medals, 50 war crosses and one cross of the Legion of Honor. The first Red Cross victim of the war was Mademoiselle Susanne Giles. who fell at Luneville with her chest torn by the fragments of shell that burst inside the hospital ward where she was attending wounded. The next was Mademoiselle Cagnard at Cambrai, who is declared to have been shot point blank by Prussian soldier firing into the hospital through the window. During the bombardment of Rheims seven women of the Red Cross became victims of the bombardment including Madame Fontaine- Faudier, Mademoisel1e Causse and five sisters of charity.
