To AILING WOMEN,
A Little Sound Advice viii Help Many

No woman should consider herself
healthy and we'll ii the kidneys are
weak. Poisons that pass off in the
secretiOns when the kidneys are well
are retained in the body when the
kidneys are disordered. If the kidpevs
and bladder become inflamed and swell
len worse troubles may quickly follow.
This is often the cause of be aring-down
pains, 'ameness, backache. etc. Uric
poisoning is also frequent cause of
headache, dizzy spells, languor. ner-
vousness and rheumatic pain.
When suffering so, try Doan's Kid
ney Pills, a remedy that has proven eff
fective in thousands of such cases.
Let a Grenada woman tell of her ex.
perience.
Mrs. ID. B. Phillips, SOB Second St..
Grenada, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills
are certainly a fine kidney medicine.
My experience with them warrants nv
recommending them t, others as the
one reliable medicine for backache and
other troubles, caused by the kidneys.
Their use has saved me a great deal Of
suffering from these complaints"

Excepting Us Out of War"

One of the greatest contributions
tC the national campaign, as we'll as
to the history of this nation, was the
classic speech delivered by Elihu
Root, former Secretary of State, at
Carnegie hall, New York. With COM
polling logic, lucid illustration and
lnimpassioned oratory, Mr.. Root an
alyzed the record of this administra-
ton, showed the estimate in which
as a result of the Wilson foreign pol
icy, the United States has come to be
held by foreign powers and the dan
ger which that estimate involves.
1--WE are told that Mr. Wilson has
kept the country out of war;" he said
at one point.
Our danger is not now, while the
great war is raging, but later, when
peace has been made and the great
armies are free and rulers and gov
ernments look about for ways to re-
pair their losses, and the great spa
ces and ill-defended wealth of the
new world loom large on the horizon
of their desires"

Eight Hour Law For Sleepers.

The eight hour law can be work
ed in more ways than one, and the
landlord of a hotel in a Colorado
town has made its use profitable in
his business. Signs were put up in
hotel rooms notifying guests that no
one could sleep more than eight
hours without being charged anoth-
er dollar. This three+shift rule for
sleepers is said to have been adopted
in Nederland, Colorado, during the
recent boom in the tungsten indus
try. Tungsten is found in but few
places in this country, and Neder-
land is one of them. The boom has
quoted down now, but for time the
memories of 40 we're revived in the
experiences of those who visited the
district.

THE CAMPAIGN ISN'T THAT.

style this campaign as Methodism VS..
the rest Of us, instead of democracy
VS.. republicanism. We do not write
of it in that way because it would
not be true. 1t is not the Methodist
church against the rest of US. The
Methodist church as a whole is not
involved. That church is as much
divided as the rest of the people.
Simply because a few preachers have
spoken that does not mean the church.
The preachers are not the church
and the average layman in that
c-lurch is just as Independent as the
rest of us. He votes as he thinks,
not as his preacher talks. Nothing
could be more absurd than such a
contention. The Methodists of Iowa
are not yet owned by their preachers
Few men whether in or out of the
church vote as they are told to do

The only way to prevent this cal
amity is to roll up Socialist vote so
great that Wall Street will under
stand that it will continue to pro-
coed along present lines at it's peril
Three million Socialist votes will
stop food exports!
Three million Socialist votes will
compel the Democratic and Republi-
can Parties to go about il at once TO
repeal the draft law that both par
ties struggled through Congress last
spring, and which the President
signed on June 3rd.
Three million Socialist votes will
halt a policy of military expenditure
that has already made the militarism
of every other country on earth look
comparatively small and unimpor-
| tant.
III it be the last thing you are to
do on this earth, vote the Socialist
ticket this year.
In attempting to vote the Socialist
ticket, be sure it is the Socialist tic
ket that you vote.
The names of some other tickets
somewhat resemble the Socialist tic
ket.
Vote the ticket that has at its
head my name and the name of
George r. Kirkpatrick, the Socialist
candidate for Vice-President.
And, if few days before election,
you read that l have abandoned the
Socialist party and come out for Mr..
Wilson, be assured that such re-
port is lie.

Democratic politicians are already
trying to turn back the Democratic

And remember this: Wall Street s
not seriously concerned as to wheth-

be the next president. Wall Street
knows that with either of them in
the White House the old game of Elk
plotting the people for the benefit OF
few, will go on.
| have in my possession circular
issued on January 18th of this year
by the great Wall Street banking
firm of Knauth, Nachod & Kuhne, II
which this sentence appears:
There is nothing in the presiden-
tai election for business men to be-
come alarmed over"
This great banking house would
not have made that statement if it
had believed l were going to be the
next president.
And when Wall Street is not
alarmed it is time for the people to
be alarmed.
To paraphrase the words of Mel

THE BRIDES PROMISE TO OBEY
Episcopal Brides and Many Others
Must Agree TO Obey.

1t had been expected by many that
the Episcopal House of Deputies, in
session at ST. Louis, Mo-, would re-
move from the marriage service the
brides promise to obey her husband
J 1t is now announced, owing to pres
sure of other business, that this mat
ter will go over to the General Con-
vention of 1919. For three years
more then, Episcopal brides, and
many others using this ancient form
of marriage service, must agree to
obey their husbands.
| But will they do it?
The feminine mind is not made up
like the masculine. 1t has its own
sanctions and formulas. If it makes
promise, it cherishes the right to
make reservations. If such reserva-
lions are questioned, it would neat
ly reply that they are understood .
You can not pin it down. In spite OF
this seeming elusiveness of the FEM
mime mind, however, it is probable
that women keep the letter and spir-
it of the marriage contract better
than men.
There do not seem to be many
women nowadays who obey their
husbands. If they do, it is because
their husbands have proved to be
such disagreeabie Doors that it is the
cheapest way out of the dilemma
The husband who is a gentleman is
not likely to issue orders to his wife.
Anyway, this is for him the cheapest
way out of it. Not issuing such or
ders is his only way of preserving his
dignity, as they wouldn't be obeyel
anyway.
The modern marriage is of course
an equal contract, with husband and
wife equal partners There are of
course some losses in any change OF
popular point of view. The old
fashioned submissive wife was a SUI
perb home maker, and very efficient
at her business. But the man of the
twentieth century has all he can do
to regulate his own conduct without
attempting to boss his wife.
