HAVE YOU A BAD BACK?
If You Have. the Statement of this
Viroqua Resident Will Inter
est You

Does your back ache, night and day
Hinder work; destroy your rest?
Does it stab you through and through
When you stoop OF lift or bend?
Then your kidneys may be weak.
Often backache is the clue.
Just to give you further proof,
The kidney action may b. wrong.
II attention is not paid
More distress will soon appear.
Headaches, dizzy spells and nerves,
Uric acid and its ills
Make the burden worse and worse.
Liniments and plasters can't
Reach the inward cause at all;
Help the kidneys--use the pills
Viroqua folks have tried and proved.
What they say you can believe.
Read this Viroqua mans account.
See him, ask him, if you doubt.
f. j. Older, Viroqua, says: II can
give Doan's Kidney Pills strong re-
They brought me re-
lief from lame and aching back and
other symptoms of kidney trouble. We
ask for better kidney medi-
cine than Doan's Kidney Pills.
Price SOC, at all dealers. Don't Sim
ply ask for kidney remedy get Doan's
Kidney Pills the same that Mr.. Older
had. Foster Milburn Co, Prop, Buff

Independent Voters.
(BristOl Press.

Colonel Osborne and even Candidate for Governor Beardsley are taken to task in some quarters because in the past they have on occasions voted for republicans. Do the fault-finders realize how silly and bigoted they ap- pear in making such protests. A voter who does not exercise his judgment and his independence is the one that needs criticism There is nothing to be proud of in a record of Straight ticket voting. Intelligent citizenship selects the best men who most hon. estly stand for the public welfare. Party labels are by no means guaran- tees of perfection. The voters must be their own judges. It is to the credit of Colonel Osborn, MT. Boards ley and others that they have proven themselves too strong to be bound by party ties. The independent voter is the man to applaud, and he cannot be read out of any party because he has the power to go where he pleases ana is not required to ask permission Of any man.

tice of seizing American mail on the high seas. No, the German-American Alliance adopted resolutions praising this sort of thing and the people were told that as long as they had not gone to war over what Germany had done, in the killing of men, women and children, there was no justice in waging war because of the opening of few letters. There was no talk of war when our munition factories were blown up, either. Looking back over the records it is easily seen that there never was a chance for the United States going to war with any of the belligerent powers of Europe. Theodore Roosevelt was doing all he could to keep the people satisfied by failing to protest Against the viola tion of Belgium and praising the course of Germany.
 He Kept Us Out of the War" is all a mistake. It is no campaign slogan, because he could not have got
 
 That is the way the opponents of MT. Wilson are viewing the situation. And yet we fail to otherwise account for the feverish condition throughout the country that followed the invasion of Belgium and the sinking of the Lusi- tania and numerous other ships, and the spirit that prompted the prepared ness campaign that was at it's height only few short months ago. Are memories so short as all this, that men cannot remember back to the time when every man who hated England wanted the United States fighting with Germany and vice versa? We do not think so.

puts things up a bit too strong some times, and they do not quite conform to the ideas of Colonel Jarvis, then our neighbor in Berlin might find sur- cease from sorrow in some journal that scores a point or two the other way round and he could have great fun in making Colonel Osborn come down off the pedestal. But he must keep track of what the New Haven editor is writing, otherwise the joy of friendly tilt will be lost. And so must all of us, to keep the Records straight, learn what the other fellow is doing. It is part of the game. must not part.
