ARE you RUN DOwN2
Awaken TO the Danger and AID the
Weakened Kidneys.

Kidney sickness often runs you
down to the verge of collapse before
you know the cause. When you seem
unable to pin your mind to any task
your back aches and you cannot do an
ordinary days work, 1t is time to ask
yourself this question: Are my kid
neys working right?" The answer
may be easily found
Weak kidneys slacken their fltering
work and the uric acid circulates with
the blood, in many cases, attacking
brain, nerves, muscles and vital
organs. Don't wait for the serious
trouble-begin using Doan's Kidney
Pills when you feel the first backache
or first notice kidney disorders. This
remedy has given new life and
strength to thousands.
Proof of merit in a Maysville wo-
mans statement.
Mrs. Harry Mann, 495 w. Second
St., says: About two years ago. I
suffered from an attack ow Kidney
trouble that had lasted for a long
time. l had a dull, constant ache in
the small of my back and the pains
were often sharp. was also dizzy
and felt tired and languid. Two boxes
of Doan's Kidney Pills cured me and
l haven't been bothered by kidney
trouble since | gladly advise anyone
to get a box of Doan's Kidney Pills
at the Chenoweth Drug Co., II troubled
by their kidneys"
Mrs. Mann is only one of many
Maysville people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. II
your back aches-if your kidneys
bother you, don't simply ask for a
Kidney remedy-ask distinctly for
DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS, the same
that Mrs. Mann had-the remedy back

GERMAN BREACH
CERTAIN, BELIEF
IF PEACE FAILS
Wilson Wants Proposal to Go Through
To End War and to Prevent Full
fiIIment Of Sussex Threat
Pessimism Result Of Al
lies Position.

Washington, December 27-De-
spite a general feeling of hopelessness
among government heads oyer pros
poets for peace, in the light Of Ger
'many's latest communication, men
closest to President Wilson believed
today he will strive to the utmost tc
prevent the situation getting beyond
his grasp.
Two reasons they said, will actuate
him, namely:
A desire to end the war and a desire
IL possible, to avoid having to put
through his Sussex note threat to
break relations with Germany should
she overstep her submarine pledges.
Officials made no secret of their
pessimism over the probable allied re-
lection of the German proposal for a
round table conference. This was the
more emphatic because Germany does
not propose now to link the idea of a
world peace guaranty with the round
table session apparently. This allies
want such a theme included.
Door Not Closed
Men in touch with Wilson, however,
said the door is not closed" and that
while the allies may throw down the
German conference idea hard, Wilson
still can move again, especially with
the backing of neutrals.
Wilson's friends held he has placed
himself in the position of at least a
potential mediator and hence can not
quit now unless his ideas are thrown
down hard and fast.
While the idea of obtaining peace
is uppermost in administration minds,
there is among the inner circle a pro-
found idea that break with Germany
is inevitable If present peace pro-
posals fail utterly.
In fact, one of the highest officials
told the United Press today that pres
ent plans call for no more note writ
ing to Germany He added that If the
Marina, Arabia, and other cases de-
velop clear complication OF German
pledges in the Sussex case or If Ger
many starts a new submarine CAM
paign, then a break in relations can
be the only answer.
He declared that President Wilson's
peace note and Secretary Lansing's
subsequent verge of war" statement
were in measure educational, so that
the country would not wonder what it
was all about in event matters came
to the breaking point.

Nothing, in our opinion, is so liable

tory prices of Tobacco as the over
crowding of the market.
Our advice to you is, bring each
wagon load to market Just as soon as
you get it ready. Don't delay until
you get your whole crop, or the most
of it stripped. To do so will be a mis-
take.
A steady market is always better
than a glutted one. Don't get too
much here at once. AS our house is
the largest, we are helped most by a
rush; but. we know that what is not
good for you is not, in the long run,
good for us.

 That London should have unusual ideas as to society as far as authors are concerned, is due to the environ ment which Skysail Jack passed through, and not that to which was admitted the distinguished author whose war corresponding has been not marked with brilliance. The socialist party usually merits the de- signation of the party of freaks ana novelist in the ranks was tov great an attraction to be unex- plotted.
 It clears the air therefore for everyone that London is known as not the author of piece with which he had naught to do. It removes from London's reputation what he considers an aspersion and corrects a wholly wrong impression prevail ed favorably in radical quarters con cGrD1nR LOlAOu fAOW0 Ni iA'AA-et,' ism.
 Certainly one can reasonably ur- derstand that as war correspondent who was the author of an advice or very dubious kind to young sol dier. London would have been persona non grata to his military chiefs. The letter to the Army and Navy Journal would therefore func- tion usefully in removing any sucn an erroneous impression. It is no less desirable that the labor papers which have been printing with full some approval the "Canard" should also correct that.
 The Industrial Worker nev'r has been guilty of crediting London with the authorship of that piece. ] Without his denial it carried with lin itself elements which conveyed an idea of improbability as to the London authorshp. But none the less it finds a place for the denia' so that labor exchange may copy ano correct themselves.

 JACK LONDON. Possibly London's unique sciolo- gical opinions administered to the Bulletin with the cocKsurcness of any social quack long master of the art of phlebotomy, are better with out any comment But it is emil nently desirable that he should noc l-be so completely misunderstood as the credit of being tho author of what he is pleased to term "can- ard" should be undcservedly his. And neither labor nor socialist papers, any more than paporC de- voted to upstending fighting mon, gain anything which continue to perpetuate the fGlcc notion that London ever wrote such stuff.
 Jack London is a famous author
 He has written fow clever books in which are embodied few very clever ide2s of men end things, and that he has been writing around
 those few ideas ever since is not his | fault.
 His is the credit of having ability
 to exploit ccrtain very positive view of society as it stands, end We have no doubt hcd he the ability
 and the bre..ns he could function
 most efficiently as an American
 Bernhardi if he tried.
 That's no reascn however why an
 entirely different point of view oi men and things should be accredited to him than those which he doe:
 actually hold, and London's letter te the Army and Navy Journal certain lily does the working class justice II affirming the truth as we t'y to dt London justice in republishing 1t. l London may have exploited th'
 socialist movement a little, but th'
 socialist party hes without doub
 exploited London extravagantly
 Goodness knows how many social
 istic neophytes have been induced t
 road such stuff as Martin Eden an
 the Iron Heel by reason of the ex
 travagant praise extended to thes . works. Now when these parlo
 socialists are hoist with their ow petard, we hope they enjoy them
 selves.
 We don't want anyone to run ava with the notion that we decry tn great ability of London. Londo wrote The Call of the Wild, tha has never been matched as a nortr ern romance, and some of his shor' . CT stories are the equal in vigor an
