AN APPEAL To SYMPATHETIC
HEARTS.
Editor News-Times

Editor News-Times:
Please permit me TO voice a few
sentiments in the form Of an appeal
TO your readers for the benefit of
millions OF Polish people now suffer-
ing starvation as a result of the pro-
tracted duration Of the most inhu-
man war the world has ever known.
now raging in Poland between the
Russian and the Austro- German
armies Indeed, the whole world is
shocked with the great devastation
this most appalling European war is
causing in localities TO which II has
spread / wish TO call the attention
% the kind and sympathetic readers
OF this newspaper 10 the suferings
of the Polish war victims in partic-
ular, whose whole motherland is
shamefully devastated by the battles
between the aforesaid two warning
armies, as my aim and purpose of
appealing to you, kind reader. is to
beseech you and all sympathetic per-
sons in the interest of these poor
people and ask your kind aid for the
unfortunate Polish victims of a most
cruel and CHASTITY war.

There's nothing more annoying
than kidney weakness or inability to
properly control the kidney secre-

backache, headache and dizziness, life
is indeed, burden. Doan's Kidney
Pills have given peace and comfort
to many Emmett people. Profit by
this Emmett residents experience.
