HELPFUL WORDS
From a Pine Bluff Citizen.

From a Pine Bluff Citizen.
 Is your back lame and painful?
 Does it ache especially after exer- tion?
 Is there a soreness in the kidney region?
 These symptoms suggest weak kid neys.
 If so there is danger in delay.
 Weak kidneys get fast weaker.
 Give your trouble prompt atten- ton.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys.
 Your neighbors use and recommend them.
 Read this Pine Bluff testimony.
 Mrs. w. K. Lambeth, 1901 East Sixth street, says: q, and others of the family have used Doan's Kidney Pills for troubles caused by weak kid :. |neys, such as pain in the back, dizzy spells, headaches and irregular kidney action. Doan's have always brought prompt relief. We are never without a box of Doan's Kidney Pills in the house and generally get them at the Mann -Tankersley Drug Co.," Price' 5Oc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Lambeth recommends. Foster Milburn Co.,, Props, Buffalo, N. Y.- Adv.

WATCHFUL WAITING.

The people of these United States have been watchfully waiting ever since the fateful day we entered the war.
 The army and navy has shown in- creased enlistments, but there has been no pellmell scramble to join either.
 The truth probably is that our young men are "sitting tight" until they divine the prospect for action. There seems to be a feeling among them that they would Lot like to tie themselves up for a term of years only to find that in few weeks or possibly months the life they select cd would return to the humdrum routine of peace times.
 And while this feeling has halted the impulse of our young men to- ward doing their bit for their coun- try, congress hasn't helped the situ- ation to any extent. Our congress- men likewise seem to have adopted the policy that the president dis carded since the difficulties with Mexico year or two ago. Debate and discussion has swayed their ac- tions. There has been much talk O! army and navy appropriation bills loans and conscription but definite action has been slow cnd intellectual
 Tn the meantime the country is running a chance of having the war sserow stale" on its hands; enthusi- asm grow dim; patriotism reach the let George do it" stage, if it isn' :. there already.
 However, it's our way of doing business; we undoubtedly prefer dis. cussion to precipitate action. And in the meantime the decisive battles of the war are being fought and the whole thing may be over before we decide what we are going to do about helping.

Congressman Sam Taylor sends The Graphic copy of the New York Americans editorial page, containin., 8 half page editorial supporting tho Americans prediction that the war will soon end.
 The American, which predicted the overthrow of the Russian dynast, three weeks before that event oc. cured, bases it's forecast of peace on the prospects of food famine next year. if the war continues that long and on the revolutionary aspirations and sentiments powerfully moving the European masses, including the soldiery."

"OUR FIGHTING lMEN".
