WHAT'S The REASON?
Many WiIImar People in Poor Health
Without Knowing the Cause.

There are scores of people who drag
out miserable existence without real
izing the cause Of their suffering. Day
after day they are racked with back
ache and headache; suffer from nerv-
BUSINESS, dizziness, weakness, languor
and depression. Perhaps the kidneys
have fallen behind in their work of
altering the blood and that may be the
root of the trouble. Look to your kid
neys-assist them in their work-give
them the help they need Your can
use no more highly recommended
remedy than Doans Kidney Pills. i,
Below is grateful testimony from a
sufferer in this locality.
Mrs. Andrew Silverberg, Litchfield,
Mimi, says: Il had dull ache across
my loins and my back was so lame and
sore that it hurt me to bend over. l
tried everything to relieve the misery,
but failed until took Doan's Kidney
sis. They not only brought relief,
1T made my kidneys normal and took
away all signs of the trouble. When
have taken cold or have worked hard
since, have felt touch Of backache,
eJut few doses of Doan's Kidney
Pills have always cured the attack. !
know of no other kidney medicine that
could take the place Of Doans Kidney
Pills.
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy-get
DOan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mrs. Silverberg uses. Foster -Milburn

Much Too Much,

We eat too much. We heat too much.
We try too much. to beat too much.
We growl too much. We scowl too
much. We play the midnight owl too
much.
We cape too much. We cape too much
and daily with red tape too much. We
treat too much and cheat too much
and fear to face defeat too much.
We buy too much. We lie too much
and snivel and deny too much. We
have too much and slave too much,
with one foot in the grave too much.
We sit too much. We spit too much,
wear shoes too tight to fit too much.
We mess too much and dress too much,
in sixteen suits or less too much.
We spite too much. We fight too
much and seek the great White light
too much. We read too much. We
speed too much, hit dope and use the
weed too much. We drink too much.

Scrapinq q Bat.

Baseball players are as superstitous
as Zulus. In no way is this more lucid
ly Illustrated than in the care which
some Of them lavish upon an ordinary
baseball bat. Manufacturers, says the
Popular Science Monthly, oil and shell
lac their bats to make them sleek and
fresh, and the superstit1ous baseball
player proceeds to use glass, bone,
sandpaper and what not to remove the
finish. Why? Oh, lust because" to
give a woman's reason. He may have
a notion that the bat will last longer
without it. But the truth is that the
shellac really acts as preservative of
the wood.
Some baseball players imagine that it
is impossible to make strong hit with
a new bat, because the bat is so sleek
that the balls glance of it. Others be-
ueve that scraping bat flls up the
crevices and cracks and thus lengthens
the life Of the bat.

PROBABLY NO SECOND
DRAFT UNTIL NEW YEARS
1T Is Not Thought Likely That First
Army Will Tax Resources
. Until Then,

There will probably not be sec
ond draft until after New Years and
maybe not until spring. The first
army which will number 6S7 900 men
will be IN the training camps the first
part Of October. The effort to care
for all these men, equip them and
feed them is going to tax the capacity
of the government so much that it
can not take second army until this
first army is looked after properly
General CrOwder, who is in charge OF
this department., says no plans for a
second army have been made as yet
and may nO< be made until
next spring. The next army will he
the same size as the first one drawn
so that a Kandiyohi county drafted
man who has not been already called
can figure that il his number is below
800 he is liable to get into the sec
Ond army.
Every man certified to the army
must pass a second physical exami
nation by army surgeons at the army
training camps before he is definitely
In the forces OF the u S. army. While
the chances are small that a man
passed by the local physical examin
Ing board will be rejected by the ar
my board, nevertheless the fact re-
mains that man is not a soldier un
til he has passed this second exam1
nation at the training camp.

CONDITIONS IN GREECE.

Editor Tribune: John Pleachas of
Goveza, Macedonia, Greeee visited
with the writer last Wednesday eve
ming while enroute to visit his uncles
at Raymond. He left his native coun.
try a short time ago. l met him at
the depot and we enjoyed a good chat
after which Mr.. Pleachas went to a
hotel for the night. l was very glad
to have the chance to speak to him
about conditions in the old country.
asked him if the people of Greece
were pro-German or pro-Greece. He
says the people did not wish to throw
themselves into this war into which
Dictator Venzelos was trying to throw
their country. l asked him about the
feelings of the Greek people in re-
gard to King Constantine after >he
was forced out by the allies and Die
tator VenZelos to abdicate his throne.
He said the people were sorry that
he did not lose his throne by his own
people and not by the allies and Die
tator Venzelos. He thought Constan.
tine might become President OF
Greece. l asked him if King Constan.
tine was popular with his own pe0.
pie and he answered "yes.' He re-
ports the food conditions be serious
owing to the fact that they have the
Allies on one side and the Germans,
Bulgarians and Turks on the other
and they take everything from the
Greek people which is raised by them
The people in this country think the
Greek people to be pro-German and
that King Constantine is pro-German,
but Mr.. Pleachas says they are pro
Greece-American. King Constantine
has been sent into exile. But let us
send Venzelos into exile and let the
Greek people decide for themselves
whether they desire to have King
Constantine or Dictator Venzelos rule
them
President Wilson says, mo people
must be forced under sovereignty un-
der which it does not wish to live"
The people Of Greece are willing to
pay any money to leave their country
and come to the United States.

WANTS TO BUY HORSES
A Suggestion to Earmers' Shipping
Associations.


Associations.
The Cokato livestock shippers as
sociation has been informed that the
government is planning to buy about
250,0OO army horses. They will buy
direct from farmers, If they will as
semble their horses in carload lots or
more. In the past, army horses have
been accumulated by dealers, who
sold them to the government. There
has been spread Of from $40 to
$85 between the price received by
farmers and that paid by the govern
ment. Under the new plan, it is hop
ed to save this spread to the farmers
and the government.
The argument is made that it IS
necessary for some one to get the
horses together, so that the army men
can look them over and buy them and
that the farmers are we'll enough or
ganized to get their horses together
in carload lots and sell them direct.
The government will buy geldings,
from S to 8 years old, weighing from
$50 to 100 pounds. It will buy no
white or gray horses. The animals
must be sound and suitable for cavs
airy, light or heavy artillery pur-
poses.
The directors of the local shipping
association have decided to cooper
ate with the government, and will
make plans to ascertain if carload
can be secured from this vicinity, to
be shipped in from three to five
weeks. Further arrangements will be
made known later.-Cokato Enter

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
rolls how to loosen a tender corn
or callus so it lifts out
without pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is re-
ieved and soon the entire corn or cal
lus, root and all, lifts off with the fin
gers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap-
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or cal
. fus without inflaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin. A small
bottle of freezone will cost very little
at any of the drug stores, but will posi-
lively rid ones feet of every hard or
soft corn or hardened callus. If your
druggist hasn't any freezone he can get
il ct any wholesale drug house for you.

The Order of the Thistle is Scotch
order Of ancient origin. Tradition has
it that It was established A. D. 787 as
the result of a vision of a bright cross
seen inthe heavens by Achaius, king
Of the Scots, and Hungus, king Of the
Picts, while they were engaged In
prayer on the night before the battle
with Athelstan,> king of England. So

1857 by James II. of England by the
appointment Of eight knights.
The order collapsed, but was revived
by Queen Anne on Dec. 81, 1903! In
1927 It was decreed that the member
ship should consist Of the sovereign
and sixteen knights, but others Of the

was in service in the Civil War, by
