ARE YOU RHEUMATIC?
Many Pangs That Pass for Rheuma. tism Are Really Due to Weak
 Kidneys.

Is it rheumatism?
 Not every pain is.
 Weak kidneys let uric acid collect
 Uric acid causes many queer pains
 In the thigh it's sciatica;
 In the back, lumbago;
 In the nerves, neuritis.
 Gout, gravel, dropsy are uric trou- bles
 When you suspect the kidneys use Doan's Kidney Pills
 The home-recommended remedy.
 Pine Bluff testimony is the best proof.
 Read this Pine Bluff woman's story:
 Mrs. F. M. Smith, 11O5 Alabama street, says: "I had symptoms of weak kidneys the greater part of my life. I suffered from a steady, dull ache in my back and at times I had awful shooting pains through my lions. l had rheumatic twinges in my arms and shoulders and my kidneys acted too freely. A few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills soon relieved me and l kept on using them, taking about six boxes in all. My back has not bothered me since and I have felt better in every way"
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don', simply ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Smith had. Foster -Milburn Co.,, Props, Buffalo, N. Y.-Adv.

BROOKLYN BRIDGE BIRTHDAY.

New York, May 25.-The Brooklyn bridge started on the thirty-fifth year .of it's career today. It was on this 'dase in 1883 that the great cable struc- ture spanning the East river between Manhattan and Brooklyn was first op- ened to regular traffic. At first de- signed only for horse-drawn vehicles and foot passengers, the bridge for many years past has carried hundreds of electric cars and heavily laden ele- vated trains back and forth daily. De- spite the additional burden imposed upon the bridge the experts who con- duct periodical examinations of it's cables and other parts declare that the strength of the structure has never been impaired in the least by it's many years of service.

PICKING THE SOLDIERS.

Some of our citizens have been inquiring to know why the govern ment requirements as to the physic:t :tl fitness of soldiers is so stringent that most young men cannot pass the medical examinations.
 A talk with any military man will make this perfectly clear.
 To be an efficient soldier requires tremendous stamina; and no person not physically sound in every par ticular can stand the strain without breaking down.
 Soldiers often are forced to go without sleep for from IS to 72 hours many the army man who has gone without sound sleep for three days and three nights. Sometimes they so for weeks with as little as four to six hours sleep. A hitch in the com munications frequently brings day or two without much food. The strain on men is tel rific-nothing like it was ever found in civic en- ployments.
 When # is realized that the aver- age army mule or the horse used T active service in Europe today stands the strain for only month )r so before "caving in" and being use less for further service, the strain on the men can be well imagined.
 It is for this reason that the men going to the front must be fit for the job. It does the government no goo to accept men and fin0 them laid up in hospitals at the first brush. Too much of this has been going on in England already, and not from any fronts has there been hint of low ering the physical standard If na- tion has no more physically fit men it must quit fighting-that is all there is about that.
 The physically unfit however, can do as much for their country as those at the front; at least in sense. They can fit themselves into the economic, industrial and financial warfare, and in this way "do their bit" with satisfaction to their coun- try.
 It is pity that war demands the best and most perfec, in manhood: but so it has ever been.

Our land forces at that time were fearfully mismanaged ill the commis- sary departments. The army beef scandal was so odor;ferous that it's memory still fingers.
 We enter the present war in a diff ferent spirit, with new methods, bet ter efficiency. The selective draft is applied the first time in our his- tory, and the most remarkable thing has been that virtually everybody is in favor of it. This gives us great- CT power, of course, and under 2 more democratic system. We have become convinced that the volunteer system favors the stacker at the ex pense of the patriot. We didn't think so in 1S9S,. and up to few years ago unbeatable and the only kind we needed. Our ideas in this respect have changed since as recently as 1914.
 In 1898 surface ships were supreme On the sea. The subr. arine was not developed and not considered a naval possibility. Now our most baffling problem is the submarine. Instead of seeking an enemy that could be seen, as in 1898, we seek sea-foe that does his most murderous work when unseen.

PATENT ON SERVICE FLAGS.
Protest of Brattleboro Firm Reveals
Surprising Condition

\ Washington special to the New
York Times of today says:
A patent granted by the United
States on a design for service flag
is being cited as giving one concern
executive control of service flags of
that design. This was brought out by
a letter to the New York Times from
a firm ii Brattlcboro, VT, which had
been notified that the sale Of service
flags carried with it the payment Of a
ROYALTY Of 10 per cent to the holder of
the patent on the design.
Inquiry at the patent office today
showed that a design patent OF serv
ice flag had been granted to l.. Queis-
ser OF Cleveland, Ohio, and notice of
il printed in the Patent Office Gazette
OF Nov. &. TO the same patentee was
granted a patent on watch fob sery-
Ice flag design. 1t was said a. the pa
tent office that no other patent for a
service flag design had been granted
In its letter TO the Times the Brat
tleboro firm said:
Our firm has been selling service
flags for some time. Today our manu-
facturers write us that they have Just
been advised that there is a patent
on the United States service flag and
that they will be obliged to pay a
royalty of 70 per cent on all such
flags sold, therefore prices would nee
essarily be advanced 10 per cent
I'VE are astonished to learn that
this flag, adopted by the government,
recommended by the President, and
sold mostly to mothers whose sons are
in the service should be the private
monopoly Of some individual.
The explanation was made at the
patent office that a precedent for
granting the design patent on a scrv-
lee flag was found in the case Of spe.
cial flags for yachts or other ships
which wcrc protected from infringe
ment by design patents. The state
ment was made that the patent office
would not grant a design patent on
any flag based on the design Of the
American standard, but the service
4 flag to show war service Of individ.
uals was not regarded as following the
| design of the Stars and Stripes.
The patent office is unwilling to pass
upon the question whether any service
! flag similar in design to that patented
is protected by the patent design
That is n matter, it was said, whlcl
must be passed upon by the courts.
