A BIT OF ADVICE
First-Don't Delay. Second
Don't Experiment

If you suffer from backache; head
aches or dizzy spells; if you rest
poorly and are languid in the morn
ing; if the kidney secretions are ir-
regular and unnatural in appearance,
do not delay. In such cases the kid
neys often need help.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
prepared for kioney trouble. They
are recommended by thousands. Can
Smyrna residents desire more convinc-
ing proof of their effectiveness than
the statement of this Smyrna citizen
who has used them and willingly tes-
titles to their worth?
r. A. Thompson, Commerce st. ,
Smyrna, says: ''Some years ago |
strained my back and after that was
troubled with lameness and stiffness.

The general public in Pennsylvania

tional Hymn Sung

Americans last night were cOunse.led
by Collector Dudley Field Malone to
keep their heads cool, their hearts free
from bitterness. their minds clear their
arms strong and their mouths shut
during the crisis with Germany. He
delivered a speech at the annual dinner
of the Far Western Travellers Assocla-
tion in the Hotel Aston
Let no man have any fear Of the
deep-seated character of our national
life" said Mr.. Malone. America is
dedicated to peace, but she is prepared
TO meet any emergency and any IN
yasion Of her rights. Tonight we stand
calm. filed with a holy belief in the
morality OF our cause, behind the
President of the United states.
America is unified to-day as she
has never before been in the history OF
the Republic. Let no man think that
America has not patriotism to realize
her purpose AMI uphold the principles
Of the Republic.
"The man who spreads baseless
vicious rUmors Is reasonable char
acter and an enemy TO the country
The heart OF America is not hostile. and
in the hearts of Americans there is no
hatred Of any foreign nation
Mr. Malone's speech and similar ut
-erances by the Rev. Warren Z. Giles,
pastor of the First Reformed Church
of East Orange, y. J.. evoked a long
demonstration from the 1000 men who
attended the dinner.
Three men dressed in Revolutionary
costume and typifying the spirit Of

speech with an appeal to Americans 70

Austrian Note to Cause
Break Soon with u. ),

Washington, Feb. 5.-A break in Dip
lomatic relations with Austria-Hun-
gary is only a matter of hours. The
Austrian note announcing a programme
Of submarine frightfulness similar to
tina. of Germany is in President VIII
sons hands. Officials refuse 70 discuss
II until he has acted.
Count Adam Tarnowski, the new Aus
tro-Hungarian Ambassador, will not be
received by President Wilson. Il IS IN
derstood. He Will leave for home,
probably IN the same ship with Count
Won Pernstorff, without having per-
formed his functions as envoy here.
4 delicate question IS before the
State Department for decision. II IS
whether the passports will be handed
20 Count Tarnowski or 20 Baron 1--WE
d.nek. the recognized Charge d'Ahalres
OF Austria, who has been in charge OF
the embassy since the dismissal Of Dr..
Constantin Dumba. in 1915. Technical
~. perhaps, Baron Zwiedinek should
receive the passports and Count lar
nowski be included merely as member
Of his suite. but the department PROB
ably viii stretch a point IN the new
ambassadors honor and give MIN de-
gree Of recognition by making the pass
ports out in mis- name.
Whether the Turkish Embassy, IN
charge of Hussein Bey. and the bul o.
garian Legation, headed by Minister
Stephan Panaretof, will follow depends
on whether the Turkish and Bulgarian
r.o,errn1ents subscribe 10 the pro-
s,ramue OF submarine frightfulness. In
case of war with Germany or Austria,
However. relations would be broken OF
with ali the Central Powers, though
war might be declared only on the
power offending by an overt act.
