Although Mr.. Astor joined the pa
troll last summer, his interest seemed
more in airplane training. He en-
rolled last May in the aeronautical
corps of the Second Naval Reserve
battalion and helped to raise $4,000
for hydro-airplane. The year before
he had a hydro-airplane built and was
taught to operate it by his pilot, Cliff

What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH.

Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition OF the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of
serious illness, makes chemical analy-
sis of the patients urine. He knows that
unless the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health sta
tistics, Bright's Disease, which is really
an advanced form of kidney trouble,
caused nearly ten thousand deaths in one
year, in the State of New York alone.
Therefore, it is particularly necessary to
pay more attention to the health of these
important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as kidney remedy
is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
The mild and healing influence of this
preparation, in most cases, is soon real
lied, according to sworn statements and
verified testimony of those who have used
the remedy.
When your kidneys require attention,
get Swamp Root at once from any phar-
macy. 1t is sold by every druggist in
bottles of two sizes-50c and $l.0O.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DIR.

The contest is under the supervi-
sion of the state, and the legislature
granted $4,000 for running expenses.
There has also been received $4,000 In
entry fees, and as additional money
will accrue from the sale of the eggs
for the next three years the affair is
well financed.
All previous egg-laying contest rec
Ords were broken in the first six
weeks. The total production for the
six weeks ending December II was

fessor Lewis has been commended by
all the leading poultry authorities of
the country for his initiative in widen
ing the scope of egg-laying contests,
and enhancing their scientific value by
adding the breeding feature and
lengthening the period from one year
to three.

Billy Bunny and His Friends

I bunny could play with you, but yours
q fairy!" And then the little rabbit
gave big sigh and wiggled his pinA
nose sideways and backward and this
way and that till the little fairy cried.
"Oh please stop. You make me dizzy"
And after that she waved her wand
two or four times, and maybe once
more and all Of sudden q lot Of bum
MES came hopping toward them. And
some were in little automobiles and
some were on ponies, and some had
lots and lots of lollypops and peanuts.
And then they began to sing:
ooh we are fairy Dummies,
And we'll love to play with you.
But one thing you must promise
To never, never do.
And that is you must never tell
You met US In this shady DELL"
"Oh, I'll promise, I'll promise. said
the little lonely bunny prince. and
after that he played with them TIL the
sun went down.
CASTLE said tho little fairy. But Of
course the little bunny prince didn't
want to. '>Oh, you must" said the
fairy, "but some other day when you
are very. very lonely you may come
again." SO the little rabbit said good
by and hoped away.
"There," said good kind Uncle Lucky
"how do you like my story. But, would
you believe 1t, Billy Bunny was fast
asleep.l ~

Well the kind old gentleman rabbit
sat down by Billy Bunny's bed and be-

how it went: A
'Once upon time there was q little
bunny who lived in a great big castle.
for he was the son Of a king. you know,
king of all the Dummies. But this little
rabbit prince never had any fun, for
his father wouldn't let him play with
anybody but bunny princes. and as
there was only one bunny prince near
by this little bunny I'm telling you
about was often dreadfully lonely.
So one day he slipped away from the
castle and went deep into the woods.
And after he had hoped along for
maybe a mile and maybe q lot more he
said:
ooh, dear me, wish there was
somebody to play with"
It'll play with YOU said q tiny voice.
But the little rabbit couldn't see any
body.
WHO are your" he said. and he
looked under a stone and behind tree
and up in the sky.
Here I am. said the tiny. voice
again, and little fairy jumped out
from behind fern and waved her
silver wand.

bunny prince. IF you were only a

The RUSSIAN !. W. ".

Russia is in a state of anarchy and
chaos. The monarchy which had con-
stituted its government for centuries
has been abolished and nothing has
been substituted as yet which all Of
the people are willing 70 accept. Until
time has brought an orderly govern
mob rule and that must be understood
before current developments can be
understood
Charles E. Russell, socialist lecturer
who went to Russia as a member Of
the recent Root commission, says that
the maximalists who dominated the
one city of Petrograd yesterday are
like unto the I. w. W. in this country.
They may be strong in some one 10
cality but they do not dominate the
United States.
Russell thinks that much of the
news as to Russia and it's desire for
a separate peace IS inspired by Ger
man press agents and that was the
view as TO news or the western front
held by Senator Lafayette Young after
he had visited the battle fields in
France. Germany is strong for press
bureau news
It is highly probable that we shall
see what we shall see as to Russia
later on. The impression is growing,
however that pure democracy is not
practicable for a people so wholly I'M
prepared for self government as the
1870 millions Of Russians. 1t may be
that a constitutional monarchy or car
limited by representative parliament
will have to be set UP in order to gov
ern country like Russia The former

It isn't question Of religion" q
most folks use the word but OF plain
common sense ana precaution. SO fai
as the religious aspect Of 1t Is con-
cerned religion Is mostly BELIEF IN
God and a trust in His mercy. 1T is
as much physical as mental. Morality
is both physical and mental. The re-
ligious side of this work is mainly
moral religion upon which we all agree.
This Y. work in the army is human
welfare and when you have said hui
man welfare you have included practi-
cally all Of the religion of Jesus Christ
who was the Great Welfare Worker.
You are to be asked for money to
carry on this work. It is proper that
you should be asked. If you have sons
and friends In the army that's a
good reason. II. your family and
friends have no volunteer nd
have escaped the call that Is another
and bigger reason why you should be
asked and why you should contribute
freely. This work Is as much part
of patriotic effort and patriotic duty as
the Liberty bonds. There Is no excuse
that will suffice for its denial than
would suffice for denial Of the bonds.
1t is part of the war. Part of the COM
mon duty.

AT CAMP DODGE.

lDeS MONIES Tr1bune.J
No reader of The Evening Tribune
can spend day more profitably than
in visit to Camp Dodge.
The camp hospital covering sub
stantially fort yacres is q wonderful
collection Of buildings. An enclosed
corridor connects every building with
every other building. and the whole
forty acres can be walked over under
roof.
In this camp. as In every camp,
by far the larger number Of boys
who come to the hospital come be-
cause Of venereal diseases. Many
bring these diseases with them, and
many contract them after they come.
Altho Camp Dodge is freer from bad
surroundings than any OF the camps,
neither the city nor the county is do
ing half what ought to be done to keep
the surroundings clean.
Nobody gains anything by deceiving
himself Des Moines Is cleaner than
most cities Of its size. But 1t is mere
pretense to say that bad conditions do
not abound in Des Moines and about
the camp. These conditions will stead
lily grow worse II they do not grow bet
ter. There is no point Of stationary
equilibrium in such things.
The dining halls of the camps are
models Of cleanliness and good or
der. The bills Of fare are carefully
preserved in each company ahll
every meal IL figured In ccost to the
penny and the record Of the meal put
on the bill of fare. A permanent rec
ord is thus made for every day Of the
year. There is the variety Of food
one would expect to find in the average
, country hotel, and better cooked. Army
bread can not be duplicated in many
homes in Des Moines.
The Evening Tribune believes army
clothes have something to do with the
improved appearance Of the newly ar.
rived soldiers. Nothing can be SLOUGH
Ter than the average il1-iltting civilias
coat and pantaloons. On the Other
hand. the khaki suit Is built to make
man straight and keep him straight
In any event, It is a great transforma-
| ton a few weeks work in the looks Of
| the men. In few weeks the awkward
squad has become line Of outstanding
powerful, prompt, and alert youn1
men who know what they are about.
The impressive thing about the
camp is the air Of intelligence OF tbs
| men. It IL easy to read culture
training. college life, professional life
| In the faces of thousands. not only Of
the officers, but OF the men In the
ranks. Moreover. the average man has
clean cut face, indicating the sort OF
gray matter that responds quickly tc
new situation.
Nobody will have any feeling Of
pessimis1n about our American life who
will stand for half an hour and see the
regiments march by and look at the
men. It IS not merely physical sta

Also consider that he is your boy and
