tant byproduct Of beet sugar manufac-
ture from a financial standpoint, but is

DECLARING War.

There is a real distinction between
declaring war and declaring that
state of war exists. A government de-
clares war when 1t purposes to make
war on another cou~try. It declares
that state Of war exists, as the Unit
ed States did when another government
had already attacked it.

on a short furlough. Of the 800 boys
who enlisted with him in this regi-
ment when war was declared all but
ten have been killed in the service
and he and one other companion have
serious wounds. He was the head
bomb thrower in his regiment and for
good portion of the war has been in
the first line of trenches with the Ger
mans only 13 yards away. In one
regiment every man in his trench ex-
cept himself was killed. He escaped
unframed but later lost his thumb
and two fingers on his right hand.
For this injury he was discharged by
the English government, which, how
ever, retains his services for guard
duty. His stories of the German
atrocities are similar to many others
already printed and on one battlefield
he lay as if dead while the Germans
came all around him and killed all the
wounded soldiers they could find.

Signs of Danger
That Should Be Needed by Barton
PEOPLE.

There's serious danger in neglect
ing any weakness of the kidneys. The
warning nature gives should not be
overlooked If troubled by too fire.
quent passage of the kidney secre-
tions; burning or scalding; if the Sc
cretions are highly colored and con-
tain sediment when left standing-if
you have backache, too, with frequent
headaches and dizziness, make up
your mind that your kidneys are af-
fected and begin using some reliable
kidney remedy. Deaths from kidney
disease have increased in the United
States alone, 72 per cent in the last
20 years. The risk is great, you
can't afford to delay. Barton people
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills. Can
you ask for better proof Of merit than
the statement Of this Barton resi-
dent?
Jas. C. Healey, millwright, High
Street, Barton, says: ''Some time
ago my back started to ache and my
kidneys became disordered. had read
of the good Doan's Kidney Pills had
done others, so I bought some at
Pierce's pharmacy. One box cured
me of the trouble and 1 am glad to
recommend this medicine"
