kidneys and whenever I overworked, my back panied

7 can't find words strong enough to praise Doan's
Kidney Pills. I have had backsche and trouble from
my kidneys acting irregularly. I have used Doan's

they have never failed to give the best of results. l
have often told others about them and those who
have taken them on my advice have had good re-
suits"

GIBBONS DECLARES
BELGIAN RIGHTS OF
FIRST IMPORTANCE

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-The rights
OF Belgium enter into the very heart
and essence Of the whole war. and
every claim Of justice must be met to
satisfy the conscience of humanity,
Cardinal Gibbons, Of Baltimore, de-
clared today.
The cardinals statement follows:
81 read with great satisfaction the
application OF the Pope's peace pro
posals published with the approval Of
the cardinal secretary of state, and
though they are given to the public
only now, still have reason to be-
lieve that they formed an integral
part of the pontifcal mind from the
very beginning. No plan OF society
emanating from the Holy See can be
considered complete that does not
recognize every claim Of Justice as far
as the ripeness of the times permits.
Though IL must be evident to every
thinking man that no peace can be
possible after a war as great and ter
rible as the present one, without q
spirit OF Cancellation and OF mutual
willingness to make concessions and
Combinations, still / think IL must be
held that that rule applies only to
matters Of detail and Of secondary i'm
portance, nor do ! believe that any
body will be disposed to consider the
rights of Belgium as q question OF
that kind. but rather OF the very first
Importance, entering into the heart
and essence OF the conflict where in
order to satisfy the conscience Of hu-
manity every claim OF justice must be
fully met and satisfied
Further, the clear statement Of the
cardinal secretary OF state that the
form Of government is to be left to the
free choice Of every people marks the
very corner stone Of civil liberty, and
II is my impression that that strong
confirmation Of the Holy See OF the
old American principle will give q
new impulse to civil liberty, the whole
wide world over"
