THAT BACKACHE SPELLS DAN.
GER!
Action Today May Save Maysville
People Future Misery.

A bad back isn't bad thing If it
serves as warning of hidden kidney
disorders. Kidney diseases are fright
fully common today. We override so
much. We don't give the kidneys a
chance to rest up, and while bad
back, some bladder disorder, an occa-
sional dizzy spell or a persistent head
ache may be the only outward sign,
the kidney trouble that is behind it
all may be overlooked or neglected.
Put your signs to use. Take them as
warnings. Fight of kidney weakness.
1t takes only slight kidney disorder
to start case of fatal Bright's dis
ease, from which 100000 people die in
the United States every year. Prompt
treatment at first-that's all that's ne
cessary to keep kidney weakness from
turning into gravel, dropsy, govt, heart
trouble or Bright's. Use Doan's Kid
ney Pills--the Oldest, the most widely
used, the ELECTROMAGNETIC Kidney
Pill. Forty thousand Americans rec
ommend them publicly. Here's one
MaysNille case:
Mrs. John Burns, w. Second st.,
Maysville, says: II was subject to
severe spells Of backache and other
kidney trouble. They would come on
every three or six months and there
were times when l was confined to bed
and rendered helpless. The quick and
decided benefit I received from Doan's
Kidney Pills was wonderful. have
never had such severe attacks since"
Statement given February 10, 1914.)
NO TROUBLE SINCE
On November Is, 1916, Mrs. Burns
said: 81 have the same good words
OF praise for Doan's Kidney Pills to-
day, as ever. have not needed kid
ney medicine since I took them"
Mrs. Burns is only one of many
Maysville people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. II your
back aches-if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for a kidney
'emedy- ask distinctly for DOAN'S
KIDNEY PILLS, the same that Mrs.
Burns has twice publicly recommend
ed-the remedy backed by home testi-
mony. Foster-Milburn Co., Props,

SCISSORS SHELLS
 TO CUT BARB WIRE
(Popular Science Monthlyl.

(Popular Science Monthly.
 There seems no limit to what the new shells can do One of the latest shells has a sort of scissors attachment which, when released by the eXplos- ion, will cut through the strongest wire entanglements. Another releases a number of short chains when it ex- plodes. These chains ar, sure to wreck anything they touch.
 The scissors shell has ali opening in the casing through which the cutting arms project. They are slightly re- cessed in order to avoid wind resist ance. The arms are attached near the nose of the projectile. They are mount ed on steel studs in such a manner that they can rock and expand in or der to throw the free end southward at the base of the shell.
 The fuse is made in the ordinary way and behind it is chamber for the explosive charge. The projectile is fired just as any shell is fired. The explosion releases the cutting arms and they cut through any object with devastating force.
 The chain shell is constructed simi- larly except that short chains are wound around the gaine and separated by discs which keep them ln place un- 1 til the projectile is empt3ed Some times the chains are weighted heavily at the ends. When the explosion takes place the chains fly out with fearful

SCENE OF CHAOS IN
 THE RUSSIAN DUMA

When 1 had last seen the Taurida Palace, in the summer of 1916, 1t still had the dignified and rather bureau
 cratic air which, in it's ten years of rather inglorious life, the Duma. had picked up from it's imperial surround ings. Grave old gentlemen in long coats, with the air of ancient club serv- ants, bowed as they took the strangers hat and stick, and within one was talk en in charge by the ushers, or pristacs, with silver chains round their necks. In the spacious lobby, once a. splendid ballroom, the deputies strolled and read, while in the Duma chamber it. self parliamentary business went on very much as it would in any similar assembly in the West.
 All this was gone now, and the place suggested a sort of cross between political convention and the Madison Square Garden toward the end of G. day bicycle race. The portico was dir ty and unswept, and at the door good natured soldier. seated with true tovarish ease, glanced at ones ticket of admission while calling to a passing delegate for a match. In the entrance hall and lobby were tables piled with radical literature of various sorts pamphlets, which, as every reader of the narratives of a decade ago well knows, used to be printed exclusively by beautiful Natashas and Olgas, and palefaced students hiding from the police in subcellars and attics, to which the enchanted explorer could penetrate only at dire peril, after passing barred doors land whispered passwords.

the sentiment of independence that brought the Protestant youth of Ulster
 into the Ulster volunteer force to re-
 sist, if necessary. the authority of the
 imperial parliament. The popular
 "unionist" motto was not Save US
 from home rule" but We won't have
 home rule.' The right and wise thing
 for England D do is to consent freely
 without grudge to the establishment of
 an Irish republic.
 What are the objections to this pro-
 posal? There are two of importance
 viz. that the military control Of Ire
 land is necessary to the security of Great Britain, and that the Ulster mi Eority require Great Britains protec-
 ton. The first objection to be justified must be brought under a general prin- cfple. and in this case the. general principle must be that a state or coun-
 try is entitled to hold military con- trol over another country for the sake of military advantage. Does this hold cut hope of a settlement? Can you imagine an Irish people SO mean spirited as to be content to inhabit a Helgoland of the Atlantic? Ireland is advised to forget the past even while acts of government in Ireland are making the past present and there they cannot understand Ireland. and some, because they cannot understand take refuge m setting tfie Irish people down as a perverse people. The sec ord objection that is the objection of Ulster requiring protection against the rest of Ireland. This has been the chief argument of late against Irish self government in any degree. It WAS rot always so. Some years ago the project of partition of granting home rule to Ireland with the exception of Ulster" was discussed by a Walter Long at a meeting of the Irish Unien- ist alliance. MT. Long secuted the pro- posa1 as the most futile that had yet been made in the home rule contro- versy. He stated amid appIa use that in self governing Ireland Ulster would be thoroughly well able to take care Of herSelf-a true and honest sta tement.

THE FRENCH ADVANCE.

It has been some time since the French forces have been engaged in a great offensive by themselves They
 have been doing some hard fighting along the various sectors of the west
 efn front and they have been of much
 assistance to the British in making
 the offensive in the Ypres region the
 success which it has been, but in their
 advance this week on the Aisne they
 have demonstrated that they have lost
 none of their fighting ability. It is
 possible that they have been resting and waiting for the right time to ar-
 rive when they could accomplish their object with the least loss of men. If such was the case there can be no question but what they were in full
 touch with the situation and fully cognizant of their power.
 Smashing through the German lines for distance of two miles, at a point where the best of the German troops were massed, is no small accomplish ment, but when it is carried out with the capture of nearly 5000 of the enemy forces and the gathering in of many large guns and war material, it showed how unbrepared the enemy was not only for such a move but for resisting it.
 General Petain has struck at an important point. He has struck har/ and every such drive into the terri tory held by the enemy serves to break down that already weakened morale which is known to exist in the eneny's forces. The German ar mics on the western front are slowly but surely being driven back It is being accomplished both by the French and by the British and the time is not far distant when the troops Of this country are going to take a hand in this fighting Every | blow of this kind counts, and counts heavily. in advancing the day of vic tory
