Kidney sickness often runs you

Weak kidneys slacken their filter

TRAIN TAKEN OFF
AS WAR MEASURE
Discontinuance Of Evening Service
at Prairie du Sac Great Incon-
yenience to the Public

Since Monday evening there has
been no evening train service on the
Mazomanie-P Prairie du Sac branch, i.
e., the train which arrived here at
$50 and Immediately returned to
Mazomanie has been discontinued.
The discontinuance of this evening
service materially inconvenience the
travelling public and depriEes the pub
lie in general of obtaining the even
ing mail-the heavies mail of the day
among which are our daily papers.
It also handicaps stock shippers, as
it is impossible to get all stock in
and loaded for the afternoon train.
A petition protesting against the in
adequate service, signed by over one
hundred citizens, was sent to P. c..
Eldridge, general superintendent, and
in response Mr.. Eldridge says that
the change in service on the line be-
tween MaZomanie and Prairie du Sac
is made necessary with the orde,s Of
the National Council of Defense COM
mittee on railroads, and refers to the
councils orders, of which a copy was
attached to his letter. The council
of defense has issued the orders to
secure the maximum transportation
energy for moving coal, food, mate
rial and troops necessary for a sue
cessful conduct of war. The third
paragraph of the railroads war board
orders reads as follows: "On light
and branch lines, where two or more
passenger train are, operated, try to
reduce to one train day"
Mr.. Eldridge's letter further states:
eff the service which we have inaug-
urated is not satisfactory and it can
be changed and still make the same
reductions we shall be very agreea-
BILE to your suggestions"
We agree with the railroad COM
pany that on receipt of such orders
it was necessary for them to make re-
auctions, and we also understand that
it is inevitable that from time to time
the war board must recommend the
adoption OF policies which will cur
tail conveniences the public has pre-
viously enjoyed, and the people Of
this community who are served by
the Prairie du Sac branch
ungrudgingly sacrifice the personal
inconvenience in this matter.
But, with practically the same ne
auctions it is possible to give us bet
ter service with a revised schedule
and also make the shipping OF live
stock, which is very important faos-
tor at the present time, more conven'.
lent and reasonable. Therefore petit
tfons are being circulated here and at
Sank City asking for the return of
the former service On Mondays
stock day. On other days, the pc
titioners request the discontinuance
of the outgoing evening train and the
holding over Of the same until next
morning at 1880 o'clock in preference
to no evening train at aE-Sauk Coun-
ty News.

afoot and we will see plenty OF action

Boche Helmet Is Souvenir
Rowley mentions that he is making
collection of war stamps for the his
torical museum. He also writes that
he got a Boehe helmet that weighs
about five pounds which he is going to
keep for a souvenir. In another letter
he has heard that everything is war;
here in the United States.
"Why you don't know what war is,
| he says. ssWar is worse THAI hell; it
| is hell combined with the scientific
deyilishness of the Boches, which
makes it lower and more hellish than
, hell could possibly be. You should see
