CRYING FOR HELP
Lots of It in Alaska But Daily
 Growing Less.

The kidneys often cry for help.
 Not another organ in the whole boTs- more delicately constructed;
 Not enc more important to health
 ThS kidneys are the filters of the blood.
 When they fail the blood be- comes foul and poisonous.
 There can be no health where there is poisoned blood.
 Backache is one of the frequent indications of kidney trouble.
 It is often the kidneys cry for help. Heed it.
 Read what Doan's Kidney Pills have done for overworked kidneys.
 Proot of merit in the following statement:

Standing in one position so much was hard on my back and kidneys. At times could hardly stand up straight. After I had taken 8 box or two Of Deans Kidney Pills, my back felt as strong as ever"

Making a Hot Compress.

In the American Journal of Nursing Elizabeth Robertson gives the follow ing directions for making a hot con- press: Wet the compress with tepid water, then iron it rapidly with a very hot flatiron. This produces sufficient steam to hold more heat and obyiates the necessity of wringing out excess siyely hot cloths.

MARY AND JOHN

The increase of domestic infelicitE as reflected by the growing habit of divorce, is made the subject of in- 'eresting observations and good ad- vice by aKthleen Norris, who has written a Christmas letter to dis conterted housewives, for the Pic tOriaI Review.
 The la.est national statistics in dicated that one of every twelve couples are divorced, and the re- suit Of the next census may bring this ratio down to one out of every ten couples.
 Mrs. Norris finds that men, en- srcssed in business life, endure its mouoto1y much better than women who 'rud housework and home form of unendurable punishment, after sore years of drudgery.
 T suppose most women would like everything in their lives chang ed once 2 year, and know some who would tear up all roots often CT than that" writes Mrs. Norris. But the man of the house never changes, nor sees the need for change. Being a woman, his wife eyes him patiently or morosely' or indignantly, as her nature de crees, and looks forward with sort of terrcr to the long, unaltering years +o come. He has no further surprises for her, and as the years go by, hls yirtures are taken more and more for granted, and his faults are more and moro evident. He is gOOi, of course; he is kind and true, put he tells jokes she has heard twenty times; he never touch es fish. and he is fussy when his feet got wet. She feels that she could endure violence and neglect for a while, anything for change"
 Life is not the simple, practical existence Of the earlier days, or of even fifty years ago, when the woman who had a home, plenty of food, and raiment for her comfort, had all that was attainable. At this stage of modern life these neces- sites are only starters. There IS a great, bright world of luxury, of amusement, Of pleasure, all about us. Then there Is the new expan- sion of woman's rights, her grow ing power of citizenship, her en- trance into the activities of modern life on a plane with man. All these sometimes make the dead level of home and housew0rk decidedly irk- some.
 People who undertake to live a lifetime together assume great responsibility. There is need for charity and the utmost patience, and there is need for man and wife to be Lusy with wholesome tasks for heads and hands.
 The things that make for inhar- mony are trifles. In an hour most Of them are forgotten, yet many men and women suffer their lives to be determined by them. The

B1ouses are like people-to get themselves talked about they must either be exceptionally good or exceptionally bad. Our Qualitee blouses are getting themselves talked about. and it is the kind of talk that is gratifying to us--so you can judge for yourself whether it Is good talk or not.
 "Qualitee" is our own name. And "Qualitee" blouses are our own blouses. They are not made by us-they are made for us. We specify of what they are to be made, with what they are to be trimmed, and how they are to be made. No "Qualitee" blouse is made of anything but French voile. No "Qualitee" blouse is trimmed with any laces other than Birkin's. There are always new styles from which to select and now for today we offer two just arrived ones with con vertible collars.

DECORATIONS OF BELGIAN
 WORKMEN CONTINUES
But at Slightly Lower Rate Than
 Previously.

The Hague, Jan. 30, via London, 6.17 D. m.-The deportations of Belgian workmen continue, but at a slightly lower rate than previously, according to information from an unquestiona- bIe source. It is said that the depor- tations from Brussels are now being made at the rate of about $50 men daily. Many of these men, it is al- legged, are not idiers but skilled work men who have been engaged for at least part of tfe1r time in their trade.
 In some provinces the Belgians, it is said. are adopting methods of pas sive resistance in efforts to escape deportation. This resistance takes the form of failing to appear at the ap- pointed place for examination. Out of 1,70O men called in five comnunes near MalineS, not more than one-half presented themselves. Thereupon the German military authorities arrested three prominent men in each com mune, holding them as hostages until the appearance of the absentees, who in the meantime were hunted by squads of soldiers.
 In Brussels many of the summoned men who failed to appear are now in hiding.
 About one thousand Belgians con nected with the work of the Ameri- can Relief mmission-members of provincial and communal committees or helpers in storehouseS, mills or soup kitchensEhave been deported to Ger many over the strong protest of the commission. As a result of vigorous protests, however, a few of these men have been turned to their homes and no others are being taken

TO BE WARNED
 TO KEEP OFF ARMED SHIP
Teutonic Allies to Send Communica
 tion to State Department.

Washington, Jan. 30.-Information has reached here that Germany and
 her allies are considering communi-
 eating to the state department a vir
 tualh warning that Americans should
 belligerent nations. This became to-
 official circles yesterday that the
 new memorandum setting forth its at
 titude toward armed merchantmen.
 It is not known just when or in
 conveyed, but Germany apparently has
 been paving the way for such 8 step for several weeks past by submitting to the state department a series of statements alleging specific instances in which merchant craft of the entente powers have used offensively against submarine guns carried ostensibly for defense.
 The armed ship question, an unsolv- ed problem throughout all the nego- tiations over submarine warfare, is involved in practically all of the cases now pending between the United States and Germany and over which an admittedly grave situation even tually will have to be faced. Officials of the American government, how ever, have adopted a waiting attitude during discussion of moves for peace, and still believe that the submarine issue will not be forced to a conclu sion as long as there is a possibility of tangible developments toward
 peace.

 sManoeuvres in case of attack: As soon as submarine proceeding emerged is noticed. the stern must be turned towards the submarine, the engines brought to a development of the highest speed and then if in the open sea. such a course must be taken as to force the submarine, in order for her to approach, to run against the seas, by which the submarines speed is diminished and the efficiency Of it's guns decreased. As soon as the submarine is within firing range fire must be opened. If the ship is being g Of greater speed. is drawing nearer, the ship. before the submarine is too near, must without hesitation turn about and overrun the submarine.
 If a submerged submarine is mo- ticed at near distance, the engines must be brought to a development of the highest speed and then the ship turned towards the submarine or away from the submarine, according to whether the submarine is seen less or more than six points from the forecastle ahead. If the bow is turned towards the submarine, one must try to run over it.
 If a submerged submarine is sight ed at a sufficient distance the ship must manOeuvre as if an emerged submarine were sighted"

TO RESUME DIPLOMATIC
 RELATIONS WITH MEXICO
In an Effort to Settle Questions With
 the de Facto Government.

Washington, Jan 30.-FulI diplo- matic relations with Mexico are to be resumed immediately in an effort by the United States to solve through for nal channels the troublesome ques- tfons pending with the Carranza de facto government and for it's moral effect in aiding Carranza to restore order and set up constitutional gov ernment. It was announced after to- day'S cabinet meeting that Henry P Fletcher, conf1ermed as ambassador to Mexico months ago. would leave for his post in few days, accompanied by his embassy staff.
 There has been no American am basSador at Mexico City since Henry Lane Wilson was recalled after the killing of Madero aud Huerta's as- sumption of power and formal dip1o- matic intercourse has not existed since Huerta handed Charge Nelson OShaughnessy his passports, April 23, marines at Vera Cruz. The Brazilian minister cared for the interests of the United States for a long time; various unofficial agents have been sent to Mexico on special missions; and since the recognition of the de facto consti- stHtionalist government subordinate of- hcials have been in charge of the em- bassy.
 Ambassador Fletcher will carry with him complete instructions on ques- tions now pending which President Wilson and Secretary Lansing desire taken up with the Carranza govern ment. These include protests already made against provisions of the pro- posed new Mexican constitution dis crininating against foreigners and their interests.

ADMINISTRATION REVENUE
 BILL BEFORE HOUSE
Would Increase inheritance Tax and
 Tax on Excessive Profits.

Washington, Jan. 3o.-The admins tration revenue bill, designed to raise about $250, 100000 by increasing the in heritance tax and by a new tax on ex- cess profits and containing authoriza- tion for an additional bond issue of $10G,000,0 600 was taken up in the house today with prospect of passage by tomorrow night.
 Discussion of the measure developed into an old time tariff debate. The re- publicans accredited the prospective treasury deficit to democratic misman- agement and extravaganza and urged as substitute for the administration bill measure to raise the necessary re$enue through higher cssS5n1s duties Denoc-s tic leaders replied that the shortage was due almost entirely to the Mexican emergency and the unus- ual preparedness expenditures, and argued that levies on excess profits and inheritances would place the burden where it belongs and would be least felt
 Majority Leader Kitchin had charge of the bill and the republican attack was lead by Representative Fordney, ranking majority member of the ways and means committee.

 High Cost of Living.

New York, Jan. 30.-If the people of this country would reduce the cost of living, they must learn what to eat and how to live, according to Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, who addressed York at a dinner tonight.
 "All that is necessary" he declared, "is wheat and milk for children. The meat problem is not much of problem in my family. My boys eat whole wheat or brown bread and butter and milk.
 If today we could come to this sim pie life, no one would complain of the high cost of living.
 'If today I could go into the home of the wage earner and he and his wife would listen to what I have to say as to what they should buy and what they should eat. I could double the wages of every laboring man without adding one cent to his stipend"
