A bad back isn't a bad thing II II
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 a bad
back, some bladder disorder, an occa.
sional dizzy spell or persistent head
ache may be the only outward sign,
the kidney trouble that is behind It
Iall may be overlooked or neglected.
Put your signs to use. Take them as
warnings. Fight of kidney weakness.
1t takes only a 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 best-recommended Kidney
Pill. Forty thousand Americans rec.
ommend them publicly. Here's one
Maysville 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 was confined to bed
and rendered helpless. The quick and
decided benefit ! received from Doan's
Kidney Pills was wonderful. l have
never had such severe attacks since.

TO FINE DRAFT vIoLAToRs
Provost Marshal General CroWder Is
sues Statement to Registra-
ton Officials.

Washington, May Ito dispose of
fear that county and city registration
boards will exercise favoritism in en-
rolling soldiers under the eselective
draft act, Provost Marshal General
Crowder issued a statement on Thurs
day declaring such practices would be
virtually impossible because of the ex-
plicit terms in which the act is drawn.
He warned registration officials that
favoritism easily could be detected
and would be punished.
Every man within the age limits
fixed by the selective service act must
register, and the penalty Of the law
for evasion of registration will fall not
only on the man who fails to appear
but on any member Of registration
board who may be shown to be in col
fusion with the person who attempts
to escape his duty.
1.-THE law provides the penalty of
Imprisonment, with not alternative of a
fine, for any official or any registered
man who shall make false return or
connive lat such a practice"

"'Oh, WE'LL said the Sea Fairies,
you can't please everyone. We're sat

today, Mr.. Wind. And we know you
help Mother Ocean. But we like to
tease you sometimes by giving Mother
Ocean all the praise. 1t never fails to

st suppose that is what you like

"'Of course said the Sea Fairies.
Then you blow up into rage and we

".I should say they did, said one
poor little Sand Fairy, who had been
knocked over and over all the time
the Sea Fairies and the wind had been
talking. For the breaker boats had
gone on with many of the other Sea
Fairies in them. The Sea Fairies
wore their fluffy white dresses and
their green shoes and stockings. Such
gorgeous green shoes and stockings
as they were! And their collars and
hats were like glorious white ruf1es-

"All of the Sea Fairies were now
back in their boats and how the

They roared with the fun, and the low,
deep voice Of Mother Ocean murmured
all the time:
"'That is right, my children; en-
Joy yourselves. You are SO beautiful,
so young, so active. 1t does my old
watery heart good to see you
"And the Sea Fairies went on rolling
back and forth in the breaker boats.
sThey tossed over the sand by the
shore and the Sand Fairies who had
come out to play with them were
moved this way and that. But they
liked it, for the breaker boats like the
Sand Fairies and sometimes bring
them queer gifts from old Mother
Oceans storeroom, deep down in the
sea.
'.And while the Sea Fairies and the
Sand Fairies were enjoying the won
derful breaker boats, the children by
the shore were saying:

sPY.BILL IS PASSED
PRESS CENSORSHIP AND PRoHI4
RITIoN STRICKEN FROM
MEASURE BY SENATORS.
WOULD HANG FOOD GAMBLER
Unrestrained Wrath Is Poured Out az
Action Is Urged to Shut All Ex-
changes - Food-control Bill
Will Carry Drastic Action.

Washington, May 16-Carrying no
press censorship nor war prohibition
clauses the senate passed the admins
tration espionage ball on Monday by
vote OF II to 6. Important sections
curbing activities Of enemy spies re-
main in the bill.
Those who voted against the meas
ure were Borah, France, La Toilette,
Gronna, Sherman and Vardaman.
The senate voted to insist upon its
amendments being accepted when the
bill goes to conference with house
members.
The amendment forbidding the use
of cereals and grains for the manufac-
ture of intoxicants was stricken from
the bill by vote Of AZ to 81.
The unrestrained wrath of the SEN
ate was poured down upon food gam
bIers and spectators in one of the
most remarkable scenes in the history
of the chamber.
Robbers and pirates" were terms
frequently applied to those who profit
by SpeculationS in food in the hour or
the nations need. The likelihood OF
food SPECTATORS being hanged to lamp
posts was limited at.
The storm broke when Senator
Thomas, Democrat, of Colorado, pro-
posed as an amendment to the admin
istration espionage bill provision to
suspend for the duration of the war
all boards of trade, stock exchanges or
chambers of commerce which permit
speculation in futures in food. The
amendment was rejected, 40 to "a.
Two new food-control bills, one au-
thOrizing the president to appoint "a
controller general Of supplies" during
the war, and another designed to pre-
vent slaughter Of immature live stock,
were introduced by Senator Gore.
