THE NEXT BOND ISSUE

The government is soon to offer .
new Liberty Loan. There is every in
dlcation it will be quickly taken up.
ehat 1T will in every way be as great a
success as the first one foated a few
months ago. The people of the country
have been made better acquainted with
the purposes Of the government in the
war, the seriousness of the situation.
the Imperative need there is for the
money and the, safety Of the investment.
Tor Investment it is and nothing else.
The first liberty loan offered was sub
scr'bed largely by people in the cities.
Ii came at time when the farmers Of
the country districts were busily engag-
60 IN their fields, when they could not
be easily lyinterested in anything but the
planting of their crops. Since then
their crops have been cultivated and bv
the time the new loan will be offered. q .
bumper crop will have been harvested.
Will have been largely marketed and at
satisfactory prices.

subscriptions for the first offering rang
ed from 500 "a in some of the larger
cities down to as low as SO. SO for the

farmers of the country, having harvest
cd their crops, having realized hand

edge OF the purposes of the government

General SHUTS is the idol of All

SITUATION IN RUSSIA

Conditions in Russia are such that
not even members of the American
commission who recently visited that
country can fathom them or safely
predict what the results will be. Re-
Gently changes there have been so
frequent and great that few hours
nave given them an entirely different
aspect. But a few weeks ago the
troops OF the provisional governments,
Were forging ahead, successful in
their offensive against the central
powers. Only a few weeks elapsed
when the tide of battle turned and
these Russ troops were completely
routed, so completely that the i'm,
portant manufacturing city and sea-
port, Riga, has fallen.
Now we have spectacle of civil war,
OF one faction making war on The
other. 1t is not evident that either
faction proposes making a separate
peace with the central powers, but
while they are battling among them
selves. their disorganization is be-
coming greater and consequently
their ability for offensive, even for
defensive is waning and the armies
OF the central powers are given tile
opportunity they have been longing
for-to send great bodies of troops to
the west front.
Hope was long ago lost that Russia
would be an important factor win
ming the war. There still! remained
he hope, however, that it would con-
tinue to make ouch q show of power
that the central powers mast main.
tain large bodies of men OH that
front and not devote their whole
energies 10 defending the west.
However. no one connected with
the American goyernmentori it's allies
in prosecuting the war on the central
powers sees anything more serious in
the disaffection in Russia than that
lit will slightly delay the victory
which the demoeracies are battling
for.

INVENTORY OF RESOURCES

|
IL is asserted on competent author
/ lty that Germany now has all of, its
man power under arms In all ap-
| proximately 10,50o 900 men have been
/ called to arms and 4 800, 600 have been
| killed, captured or disabled so that
only $500 000 are now available for
service on the varlous fronts and for
various other kinds of war work.
/ Now il is asserted Japan aud China
are prepared to throw q million or
millions of men into Russia to assist
the cause of democracy on the east
front, while America is mohilizing
| her millions of men and billions of
money aud supplies for action on the
west front.
At the opening Of the war the Ger
man Fighting machine was PROBABLY
| superior to the combined lighting
ability OF any other half dozen coun-
tries in the world. Its men had been
drilled and schooled in military SCI
ence, prepared for this particular
war. The organization was indeed o
great lighting machine.
Since the opening of the war the
| men OF other nations have been drill
| ed and schooled in military affairs
until today they are as capable in
modern warfare as the men of Ger
many ever were. The natural super
iority OF the men OF Germany as
fighters, even when combined in
great army or machine, has never
been admitted or claimed by any but
the German militarists. The men of
the other nations of the world pitted
against Germany have shown them
selves to be apt pupils. They. in the
three years that have elapsed since
the opening of the War, have attained
a proficiency at any time. These are
facts patent to any one who will do
any reasoning and who has kept him
self abreast Of the news Of the world.
Again, just when the German fight
ing machine is no longer superior
and it's fighting units are being con
stantly decreased with no possible
means Of increasing them in compari-
son with losses being sustained, the
lighting machines of the allied demo-
cracies have reached the highest
stage of efficiency obtainable, an eff
ticienev not even excelled by Ger
many, while in the matter OF fighting
units. men, they are to be had and
will continue TO be had in numbers
far in excess Of what can be used.
Al the opening of the war Germany
had great stores OF war materials,
food stocks, ETC., while the countries
With which she started the trouble
had no more of those things than
were needed for current consumption
Since then Germany's stocks have
been constantly depleted and there
has been no means for her to replen-
ish them as she has been eut off from
the great producing world. On the
'otheF hand the conntrles engaged in
war with Germany and the other |
great producing countries of the world |
have speeded up production, have in
creased stores. means Of transporta
tion, ETC., until they are in position
to wage "a more victorious war than
ever before and to continue to wage
it indefinitely.
This is ali sound reasoning, you
must admit if you are at ail inclined
to reason. Then if it is sound rea-
soning, isn't it reasonable to presume
Germany has about reached the end
Of her resources, that the end of the
war must be near, if it ia not already
in sight.

OLD PRESCRIPTION
 FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are ex- tensiyely advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason is plain-the article did not fulfil the promises of the manufacturer This applies more particularly to medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited, to those who are in need of it.
 A prominent druggist says, "Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent re- suits, as many of my customers testify No other kidney remedy that 1 know of has so large sale"
 According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmers' SwampRoot is due to the fact that, so many people claim, 1t fulfils al- most every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur- mary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.
 You may receive sample bottle of Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y, and enclose ten cents; also mention this paper Large and medium size bottles for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.

Thriving Russian City That Controls River DVina Valley, One of the

Dvinsk, one of Russia's strongest for tiffed cities, is described in bulletin issued by the National Geographic so- ciety, which says:
 With population of 10000, in cluding 30,000 Jews, Dvinsk is a city of prime importance to Russia, for 1t virtually controls the whole valley of the River Dvina, upon whose right bank it is situated, 110 miles Q35 miles by river) southeast of Riga.
 Not only is Dvinsk important as a strategic river point, but as thriving railway center. It Is the junction point for the great arteries of com meree running from Riga to Smolensk and from Perograd to Wilma. There is also an important railroad to Libau Dvinsk is 332 miles by rail southwest of Petrograd
 :. ''Dvinsk is an important agricultural center, enjoying an extensive trade in flax, hemp and grain. 1t Is also a big timber market, and it's flourishing in- duStries before the war included flour mills, breweries, match and tobacco factories, tanneries, brick and tile works.
 Tn most encyclopedias and gazeteers the city is listed under its old name of Dnaburg, but in 1893 the Russian authorities officially declared 1t to be Dvinsk.
 During Napoleon's Russian cam paign in 1872 Marshal Oudinot tried in vain to capture the bridgehead at Dvinsk, but the honor of taking the city was reserved for Macdonald few weeks later"

OUR BOYS IN FRANCE AND
 HOME PROTECTION

The men on the firing line represent the pick of our American youth. One in four of our boys at home was sick, re- jected because of physical deficiency. Many times the kidneys were to blame.
 If we wish to prevent old age coming on too soon, or if We want to increase our chances for a 1ong life. pr. Pierce of the Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. T., says that you should drink plenty of water daily between meals. Then procure at your nearest drug store Anuric (double strength). This An-u-ric drives the uric acid out and cures backache and rheuma- tism.
 If we wish to keep our kidneys in the best condition a diet of milk and vege- tables. with only little meat once @ day, is the most suitable. Drink plenty of pure water, take Anuric three times a day Cor a month.
 Step into the drug store and ask for Anuric GO cents 8 package) or send Dr.. Pierce 10c for trial pkg. Anuric, many times more potent than lithia, often elim- mates uric acid as hot water melts su- gar. A short trial will convince you.
