Lorraine Has

By DANIEL BLUMENTHAL. Ex>Mayor
of Colmar, hlsace
IN accordance with all the rules Of

IN accordance with all the rules OF
l. right and equity Alsace-Lor-
raine should return to France
without the necessity of consulting
the population, for why ask men
who have pcrsistently and loudly
proclaimed their unalterable wish
to become once more E'rcnchmen
whether or not they wish to rema.,
German subjects? THIS WOULD
ALMOST AMOUNT TO AN IN
suit.
The people of Alsacc and Lor-
raine, eve faithful to their men,
cries and to the promises of their
representatives at Bordeaux, have
repeatedly given proof of their un-
c%onquerable will to remain French
men.
And today, even as it was yester-
day and as it will be tomorrow, the
feeling that is uppermost in their
hearts may be summed up in these
words which l shall quote from the
protestation Of March /, 1871, ad-
dressed to the deputies of the ma
tional assembly:
"Your brothers of Alsace and.
Lorraine, now separated from the
common family, remain unalterably
attached to France, at present alb
sent from their hearths, and will
so remain until the day she returns
to take her rightful place"
THAT DAY is WITH US NOW.
AND THE PLACE is READY AND
WAITING.

T~ownspeop!e of Langdon

One remedy has known merit.
Langdon people rely upon it. That
remedy is Doan's kidney pills. Lang.
don testimony proves it reliable.
w. B. Gordon, retired farmer,
Langdon, says: 81 suffered for a
number of years from dull, grinding
pains in the small of my back, direct
ly over my kidneys. The kidney ac-
tion was irregular and caused much
annoyance. I doctored and tried
several medicines, but was not re]iev-
ed until l began taking Doan's kidney
pills, procured at E. l. Donovan's
drug store. A few doses brought
much benefit and before long my kid
neys were strengthened and every
symptom of kidney trouble disappear
ed" Over three years later, Mr..
Gordon said: "From my good expert
ence with Doan's kidney pills, 1 am
convinced there is nothing better to
regulate the kidneys and correct any
disorders arising from them"

DAY COACHES FOR TRooPS1

sleepers Not to Be Provided Under
Mar Conditions.
Westinghouse is announced by the
secretary of war that standard Pull
man and tourist sleepers will not be
used for the transportation of troops
under ordinary conditions during the
wal. Day coaches hereafter will be
used on the basis of one officer to each
double seat and three men to each two
double seats. The new order applies to
all cases except journeys of unusual
length, covering more than one night
and II day. which cases will be sep
arately considered when they arise.
1t is explained that the new regula-
ton is necessary owing to the limited
number Of sleeping cars available for
troop movements and to the congestion
that would arise on transportation
lines if slcepers had to be collected for
every large movement Of troops. More

Spurgeon's Orphanaae.

Surgeons orphanage owes it's origin
to a letter received by Mr.. Spurgeon
in 1866 from Mrs. Hillyard offering
him 100000 to found a home for desti-
tute orphan boys. Mr.. Sturgeon was
too amazed to believe this clergyman's
Widows offer and called on her "to
confer about the f2O0 she wished to
place in his hands," But securities for
100000 were Don handed over, and the
orphanage came into being. The noble
be%nefactor, Mrs. Hillyard, died in 1880.

Bagdad In Decay.

Dirty, neglected and in decay, Bag
dad retains scarcely a trace of the
splendor which was hers in the days
Of good Earoun-al-Raschid. 1t was
then on the western bank of the Tigris,
and an old writer described it with
~pardonable exaggeration as being of
all cities in the world the happiest and
richest in gold. On the eastern bank
was the suburb. But in the eleventh
century the court was moved across
the river, and the city and suburb
changed relations. Today the old Bag
dad is in ruins, and the city on the
eastern bank sadly needs the improv-
ing touch Of western civilization.-Lon-
