WELCOME, BELGIANS!

Before the war has progressed
much further, there viii have appear
ed in this country missions from near
ly all of the nations that are allies
in the war against Germany. To
none of them win ii be possible to
extend a more sincere and heartfelt
welcome than We are now according
TO the official representatives of Bel
sium.
This little nation stands in class
by itself, both in the role of hero
and OF martyr In all the wide range
Of human history there is no small
country which ever covered itself with
more glory in the defense of its in
alienable rights, and none whose men,
women and children We're ever forced
to pay more bitter penalty for their
bravery and hardihood in opposing
the will Of n ruthless foe.
When Germany tempted the Bel
gians to take the easy path of the
weak and aequiesce in the march of
Piussian armies thru Flemish fields,
it was Belgium that proudly said
her treaties and her rights were not
written on scraps of paper.
When the enormous gray masses
Of the German army started for Par
is, it was the little Belgian army
that held up the hordes until France
and England could make ready. Town
after town in Belgium was made i'm
mortal by defense as desperate and
as valorous as that of the Greeks at
MISUNDERSTANDING Telegraph.

ing that the actual introduction OF
American made goods into the Bra

and disposition of the products of
both countries.
By the terms of the agreement the

fered to the American markets by
members or thru the Commercial
League of Brazil In return the
league promises to provide the same
outlet for American goods for which
there is demand in the Brazilian
markets. Both organizations viii
work thru their memberships and af-
filiations in their respective coun-
tries.
An American exporter or manufac-
turer desiring to place his goods in
Brazil may do so thru the American
chamber who will furnish the neces-
sary information as to procedure
and methods, and by the cooperation
of the commercial league, will ar
range agents and merchants to handle

A bad back isn't bad thing II Il
serves as warning of hidden kidney
disorders. Kidney diseases are fright
fully common today. We override 30
much. We don't give the kidneys q
chance to rest up, and while bad
back, some bladder disorder, an occa-
sional dizzy spell or a persistent head
ache may be the only outward sign,
the kidney trouble that is behind 1t
all may be overlooked or neglected.
Put your signs to use. Take them as
warnings. Fight off kidney weakness.
It takes only slight kidney disorder
to start q 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, goul, neart
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
Maysvile case:
Mrs. John Burns, W. Second St.,
Maysville, says: 81 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 I received from Doan's
Kidney Pills was wonderful. l have
never had such severe attacks since

NO TROUBLE SINCE
On November is, 1916, Mrs. Burns
said: 81 have the same good words
OF praise for Doan's Kidney Pills to-
day, as ever. have not needed a kid
ney medicine since / took them"
Mrs. Burns is only one of many
Maysville people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. II your
back aches-if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for kidney
