Every time Canada scored the officer leapt like a ram upon the grass crying thru the megaphone, Hold me down! Hold me down!"

Many Elderly Skagway Residents Suffer From Some Form of
 Kidney Trouble.

When past middle age, there frequently comes a noticeable weak ening of the organs of the body, and resulting danger of quick de cline. It is quite necessity to give prompt help to any part that first shows signs of wear. Healthy kidneys are necessary to q hale old age. Weak kidneys often bring constant backache, lame back, stitches and twinges Of pain, an moving urinary troubles, and the danger of dropsy or Bright's disease. Doan's Kidney Pills are gratefully by very many aged people. Convincing proof of merit in the following testimony:
 J. N. Johnsen, carpenter, 2625 w Fifty-ninth St, Seattle, Wash, says: "A cold weakened my kid neys and after that l had a great deal of kidney trouble. My back was lame and it felt as though the muscles were all drawn up and stiff. My kidneys didn't act right at all and the secretions were highly colored. l had to get up often at night.

MAKING READY FOR WAR

h a few days the United states, after six months Or war, will have . greater military establishment than il even had at any one time during all the years of the civil war. It will have the greatest armies ever raised on American soil, and what IS no less impressive, it will have the best equipped, the best trained, the best officered and most truly democratic armies in it's whole history.
 Few persons adequately appre- ciate the enormous work that the government has already done in this war. A country that had not been seriously disturbed by armed conflict for more than fifty years had to be put on a war basis at once. The machinery did not ex- ist. It had to be created, and created it was, with astonishinsly little confusion and astonishingly brilliant results, as all foreign ob- servers testify.
 If there are skeptics who do not believe that the American people are serious in the great task to which they have set their hand, let them study the record of the last six months. Every war meas ure o' the government, including conscriptiou, has received an over whelmiug measure of public sup port that swept down all opposition. No appeal from Washington to the American people has been denied and the country is going ahead in the spirit Of its soldiers. It is go- ing to finish the job and finish it for 2ll time, and the men who marched yesterday are the living evidence of its unyielding determine Iion.-New York World

HUBBY Is NOT THE BOSS

No more is the married man of Washington absolute head of the fami!L. He shares that post with the wife of his heart so far aS the disposal of community personal prop.rty is concerned. Man wa: dem2ted from his high estate and his authority curtailed by Q recent decision Of the state supreme court, which held the Mrs" of the house hold as an equal share in the person al property and must be consulted before it can be transferred.
 The decision was rendered, says ths spokane Chronicle, in the case of a man named Steel, who wa found guilty Of alienating the affections of another mans wife. Judgment was rendered against him and the question of using communt- ty property to satisfy the debt was brought before the tribunal. Chief Justice Ellis, with the con- GU renee of six associate judges, yer-ed former decisions which have been the basis of law on this point for 20 years OF more in the state, and held that the community per sonal property is liable only for those debts contracted for the com- muDity and in the community in terests.
 Under former decisions the pow Ter of the husband over community property was absolute, except that, ha could not will away more than hal the other half going to the wife gt his death. He could mort gage, sell or dissipate the family personally without the consent of his wife. The furniture could be sold over her head to pay the debts of drunken husband. A judgment for q husbands wrong conduct could be collected from her half of the personal property as well as his. Now the husband is no more than an agent, the court has held.

Mills and factories are likewise suffering. They are either divert ed to war use or else are run down and closed because Of the inability to get metals and men to make necessary repairs. The soil of the farms has suffered from the lack of fertilizers and proper cultivation.
 The rayages of war in Germany have been no less real, even though less ghastly, than those suffered by Belgium, Northern France, Poland and Serbia. No wonder cheer Is lacking in the fatherland when The inhabitants contemplate their own enormous losses, and then realize that their enemies are determined that they must also make repara- tion for the ruin the German ar mics have wrought in other lands. --Idano Statesman. ;,

GERMANY'S LOST WEALTH

Half Of Germany's pre-war wealth of $9O,OO0,OOO,0OO has been wiped out by the war, says an of ficial report made by the Munich independent committee for German peace.
 The Munich committee says thaI Germany could not have paid more heavily for the war unless invading armies had reduced her cities to ruin. The railroads, for instance ara so worn down from excess or military usage and lack of repairs and proper upkeep, that they now barely suffice for military traffic. The condition Of the railroads ana necessity curtaflment of traffic has bad . blighting effect on all indus tries, and now things are at such a pass that the people of Berlin have been officially forbidden to take warm baths because coal is so scarce that none must be used TOT heating bath water.
