WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE
WEAK BODIES
Kidney Diseases Cause Many Aches
and Ills of Manning People.

AS one weak link weakens chain,
SO may weak kidneys weaken the
whole body and hasten the final
breaking down.
Overwork, strains, colds and other
causes injure the kidneys, and gen
orally when their activity is lcsscned; ;
the whole body suffers.
Aches and pains and languor and
urinary ills frequently come, and there
is an ever-incrcasing tendency to-
wards dropsy, gravel or fatal Bright's
disease. When the kidneys fail there
is no real hely for the suffer except
kidney help.
Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on
the kidneys.
No need to take the statement of
someone living far away as evidence.
Here is case right in this locality.
j. 2. Dyson, farmer, r. f. d. No. 2,

re came TO france 20 night the
Germans, he says, and not to dig a
hole and look at them through a spy
glass. The French Canadian and Aus
tarlian soldiers all resent the idea of
digging in and would not admit the
necessity of doing so until bitter
losses taught them dearly-bought
lesson. 1t is purely a matter of tenn
permanent and there seems to be lit
tie doubt now that only actual bat
Gle experience will convince American
soldiers that the ability to take ad-
vantage of any bti of cover is one
of the greatest assets the modern
man at arms can have.
Seems a Shamr.
"It seems shame to have to curb
the first line fighting spirit of our
troops" said an American training
officer yesterday. "But the men must
be made to understand as far as pos
sible that impetuousity must be sub
ordinated to steadness. This has be-
come time clock war The men must
advance in given time and go no
farther. Every step of infantry ad-
vance must first be worked out with
artillery and when the plan is ar
ranged it must be strictly adhered to.
owe realize that it will be difficult
to hold our men to this plan If they
see battle going on their favorite
impulse will be to push on as fast as
they can and some are bound to do
so just as the Canadians did in the
earlier stages. We will undoubtedly
have big losses in this way, but the
men who come through our first bat
ties will be worth their weightin gold
thereafter. They will learn quickly
the value of steadiness and absolute
discipline under fire and they will be
the steadying influence we can dis
tribute through the newer units of
our great army as they get their final
preparation for trial by fire"
Antipathy to Digging.
The natural fighting man, it seems,
has natural antipathy to digging in.
AI' III III oiSoS it(SS lliollCllS VI war DTlC-
ish Tommies would rather remain
above ground and stand chances of
getting killed by shells than to dig
deep dugouts so adored by the Ger
mans. In planning the battle of Mes
sines ridge, which was q model Of a
clean-cut victory, the British army
commander took into account the
fighting mans point of view and when
the advance had reached stage
where it gave the British covered high
ground the fighting men were direct
ed to take rest while specially or
ganized labor battalons were rushed
up fro mthe rear to do ;ne necessary
digging and consolidating of new
trenches SO as to make them thorough
ly proof against counter-attack.
The result was that the fighting
men were unhampcrcd and unworried
by the necessity of digging, went for
ward later in the day and took OBJ
Jectives that were rather hoped for
than actually expected These are
the tactics the American fighting man
would like to see. They appeal to
him, but just now he is being put
through pretty stiff course of dig
gng. This does not apply to dig
ging trenches alone. He is being
taught how to dig himself in indi-
vidually while lying flat on the
ground in the face of enemy fire, thus
getting temporary shelter and the
protection Of a sort Of gravc-like ex-
cavation.

Canadian brother in arms in that re-
spect for it is an old saying on the
British front that Canadians will die
in the last ditch, but never dig it.
1t is the American spirit as it was
that of the Canadians to upstake and
fight. but the world war has long
since passed that stage and now in
the long wear and worry of Il strug-
gle of attrition the best commander
is the one who best conscrvcs his

LOCAL ITEMS.

One of the main topics which is a subject of controversy at the pre- sent time is whether or not the fact that the United States is at war will affect the usual summer influx of travellers to Nome. For some reason the general opinion seems to be that there will be many less coming up this season than in other years. It is highly improbable that actually the war will directly affect the situation at all, but the fact that wages are now higher outside than in ten years is likely to very seriously affect the number coming to Nome. Those who have a sure job here at good wages to go to, will probably come up as usual, but those who year after year came up as matter of fact, almost certainly will remain outside where work is more plentiful, and relatively, the wages are higher.

LONDON, Sept 21.-An exhibition
of paintings by the Russian battle.
artist, Vasili Verestchagin, called in
Russia the apostle of peace" is to
be one of the features of the winter
season in London art circles. Verest-
chagin, after fighting with the Rus
sian armies in three short but bitter
minor wars, was killed in the explo-
sion that destroyed the Russian flag
ship Petropavlocsk outside Port Ar
thur in 1904. His paintings are de-
scribed as "at once a grisly revelation
and vehement protest"
His most famous canvas is entitled
"Apotheosis of War" It depicts a
huge pyramid of skulls crowned with
q flock Of carrion crows, and bears the
sinister Inscription, ITO all CONQUER
ors, past, present and to come"
On the occasion of an exhibition of
his work in Berlin some years ago
the German Emperor would not allow
the Prussian Guard to visit it, lest
they should come to regard war as
not honorable but disgusting"
Verestchagin once wrote: 81 want
my paintings to be horrible. The Deo-
pie must know what war really is"
