TIME is THE TEST.
The Testimony of shepherdstown Peo-
pie Stands the Test.

The test of time is what tells the tale.
The public soon finds out when misrep-
reservations are made, and merit alone
will stand the test of time.
Shepherdstown people appreciate merit,
and many months ago local citizens pub
licly endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills; they
do so still. Would a citizen make the
statement which follows unless convinced
that the article was just as represented Z
Below is testimony such as the sufferer
from kidney ills is looking for.
Mrs. Nettie V. Turner, Hockey 81,

were weak and suffered from backaches.
Doan's Kidney Pills, which got at Hilrs
Pharmacy, made me well. recommend
their use TO anyone suffering from kidney
trouble. " Statement given November
7, 1910.
On December IL, 1916, Mrs. Turner
said al have not had any need OF a kid

ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's

IF the draft bill now before Congress

provisions will be carried out:
!. The President will designate by
proclamation a day of registration, the
voting precinct being used as the smallest
unit Tor enrolment. The Governors OF
The various States will be asked TO have
the sheriffs Of the counties appoint regis
tiers to take the names OF all males be-
tween the ages OF nineteen and twenty

arrested.
Z. The State officers will exempt from
military service persons engaged in in
duStries, including agricultural, found TO
be necessary TO the maintenance OF the
military establishment or the effective
operation OF the military forces, or the
maintenance OF national interests during
the emergency"
5. Those not exempt will be reported
10 the War Department, which will make
further exemptions.
4. 1t is estimated that by August / st the
100000 men desired will be in training
camps. In the meantime the government
must provide equipment for the recruits.
D Il is. estimated that the registration

AS a means OF increasing the agricultural
and industrial productiveness OF West
Virginia, Governor John ]. Cornwell has
been directed by the State Council OF
Defense to authorize the taking of CEN
sus of all unemployed and idle males be-
tween the ages of l6 and 60years. Farm
ers and coal operators are facing the
most acute labor shortage in the history
OF the State, and it is said that census
OF the unemployed will do much 10 relieve
the shortage. The State Commissioner
OF Agriculture was directed by the De-
tense Council to obtain supply OF agri-
cultural seeds which will be supplied to
farmers and gardeners at cost.

fired on April 10Th. The American mer-
chant vessel Mongolian, armed and with
crew OF naval gunners on duty, sighted
German submarine, and as the under
sea boat WIS maneuvering to attack the
ship the gunners cut loose at range Of
1000 yards. 1t is reported that clean
hi was made, shattering the periscope
and sinking the submarine.
April 10Th was the day on which the
first shot OF the American revolution was
fired, at Lexington.

CONGRESS is this week debating the
question OF raising great army OF men
whether it shall be done by the volunteer
system or by selective draft. There is a
considerable difference of opinion as 10
the best method. but from the fact that
there is mighty little volunteering, il looks
10 us as if CONSUMPTION is the only way in
which an army can be gotten together
within reasonable time. England made
an almost fatal mistake in postponing for
year or more the draft, and our country
should profit by her experience if we
really mean business in organizing all
army.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT has come out
strongly in favor OF law prohibiting the
use OF grain in the manufacture OF liquor
during war time. He told the members
OF the Long Island Farmers Club and the
Long Island Food Reserve Battalion at
meeting held last Saturday that citizens
must begin at once to eliminate extrava-
gance and waste and accuSton themselves
to economy. when there is a shortage
OF food" he said, 81 feel personally that
we should see that grain is not diverted
from food into intoxicants. In this war
many nations in Europe have exercised
rigid control over the grain production.
1t would be fine idea for us to follow
theirl lead"
For the first time, we find ourselves in
full accord with the views OF Colonel
Roosevelt. This is one subject upon
which he is both safe and sane.

Passed on beyond our mortal vision,
All needless OF our falling tears,
Unconscious OF our desolation.
Unnoting all our lonely years.
And while in silent griefwe fingered
Came tender voices. unheard before
Weep moi, the one whose loss you sorrow
Has gone upstairs and shut the door.
Passed on beyond our mortal vision,
But now the thought is robbed OF gloom.
Within the Fathers many mansions,
Still dwelling in another room.
The one whose going left us lonely
Is scaling heights. undreamed of yore,
And guided on by loves unfolding.
Has gone upstairs, and shut the door.

AND now Turkey has broken off Dip
lomatic relations with the United States -
under pressure, OF course, from Germany.
This will not hurt, for no nation has ever

years have been almost as cruel and
heartless and despicable as the Germans

REPORTS from Germany and Austria
are 10 the effect that food is becoming
more and more scarce, and if is evident
that there is great suffering among the
people. The workingmen in the factories
have been striking for better food supplies,
and it is only by the most severe methods
that they are kept at work. The rations
OF the soldiers have also been reduced
from stern necessity, and there is unqueS-
tionably lowering OF the morale OF the
army in consequence. Bread riots are
reported from many sections, where
elderly persons and children are suffering
foT the actual necessities OF life. There
Is likely TO be still greater trouble before
ihe next crops can be harvested.
Although these statements are not ex-
aggerationS, il is not believed that the
Germans will reach the actual starvation
point for some time yet, for they have
learned TO exist on the lowest possible
amount OF food and 10 practice the most
aoStemlous economy. But il is when
munitions OF war become scarce and the
necessities like cotton and other articles
that cannot be supplied in Germany give
out that real starvation will end the war.

Catarrh Deafness Cannot Be Cured

SatdrTn DedIneSS Sdnn0t be cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion oil the ear.
There is only one way 10 cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition OF the mucous
lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when il
is entirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the Inflammation can be reduced
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever.
Many cases OF deafness are caused by
catarrh, which is an inflamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Med
icine acts thru The blood on the mucous
surfaces OF the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case OF Catarrhal Deafness that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine.

and substantial public men OF the United
States declared that "the time has come

the declarations put forth. Capitalists,
scientists, railroad presidents, labor lead
