A Woman Finds All Her Energy and
Ambition Slipping Away.

Madison women know how the
aches and pains that often come when
the kidneys fail make life a burden.
Backaehe. hip pains, headaches, dir
zy spells, distressing urinary trou-
5les, are frequent indications of weak
kidneys and should be checked In
time. Doan's Kidney Pills ire for
the kidneys only. They attack kid
ney diseases by striking at the cause.
Here's proof of merit in a Madison
woman's words:
Mrs. III. G.. Killion, 712 Blanche
avenue N, says: 81 had attacks OF
lumbago ana my back ached and was
so lame I could hardly straighten up
when l bent over. l was miserable
all the time and my work was often
neglected. I felt tired out and Ian
guild and had dizzy headaches. My
kidneys acted irregularly and were
sluggish. Doan's Kidney Pills
strengthened my kidneys. My back
was o all right and I felt better
in every way. My kidneys acted reg
ularly and naturally"

BERESFORD BOY DESCRIBES Eek.
PERIENCE WHILE CROSS
ING ATLANTIC.

Beresford, July 9.-Albert Skaff,
the United States marines and has
made six trips thus far across the At
lantic, writes his brother in Beres-
fords of an experience which the boat
to which he is attached had with
three German submarines. His letter
in part follows:
we had a little excitement this
trip. When about 500 miles from
New York we sighted the wake Of a
torpedo, which missed us a few feet.
If we hadn't shifted to full speed a
few minutes before Ii would have hit
us amidships.
There were three U-boats after
us. l guess they thought we did not
have any guns with us. but we surely
surprised them when we opened fire
on them with 10 guns. and IA more
ready.
They fired two torpedoes at us
and disappeared. We lodged their
shots. We could see only two of
them come up, but they were out OF
range.
I'VE are not only well armed for
them, but we have got 1t all over
them for speed and they wouldn't
fight when we offered them a battle,
but disappeared. We put on full
speed and headed for New York and
did not see any mor on our way"

Strommerson, SIS West Fifth street,

services and expects shortly to be
called to Erie, Pa, to the steel
works. That will make seven put of

The Strommerson family are old

The Strommersons have had 10

FTANDREAU MAN TURNED DOWN
BY u. 8. BECAUSE OF
BAD TEETH.

F~landreau, July 9.-George Rae,
of Flandreau, believes he is some
thing of a Jonah. He recently made
a trip to Camp Lewis for the purpose
of enlisting, but was rejected because
of defective teeth. Now he has re-
ceived a letter from the Canadian
military authorities calling upon him
to enlist in the British forces, he hav-
ing been a British subject before
coming to the United States. The
Canadian authorities were careful to
explain that defective teeth we're not
a bar in the Canadian military serv-
ice.
Rae, however, does not like the
idea of fighting under the British
flag, as all his interests are In the
United States and IL he is permitted
to do any fighting he prefers to do
II under the stars and stripes. The
Canadian claim upon him Is due to
the fact that he has not yet obtained
his final citizenship papers. He now
is eligible for naturalization. and IL
is believed that he will be permitted
to obtain his second papers and thus
be able to remain in the United
States.

ATTENTION, LADIES OF MADISON

Do you know that thousands of sol
diers in France are dying because of
the lack of surgical dressings to bind
up their wounds?
Do you know that we are supply
ing only 25 per cent of the surgical
dressings demanded at the front?
Perhaps some of our splendid Lake
county boys may die of neglect be-
cause of the lack of these things.
Perhaps your indifference and
carelessness in not going to the sur
gical dressing room in Madison and
working may be the direct means OF
causing the death of some of these
brave boys who are over there fight
ing for you. They are not taking any
vacation during the hot weather.
Why should you?
Some days there are less than 10
ladies there at work when there
ought to be SO there every afternoon
and evening that the rooms are open.
There r no specia; days for cliques
or societies, every lady in Madison OF
Lake county is welcome there any
time. We want your help in this
great work of mercy; we need IL
sorely. The Red Cross is religion
under shell fire; now is the time for
you to show your religion. We ap-
peal to you to show your loyalty and
willingness to do your bit. by conse-
Grating yourself to this great work.
Wont you make some sacrifice for
the boys who are making the SUI
preme sacrifice for you?

County Chairman.
