Act Quickly

Do the right thing at the right time.
Act quickly in time of danger.
In time Of kidney danger, Doan's
Kidney Pills are most effective.
Plenty Of convincing evidence of
their worth in this vicinity.
Niels Nelson, retired farmer,
Springfield, Mimi, says: II suffered
especially after I caught cold, from
kidney complaint and weakness in
my back. After I used one box of
Doan's Kidney Pills I could sleep
we'll and felt better in every way"
NO TROUBLE SINCE.
Over three years later Mr.. Nelson
said: 81 have had no return of kid
ney trouble since Doan's Kidney Pills
cured me-"
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mr.. Nelson had. Foster Milburn Co.,

At the present time the Ninth Ju-
dicial district is called upon to elect
a man to preside as judge This po-
sition is a most exalted one, and in
electing man to fill it, each indivi-
dual should give the subject his clos
est attention. We should candidly
ask ourselves whether or not we can
have absolute, unquestioning conf
dence in the man whom we are going
to elect to decide important cases in
litigation and whose verdict will be
just and equable.
The Attorney General of the Unit
ed States says that "too much impor-
tance cannot be attached to the sell
ection of the right man to place on
the bench" Mr.. Gregory applies
these tests to each applicant:
1. What is his standing in the COM
munity?
2. Does he command the respect Of
those who have been thrown into in
innate contact with him as lawyer
and as citizen?
3. Has he ever been drunkard?
A. Is he a man who pays his bills ?

"Number-This application is re-
jected because the school, is not sup
piled with the national flag either on
the inside or outside Of the building
in the last school year. The clerk
states that flag will be secured for
next year. That is we'll and good
and we will take it into considera-
ton at the time the school make ap-
plicatfon for next year. How
ever, it can not be considered for
the present year."
"Number-The teacher states that
the national flag has not been dis
played on the inside or outside of
the school during the last year. The
clerk gives no data whatever as to
whether or not the school has been

D. What is his professional stand
ing?
6.Is he violent partisan? ?"
These are some of the pertinent
questions Mr.. Gregory propounds IN
deciding on the fitness Of candidates
for federal judgeships.
In electing Frank Clague as judge
of the Ninth district, the voters can
rest assured that he fulfills all of
these important qualifications and
that no one, no matter how humble
he may be, need fear that his conf
dence in Mr.. Clague's sterling honesty
will be misplaced.
In all lines Of endeavor the demand
is ever keen for men who are tenn
perate, brainy, Industrious, possess
strength OF character, are honest
and who display high degree of eff
ficiency in performing the duties ex-
acted of them.
The judiciary is the highest calling
of them all 1t requires man of
sound Judgment, tact and honesty, a
man who is neither swayed by passion
or prejudice, man who can measure

fault Of his. I think he is in love
with me altho we never speak of it,
fer, as ] say, he is a gentleman. I
don't want to d. anything that IL not
right, but it is SO plain to each bf us
that it Is embarrassing when we
meet. 1t is getting to be a real worry
to me and keeps me bothered for fear
l will make the wrong move. and he
appears to be the same way He is
married, but 1 understand does not
get along with his wife.
1 was in love with this man before
realized we were more than friends.
What will be best for me to do? Do
you think IL I get where I wouldn't
see him l could forget him? Do you
think could go on this way and live
with my husband? We have two girls
and 1 am 80 years old. HELEN.
1t is always best to avoid danger.
Your idea Of going where you will not
see the man is the only thing for you
to do. Don't think that you will be
strong enough to stay with the man
you love and always do the honorable
thing-that is not human nature. IL
you stay, some time one of you will
betray love- For the sake of your
daughters and for your own integrity
you must be true to your husband.
You made your own life by marrying
him ami now you must face the flu
ture with him bravely and be as hap
Ply as you can under conditions that
exist.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl
16 years old and I am engaged to a
soldier. He is now on his way to
France This boy seems to love me
very much and says he will keep his
promise. I receive letters from him
every day and also write to him every
day, but he does not receive them and
he thinks do not care for him. This
boy has been real nice to me and I
love him dearly. Can you tell me how
can surely keep his love?
BROWN EYES.
Do not be afraid that you will lose
his love. Worry and fear usually
bring about the very thing you do not
want to happen. Be contented in the
thought that everything will come out
all right. You are too young OF be en-.
gagged. and you may find that by the
time the war is over you no longer love
the boy.
Always put a return address on your
envelopes when you write to the boy.

rel came. Abe was bit more serious
than usual, but he was clear of ram
cor. as nc asked:
us that young man Montgomery a
nice feller?"
Very NICE" was the reply.
He has been around the world a
good bit. 1 suppose ?"
He has been everywhere, and it's
very interesting to hear him talk Of
what he has SEEM
Yes, it must be-
He has been in London and Paris,
Abe. He was a captain in a Canadian
regiment in the first of the war. He
has killed over a dozen Germans. He
has killed highway robber, He has
helped lynch a murderer. He was once
captured by brigands. He is going to
be elected to congress next year."
Yes" drawled Abe.
And he can sing and dance and
play the piano." continued the foolish
girl. Yes. and he can play golf and
cricket and ride horseback And he
owns an auto that cost five thousand
dollars. And after he is elected to con-
gress we are to live in Washington"
In her excitement and enthusiasm
she had said We" Her chagrin over
it was intense for a moment, and then
relief came as she saw that Abe hadn't
noticed it. Hadn't he. tho! But there
were no criticisms-no quarreling-
the same kindly good night" as Abe
left for home. ~
There will be an elopement," he
said to himself as he walked along.
Half an hour later, as he lay In bed
staring at the darkness, he added:
That is there will be an attempted
elopement."
Perhaps it was Polly's mother that
gave him the date, the hour and the
starting point. You must agree that
it would be her duty IL she knew them.
There was no school at the district
schoolhouse mile away. 1t Was an
excellent meeting place. Abe had been
