DON'T DELAY
Some Madison People Have Learned
That Neglect Is Dangerous.

The slightest symptom of kidney
trouble is far too serious to be owe
looked. It's the small, neglected
troubles that so often lead to serious
kidney ailments. That pain in the
small of your back; that urinary
regularity; those headaches and
dizzy spells; that weak, weary, orn
out feeling, may be natures warning
Of kidney weakness. Why risk your
life by neglecting these symptoms?
Reach the cause of the trouble while
there yet is time-begin treating
your kidneys at once with a tried and
proven kidney remedy. No need to
experiment - Doan's Kidney Pills
have been successfully used in thou
sands of cases of kidney trouble for
ov4r so years. Doan's Kidney Pills
are used and recommend throughout
the civilized world. Endorsed at
home. Read Madison testimony:
Mrs. ]. p. Newman, 1875 Seventh
street NV, says: "Doan's Kidney
Pills have been used in my family
for years. 1 have taken them when
my kidneys have been out of order
and always with good results"

All of 1900 Yankee Soldiers on
Board Are Saved and
Landed Safely.
MEN SHOW TRUE SPIRIT
RIO Sign of Panic and Admirable Be-
havior Of Troops Gratifying to Of
ficers-Attack Was off English
Coast-Destroyers Rescue.

London, Sept. IA troopship with
$500 American soldiers on board has
been ~torpedoed. All hands were
saved. The troopship was peached.
In order to save time, instead of
launching the boats the men clambered
down ropes to destroyers which
swarmed around the stricken vessel
and came close alongside. This oper-
alton was greatly facilitated by the
fact that the sea was not rough.
Member of Large Convoy.
The troopship was a member of a
large convoy approaching the English
coast. The vessel was torpedoed 200
miles from shore at 8 p. M.
The transfer of the American SOL
diers from the stricken vessel to es-
corting British and American torpedo
boat destroyers was made without in
jury to anyone. They all escaped
when the torpedo exploded and they
soon were on their way to a British
port.
Yanks Show True Spirit.
There was no sign of panic on
board and the admirable behavior of
the men was especially gratifying to
the officers.
Many of the troops came from Chi
cago and Cleveland and a large per
centage of them were factory hands OF
foreign extraction. Their behavior
proved that they had assimilated the
true spirit of the American soldier.
Several soldiers told the Associated
Press that they saw the German sub
marine lifted clear out Of the water
after one of the depth bombs explod
ed, and then entirely disappear.
Something had gone wrong with the
~troopship's engines which compelled
her for a time to lag behind the rest
of the convoy, but the trouble had
been fixed up and she was fast catch
Ing up with the other transports wher
a torpedo hit her just forward of the
engine-room.
Vessel Starts to Sink.
The vessel at ice began to sink by
the bow. Many of the soldiers at the
time were taking baths. They die
not wait to dress but made for the
deck with what little clothing they
could hastily lay hands on. The wa
ter was rushing in at such a rate thai
It was thought the steamer woult
quickly founder.
To the surprise OF most Of the sol
diers the troopship did not sink. Som,
means apparently were found to checl
the thrush of water and she got neal
enough to the shore to be beached. i
Is hoped that the vessel ultimately car
be saved.

HOW YOU CAN HELP X

John Mitchell, one Of America
great labor leaders. writes as follows
"The work that one man does here
at home may seem to him very small
TOO small to be measured on the bat
tie 'front.' but it is only through the
toll of individual workers, each doing
his part, that the big job can be
done. Take the building Of cargo
ships, for example. In shipyard
the individual workers output is less
than a ton Of shipping in a fortnight
but $4,000 men in a big yard Will
turn out in year million tons, or
a great fleet of one hundred and
twenty-five S,O0O-ton ships.
so ii is with savings. Each one
of us must save in order to produce
the great savings the nation must
have. The purchase of 25-cent gov
ernment Thrift Stamp seems very
small thing when we read that the
war is costing us thirty or forty mil
lions q day. But every thrift stamp
viii pay for driving six riyets in q
ship, and two United States War
Savings Certificates carrying forty
Sc stamps (now costing $l6640) will
build a ton of Tipping, Already the
treasury war savings campaign has
collected more than $240,000,000 from
these small savings. This is enough
to pay for the building of 1,500,000
tons of shipping to carry our men
and food and munitions to Europe.
EVERY citizen be he rich or poor,
must understand and realize that up
on him individually and upon all OF
us collectively rests the responsible
ty Of winning the war. We must not
permit ourselves to feel that this is
not our war. We must realize that il
success should not crown our efforts
the liberty which we in America en-
joy would be curtailed and opportuni
ty for further development would be-
largely limited; whereas if, as now
seems certain, the war should b'
a brought to a successful close, the op
portunity for social intellectual ant
economic development would be guar
anteed for all time to the American
people, the wage earners, whose pa
triotism and unselfish devotion to tn
institutions Of our country have neysi
been questioned and who have 81
much to gain from success and 81
much to lose through failure

THE DAY

1t will come some day-do you re-
alize il? On some one glorious day
the enemy will cry "Kamarad!" in
good earnest, and there will be
peace.
Picture that day. The crowds in
the streets are going about their bus
mess, the Red Cross rooms are hum
ming with work, the thousand war
activities are grinding at full speed
every mother and father is facing
the morning with a heart braced for
less, every loyal citizen is at his post
of service; and suddenly-the news!
The crowded avenues turn white;
all up and down their length they
have blossomed white with the open
newspapers that have magically
sprung into everyone's outstretched
hands. Everybody in the long,
stopped stream of humanity holds a
newspaper or reads his neighbor's
everybody knows everybody, shares
with everybody; strange hands clasp
strange eyes, meeting, overflow; and
there is just one first thought, not
triumph, nor democracy, but-"Those
boys-those good boys-they can
come home," And the second
thought will be, "we'vo done it,
We've put it through"
And then, standing there. they be
gin to sing, the men with barred
heads; they send up such a song as
the skies have never heard since time
was-"Glory, glory, hallelujah! =
Praise God from whom all blessings
flowl" The melting pot is a slow
Erocess-that song will melt all into
blood brothers at the first chord Oh,
how they will sing, those standing
men and womenl And then with one
impulse they will surge into the
churches. into the cathedrals-for
when man has been granted the su-
preme boon, he must fall on his
knees. whether he knows God or not
