Drink EVIL Rampant.

The committee feels that the
drinking evil has become so ram
pant in the mining communities that
its complete elimination Is funda-
mentally necessary in the effort to
speed up the mines sufficiently to
get the 1O0,000,000 additional tons
needed. It is now up to Congress
TO make a clean-cut choice between
booze for the mining communities,
and coal for the war and the pub.

While the statement does not con-
tain the figures on the time lost by
the miners as the result Of booze.
IL is understood that the commit

men are working on an average
only a little over four days a week.
and that most of the lost time Is
attributable to booze"
Fuel A administrator Garfield has
taken no part in the controversy,
but the committee announces "it is
understood that Fuel Administrator
Garfield has transmitted the recon-
mendation of the National Coal As
sociation to President Wilson, who

additional data on time lost at the
mines through drinking has also
been made available to the Presi-

Ladysmith Testimony Remains Tn.
shaken


Time is the best test of truth. Here
is Ladysmith story that has stood
the test of time. 1t is story with
point which will come straight home
to many of us.
Mrs. Adam Reidner. 200 Tenth ST.,
says: my back ached and hurt me
terribly and / had shooting pains
through my loins and hips. | was
also bothered with lameness in other
parts of my body and felt weak and
tired all the time. / had headaches
and dizzy spells and often felt as
though l were going to faint. | knew
my kidneys were not in good condi-
ton because they acted irregularly
and / had inflammation of the blad-
der. After suffering that way for
about six years and trying different
remedies without any help l became
discouraged \ friend then got me to
try Doan's Kidney Pills and they soon
relieved me. Before long my back
stopped aching, my kidneys acted reg
ularly again and the inflammation of
the bladder all disappeared. My
health has improved in every way"
Statement given December 1, 1919
On October 2, 1917 Mrs. Reidner
said Several years ago | had kidney
trouble and Doan's Kidney Pills cured
me- My kidneys have been in good
condition ever since then and / am
| glad to keep on recommending Doans.'

eighth and Concluding InStallmenC)
In this closing chapter of my report
on Germany, / will narrate incidents
that forced themselves to my notice
regarding the terrible shortage of food,
clothing and other material that are
essential for the successful conduct of
the war by the German militaristS.
Meantime, at the expense of repeating
myself too often, let me once more
state that, to my firm conviction, the
terrible privatiOns the German people
are undergoing will not greatly influ-
ence the war policy of the Prussian
the contrary, as later events will
prove, the extreme privatiOn of the
civil population of Germany will IN
cense our militaristS into desperate and
even suicidal fury.
Soldiers Fed at Expense of Civilians
And let me repeat myself still once
more In spite of the Understandable
privatiOn the civil population of Ger
many is undergoing, the German sol
diers the armies at the fronts, are be-
ing fully fed and clothed, and their
present ration is only slightly smaller
than it was three years ago.
There are more than hundred thou
sand people in the industrial centers
of North Germany who are actually
starving, but Germany as a whole is
not starving. The people are simply
going through process of dieting,
losing weight, losing health. succumb-
ing to diseases which are the result of
bad quality of food But they are not
yet actually starving, and even at this
rate the actual starvation and Surren-
der will not be reached till the middle
of 1919, providing, of course, that in
the meantime the German armies are
not able to open new revenues of food.
clothing. and raw material.
The Fly Pest i'm Berlin

The Misbehaving War Bread

The price of bread is not very high
but that food commodity has ceased to
be bread any longer. During the early
days of my arrival at Berlin l could
not eat the war bread as served at ho-
tells or public restaurants, and this is
even somewhat better than what they
serve at average homes. The war
bread has dark brown color, very

What They Were Told

| told my friends in many North
German cities that America had al
ready landed force of men to
take their places along with the
French. / convinced them that my
information regarding the number of
men was correct as | had learned from
friends who had recently visited
Switzerland from France.
My friends awakening was ex-
tremely rude, and they became down
cast. They had been fed on studied
lies, lies of all kinds. They had become
ignorant of every event that was
transpiring both abroad and at home.
They seldom believed in their Govern
ment bulletins but the constant, per-
sistent, insistent and methodical repe-
ton of those studied lies had finally
convinced the German people. My
readers would understand the food
situation in Germany better il I tell
them that pure butter has sold in Ber-
lin at 80 marks per pound. Coffee and
tea unadulterated is practically inn
possible to procure, and when it is
possible to procure it, the price varies
from go to as high as so marks per
pound. (The present value of the
mark is 16 cents in American money,
while in pre-war days the mark was
equal to "a cents.

GREAT DAY FOR SHRNERS
Fezzod Invaders from Albuquerque
and e PaSO Took DsmlnO BY
Storm Saturday.
BIG Glass Of Trembling NOvlcss Made
the PsrlIOus Trip Across the
Hot Sands.

The Shriners from Ballut Abyad
temple, Albuquerque, descended on
Deming in force last Saturday in
their announced emergency pilgrim
age across the burning sands" and
spent a most eventful day as we'll as
a profitable one, if the acquisition Of
nearly half a hundred new member
ships may be called profit.
The visitors from the north spent
the forenoon witnessing the review
of the 34th division by Brig Gen.
Helviek at the old polo field, two
miles southwest of town, whether
they we're conducted in autos placed
at their disposal by the local con-
mittee Of mobiles, composed Of NJ. A.
NOrdhaus, A. A. Temke, E. L.
FOulks, Col. Hyatt, Major Nelly and
Capt. German. Returning therefrom,
they found reinforcements awaiting
them in the shape of two Pullman
loads Of fezzed heads from III Mai
da temple at FL Paso, and proceeded
thereupon to capture the town by
sheer weight of numbers-in fact the
keys of the city were delivered up to
them without resistance.
At one o'clock a grand parade, the
most noteworthy features Of which
were patriotic in their conception,
formed and traversed the principal
streets of the business section. This
parade was led by the bands Of the
l33d and l25th infantry from Camp
Cody, led by Sergt. Jacob Schmidt
and Sergt. E. C. Meyer respective
ly. The Tooth ammunition train, in
command Of Col. Hyatt, also parti-
cipated and furnished several pat
riOtic features. The quaking "novi.
cess" awaiting their fearsome ordeal
on the hot sands, brought up the
rear, each y airing a label proclaim
ing to the l.Olic some particular per-
sonal weakness that might be expect
ed to add to the hazard of his COM
ing adventure. German Tank" was
one label that nobody with an ounce
Of fight in him should be expected
to stand for in these times. "a
Crapshooting jew" had to be borne
in silence by another unfortunate.
From the parade the novices were
led direct to the temporary temple at
the armOry for initiation to the mys-
teries Of the order, the ceremonials
consuming the balance Of the after
noon. From the fragmentary reports
that were permitted to reach the out
side all pulled through without ia
tility.
The days crowded events closed
with a brilliant ball at the armory
at 9 a. M, given under the manage
ment Of and for the benefit of the
Red Cross, which was attended by
practically the entire personnel of
of the Shriner delegations and the
novice class.
The visitors remained in town over
Sunday for a trip to Camp Cody,
where they were variously entertain
ed, attending the grand band con-
cert at the stadium in the afternoon.
