ION more than one occasion during
the past several years, I was confined n
my bed and hardly able to move on ac-
count Of severe attacks of kidney COM
plants" says Mr.. Bourg AT times. I
would go for year or more and have
no trouble of this kind at all: then a
spell would come on suddenly and lar
me up and I would suffer for weeks at
time. At lines, when arising in the
morning, felt good deal of stiffness
and lameness across my loins and kid
neys and lacked strength and energy.
finally began using Doan's Kidney
Pills and took a little over two boxes.
The pains soon left my back, the other
symptoms disappeared and felt as we'll
as ever. Doan's are a wonderful med
icine."
The above statement was given June
1908 and on February II, 1918. NJ.

INSTALLING STATE SUFFRAGE.

The Louisiana Suffrage Campaign
Committee believes that the best argu.
ment it can present is to show the SUI
frage map and let the growth of womsn
suffrage speak for itself Accordingly, i,
has voted to place in every community
map showing where women vote on
equal terms with men-where they have
almost full suffrage as in 1llinois-and
primary suffrage as in Arkansas and
Texas. It believes that every man that
sees that map will realize that woman
suffrage is inevitable, and his duty now
to vote to keep suffrage under State reg
ulation, and not encourage the ratifica-
ton of a federal amendment by his policy
of opposition or indifference.t

in trouble. When you go to your room
you pull down the blind before you light
the lamp, and you will entinguish the
lamp before again raising it. Automo-

SUCCESS OF AMERICAS WAR OPE.
RATIONS ACTUALLY IMPERILED
BY DEFICIENCY IN LABOR
SUPPLY.

Appeal to the Public Through the Loya
Press
A decidedly critical-almost desperat,
situation exists in regard to the labo,
supply
Advices from Washington are that the
present shortage of common labor in Es'
sential War Industries amounts to Ons
Million Men.
As result of this condition vitality
important war-wOrk is being retarded
all over the country.
The Midvale Steel Plant at Coates
vile, Pa, manufacturing munitions for
our Army, has been forced to shut down
part of the plant for lack of labor.
Unless 5000 laborers are Immediately
forthcoming, construction work on :Ae
vitality important Picric Acid Plant at
Brunswick, Ga, will cease.
Part of the construction work ct
Muscle Shoals, Ala, Though not the Air
Nitrates plant proper has been ordered
discontinued for the time being.
A similar condition prevails with other
Essential War Industries. All this be-
cause of lack of labor-while many
men, rich and poor, white and black, are
still idling and loafing; and thousands
of others are frittering away their time
in non-essential work.
The condition is shameful one for
for the American people to face. It
must be changed Immediately.
Unless we speed up the work of pro
duction in this country, the q American
Army in France, whose glorious achieve
ments have thrilled the Nation, will face
the coming winter with insufficient sup
plies; our progress toward victory over
the Hun will be retarded, and eventually
widespread want will confront victory
over the Hun viii be retarded, and
eventually widespread want will con-
front our peoples.
Labor slackers cannot ease their con-
sciences by purchasing Liberty Bonds
and War Savings Stamps at 4 per cent
interest!
Arouse Your People to This Peril!
Newspaper men everywhere, coming
% the aid Of the Department of Labor,
must arouse the people of this peril.
Make it hotter than hades for the loafer
ind part-time worker Tell the fell
ow in non-war work that he must i'm
nediatelv get into some productive war
work. Washington has just decreed
hat the following are non-essential oc-
upations and that able-bodied men must
,et out Of them:
Auto industry accessories; drivers of
pleasure cars: cleaning or repairing or
delivery of the same; sightseeing cars;
uto trucks other than those hauling fuel !

UNITED STATES 3xoz.

Schoolmaster-Prior to the time OF
the rules restricting use of sugar, how
much did we have for each person in
the United States?
Pupil-Three and q half ounces
daily per person.
Schoolmaster-Ho much did the
English have?
Pupil-Seven-eights of a. ounce
daily per person.
Schoolmaster-What was the daily
sugar allowance per person for the
French7
Pupil-One-half ounce.
Schoolmaster-Does that mean each
person was given that much sugar for
use on the table? sr.
Pupp-No. That was the entire per
capita national consumption, including
use Of sugar for the table, for baker
les, for candy, pop and other pur-
poses.
Schoolmaster- much sugar did
submarines sink in their raids on our
Coast?
Pupil-Twenty-six thousand tons.
Twenty-six thousand tons equals fiji
ty-two million pounds, or enough to
give every person in Kansas one ounce
per day for fifteen months.
Observation-Disclosures is not as much
sugar now ss formerly, take it?
Pupil-No. Various causes have
reduced the supply. One Of these is
the transfer of ships from the sugar
carrying trade to transporting food
to- our million and a half men in
France.
Schoolmaster-Then we must take
some sugar away from one Of the
three persons represented in the pic
ture. Shall we take it away from the
Frenchf
Pupil-By no means. Take It away
from the spoon which Is full and run
ming over. Let US reduce the Ameri-
can table allowance to two pounds
per person per month, or one ounce
daily. We will still have two times
more than the French, and, besides.
there will be sugar for home canning
and baking and other needful food
products.
Schoolmaster-Can the Germans de-
feat the United States by depriving
us Of sugar?
Pupil-Neverl We are so glad for q
chance to help win the war that all
the children l know Of are going with
out candy to make the Kaiser mad.
My mother is canning mostly without
sugar and father has quit using sugar
in his coffee. I have just one spoon
full Of sugar on my cereal, when for
merly I used to have two.
Schoolmaster-Very good. You
have answered all questions correctly.
