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
irregularity; those headaches and
dizzy spells; that weak, weary, worn
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 is time-begin treating your
kidneys at once with tried and
proven kidney remedy. No need to
experiment Doan's Kidney Pills
have been successfully used in thous-
ands of cases of kidney trouble for

condition. 1 had a constant, dull

As 70 Declaration of War.

There is no set form for q declara-
tion Of war and 1t has even been ques-
toned whether a formal declaration
of any kind Is necessary. An Ameri-
can writer on international war says:
IAN act of hostility, unless 10 be done
in the urgency of self-preservation or
by way of reprisal Is in itself a full
declaration of intention; any sort of
previous declaration therefore Is an
empty formality unless an enemy must
be given time and opportunity to put
himself In state of defense, and 1t
Is needless to say that no one asserts
such thing to be obligatory
Formal declaration of war preceding
the beginning Of hostilitles was more
common in ancient times and In the
middle ages than In modern times. In
vestigation has shown that OF 11S wars
between 100 and 1872 less than ten
showed declarations of war prior to
hostilities.

WAR GARDENERS

announced. This has ranged anywhere
from 10 to 60 per cent. In the Eastern
portions there was a failure to note
a gain on the early returns.
THE greatest percentage of In
crease" the commissions statement
adds, twas made in the Central West
ern states and Pacific coast, taking
any one section of the country as a
whole. There an awakening has taken
place which revealed Itself In an en-
thusiastic, widespread drive to help
home food production. OF the total
number of war gardens In the United
States, the preliminary reports show
that more than 100000 of them
2,276,000, to be exact--were in the
Central Western territory. There was
gain of fully 80 per cent over the
war garden activity Of last year.
Eastern States Tagging.
1.-THE Eastern states, including New
England, New York, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and Delaware, on the
whole showed little increase over last
year. In certain parts of all this ter
ritory there has been a better show
ing and particularly has there been
greater activity among manufactur-
ing concerns In providing land for
their employees; but these gains have
been counteraeted to a certain extent
by less activity in other places so that
the amount of food homegrown along
the upper Atlantic coast this year will
be. slightly If any greater than last
year. Better cultivation in hundreds
of cases may make up for what is lack
ing In numbers. In New York the park
department alone reports 1900 war
gardens 20 by 40 The total number
Of war gardens In this territory, as
shown by the reports, is $4,000, of
which 737000 are In New York, Penn
sylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.
1.-THE South has made an excellent
record, certain states in particular
having made notable gains. Including
Texas and Oklahoma, there are q total
of 1,246,000 war gardens in the South
ern states this year, one-fourth of the
number In the entire United States.
California. Washington and Oregon
show total of 100000 war gardens.
That the war gardeners intend to save
great part of the garden crop is
shown In the 200 entries received up
to July for the canning contests that
garden clubs are organizing all over
