A Stitch In Time.
Edgerton People Should Not Neg
lect Their Kidneys.

No kidney ailment is unimportant.
DON'T overlook the slightest backache
or urinary irregularity. Nature may be
warning you of approaching dropsy,
gravel or Bright's disease. Kidney
disease is seldom fatal if treated in
time, but neglect may pave the way.
Don't neglect a lame or aching back
another day. Don't ignore dizzy spells,
headaches, WEAKNESS or depression. II
you feel you need kidney help begin
using the reliable, time-tried remedy,
Doan's Kidney Pills. For SO years
Doan's have been found effective. En-
dorsed by grateful people.
Mrs. Mohns, 80 n. Academy street,
GAINESVILLE, Wis, says: Il was suffer
ing from an attack of kidney trouble.
I began using Doan's Kidney Pills and
about one box cured me.
NO TROUBLE SINCE.
Over four years later Mrs. Mohns
said: 81 haven't had trouble from my
kidneys since Doan's Kidney Pills cured
me-"

ply ask for kidney remedy = get

VII SON WARNS Of
COAL SHORTAGE
Asks Operators and Miners to
Speed Production.
FUEL SCARCITY Is WAR PERIL
Executive in Proclamation Appeals to
All Persons Engaged in Coal Min
ing to Take Prompt Action to
Remove Menace.

Washington, Aug. II. = President
Wilson, aroused over the grave dan
ger in the coal situation of the coun-
try and continuing decreases in pro-
ductiOn, addressed a proclamation on
Sunday to all persons engaged in coal
ming, calling for prompt and vigor-
Gus action by operators and miners
Text of Proclamation.
The text Of the presidents procla-
nation reads:
"The existing scarcity Of coal IS
creating a grave danger-in fact, the
most serious which cOnfrOntS uS-and
calls for prompt and vigorous action
on the part of both oprators and min
ers. Without an adequate supply our
war program will be retarded; the Ell
fectiveness Of our fighting forces IN
France will be Iessened; the lives OF
our soldiers will be unnecessarily en-
dangered and their hardShips N
creased, and there win be much suffer
ing in many homes during the winter
Il am well aware that your ranks
have been seriously depleted by the
the demands Of other essential! indus
tries. This handicap can be over
come, however, AND sufficient coal can
be mined in spite Of it, if every one
connected with the industry, from the
highest official to the youngest boy
will give his best work every day for
the full number Of working hours.
"The miners should report for work
every day unless prevented by IN
vOidable causes, and should not only
stay in the mines The full time but also
see to it that they get out more coal.
Must Work Hand in Hand.
"ThOse who are drafted but who are
essential will be given deferred classi-
fication, and t is their patriotic duty
to accept it. And it is the patriotic
duty of their friends and neighbOrs TO
hold them in high regard for doing
so. The only worker who deserves the
condemnation Of his community is the
one who fails to give his best in this
crisis. not the one who accepts de-
ferred classification and works regu-
larly and diligently to increase the
coal output.
A great task is to be performed.
The operators and their staff alone
cannot do it, nor can the mine workers
alone do it, but both parties. working
hand in hand, with q grim determina-
ton to rid the country of it's greatest
obstacle to winning the war, can do
it. 1t is with full confidence that l
coll ,,DOn Won tO n cCIImn tho burdnO of
producing an ample supply of coal.
You will, 1 am sure, accept this bur-
den, and will successfully carry it
through; and in so doing you will be
performing 4 service just as worthy as
service in the trenches, and will win
the applause and gratitude of the
whole nation.

EarIy intoxicating Liquors.

Pliny says: ''Tke natives who in
habit the west of Europe have liquid
with which they intoXicate themselves,
made from corn and water. The man.
ner of making this liquid differs. In
Gaul and Spain and other countries it
is called by different names, but its
nature and properties are everywhere
the same.
''The people of Spain in particular
brew this liquid so well that it will
keep long time. SO exquisite is the
cunning of mankind in gratifying their
vicious appetites that they have thus
invented method to make water itself
produce intoxicatiore"

BRiTlS.4-IA2AN TROOPS

8olaheviki Flee 70 Kronstadt-Fear
Army Of 3o0,000-Hun Policy
Fails in East.

London Aug 13.-British and Jap
anese troops which were landed at
VIadivostoll have joined the CzechO-
Slovak forces who are fighting against
German control in Siberia. The Brit
ish troops are cooperating with the
Slav army on the Usuri river, about
100 miles north Of Vladivostok.
With the increase Of Czecho-SlOvak
and other armed anti-bolshevik forces
in greater Russia to more than 100000
men, Premier Lenine and his foreign
secretary, Leon Trotzky, have fled
from Moscow to Kronstadt, the naval
base near PetrOgrad according to a
dispatch by the semi-ofiicial Wolff bu-
reaU at Berlin.
The Berlin LOkal Anzeiger states
that the entire bOlshevik government
will be moved TO Kr0nstadt.
Commenting Oh the removal of Doc
tor Helfferich, the German ambassa-
dor, from Moscow to PskOv because he
feared for his life, the Berlin Vossische
Zeitung says:
Moscow is in the hands of anti
German elements and the followers OF
the social revolutionists of the left.
This would show that the bOisheviki
rule at Moscow is at an end, and this
is the case not only at Moscow but in
the greater part of Russia, if not in
the whole Russian empire.
"This throws q vivid light on the
failure of the German policy in the
East"

CHOOSING a Wife.

1t was Sir John More, father of the

would compare the multitude of WON

unto a bag full of snakes having
among them a single eel. Now, if
a man should put his hand into this
bag, he may chance to light ON the eel
but it is a hundred to one he shall be
stung by a snake" Sir John had evi'

counts for his lack Of chivalry.

Wanted Officers 10 Learn Dancing.

That the great Lord Nelson urged
his midshipmen to learn dancing has
been discovered through the publica-
ton of a letter written by the hero
of Trafalgar to the earl of Cork. Cap
tain Nelson as he then was wrote: sit
it necessary that your son should be
made complete in his navigation, and
if the peace continues, French is abso-
lutely necessary. Dancing is an &C
complishment that probably a sea of
ficer may require. You will see almost
the necessity Of it, when employed in
foreign countries; indeed, the honor of
the nation is so often entrusted to sea
officers that there is no accomplish
ment which will not shine with pc

Superstition Concerning Moon.


That the moon can make people
mad is still a prevalent belief, and
even most of those who pride them
selves on being free from all supersti-
ton would hesitate to lie where the
moon can shine upon them while they
sleep. For would they not run the
risk of being moon struckw Does
not Othello in the agony of his soul
exclaim:
TITS the very error Of the moon,
She comes more near the earth than she
was wont,
And makes men mad.
Science ridicules all Of this today,
pointing out that the moon can send us
nothing but her light, which is only a
feeble reflection of that Of the sun, and
the attraction Of her gravity, which
seems to affect the rise and fall of the
tides.

She drew a sigh of relief as she
noted the door of communication be-

closed. Dora was evidently undress-

Disrobing hastily, she shook down

from Dora, she turned out her light
and got into bed.
Lying there, she heard her cousin
go back and forth in her room. pre-

ways slow about dressing and un-
dressing. The last one who was
ready for bed usually opened the
door between the two apartments.
At the end of twenty minutes.

Advice to the Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
DANCES

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Three girls have been asked to at
well known to the girls. Is is proper
for the girls to dance with people
at the affair that they will be intro
duced to- through these young men
without the party asking permission
of the scort? This is a frequent
question that arises?
ROWENA.
Naturally when your escorts in
troduce you to their friends they are
practically telling you that they want
you to meet and know each other. So
YOU may dance with the men to whom
you are introduced by these escorts.
But you must not neglect your hosts.
must give them first preference and
must not show such desire for any
body else's society as to humiliate
those who took you to the dance.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Am engaged to a man %. His in

by summer. / wonder how we can.
He has no savings, and still gives his
entire salary to his father. His father
is in business for years, and they
have a very nice home. I love him
and respect him very much. and for
that reason have not discussed the
question with him. once in the course
OF conversation he told me he wanted
to be good to his parents. and they
are in need now.
II. d.
My dear, dear girl, there is only
one thing for you to do. You must
discuss it with the young man. Talk
ing over the situation with me can't
do anybody bit of good You must
find out how long his parents will
need his support. whether they are
in actual need now. if they are going
to require his help after your mar
riage. The only policy for two young
people about to enter upon matri-
mony to adopt in regard to their

over the situation. and find out just
where you stand. Don't let false deli
cacy about money matters wreck your
