Get New kidneys f!

The kidneys are the most -overworked
organs of the human body, and when they
fail in their work of filtering out and
throwing off the poisons developed in the
system, things begin to happen.
One of the first warnings is pain or stiff
ness in the lower part of the back; highly
colored urine; loss of Appetite; indiges-
ton; irritation, OF even stone in the blad-
der. These symptoms indicate a condition
that may lead to that dreaded and fatal
malady, Bright's disease, for which there
is said to be no cure.
Do not delay a minute. At the first in
dication of trouble in the kidney, liver,
bladder or. urinary organs start taking
Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules, and
save yourself before it is too late. Instant
treatment is necessary in kidney and blad-
der troubles. A delay is often fatal.
You can almost certainly find immediate
relief in Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules.
For more than 200 years this famous prep.
aration has been an unfailing remedy for
all kidney, bladder and urinary troubles.
1t is the pure, original HARLEM Oil your
great-grandmother used. About two cap
sules each day will keep you toned up and
feeling fine. Get it at any drug store, and

Caroline. Sylvester and the captain
reached South Denboro after what

more forbidding scene.
But she kept her feelings hidden on

probably the happiest individual In the
state of Massachusetts, that morning.
He hailed the trains approach to Sand

station on excitedly pointed out ia
miliar landmarks and bits of scenery
and buildings with the gusto and en-
thusiasm of schoolboy.

and buggy came from which had been
the means of transporting Graves and
himself to South Denboro.

sIav Soviets Ratify German Peace
Agreement by Vote Of 453 to 80
at Moscow.

Washington, March 15.-The attitude
of the American government towards
any German move towards a general
peace at the expense of Russia is di-
rectly in line with the expression OF
Lord Robert Cecil in the House OF
Commons that even if such a proposal
came from Germany it would not be
considered.
War Department officials are not
convinced that the Germans are ready
to undertake a big offensive on the
western front despite advanced notices
sem out from Germany. Whatever
Germany's program, however, America
and the allies, it was reiterated, are in
the wal to win and their stand against
a premature peace is as strong as 1t
has been at any time in the past.
Petrograd. March 1.-THE all-Rus-
sian Congress of Soviets, meeting at
Moscow by a vote of 453 to 30, de-
cided to ratify the peace treaty with
the central powers. NJ. Ryazonov, a
prominent Bolshevix theorist, and rep
rcsentatives of all the professional
unions, resigned from the Bolshevik
party after the vote.
One year ago March IA Emperor
Nicholas abdicated as autocrat of Rus
STA and Thursday the all-Russian Con-
gress of Soviets by an overwhelming
vote agreed to German peace terms.
German militarism takes from the

sands of square miles of land and mil
lions of inhabitants contained in the

Poland, Courland, Lithuania, Esthonia.
Livonia and the Ukraine in Europe

Caucasus. The Russian army must
demobilize, the Russian fleet is in
termed and favorable trade agreements
are to be given Germany and her al
lies.
Announcement of allied policy to-
ward Russia and of Japanese inten-
tons in eastern Siberia probably will
follow quickly the news that the Le-
nine government, after four months
OF rule, has surrendered completely to
the demands of Germany and opened
up the vast European and Asiatic ter
ritories to German economic and mill
tary penetration.
The question of japanese interven-
ton in Siberia has brought from For
eign Secretary Balfour in the British
House of Commons the declaration
that he had every confidence in ia

be decided to take in the Far East.
Japan, he said, would act as the friend
of Russia and as the emissary of the

STA to combat German penetration and
save the revolution.
Petrograd, March 16.-Fresh disor-
ders have occurred in the German
fleet off the Aland islands, according
to the Russian military newspaper,
Krasnaya Armia. The Germfns it is
added, have occupied Razdielnaya sta
ton on the Odessa railway line, and
the evacuation of Odessa and Nichol-
