The Kind That Paris People Cannot
Deny.

Many an earnest Paris man or
woman has publicly endorsed Doan's
Kidney Pills.
Week after week, month after
month you've read their statements.
Would these Paris people recon-
mend any medicine if it were not
good?
Would they confirm and repeat
their statements after years had
passed?
Local proof is good evidence.
Testimony confirmed years after is
better evidence.
The following Paris mans state
ment leaves no room for doubt.

ferer who reads it.

DO YOU SLEEP WELL?

To be at his best man must have
sound, refreshing sleep. When wake
full and restless at night he is in no
condition for work or business dur
ing the day. Wakefulness is often
caused by indigestion and constipa-
ton, and is quickly relieved by
Chamberlain Tablets. Try a dose
of these tablets and see how much
better you feel with clear head and
good Indigestion.

The Nermin keep the wound open,

sible.
Since the comparative sterilization
of the fighting on this front, a Ger

five days. In every case the men will
recover. though amputation is neces-
sary occasionally.

OUR PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY
Gn an Address by Francis H. Sisson)

(In an Address by Francis H. Sisson)
 Francis H. Sisson, vice president of the Guarantee Trust Co., New York, in recent address before the National Association of Garment Manufacturers said:
 "As our participation in the war progresses there is one fact which daily stands out in boder rellef. And that is that are fighting autocracy not only from without but also from within do not re1er to enemy spies and propaganda grave as their men ace is, but a far more serious peril mean those foes of democracy who enjoy her protection ana yet strike her from behind because of blind sefIshness
 q speak of the autocrats of business, the auocras of labor and the autocrats of prejudice They are as much the allies of Prussia as though they were en- listed under the double eagle of Germany or the crescent of Turkey-and infinitely more to be feared because they sap and mine our strength at it's very source They are the worst enemies of the Republic, the most dangerous expression of auocracy.
 we have readily recognized our duty to make democracy safe for the world but as yet we do not fully comprehend the fact that are fighting for national freedom quite much as did our fore1atners 1776. Because of our great distance from the pat tlefields of Europe, have not clearly visuazed the truth that unless we win this war the very iou, dation of liberty for which those patriots lald their lives at Lexington at Concord at Bunker Hill will destroyed And every class, group, or individual among that puts selfish interests before patriotism is helping Germany to accomplish that very catastrophe
 'The same national unity which must develop to win the war will be required to meet the interna- tional trade struggle which will follow in the wake
 ..Every American, therefore, must govern his life and direct his activities though the fate of the country depended upon him alone Then there will be no confusion or purpose no uncertain mot motives but, instead clarified atmosphere for the most ef- fectiVo use Of our tremendous nervous eHeTSy, III ventve resourcefuness, undeniable and SUI perb moral initiative.
 If we fail to give the full measure of devotion to country the time will inevitably come when shall have to pay many times over the price of that which we selfishly withhold at present.
 We recognize that each and every one of us, and not merely Government is at war. Thus only win the glorious victory which will be if combine to exert all our power for the achievement of that supreme objective There lies the line of business advantage for us all to speed the day victorious peace of democracy triumphant, of nation prosberous and united facing it's manifest destiny of world leadership"

 One way to be popular is to keep busy. If you haven't enough business 0 keep you busy and make some.
 A man thinks that ti is big and brave that his wife doesn't care a hang where he goes or what time he gets in. But the fact of the matter is that there is something wrong about ! woman who is that kind of wife.
 We have often wondered why female colleges do not organize football teams. Perhaps the reason is because no girl will admit that she is heavy enough for the line.
 And what has become of the old fashioned schooltea cher who used to use machine strap on the palm of a boys hand when she whipped him?
 Another trouble with this country is that we have too many good orators and not enough good listeners
