ONE WEAK SPOT
Many Skaeway People Have a Weak Part and Too Often It's the Back

i Many people have a weak spot.
 Too often it's a bad back.
 Twinges follow every sudden twist.
 Dull aching keeps up, day and night.
 Backache is often from weak kidneys.
 In such cases a kidney medicine is needed.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys. For backache and urinary ills.
 Good proof of merit in the follow ing statement. . James Cubbon, mgr. Victor Clean ing and Dye Works, 1908 Yesler Way, Seattle, Wash, says: My kidneys were ln. bad shape and every time bent over it seemed as tho my back would break. The kidney secretions were unnatural, being scanty. painful and irregular in passage. My work as a tailor kept me bent Overand that made me suf- fer all the more. l was lame and stifF all over and could hardly straighten up. It wasn't any time before Doan's Kidney Pills had helUed me and I was cured of every sign of the trouble" Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for 6 kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Ms. Cubbon had. Foster-Mil- burn Co.,, Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

But face ache kept him at home, and soon after he made a great splash" as newspaper reporter. Thereafter he reproduced "character and oddity" on paper in stead of the stage.

DIPLOMATIC FORMS.
The "orotocol" Is "ths Code of intSr-
 national Politsness."

The "9rotocoI" Is "ths Code of Inter-
 national PolitsnesS."
 In these days of official notes and replies the public is becoming familiar with the language of the diplomatic document, and even those who never heard of the famous protocol, which lies in the archives of the foreign office in Paris, must have noticed the simt- larity of form which characteriZes such expressions The "protocOle diploma tique." which was probably drawn up in the time of Louis XIV, is body of ceremonial rules to be observed in all written or personal official inter course between the heads of different states or their ministers. It goes into the minutest detail as to the styles and title to be given to states, their heads and their public ministers, and indi- cates the forms and courtesles to be observed in all international acts"
 The protocol is. in fact, what NJ. Pradicr- -FOdcre, well known authority on the subject, has described it, the code Uf international politcness," for, as time went on, all nations gradually began to adopt the same forms, until today the coIn may be said to be prac- tically universal in It's application. It devotes special attention to such mat ters as the ending of letter. Thus, as recent wriser has pointed out, when the British foreign minister con- clu,gcS q letter to the British ambassa- dor at Washington with the words, T am. with great truth and respect. sir, vour cxccllcnCy': most obedient, hum- hle servant" he iS governed by prece- dent even in such a detail as giving sir" line tu ChrI&tian Science Monitor

KEEP THE TOWN CLEAN.
Make It a Campaign to Last as LoHS
 as There's Work to Do.


 Don't call 1t a cleanup day or a cleanup week when you start out to really do something to make your town or community 8 cleaner, safer, health fer place in which to live, suggests a state board of health bulletin. Or, rather, don't let 1t be the prevailing idea that one day or one week is sutti- Cient in which to clean up and get rid of all nuisances and health dangers. And. what is still more important, don't think that when you have cleaned off q few vacant lots and al leys. set out few trees and carted on the trash and papers from few back yards that you have had a successful cleanup campaign. AS matter of fact, you haven't touched the dirty dirt or removed any of the real dangers to health and safety.
 It is true that trash and rubbish are unsiGhtly and should be removed, but in comparison to flies and the feeding and breeding places of flies rubbish Is not the filthy filth that we think 1t Is. To some people flies may not look as bad as trash, but 1t is only to those who don't know where they breed, what they eat and the number and kind of disease germs they carry oT their feet. It is this kind Cf filth that a cleanup campaign should go after and clean up.
 A cleanup campaign should not stop at a week. at a month or season un- less the town or community has in reality reached the point where 1t can clean up and keep clean. NO spaSmodic effort at cleanliness gets results. It does not only fail to get clean and attractive town, but 1t is worse than nothing as a means of safeguarding health. The cleanup campaign that is worth while Is that which induces the people to clean up and keep clean all the year round and which goes after the dangerous flth-Ales, surface clos cts that admit flies and breeding places for flies. Breeding places for mosQui- toes might well be added to the list.

They Simply Won't ee Married.

Several young men were recently asked by writer in the Woman's Home Companion why they refused to be married. Their answers throw con siderable light on what is becoming national problem. One said that girls are too clever for the men nowadays that he wanted just a wife" and the girl he had been engaged to marry was making more money than he was and refused to give up her work. Another complained of the expensive tastes or the modern young woman, another that be had set out to accomplish Cer- tain things before marrying. Still an- other refused to be sentenced to hard labor for life. and one complained that the lUsal gl-iS were n bit narrow"

A Turkish Love Story.

4 Turk knocked at his belOved's door and a, voice answered from within "Who Is theref'
 Then he answered, Tt is l."
 Then the voice said, This house will not hold thee and me"
 And the door was not opened.
 Then went the lover Into the desert, where there is nothing but Allah, and lasted and prayed in solitude.
 And after a year he returned and knocked again at the door.
 And again the voice asked, Who is there?"
 And he said, 1t is myself"
 And the door was opened to him.

FOOD WINS THE WAR DON'T WASTE IT :
UKRAINIAN PEACE PACT

The separate peace between the central powers and the new Ukrain- ian republic in Southern Russia is the fu.U,lment Of the promise made by Baron yon kuehmaun weeks ago. If it were not for the fact that r1e Ukraine is the richest part of Russia and has immeuse re sources in grain. oil and coal, th" peace pact would not disturb the entente allies. 1t is feared that the friendly arrangement will open tae way 10 the repleuishment of Geruauy's and Austrja's depleted stores.
 Tna Ukraine republic was repre- seurs6 at Bres5 Licovsk by two sets Of dgIegates, one Of which was in sympathy with the Bolsheyiki. When TrotzEv decided that the German peace program was impossible, Eou Kueclmann secretly negotiated with the opposition delegates, with the resuI. that a separate peace was arranged. That the Bolsheyiki, who recently captured Odessa, prin- cipal city in the Ukraine republic, will find the developments dis tasteful is certain. but, without the means Of resisting, it is uh- likely that German plans will meet with serious interference.
 Jince the purpose of the Teu- ton; to hold all the conquered Rus sian territory became known to Trotzky and Leniue, the efforts Of the Germans have been directed to- ward keeping Russia in a turmoil. Ite Russian army has been disor- gauized, so there is no longer any chance of attack. The remnants of the empire are therefore left to tn: kalser's mercy.
 Early in the war Germany spread its propaganda in the Ukraine. The German population in the district vas considerable, and with this as a nucleus. German sentiment was manufactured just as it was at Petrograd. The TeutOns are now preparing to harvest the fruit of that campaign of peaceful pene- tration."
 When the BOlsbeyiki came in- to control, the Ukraine declared it's independence of Russia and an nounced a plan of organizing q fed eration Of Russian republics based upon nationalities. Seeing that the Ukraine had the only stable gov ernment in Russia, France recog- nized it as a separate country and sent 8 mission. Great Britain al ss displayed g friendly interest in the republics affairs, but it now develops that the bourgeois rada, the Ukrainiau legislative assembly, found it advantageous to abandon the entente allies and negotiate with GermaDy.-Seattle P,-I.

CHINESE FARMS SMALL.
Hardly More Than Gardens, and the
 Cultivation Is Intensive.

Cultivation Is Intensive.
 It is incorrect to speak of the Chinese as farmers in the strict sense Of the word. for they are gardeners rather than farmers. A SO called Chinese farm is no larger than what in Amerl- ca would be called good sized gar den. and the methods of cultivation are of the most intensive sort.
 Generally speaking, it seems that the greater the prosperity of the aSricul- tural family the larger the number Of children; henSe in turn the greater the number of mouths to feed. ln addition prosperous conditions always bring with them greater expenses incident to family festivities, such as weddings, which stand out as all important con alterations in the lives of the Chinese.
 In Manchuria the conditions are somewhat different, for there are vast stretches of land Oren to cultivation on 8 much larger scale than in China proper. These tracts are generally worked by hired farmers, who come in hundreds of thousands from the more denseIy populated sections of China to spend the short farming season in northern portions, returning again when the cold weather makes further labor in the fields impossible.-United States Consular Report

Little Oscar Long Dead.
(Contributed)

Little Oscar Long, Jr., was born March
%, 1916, and died May the %, 1913. He
was sick only two weeks. Everything
possible was done for his recovery but
God who knows best took him to a better
world. He is now with the angles. He
was a sweet child and general favor
lite; everybody who knew little Oscar low
ed him because of his beautiful disposit-
ion. The funeral service was conducted
by the Pastor Rev. Mr.. Hill at Mt. Olive
church where his parents have their
membership. The large audience pres
ent with many tears and flowers was
proof of the esteem they all had for the
departed one, and of the sympathy for
the heart broken parents. While little
Oscar has gone and left us, and his little
vacant chair almost breaks our hearts,
and we feel that his place in the home
can never be filled, let us remember that
he has place in heaven where he is
happy and where we can 60 and be with
him some day. May God comfort the be-
A., reaved parents.

Our Vacation

Vacation days are here once more
With countless joys in their train;
Well put away our long used books,
And leave behind our school day looks.
Well bid farewell to Latin and History
And Geometry with all its unsolved
MYSTERY.
And spend a while in the land of
vacation
Where all is delight and no vexation.
Well hear no more the call of the bell.
That summons US with it's tolling knell
But we'll miss our teachers smiling faces
Who bravely put us through our PAGES.
But when we're enjoying our vacation,
We should not forget to help our
nation;
A war garden we should all begin,
To help our boys in France to win.
Of Thrift Stamps we should add still
more,
To right the wrong and peace restore
When the boys again at home shall sit,
Well be proud to say that we DID
our bit '.'-Mary Mcbrio'
