All the big cities will be connect

Soon there will be regular flights

Arplanes will be introduced in

who Will Win
This Battle?"

Your kidneys are the filters OF the
body. If they become inactive and fail
TO eliminate the waste matter, they are
apt to throw the whole mechanism
OF the body out of order, thus toxic
poisons can accumulate in the system
and be as deadly as snake venom.
Besides causing the minor ailments
of rheumatism, sciatica, lumbago and
backache, neglect Of the kidneys is apt
to develop into more serious diseases,
such as diabetes or stone in the bladder.
Rid the body of toxic poisons-clean
the bladder and kidneys and cure the
twinges OF rheumatism with Anuric
and you win the battle OF life.
Anuric was first discovered by DR..

Large Crowd Hears
Evangelist Mansfield

A large and attentive crowd
heard Evangelist Lee p. Mansfield
who is conducting an evangelisuc
campaign at the Church OF CHRIST
last night. Mr.. Mansfield's tops
was. The Church As a Vineyard
"As workers are needed where
work is to be done, the Lord called
for those who have a mind lor
work" Mr.. Mansfield said.
1t was shown that the same
character our government needs
most is the kind that the church
can use. and eeyryone who Is sitting
down is a Stacker and will be dealt
with by Jehovah as our country
deals with such.
Nothing is promised to him VINO

true in earthly efforts as we'll as

1t was shown that all have an
importont sphere in which to Ia

what glorious results would follow
If we would only work as faithfully
for the Lord as our boys across the
water are carrying out the VIII OF
our government, that we may main
tain the freedom for which our
fathers bled and died.
THAT such principles may be per
petuated we are spending and being
spent. There is no sacrifice we are
not willing to make and will make
for sue ha cause, to Obtain earthIy
freedom and have glorious the
work but now about our eternal
interest, Are we seeking those
things above as faithfully as Tor
our earthly freedom
Blessed are the dead who die IN

their labors,' the speaker SAID IN

Mexico City. Tuesday, June IL
President Wilson's address to Mex
lean journalists in Washington last
week was printed prominently by
most Mexican newspapers. but com
ment on the sentiments expressed IS
Slight, especially from government
officials. The speech was distrlb-
uted broadcast throughout Mexico
by telegraph and mail.
General Garcia Vigil, president OF
the chamber OF deputies, is the only
government leader whose views
have been made public. The gen
eral said he believed that the presi-
dents speech contained serious ad-
vice to democratic peoples, especial
ly to Mexico, not to be dazzled by
German militarism, which destroys
all liberties

WOMAN KILLERS.

There Is AL impression that farms
are being equipped with modern
machinery. \ statement IN Chll-
dren's Bureau bulletin that nearly
every farm surveyed in Kansas had
some type OF washing machine has
helped to diifuse that idea.
But IN most cases the machinery
is confined TO the male domain, and
the Kansas washers were empha-
sized because they were an eNcep-
tion TO the rule. All over the coun-
try are farms in which. no matter
what the advanced state of the farm
implements. not one important
labor-saving device ha, ever been
installed to Tighten the work Of the
womenfolk.
There is still the farm where food
must be cooled in the spring-house
q hundred wards from the kitchen.
or down cellar. where q dozen trips
are necessary TO get and clear a
meal. The idea OF a dumb-wai;er
between kitchen and cellar never
occurred to the iarmer-and If il
did would be dismissed as prepos-
ferrous.
The house has no running water.
Every cupful for every purpose
must be brought in from the well.
Its stove is OF the most antiquated
type. necessitating the burning OF
.ood or soft coal all summer. All
cleaning Is done with the broom or
carpet beater, and the kitchen floor.

EVERYONE MUST SIGN
WAR SAVINGS PLEDGE

There must be no backsliders in
the war savings campaign, say
Washington officials charged with
the responsibility OF raising money
to finance the war. At the meetings
for signing these pledges to be held
throughout the United States une
28. the name of every person III his
district will be taken, and entered
into a report to be sent later to
Washington.
There will be the names OF those
who buy and the names OF those
who don't buy" Those who don't
buy" will be rated among the
"slackcrs' and the friends of the kai-
ser-those who do buy will be class
ed as loyal Americans, patriots and
leaders in the stay-at- home army.
It is not to be understood that
all stamps are to be paid for June
2S-thiS is not the correct idea. The
idea is to make the pledge June 28
and 50 arrange ones affairs that on
that dav each man, woman and
child will know Just how much he
can buy in war savings stamps be-
fore Dec. 81.
War savings stamps will cost
S+.E in June, increasing one cent
each month. The government will
redeem them in gold in 1923.
