Says DOdd's Kidney Pills,
Wonderful Remedy

Mrs Della Olson, of New London, Wis,
like many others, knows after experience
Ing the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills that
they are unexcelled. Here is what Mrs.
Olson recently wrote us:

Washington Proposals TO reimburse
corporations and individuals for losses
sustained by reason of shutting down
plants or stopping work due to the or
der of the fuel administration are not
looked upon with favor, although bills
for this purpose have been introduced
In congress. Those who know anything
about claims against the government
are staggered as they contemplate the
result of legislation to pay for any such
claimed to have occurred on account of
the recent order. What list of claims
there would be! And what a big bu-
reau ii would take to examine these
claims and sift the real from the spuri-
Gus. Nearly every person in the United
States who had any business or was
employed in any capacity could make
claim for loss sustained on the days
designated by the fuel administration.
Following the Civil war congress was
overwhelmed with claims for losses of
property and now, SO years after the
close of that war, there are still thou
sands of war claims pending. Millions
Of people yet unborn would not live to
see the end of the claims presented on
account of that fuel order if con
gress should give sanction TO proposal
that those who suffered loss should be
reimbursed.

Grafton of the agricultural bill, Con

the usual funny discussion about the

that the sun will shine a few minutes
later. and that it may possibly rain or
it may possibly be dry?"
Madden became serious later and
thought That for S. 100000 the weather
forecasts ought to be more accurate.
Chairman Lever of the agricultural
committee said that 80 per cent of The
forecasts were correct. After stu
further discussion Madden went to

Senator Ashurst of Arizona says
that his state is lacking snow and that
not enough moisture has fallen to in
sure sufficient water supply. This
sounded strange in view of the fact
that the whole eastern part of the
United States was pretty much buried
under snow ut that time. Senator
Ashurst says that they have kept the
records in Arizona for a long time and
for the first time in 200 years there
was no snow at Christmas time on the
San Francisco peaks. These mountains
are in Arizona about 400 miles from
Santa Fe and are $4,000 feet high, and
their usually snow-capped peaks are
visible for many miles in every direc-
ton.

Senator BOrah of Idaho caused some
CONSERVATION in his party when he
took a position autaganistic TO the
majority of the Republicans regarding
the conduct of the war so far as Secre-
tary Baker was concerned. BOrah was
also one of the Republicans who did
not vote to condemn the fuel order OF
Doctor Garfield. He explains his po-
Sitiun by saying that the management
of the war is with the national admin
Iteration and not with the congress.
Furthermore congress. having passed
laws giving the president and those
to whom he might delegate it all the
power that he is now exercising, has
no reason to complain when that pow
err is used No matter how drastic 1t
may be, congress has forfeited its
right to make complaint.
Borah also says that congress In its
last session recognized that the presi-
dent was solely vested with the re-
sponsibility of conducting the war and
chat. having voted him all authority
he wanted for war purposes, II is idle
10 attempt to curb the administration
by trying to legslate authority away
from those whom the president hiss Sc
lected to carry on the war. The Idaho
senator takes the position that con
cress must stand by what it has done,
which means standing by the admins
tration in what it is doing.

The day the political debate opened
In the senate was one thoroughly en-
Joyed by the people who crowded the
galleries. AT several stages of the pro.
ceedings ii was necessary for the pre-
siding officer to admonish the galleries
that they would be cleared II NANTES
t&tions of applause occurred. On one
OF the occasions Senator Lewis of Hi
nOiS, who defended Colonel House in
such a vigorous manner made Spe-
cial request that the galleries should
not show signs of diSapproval. The
presiding officer stated that the occu-
pants had already been so advised.
'They have been so advised for the last
100 years" remarked Senator Penrose
of Pennsylvania.

Another feature of the debate that
caused great laughter in the galleries

Republicans are making a great eff
fort to get together, While it is true
that tie split which occurred I'm 1912
was healed to some extent in 1916, it
is also a fact that the ProgreSsiyes did
not give any guarantees that they
would remain with the party. Ii is
also true that even Theodore Roose-
welt was not able to bring all of the
Bull Moose back INFO the Republican
fold. and the colonel himself did not
entirely abandon the Progressive par

campaign closed in 1916 that the col
onel has been feeling absolutely sure
there would have been different re-
suit if he had been the nominee in
stead of Hughes.
Echoes of the recent visit of Colonel
Roosevelt to Washington are heard
about the national capital and it APP
pears that the so-called "Qld Guard"
made rather strenuous overtures to-
ward party harmony Colonel Roose-
welt seemed 10 be very much at home
Wlth the men who did so much TO de-
feat him in 1912, and also to prevent
his nomination by the Republicans in
1916. one of the reports which circu-
lated after Rooosevelt's visit was to
the effect that the Republicans will
start with Il wide-open convention in
1920, allowing anybody to be IA candi-
date, which, of course, includes the
colonel if he desires to go before the
convention; hut they desire an under
standing with him that he will sup
port the nominee of the convention II
he himself should be defeated
The idea of the "Old Guard" is that
Roosevelt can he defeated in the con
vention for the nomination and that
they will then be assured Of the Roose-

PEOPLE: MUST USE
NORTH DAKOTA COAL
THE WAR HAS CAUSED SHOkI'
AGE AMOUNTING TO 50.O00,oOO
TONS

The North Dakota Council of De-
tense has, not only as an economic
necessity but as patriotic duty, tax
en- up with all county boards the
consumption of North Dakota coal.
Following is letter sent to all county
chairmen and signed by 7. A. Box,
secretary Of the state organization,
and received here today:
"Prospects are that North Dakota
during the ensuing fuel year must re-
" almost wholly upon it's native fuel
resources. There are indications that
this will not only be an economic ne
cessity but patriotic duty. A short
age of coal amounting to 5O,OOO,OO0
tons over the requirements of the al
lied armies, necessary for their con-
tinuance of industrial equilibrium
and the prosecution of the war, will
have to be made up, shovelful by
shovelful. We not only must be spar
ing in the use of coal; we must, IT
possible, arrange to heat our homes
and supply our industries without
drawing into this state single ton
of the eastern anthracite and bitum-
inous, every ton of which used here
means one less available for the pros
ecution of the war.
"North Dakota's supply of Ignite
is inexhaustible; it is cheap and 1t IS
efficient. 1t can be burned in any type
of furnace, stove or range; no hard
ship attaches to its use. 1t is not in
convenient; it is not dirty; 1t IS safe.
The production of our mines were
increased 10 per cent last year; more
than three quarters of a million tons
were used in North Dakota. Our pro-
duction can be increased to an almost
unlimited extent. 1t is the duty OF
the North Dakota Council of Defense
and the county councils of defense
and the allied organizations to in
crease the consumption of Ignite
here at home; to popularize the use
of Ignite; to make our people under
stand that they are offering aid ard
comfort to the enemy whenever they
shovel into their furnace or stoves
chunk of imported coal from the
east while they leave our own mag
nifcient coal deposits lie idle In the
ground.
"Our consumers should be encour-
aged to fill their bins now. There
should be impressed upon them the
fact-and it is a fact-that if they DO
not arrange to care for their winters
' fuel needs now, they may freeze when
the thermometer goes down next win
ter. Preach Ignite; preach its vlr-
tues and preach the patriotic respon-
sibility which the war rests with the
people, that they remove from their
overburdened mines Of the east the
necessity of supplying North Dakota
with a single ton of bituminous or
anthracite coal. Make your people
understand that in using Ignite they
are building up their state while
helping their nation.
"The council asks that you induce
your newspapers to give space to this
matter; that you persuade your Four
Minute men to give at least one talk
a week on Ignite, on next winters
coal problem; upon the Importance
of storing up coal now, while the lld
is off, while the prices are low, and
when the cars are available to move
the COAL"
