A Bit Of Advice
First Don't Delay. Secnnd-DoRSt t
 Experiment..

If you suffer from backache; headaches or dizzy spells; if you rest poorly and are languid in the morning; if the kidney secretions are irregular and unnatural in ap- nearance, do not delay. In such cases the kidneys often need help.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are especially prepared for kidney trouble-they are recommended by thousands. Read the following interesting statement.
 Mrs. M. E. Gagen, 1O13-A Flori- da St, San Francisco, Cal, says: q had dropsy and other kidney trouble and was miserable. My back couldn't have given me any mere misery if I had broken it. My kidneys were weak and my feet, ankles and hands became swollen, as result. l felt so miserable, run down and depressed I was discouraged. l could hardly bend over because my back hurt me so much. Doan's soon strengthened anG regulated my kidneys. The swelling went away and l was again well and had all my former strength"
 Price COG, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Deans Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Gagen had. Foster-Mil- burn O., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

TRAITORS TO OUR DEMOCRACY

The general definition Of q traitor is one who gives aid and comfort to the enemy" This is usually applied to direct action, as in the Oklahoma movement in op- position to the draft, Or the en- couragement of draft eyasions, or when an American citizen reveals our war plans to Germany.
 Such acts constitute direct trea- son; but there is a kind of indi- rect treason, much harder to de- fin. and combat. yet often far more dangerous to our country and the success of the war than direct treason. Before the war there were iu this country many social pc ntical or humanitarau movements On foot, all of which were RADI- CAL Cthat is to say. advocates of CHANGE) in their programs. such fer example, were the socialists. tAe Land Tax reformers. the Pactfists. But all of these as serted faith in the democratic principle in government and wished [, gain their ends by converting olr democracy. Most Of the ad- herelts of these various move ments have recognized that this dsmccracy of ours, having entered unon war. must be supported-that special prOgrams must. for the moment be subordinated to the oue great object of WINNING THE WAR. But there are some persons so feeble-minded or so incapable of grasping the world importance of this war, that they talk and write taings calculated to weaken our efficiency in war. THESE PEO- PIE ARE TRAITORS TO OUR DEMOCRACY.
 The whole matter is summed up the Single Tax Journals of cali forn!a (EVERYMAN, November. 1917): "Wilson's business now Is t1 win the war, and Win it soon, The radical press should stop knocking him and attend to It's own business - which is to create the democracy that the Allies are to make the world safe for.

SAYS NEW METHOD IS
 FOUND FOR THAW1NG
 FROZEN PLACER GROUND

In the Post-Intelligencer appears the following:
 Bringing a collection of Alaskan curios worth thousands of dollars, Geo. H. Kilroy accompanied by Mrs. Kilroy, reached Seattle from Nome with the passengers on the Admiral Watson. The curiOs were collected
 by former Californians among the residents of Nome, and include fine
 specimens of walrus and mastodon
 ivory; kyaks, the native skin boats, and hundreds of other articles from
 the Far North. The collection is to
 be given the Red Cross at San
 Francisco, and will probably be sold
 to the highest bidder, he proceeds
 to go to the work of the organiza
 tion. That the curios selected have
 real valule is proved by the fact
 that all were passed upon by pr.
 Daniel s. Newman, an authority on native curios.
 Mr Kilroy said that the placer mining industry has been given new life by a discovery made by J.
 H. Miles, superintendent of the Alaska Mines Corporation. MT
 Miles has found after innumerable
 experiments, method of thawing frozen ground at small cost, thus
 solving problem that has hamper ed the placer mining game in Alas
 ka from the start. MT Miles meth
 cd uses cold water, strange as it may seem, for the purpose of thawing out the frozen mass of earth and ore. The water is introduced through small pipes into the froz-
 cn ore, and in such way that heat One of the dredges in the Candle country used this method during the greater part of the present sea son, cutting the cost from 30 cents to cents per cubic yard MT. Kill roy says the discovery marks a new epoch in placer mining in Alaska, making possible the development of many placer deposits at handsome profit. Mining conditions around Nome have been unusually bad this season, MT. Kilroy says. A long spell of dry weather cut down placer mining, and the shortage of labor and strike among the miners ,as well as increased over head cost of operation, affected the industry. MT. Kilroy is connected with the Union Construction Com pany, of San Franciscofi, which builds and operates dredges.

See Airplane Fights

The following, clipped from a news
paper, was sent to this office
T. j. Phillips has received letter
from his cousin, Corporal Edwards
formerly of Baraboo, and now with
Co. F 128th Inf, of Portage. He writes
from somewhere in France. The boys
from Portage must be pretty close UP
and have probably seen considerable
action by this time. His letter says in
part:
We are beginning to have some fun
now-we can hear the big guns going
off, and see the airplane fights. They
are sure great to, see. I wish that you
could have seen us one day last week
the whole company in box cars. The
cars are about half the size of the box

like sardines in can, but, believe me,
we sure had a good time. The letter

IN CAMP AND
FIELD

Army. Write Short Extrac. From
Letters and Send to This Office

We surely passed over prairie, good
crops, much grain, strawstacks-I
counted fourteen from one point of
view-threshing pretty well done, and
stacks protected from fire by blowing.
Corn is good and we'll along-not any
further along than IN best Wisconsin
fields. Central Illinois contained
many slashed cornfields, perhaps due
to hail Few cattle were seen, only
two large herds noticed.
In southern Illinois and Indiana ,ev-
erything very dry and some crops
actually burnt out by the heat of the
sun.
We noticed but one passenger train
during the whole trip after we left
Wisconsin. We arrived here-train
brought us direct to camp-at $3.50 p.
N and we marched to our barracks
directly. We had our examination,
vaccination, and ''shot" this forenoon.
We are all dressed up in unionalls and
certainly a funny sight to watch us
directed around the camp. We will be
kept in or near our own barracks now
for a time. The rumor is that all of
our depot brigade will then be sent
to Camp Custer, Mich. 1t certainly is
warm down here, always like the
hottest Wisconsin days. Nights are
cool and breezy. The camp is very
much grass covered-a large and
pleasant place. There are fifty-six
thousand in the camp, about seven
thousand from Wisconsin. We were
the first Saukites, and we are proud
of it.
Must tell you little about our en-
trance and initiation-some parts
pleasant, others not so. Sank county
led the procession and as it happened
Merrimack's two boys were at the
head. Following are remarks thrown
at us: LEFT, left, had a good home
but you left" where from?" "Any
more left in Wisconsin" 'Do you think
you'll like it?" ooh. you'll like it,"
ooh, you arm, you shot f." Encourag-
ing, Ell
A Wisconsin bunch gave us some
yells and believe me we were glad
to hear them. Anyhow, we went
through all and are still alive. We
are all feeling fine. All twenty-five
are in one barrack-a very nice thing.
Our addresses are all the same
with the exception of our names, of
course. The boys will all be glad to
hear from friends and relatives. If

Camp Taylor, KY, August f.
Since Sank county has sent it's first
representatives to Camp Taylor,
think your readers will like to know
what we twenty-five who left Baraboc
on August 2, have gone through and
how we feel now.
1t is very fitting to give the boys
grand Send-Off. 1t is up to every rel
ative and friend to make the leaving
a happy one for the honor man. Our
send-off could not have been better
It was one that we shall always re.
member. The words of the speakers
thrilled us. and when the band played
who could have felt prouder, whether
honor man, friend or relative, to have
a chance to once more march to the
tune of con Wisconsin," We who are
in camp know what Wisconsin
means. 1t is not hard to guess. On
our way to the station we were given
a package which came in handy, even
though I also found in mine two pack
ages of Lucky Strike" cigarettes
lucky strike for me, for I've never
used any form of tobacco. Anyhow,
the other boys enjoyed theirs. Even
the girls must be commended for
making our last few moments before
departure so happy and enlivening.
When we passed through Merrimack
a large and lively number let us
know that they were proud and back
of us, and Yarkie and | surely let
them know that Merrimack was rep
resented. Those well-thought-out
send-offs shall cheer us in our blue
moments.
l am going to make our trip brief
and choppy, for it was long enough in
reality. Rev. e. G. Henke accompa-
MED us to Chicago. We missed him
after that, but used the "Y' cards
that he distributed to us. We did not
rest very much. Took us about two
hours to pass through Chicago-it
surely is large city, no one need
doubt that. We had our meals on
the train-didn't change cars all the
way down. Breakfast consisted of
sandwich, four slices of ham, eggs,
banana, potatoes and coffee. Meals
are all as big and we big fellows
seem to get more because we're lit
tie larger, even though our appetites
are not any larger than the smallest
man.
