HAVANA, June 11.-President Will
son in an address to Mexican news
paper editors last Friday expresses
sincere friendship for Mexico. His ad-
dress printed in the morning papers
here today says: 81 have never receiv-
group of men more welcome than

attitude is one of sincere friendship.
The policy of the administration to-
ward Mexico was in every point based
upon the principle of international set
Element of affairs in Mexico and none
our business"
He said the sending of troops to
Mexico was solely to get rid of man
who was making the settlement of al
fairs impossible. He also. referred
TO certain influences at work at pres
ent. assumed to be German in origin,
which are seeking to create ill feeling
between the two countries.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when ur-
healthy some part of this impure mat
ter is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and> symptoms
which vary widely but may include
pain in the back, headache, nervous
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatic pains
govt, gravel, disorders of the eyesighs
and hearing, dizziness, irregular heart,
debility, drowsiness, dropsY, deposi s
in the urine, etc. But II you keep the
filters right the danger is overcome
Doan's Kidney Pills have proven an
effective kidney medicine.
G. F. Caden, carpenter, ITO S. Della
ware Ave-, Tampa, Fla, says: Heavy
lifting and over-exertion caused my
kidneys to become affected. I suffer-
ed from lumbago and dull pains across
my back and loins. / had to stop
work, l got so bad off. Nothing /
used helped me until friend recon-
mended Doan's Kidney Pills. They
soon relieved the backaches and I was

May Adopt Metric System.

Adoption of the metric system
of weights and measurements for
the United States will be urged
upon congress by the American
section of the international High
Commission, which aims to bring
about greater uniformity of COM
merical law and regulations and
more stable financial relations be-
tween the United States and the
South and Central American re-
publics.
The American section holds
that in view of probable closer
commercial relations between
North and South America, it
would be of immense value to
business interests to substitute
the meter, kilometer. centimeter
liter, hectoliter, hectare, gram and
kilogram for the yard, mile inch,
quart, gallon, acre, ounce and
pound.
The boys and girls are more or
less principally less) acquainted
with the metric system, as the
tables are found in all our later
arithmetics, and are supposed to
be taught by the teachers. The
United States uses the metric
system in values, and no one
would wish to change from our
10 mills, l cent; 10 cents, one
dime; 10 dimes, l dollar" to the old
pounds, shillings and pence
system which we uesd three
quarters of a century ago.

Our Warfare in the Air.

For the first time we are per-
mitted to know something about
the work accomplished by our
men in the warfare in the air. 1t
is reported that on November II,
the day Of the signing of the
armistice, there were actually en-
gagged on the battlefront TAO
American planes, 744 pilots, 457
observers and % aerial gunners.
The figures are not particular
ly large, but when it is remem-
bered that our air programme
was in danger of total collapse at
one stage of the war game they
become impressive. Once our
warriors of the air got into ac-
tive service they displayed a skill
and bravery that won the COM
mendation of our allies. 1t is
known now that in the short
time they were in commission
our airmen destroyed 1926 enemy
planes and 73 balloons. That
was important, and the general
value of the Allied air service
may be appreciated when it is
stated that in the course of the
final weeks of the war the air
forces operating with the First
Army dropped 120 tons of high
explosives on the enemy lines and
supply depots and railroads be-
hind the lines. 1t does not re-
quire much imagination to believe
that this helped in the demoral-
ization of the eLemy and thus
hastened the end of the war.
Not the least amazing part or
this war have been the methods
of warfare. 1t has not been so
long ago that battles were con-
fined to land and the surface of
the sea, but in the great conflict
just ended the fighting has been
on land and sea and under the
sea and in the air. This, of
course, makes no mention of
poison gas and the atrocious and
barbarous means used by the
Huns to accomplish their purpos-
es. The chances are that moth
ing like it will be seen again in
the civilized countries of the
world.
