Why Women Suffer
Many Skagway Women are, Lealn-
 ing the Cause

Women often suffer, not knowing the cause. ...
 Backache, headache, dizziness, nervousness.
 Irregular urinary passages, weak ness. languor-
 Each a torture of itself.
 Together hint at weakened kid neys.
 Strike at the root-get to the cause.
 Quickly help the kidneys if they need it.
 No other remedy more highly en- dcrsed than Doan's Kidney Pills.
 Here's convincing testimony.
 Mrs. s. E. Ellsworth, 527 Rex Ave, Portland, Ore, says: q was all run down because of kidney trouble and I can hardly describe the pains in my back. Many times was so dizzy and nervous could hardly keep going. My sight was often blurred and big black specks came be'ore my eyes. My sleep didn't seem to rest me and I al ways felt tired and listless. My kidneys were weak and my feet and aHkles became swollen. l used Beans Kidney Pills and was soon completely cured"
 Price COG, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Ellsworth had. Foster Milburn Co.,, Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

SURE TO DEFEAT HUNS SAYS
SIMON WOLF.
But United States Faces Long War,
and 100000 Men Are Needed.
January 4, 1913.

Mark Twain wrote to me when
I was 20, Nothing is more ridicu-
lous than a young pessimist, except
an old optimist," says the Hon.
Simon Wolf, of Washington, D. c.,
in his letter I am happy to dis
prove that statement eleven years
after. At no time have I been more
hopeful than now We will win
out, but not in day, week, month or
year, but in two or three years. 1t
will need the placing Of 100000 of
men somewhere in "No Mans
Land" and the floating of $75,O0O,
100000 to $1OO,0OO,000,0OO. This is
the concrete naked truth. Let us
not deceive ourselves.
We are the rock Of Chickamaugua,
against which the Teuton forces
will eventually dash in vain, but in
the meantime, we will have several
Bull Runs. Sentiment, oratory, pro-
carnations stimulate, but they are
f11msy targets against machine guns,
aeroplanes and submarines.
We are paying the penalty of not
being prepared, but Grants slogan,
unconditional surrender" will
come true, but only at tremendous
sacrifice but better to have an end
with terror than terrors without
end. We are at war, and as Sher-
man said, "War Is He'll"
We are dealing with an enemy,
unsurpassed in history modified,
equipped and trained in school of
As years of preparedness, and the
rest of the world went to sleep and

At no time in the history of this
great republic has concerted and

"An amusing incident was this-the
fight was so near the earth that bull

the ground. No one was hurt save a
French worker in the field, who re-
ceived hole through his ear from one
of my bullets and is very proud Of it."

We knew it was a German by the black
leather boot. One Of our crew used
that foot to hang extra bandoliers OF
ammunition ON. This man always was
handy fellow; made use Of little
points that the ordinary person would
overlook.
The Germans made three counter
attacks, which we repulsed, but not
without heavy loss on our side. They
also suffered severely from our shell
and machine-gun fire. The ground was
spotted with their dead and dying.
The next day things were somewhat
quieter, but not quiet enough to bury
the dead.
We lived, ate and slept in that trench
with the unburied dead for six days.
1t was awful to watch their faces be-
come swollen and discolored. Towards
the last the stencil was fierce.
What got on my nerves the most was
that foot sticking out of the dirt. It
seemed to me, at night, in the moon
light, to be trying to twist around.
Several times this impression was so
strong that went to it and grasped it
in both hands, to see if could feel a
movement.

it for hatrack just before lay down

and I needed a rest pretty badly.
When I woke up the foot was gone.
He had cut it off with our chain saw

plastered the stump over with mud.

before we were relieved, missed that

CHAPTER XXI.
Punishments and Machine-Gun Stunt.

Punishments and Machine-G Gun Stunts.
Soon after my arrival in France; in
fact, from my enlistment, had found
that in the British army discipline Is
very strict. One has to be very care
full in order to stay on the narrow path
Of government virtue.
There are about seven million ways
Of breaking the kings regulations; to
keep one you have to break another.
The worst punishment is death by a
firing squad, or "up against the wall, ="
as Tommy calls 1t.
This is for desertion, cowardice, mu-
tiny, giving information to the enemy,
looting, rape, robbing the dead, forcing
a safeguard, striking superior, etc.
Then comes the punishment Of sixty
four days in the front-line trench with
out relief. During this time you have
to engage in all raids, working parties
in No Mans Land, and every hazardous
undertaking that comes along. If you
live through the sixty-four days you
are indeed lucky.

Got Their "Lively Time"

A famous lion-tamer tells of a queer
Christmas present he once received. It
was a consignment from a friend
abroad of three boa-constrictors and
five alligators, "With Ji1n's best wishes
for lively time" The ion-tamer and
his wife got the lively time desired.
He says:
81 shall never forget how annoyed I
was when, during the night, two of the
alligators broke out of their boxes in
our bedroom and began exploring. I
could not find the matches, and and
my wife remained on top of the bed
canopy till morning. Luckily, my wife
never thought Of the thing that wor-
ried me. I was afraid the alligators
might call on the boa-constrictors to
wish them a Merry Christmas, and so
wake them up too"

Amusement for Children.

For the children, before they are old
enough to use scissors, tearing paper Is
an engaging occupation. Tear a piece
of old newspaper into an oblong shape i;
it may be any size, about two by four
inches, we will say. By folding this
in the middle it will make little tent.
Again, fold in thirds, one piece turned
up and one down, for a chair. Turn
both ends down for table. The child
can tear paper into trees a ball, doll
