SIOUX CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET

Sioux City, March 4.-Today's hog
market was a runaway affair with
prices climbing as much as 40 q soc
higher than yesterday. Increased
shipping demand with receipts the
smallest for some time put buyers on
edge and the deal improved as the
day advanced. Tops landed at
$16.40, while the bulk of sales rang
ed from $500 1886.
Cattle supplies were of fair volume
for a Saturday, estimate calling for
1000 head, but with a fair demand
from all quarters prices were about
steady, though the deal did not dis
play quite as much activity rs on the
previous day.
Sheep supplies were limited and

KEEPS men CONTENTED
Canteen Service of Red Cross
Has Good Influence.
Soldiers Are Given the Home Touches
and Little Attentions That Mother
Understands.

Washington. - Canteen service as
provided by the American Red Cross
for our soldiers in France Is one of the
men contented and I'm the right frame
of mind to smash the Germans, says
Mrs. Jean Hull, who is In this country
on two months leave.
"a canteen Is a long shack where
the soldiers are served coffee, sand
well as sweets. Here q soldier may
get his clothes mended, may have
them cleaned after the filth of the
trenches, and If he is homeslck may
pour out his heart to N of the Amer
lean women In charge"
In other words, the canteen fur
nlshes that homelike touch which
means so much to q man three or four
thousand miles from his family and
friends.
Mothers with boys In France or in
training to go to France will be made
happy in knowing that such care is
given to their sons by the Red Cross.
The American women who have volun-
teered to run the canteens are among
the nations most cultivated women.
They are enduring conditions which
are In marked contrast with the sur
roundings of their own homes.
Lots of times an American soldier
will come into the canteen," said Mrs.
Hull, with a spell Of the blues. He
has been out In the mud, is tired and
hungry, and most of all wants sympa-
thy. When he sees us women cheer
fully washing In a mud puddle, sleep
ing In cold rooms and working long
hours oil a stretch, he gets ashamed
of his feelings and braces up. They
are mighty glad to see a woman from
home and find our reading room, music
and chatter most alluring. We have
to run them out at times, they are SO
eager to stay even after regular
hours"

j. l.. Todd, carpenter. 5O7 Lincoln

my kidney trouble was brought on by
overwork and exposure when work
ing out of doors. l first felt weak
ness in my back and began having
sharp pains through my kidneys.
That trouble grew worse until l be-
came almost helpless and my back
gave out entirely. l couldn't gel
around. Then l was also in misery
with bladder troubles. The kidney
secretions were highly colored, filled
with sediment and burning. Doan's
Kidney Pills, which l got at Smiths
drug store, quickly helped me. After
using three boxes, l felt like a differ

EVERY CITIZEN SOLDIER
ON DUTY AT HIS HOME

Everyone must help If we are
to win. The soldier must obey
orders or there will be no army.
The people must be one or there
will be no nation. So that we
win, all of US must follow direc-
lions.
This is your war guide for use
In your home.
1t tells you what foods we
must save to provision ourselves
and our allies; 1t tells how we
can stretch our supplies SO
everyone will have enough
without any hurt to your health
or your strength.
Your government does not ask
you to give up three square
meals a day-nor ven one. All
1t asks Is that you eat less of
the foods we need to keep the
armies going and eat all you
want of the other things that we
nave III plenty.
Eat plenty-keep up your
strength and your vim to help
win the war. You have dedl-
Gated to the nation everything
that you have; you are asked
now to give up-just some hab-
its of the kitchen and table.
America and her allies must
not run out Of wheat, meat, or
fats. If we let that happen,
Germany Will win the war.
We must save sugar, use
every drop of milk, and-we
must learn to follow directions.

WASHINGTON, Sept 16- Ger many'S latest peace feeler Is through Austria it is officially stated.

Officially, the peace note k re- garded as German propaganda. The defeat of the Germans in the St. Mi- hiel sector has had its effect and the Germans are Squealing.
 The best answer the TeutonS will receive from the United States will be found in the address delivered at Ba,- timore many months ago by President Wilson. At that time President Wilson stated that righteous most triumph, force shall not make law of the world, every selfish military motive must be crushed once and for all times and military domination downed in the dust.

TO SETTLE HOME RULE
 FOR IRISH

LONDON, Sept, lG.--Urgjng the British government to fulfill it's plo- mise of Home Rule for Ireland Sir Horace Plunkctt, who w@s chairman of the Irish Convention, asserts in a statement that "thc average English mna still wants the political question settled firstly, as am obligation of honor; secondly, bccauS" he is convin- ced that her admitted political griev- ance stands in the way of Ircland's co operation in the war.
 There are two further compelling reasons widely felt. especially in Lib

 Secondly, even those are not con- vcltcd to any of the big scheme ol evolution now coming to be rccogniz- ad as an essential port of reconStruc- ction after the war are determine. hat thcr must nat be an unsettled Irish question obstructing the cours. of democration legislation.
 "l have not the slightest doubt that complete analysis of British opinion upon the present Irish situation wouI, reveal an infinite variety ol views up ,n details, but an almost unanimous determination that this blot on Bt@tisi removed.
 Coming to outside opinion upon the Irish question, l shall speak only o' that which l know-the opinion of the United States. It is not true that, since the American people came .ns he war, they have ceased to care about Home Rule. The only chang. Ireland is that they now condemn ut terly those Irish extremists who have every since 1911, been made the tools of Pussian intrigue.

 "But neither the war nor Ireland's attitude thereto is held to justify the postpOnement of Home Rule. As a most competent American authority, in letter just received, says, "The average man, who knows very little about details, thinks someform of Home Rule the only solution, and can not see why it is not applied immed- lately"
