When you see Doan's Kidney Pills
recommended in this paper you most
always find the recommended a
Brownsville resident. It's the same
everywhere-in $500 towns in the U.
S. Forty thousand people publicly
thank Doan's. What other kidney
remedy can give this proof of merit,
honesty and truth? Home testimony
must be true or it could not be pub
lished here. Read this Brownsville
recommendation. Then insist on hav-
ing Doan's. You will know what you
are getting;
W. A, Brummett, retired farmer, s.
Cooper ave., Brownsville, says: "a
took Doan's Kidney Pills for weak
ness and pain across my back and
other troubles, caused by weak kid
neys. My experience has taught me
the value of this medicine. Doan's
Kidney Pills gave me great relief and

THE NAME GIN.

The original name of the alcoholic
liquor distilled from grain and favored
with juniper berries, common salt and
other substances is really geneva, not
gin, as it is generally called. "Gin" is
a corruption Of geneva" from the
French word "genieyre. which refers
to the juniper berries, used. for flavor
ing the drink, not to Geneva" the
name of the city in Switzerland, as
might be supposed. Gin is often cal
led hollands" because Holland has
long been leading producer, the IL
quor made at Schiedharl, in that coun-
try being particularly well known and
highly favored.

America before this coun

planned briefly their serious financia
condition until the United States cam,
to their rescue.
Every dollar of the money we hav,
loaned the allies has been spent in thi

1t doesn't make any difference whether
we get it back or not, we've got to lei
them have all the money they want
because if they are put out of the wal
we will have to whip Germany without
help.
THE American government is de.
termined to carry this war to a victo-
rious conclusion. If we cannot get the
money through the sale of Liberty
bonds we will raise it through taxa
ton. But we don't want to tax the
people for the war fund. We prefer
for them to loan the money to the gov
eminent at A or 4 IL per cent"
Mrs. Hill declared one reason Amer
lea is in this war is because we val
ued so lightly the precious privilege
of American citizenship it led Ger
mans to have contempt for u.s." There
upon Mrs. Hill assailed the laws in
effect in seven states which permits
aliens to vote when they merely have
filed their declaration of intention to
become citizens of the United States
The editors agreed with Mrs. Hill
that the practice of selling fraudulent
citizenship papers and the custom of
permitting aliens to vote are inexcus-
able outrages.
Later they telegraphed to congress
their approval of the Flood bill, which
would abridge the right Of aliens to
vote. The telegram was signed bv w

will be won or lost by the American

The newspapers" he said, "have

this war. The army must have guns
ammunition and food, and YOU must
make your people buy Liberty bonds
to provide the things the army needs
"They can lend their money to their
own government or give it to Berlin
later. The boys who go to France are
giving their lives. The man at home
who refuses to lend his money is a
worse Stacker than the boy who cuts

Buy Liberty bonds and pet our

way to get them out Of the trenches Is

EDITORS TO FEATURE ]
THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
Strong Publicity Campaign Begins this
Week: West Tennessee and North
Mississippi Publishers are Fired to
High Enthusiasm by Government
War Speakers.

Memphis, March 30. Plans for the
publicity campaign fer the third Lib
erty loan, to be by far the most elab-
crate ever attempted by the national
government, were unfolded to 100 ed
itors from West Tennessee and North
Mississippi by Herbert S. Gardner ri
st. Louis, chairman of the publicity
bureau, at conference in the Hotel
Chisca yesterday.
The editors gave assurance that the
columns Of their papers would be de-
voted to the Liberty loan drive, and
expressed confidence that their eoun-
ties would go over the top in the third
campaign, as was the case in the first
two crusades.
Liberty loan messages will be sent
repeatedly to every home in West Ten
nessee and North Mississippi while
the drive is in progress. The publicity
organization of the Eighth Federal
Reserve district apparently has not
overlooked any opportunity to bring
the bonds to the attention of the peor
pie. IL
No matter what newspapers -
may read, every issue from p
April 80 will contain a full !
vertisement of the Liberty loaY le
When you pick up your teleptts

orator will invite you to buy llu y

If you go down town next Sshe "
you will discover that Libertyse IN
posters have appeared as if by nc
in every store window and upon every
bill board.
You will be bombed from the sky,
torpedoed from below, shot at from all
sides and surprised in dozen places
daily by Liberty loan publicity forces.
1t required an hour and nalf Tor
Mr.. Gardner to enumerate the various
stunts which have been carefully
worked out by the district and county
publicity bureaus.
During the morning, the editors
were fired to high pitch of enthusl-
asm by three war speakers who are
touring the south for the United States
government. They are Jno. Burke,

$4,000 WOMEN NEEDED
AS STUDENT NURSES

Because the Nations reserve has
been depleted by the calling Of liter
ally thousands of graduate nurses for
service in military and lazy hospitels
the government is calling for $4,000
yo,u.c women to join the Unhed
States Student Nurse Reserve and
hold themselves in readiness to train
for service as nurses.
The call is for women between the
a.es Of nineteen and thirty-five. Tie
qualifications are intelligent, respcn
sible women or coed education and
sound health. A college education
is valuable asset, and many hos
ritals will give credit for it. Fne,'
may be trained IN civilian trainiH2
school or Army Nursing school.

PREPARE that
FALL GARDEN

Those who wait till a short time
before planting time to prepare the
soil for fall gardens are apt to be
disappointed in the results. AS a
rule fall planting requires better
preparation of the seedbed in spring.
There are good reasons why this is
true.
The growing season in the fall is
very short and the best possible prep
aration is necessary to make suffic-
lent plant flood available for salts
factory growth.
Moisture is very often scare for
fall gardens. 1t is quite likely to be
abundant for spring gardens. To
utilize the scant moisture available
for fall use the land should be pre-
pared early and given time to mel
low and become suitable for quicl
growth.
The weather is generally YER!
warm a few weeks before planting
fall gardens. It may be, and gen
orally is warm at planting time
This requires ample preparation an
early preparation to get the clod
pulverized and make reservoir 10
summer showers.
If you have not made arrangs
ments for the land upon which yo
are to sow turnips, plant onions, ia
Irish potatoes, spinach, radishes, etc
begin now.
Write to the Extension Division
Louisiana State University, Bato
Rouge, for circulars of instruction
on raising fall vegetables.

Sunset; the Other from
Sunny Italy.

R. A. (Tubby) Estes efforts dur |
inc Tuesday will result in the allied |
armies being increased by two SOL
diers. unless something intervenes.
Investigation led Marshall Estes
to believe that one William Burke,
who was at the time employed by
R. F. Weichert as engineer, was
eyading military service. The fact
that Mr.. Burke had told different
stories to different persons regarding
his registration led to the conclu-
sion. Early Tuesday morning Mr..
Estes called on him demanding his
registration card. He at first de-
noted that he had not become Fl
util July 18th, since the last regis
tration, but later admitted that he
was of age but had failed to register.
Burke was taken before l. R.
Price, of the local board, at Jennings,
and after some conversation SUBJ
mitted cheerfully to being registered
under the date of the first registra-
ton, June Is, 1917.
Burke claims his home is in Cali
fornia, but that he has no near rela-
tives, although he had asked Mr..
Weichert for his pay check in order
that he might go to California to
visit relatives before being called in
the draft. He came to Lake Charles
last November with Ringing Bros.
circus Quitting the circus there he
came to Welsh and worked for some
time for Layne & Bowler Co. Later
he was employed by M. B. Van Ness
and finally as engineer for Mr.. Wei
ebert. His story of registration was
not doubted until after all of the
class men had been called, when il
occurred to Mr.. Estes that there mus
be some excuse for his absence from
the army, he apparently having thu
desired qualifications for a first-clas
army man.
Burke will probably be sent o
Camp Beauregard and given an op
portunity to prove that he is not en-
tirely a Stacker.
The next to come under Marsha
Estes scrutiny was an aimless war
