MYSTERIOUS PAINS AND ACHES.
Make Life Hard to Bear For Many
DEBORAH Women.

Too many women mistake their
pains and aches for troubles pecul-
liar 60 the sex. More often disorder
cd kidneys are causing the aching
back, dizzy spells, headaches and ir-
regular urination. Kidney weakness
becomes dangerous if neglected.
Use a time-t'ied kidney ramedy--
Doan's Kidney Pills. Hosts of peo-
pie testify to their merit. Read a
DEBORAH case;
Mrs. d. B. futile, sos w. Main ST.,

and often got up in the morning feel

Hooyer's Lesson Useful. Teaches
Farmers Value of Intensive
Gardening.


Cedar Falls, lathe great lesson
taught by Herbert Hoover-intensive
food production and conservation
will long continue to bear fruit in
this vicinity, whose fertile lands have
produced record breaking crops Of
foodstuffs the past two years.
This is indicated by the many
unusually late garden crops reported
in and near Cedar Rapids. Gardens
have been working most intensively
and many are still producing after
several frosts have been warded Off
by patriotic gardeners.
A striking example of this is given
in the record or Mrs. Horace Dewey,
wife of a farmer living few miles
north of Cedar Falls. Mrs. Dewey
has been growing successive crops of
vegetables in her garden since early
May. But she broke all records for
growing green peas out OF doors, by
harvesting crop after crop on the
same patch, the last picking OF peas
being gathered on Nov. 2. This
picking consisted Of many quarts q
the selectable vegetable, made pos
sible by close watch OF her garden
plot to guard against killing frosts,
This record has never before been
equalled in this latitude so far as
could be learned.

The Flu.

The Flu.
When your back is broke and your
eyes are blurred,
And your shin bones knock and your
tongue is furred,
And your tonsil squeak and your
hair gets dry,
And you're doggo4e sure you're
gong to die,
And you're skeered you won't and
you're afraid you will,
Just drag to bed and have you're
chill,
And pray the Lord to see you
through,
Fer you've got the Flu, boy, :
You've got the Flu.
When your toes curl up and your
belt goes fiat,
And you're twice as mean as a
Thomas cat,
And life is long and dismal curse,
And your food all tastes like a hard
boiled hearse,
When your lattice aches and your
heads a-buzz,
And nothing is as it ever was,
Here are my sad regrets to you,
For you've got the Flu, boy,
You've got the Flu.
What is it like, this Spanish Flu?
Ask me brother, for I've been thru,
1t is by Misery out of Dispair,
1t pulls your teeth and curles your
hair,
1t thins your blood and brays your
bones,
And fills your craw with means and
groans,
And sometime maybe, you get well,
Some call it Flu,
call it HE'LL.

The long time intervening before the
assembly of the peace conference in Par
is, or Versailles, is giving one and all
plenty of opportunity to arrive at ju-
dicial state of mind providing that it is
possible for them to reach such stage
and it seems likely that the terms of the
treaty to be framed there viii be settled
upon by persons who are not in the heat
of passion, but who are at the same time
conversant with the exact situations
which have arisen in the war. Therefore,
we may expect that the possibility for
the outbreak of other wars will be in
large part eliminated aside from the in
fuence of the proposed league of nations
toward permanent peace. II a just peace
il arrived at there will be less cause for
the outburst of national anger, which, in
turn, is fed by national ambition. Thus
the purpose of the league of nations win
be materially assisted right at the very
outset. Moreover, a just peace is the
kind of peace which the majority of the
people of all the nations of the entente
desire.

BACK HOME, THEIR WORK WELL
DONE.

The American battle fleet comes back
from European waters practically intact.
No vessels of the larger type have been
lost, and but comparatively few of the
recognized warships of the navy have
been sacrificed in the Is months of war
fare in which the United States has been
engaged. Indeed, the American navy has
come out of the war in remarkably good
shape, with more ships than when it en-.
tered requirements having more than
made good the losses) and with a pres
tige second only to that Of Great Britain,
the acknowledged mistress Of the seas.
And yet it cannot be said that the Amer
lean navy has not played an important
part in the victory which came with the
signing of the armistice on Nov H. II
was the American fleets arrival in Euro.
pean waters which broke the back Of
German naval ambition. Up to that time
the German admiralty had carried hope
of being able to make sortie against
the British at time when the British
warships had become more or less scat
tered in the multifarious duties which
the British navy was called upon to per-
form. 1t was to be despairing hope,
perhaps, but desperate straits needed des-
perate experiments; so the Germans
hoped to tackle the British navy piece
meal, as it were, and expected to be able
to defeat detachments Of that great
force, But with the addition Of the
American navy to the balance of power
against her, Germany's hope collapsed
completely and thereafter the German
warships stuck closely to their harbors
and the men counted themselves lucky
to escape the certain suicide which an
attack against the combined British and
American fleets meant. Thus the naval
arm of the United States contributed its
full share to the decisive defeat of Ger.
