NOT WISE TO GO HUNGRY

Get New Kidneys +!

The kidneys are the most overworked
organs of the human body, and when they
fail in their work of filtering out and
throwing off the poisons developed in the
system, things begin to happen.
One of the first warnings is pain or stiff
ness in the lower part of the back; highly
colored urine; loss of appetite; indiges-
ton; irritation, or even stone in the blad-
der. These symptoms indicate condition
that may lead to that dreaded and fatal
malady, Bright's disease, for which there
is said to be no cure.
Do not delay a minute. AT the first in
dication of trouble in the kidney, liver.

CHAPTER XIV.
The croix de Guerre.

When we had been on the shore
for about three weeks we found our
selves one morning somewhere near
,Sedd-el-Bahr under the heaviest fire
/ ever experienced. Our guns and the
Turks were at it full blast and the
noise was worse than deafening.
A section of my company was lying
out in a shell hole near the commu-
nication trench with nothing to do
but wait for a shell to FIND them. We
were stiff and thirsty and uncomfort-
able. and had not slept for two nights.
In that time we had been under con-
slant fire and had stood off several
raiding parties and small attacks from
enemy trenches.
We had no sooner got used TO the
shell hole and were making ourselves
as comfortable as possible in it when
along came a shell of what must have
been the Jack Johnson size, and we
were swamped. We had TO dig three
of the men out, and though one of
them was badly wounded we could not
send him back to the hospital. In
fact, the Smelling was so heavy that
none of us ever expected TO come out
of it alive.
So, il was like keeping your own
death watch. with the shells tuning
up for the dirge. 1t was impossible TO
listen to the shells. If you kept your
mind on the noise for any length of
II
am sure. So all we could do was TO
lay low in the shell hole and wait for
something TO happen.
Then they began using shrapnel on
us, and one OF our machine gunners,
who got up from his knees to change
position. had his head taken clean of
his shoulders. and the rest of him
landed near my feet and Squirmed a
little. like chicken that had Just been

Without any head move around that
way. and we could hardly make our
selves touch ii for some time. Then
we rolled ii to the other side of the
hole.
Then, to one side of us, there was
q more violent explosion than any vet.
The earth spouted up and fell on us,
and big clouds of black smoke, sliding
along the ground. covered our shell
hole and hung there for sorae time.
One of our Sergeants, from the regular
French infantry. said it was a shell
from Turkish 155-mm. howitzer.

Milwaukee, Nov. Gov. E. L. Phil

the entire republican state ticket went

election.
Gov. Philips plurality in a three

And another man watched him for a
while, and then he began to shake,
too. The sergeant said that if we
stayed there much longer we would
not be fit to repel an attack, so he
ordered US into the two dugouts we
had made In the hole, and only himself
and another man stayed outside on
watch.
The men in the dugout kept asking
each other when the bombardment
would end. and why we were not rein
forced, and what was happening. and
whether the Turks would attack US. 1t
was easy to see why we were not rein
forced-no body of men could have
got TO us from the reserve trenches.
The communication trenches were
quite g distance from US and were
battered up at that. Some of the men
said we had been forgotten and that
the rest of our troops HAD either re-
tired or advanced and that we and
the men in the trench who had tried
to signsl US were the only detachments
left there.
Pretty soon another man and /

SUGAR From sornhum

In paper presented to the French
Academy of Sciences NJ. Guignard
calls attention to the use of the sor-
ghum plant as source of sugar, es-
pecially on account of it's abundant
growth in the north of Africa and
other places. His researches show
that the amount of sugar may reach
as high as IA per cent. Although sor-
ghum sugar does not crystalline as
well as beet sugar and is inferior to it
In quality, it will be useful to develop
the production from this source now

Berger Elected to Congress.

Berger Elected to Congress.
Victor L. Berger, socialist, who is
under indictment in this city and at
Chicago for violation of the espionage
act, was elected to congress in the
Fifth district. Seventy-two out of
ninety-four precincts give Berger H.
1859 votes; Carney, democrat, $3.50,
and Stafford, republican, 1880. Stat
ford is the present congressman.
The early returns indicate election
of the following congressman In other
Wisconsin districts:
First district-Judge C. E. Randall,

Second district - Edward Voigt,

Third district - James Monahan,

Fourth district-John C. Kleczka,

Socialists Sweep Milwaukee.
That the socialist party swept Mil
waukee county was the most startling
feature of the election.
Berger's election to congress in the
Fifth district was shock number one.
Then came the news that Seidel, So
cialist candidate for governor, and the
entire socialist party had carried the
county Milwaukee was not prepared
for this expression of sentiment.
Returns from III precincts from the
city and county showed that Seidel,
for governor, had polled 1885 votes
against Phillip with 1852 and Moeh-
lenpah with 1926. Indications are
that the socialists candidates for coun-
ty offices have all been elected.
