a year ago 1 had terrible backaches.
There was a dull pain in my back and
when l bent over to tie my shoes, it
became sharp and felt as though
some one was sticking knife into
my back. When doing my washing,
was bothered with the sharp pains
and when l stopped l could hardly
straighten. My kidneys didn't act as
they should and caused me distress
Mornings l was completely tired out
and during the day had headaches
and dizzy spells. I got Doan's Kid
ney Pills at Fink & Haumesser's
Drug Store and they strengthened
my kidneys and eased the pains II
my back in a short time. Whenever

Shakespeare who put the interroga-

the dramatist in his early struggles
might have carried a spear in the
chorus, that is as near as he ever
came to war.
Recently out of the wilds of Poca-

the local recruiting station of the u
S. Marine Corps. Their names were
Samuel R. Haight and Anchor Lemon
Both were anxious to enlist.

HAD ABOUT EVERYTHING

Salt Lake City, Utah.-The curios-
ity of Henry James, who applied for
enlistment in the U. S. Marine Corps
here, remains unsatisfed.
James was taken before DR.. G. j..
Hildebrand, the examining physician,
and after the usual physical exami-
nation, was told that he failed to meet
the requirements.
"What's the matter with me?"
queried the prospective Hun de-
stroyer.
you've got scoliosis, phthisis, and
synoirtis," was the surgeons reply.
The would-be Marine blushed to be
told so frankly what prevented his
becoming Devil Dog, and turned to
go out, when the doctor shot few
hot parting words after him.
"Not only that you're troubled
with slight astigmatism, otitis nSsdia
and chronic furmunculoss."
"Gosh" was all the lad could say
as he fled in confusion.

The first time an "alert" was

.sPERSHING'S CRUSADERS"
WILL BE SHOWN


Confirmation has just been re-
ceived, says Mr.. E. Mandelbaum,
president of the First National Ex-
hibitors' Circuit of Ohio, that the con-
tract has been made with the gov
ernment of the United States for the
distribution OF the new eight-reel film,
"Pershing's Crusaders" This film
will be shown in all the cities and
towns of Ohio in the near future.
Most of the proceeds of rentals from
these shows will go to the govern
ment, those who handle the film re-
tanning only expense money.
The following criticism was given
by one of the New York theatrical
papers: "'Pershing's Crusaders or
Following the Flag to France in
eight reels, official United States war
films, released by the committee on
public information, is divided into two
parts of one hour each; the first,

he declares that the basic ideas Of

with the result that we are led to
suspect that our institutions are a

Senator Watson predicted that IN
less Congress checked the on rushing

troll. The senator voiced the opinion
that conditions are heading the

out, by a course like that adopted
with the railroads, when an increase

AS YOu THINK

"If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare NOT, you don't
If you'd like to win, but you think
you can't
It's almost a cinch you won't.
II you think you'll lose, you're lost
For out of the world we find
Saccess begins with a fellows will;
It's all in the state of mind.
II you think you're outclassed, you
are;
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself be-
fore
You can ever win a prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger o. faster man;
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can"

TOO BADi

Minneapolis, MINI. "Well, the
long and short of it is that you are
too short to remain long in the Ma
rines," said the U. S. Marine recruit
ing sergeant at the local recruiting
station to Warren fremont Long of
this city, when he attempted to en-
list in the Marine Corps.
Long passed an excellent physical
examination except that he was too
short.
Long was long on patriotism and
ambition and wished to go even if it
should happen to be for short while
"That's the way it goes" he said.
"Some little fellow like me who is
crazy to go can't make it and some
big husky who ought to break his
neck to go, has to be almost dragged
up to get him to sign up"

latter has only little over a fourth
as many millionaires and multi-mil-

more big fortunes there than here.
For the 10 men in our wealthiest

and for the nine in our next wealthiest

BIG INDIVIDUAL FORTUNES
IN THE UNITED STATES

Marked increases in large Ameri-
can incomes since the beginning Of
the war in Europe are shown by the
1917 report of the U. S. commissioner
of internal revenue. Though the in
comes on which taxes are paid into
Uncle Sans Golfers are not in every
case reliable indices to the wealth of
the individual paying such taxes, the
officials are convinced that a calcu-
lation in which the sworn incomes are
assumed to be four per cent of the
real fortunes of the taxpayers gives
fair general average of individual
wealth. Thus, if man pays tax on
an income of S1,000,000, this would
be taken as four per cent of his
total wealth. One hundred per cent,
or the total wealth, would then be
$25 100000.
In this way it is reckoned that we
have now about 22,700 milionaires
in this country, about 5000 more than
there were year ago. Of this num-
ber there are 10 whose annual incomes
amount to $5,O0O,0OO or more. The
total number of income tax payers
is in excess of 473,000. Those who
paid taxes on incomes of $1,000,000
! numbered 376, compared with 120 in
1918. 60 in 1914 and A in 1918.
The increase in large incomes since
1913 is Interestingly shown by the
following table, arranged by the New
! York Sun:

POLITICS IS AGAIN
 TOPIC OF THE DAY
Towers and Azelson Working in Second Ward for Nomination

Political aspirants are sprine'ine LID dally now and the latest to announce their candidacy for political honors, III addition to Charles H. Gillin, who yesterday hled his petition as a can dldate Tor third ward councilman, are lVor AXelson of Stanley street and Reglna1d Towers of the same street.
 Both men are candidates for council man and both are circulating their petitions among their friends. Will liam Wall, third ward councilman, has also announced that he will seek reelection.
 There are three vacancies in the second ward inasmuch as both Coun- cilmen Eichstaedt and Spencer are pltted against each other for alder man and the term of Councilman Q. R. Talk expires this spring. MT. Axelson, the most recent candidate, is the son of former second ward councilman and returned home from France 0 few months ago where he was an ambulancier. MT. Towers is also a. well known young man, the son of the late Joseph Towers, a for~ mer power in republican politics. He is said to have strong following ard his father-in-l law, J. Willie Mills, nlmSelf a, prominent TepHD1lCdn, IS looking after his interests.
 With the other candidates, espe- cially Quigley, Jester and Barnes, who seek the nomination as mayor, there is little being given out for pub Iication. The mayor will formally open his headquarters in Booths block tonight and from now on 1t will be open each evening. The tele- phone number is 2SS. Alderman Jes- ter's headquarters are at the corner of Park and Elm streets while MT. Barnes has his headquarters in the Barnes block.
 When he decided to have his polit- icla headquarters in his own business office Mr. Barnes states that he did not intend 10 have any political in- trisue conversations or business that he was not willing to have within hearing of any one. If he has any thing to say about a man he will say it to his face and not behind his back, the candidate declared, and added that as far as he is concerne1 this coming campaign will be entirely devoid of mud singing and will be subject to the closest public scrutiny.
 Tn each of the various ward local politics is being discussed. Various possibilities are being mentioned and within short time it is expected that the market will be flooded with ap- plicants who desire a seat in the council.
