THE BEST TEST
Is the Test Of Time.

Years ago Mrs. William Lage, of 81
West Railroad street, Marshaltown,
told of good results from using Doan's
Kidney Pills. Now Mrs. Lage con-
firms the former statement-says there
has been no return of the trouble. Can
Marshalltown people ask for more con-
vincing testimony?
II suffered from backache md weak
ness of my kidneys" says Mrs. Lage.
My kidneys acted irregularly and
caused me much annoyance. The first
few doses Of Doan's Kidney Pills, pro-
cured at Mcbride & Will Drug Co.'S
store. gave me relief, and as | con-
tinueti taking taking then, my kidneys acted
more regularly and the pains in my
back were relieved"
Over eight years later Mrs. Lage
said: Il am always glad to say good
word for Doan's Kidney Pills, for they
gave me lasting cure"

simply ask for kidney remedy-get

Your War Garden

| From now on it Is going to'be a task
| Tor the amateur gardener to keep
| ahead of the weeds and get his planting
, cone at the right time and before 1t is
| too late. The one greatest aid to gard
ening is the added hour of daylight
| given by turning the clock ahead, which
gives long hours of sunlight after sup
per in which to do great deal Of work
IN the garden That these hours are
being busily occupied with gardening
one need only drive about the city to
see. This city has never before wit
| messed the amount of gardening that
is being done, or the number of gard
eners that are at work, as there are
| this year. The back yard and vacant
lots literally swarm with them.
The best way to kill weeds is to kill
them before they get out of the ground
xiii them when they are small, when
the work is easy to do, and before the
weeds have sapped up the moisture and
| crowded out the vegetables you are
trying to grow. Frequent cultivation
Is the only way, and the best way.
E1ep up the succession of paintings
for crops to come on later Many of
these can be planted between the rows
of other crops, or in vacant spaces in
the rows or in odd corners. There
is one woman gardener in this city,
who on not more than two or three
square rods of space. actually grows
nearly as much garden truck as do
most gardeners in a large back yard.
She does it by planting between the
lows. by a succession Of paintings, and
by planting closely. Most vegetables
can be planted much closer than the
standard directions specify, providing
the ground has been well fortified to
start with and is kept clean Of weeds
An odd plant can be set here and there
wherever there is a little spot unoc-
cuped> that is large enough for it to
develop.
A suggestion that is timely now is
that gardeners who have good sized

EATING GERMAN EGGS

Gerald Stanley Lee, in an article on
advertising a Country" suggests a
fishy comparison which he thinks
should help win the war three years
quicker.
"The black bass and the other de.
cent fish fight carp by letting him
grow up and get big and hard to lick.
Then they go for him and lick him.
They fight carp by killing off the
carp one at time and driving them
one at time out of the streams.
"'The carp fight the black bass by
eating their eggs. They scoop UP
five hundred pounds of black bass at
a mouthful.
One German locomotive rolling
innoceni!y along in the sunshine
way over in the middle of Germany
Is the equivalent of 5000 German sol
diers at the front. The five thousand
German soldiers cannot eat, sleep,
breathe or fight without locomotive.
One bomb anybody can buy for $50,
dropped from an airplane on the To-
comOtive, may send home 5000 Ger.
man soldiers from the front.
THE way to win battles from the
Germans Is to eat their battles in the
eggs"
Just now the allies seem to be win.
ming good many battles from the
Germans In the good Old.fashioned
way OF fighting man for man, the way
the black bass and other decent fish
win theirs over the carp. But 1t is
not enough. ID is too slow, and the
allied line is stall long way from
Berlin. Why not as Mr.. Lee suggests
win three years sooner by making
the supreme sacrifice at once?
Nearly everyone agrees that the
final decision of the war must come
In the air. Airplanes cost money and
work and trouble and doing without,
but we are willing to pay and work
and endure and do without. Why not
put OH Il real squirt, now for the next
few months, in paying and working,
and enduring and doing without, and
get the war over three years sooner?

MONEY POWER

The banks and trust companies I'm
New York state, at the close of the
first half OF 1918. had Sl5O,OO0 900
more resources than they had twelve
months before. And this after con.
tributing enormous amounts paid out
for Liberty Loans, war. savings
stamps. federal taxes, Red Cross and
other war purposes.
In the absence of complete reports
from the whole country we can prob
ably take this situation as typical. All
the billions we have poured into the
war pot have not impoverished us
have not weakened us, have not even
lessened our resources. We have ac
tually supported our iirst year of wal
out OF current savings AS u nation
we are probably little ahead of the
game In spite of the drain.

nancial power. and oil the great earn
ing capacity combined with Increased
thrift that makes such power pos
sible. We may not be able to make
SO fine showing next year, because
Of the rapidly mounting war costs

THE kAIsER,s PHOTOGRAPH


A letter written by Kaiser Wilhelm
to a certain Frau Meter is receiving
deserved publicity. It reads:
His majesty, the kaiser, hears you
have sacrificed nine sons in defense of
the fatherland in the present war.
His majesty is immensely gratified at
the fact and in recognition is pleased
to send you his photograph with
frame and an autograph signature"
The letter inevitably reminds Amer.
ican readers of the message sent by
President Lincoln to Mrs. Bixby OF
Massachusetts, who had lost five sons
In the Civil war--because It is SO diff.
ferent.
II feel" said Lincoln, how weak
and fruitless must be any words of
mine which should attempt to begTile
you from the grief of loss SO over.
whelming. But cannot refrain from
rendering to you the consolation that
may be found in the thanks of re.
public they died to save. pray that
our heavenly Father may assuage the
anguish of your bereavement and leave
you only the cherished memory of
the loved and lost, and the solemn
pride that must be yours to have laid
SO costly sacrifice upon the altar of
freedom"
We turn back from this heartfelt
expression of warm, human sympa-
thy and read again the kaiser's brutal
tender of his photograph with frame
and an autograph signature" in full
payment for the sacrifice of nine sons
in the furtherance of his imperial am
bition.
Possibly that letter with photo.
graphic enclosure really did comfort
the mother of those boys. Possibly
German mother holds her kaiser in
such high esteem that what looks to
us like an incredible insult will bring
her consolation. Is not the kaiser's
Gods anOinted and next to Him in
majesty and power? And yet, we
doubt 1t.
Motherhood must be pretty much
the same. the world over. The thing
that Is not the same is the political
system. bred In the bone. which in one
case makes the head of the nation the
spokesman OF that nations feeling.
and In the other makes him an incar-
nation of soulless egOtism.
