do not be deceived. They know all
about you. They look as innocent
as you, but they kno wevery step in

your neighborhood. He fools himself
who thinks he can fool this all-seeing

sincere and genuine-to be, in short,
just what we are in public and pri-
vate, in talk and action at home and
abroad. The beginning of bigness is
absolute sincerity and something
more would call it living the
truth.

This war is the biggest job Amer
lea ever faced or is ever likely to face
We are just beginning to understand
what it means to 60 to war in the
modern sense and what it means t0
prepare America for war
We know we were unprepared. Our
unpreparedness was complete. But
we come to make an inventory of
what is necessary; whe1 we come to
understand what a gigantic task it is
to equip an army; when we come to
know something about modern war
fare and understand that it is a mat
ter of equipment as much as II is of
men; then we begin to see something
of the size of this undertaking.
We have seen the Departments
come forward with their estimates of
what was necessary to equip this
army, and We have seen Congress ap-
propriate for expenditure this fiscal
year nineteen billion dollars.
Do you know what billion dollars
is? don't | have been used to
handling million-do units a good

lars is pretty well. We scan picture

much equipment, how many locomo-

do with hundred-million-d trans
actions, and then we did have five

We have been growing to this thing
by degrees. But suddenly we have
this new unit-a billion dollars-and
we multiply it by nineteen. Congress
did not have any apprehension Of
what nineteen billion dollars meant
1t appropriated periodically what
was asked for The Departments did
not have any conception Of what
nineteen billion dollars meant to
spend. The Treasury certainly had
no experience in raising any such
sums. But they went at IT, and they
went at II under wise guidance. and
they have raised a vast amount al
ready. They made such a success OF

WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE WEAK
BODIES
Kidney Diseases Cause Many Aches
and Ills Of Maysfille People.

AS one weak link weakness a chain
SO may weak kidneys weaken the
wholebody and hasten the final break
ing-down.
Overwork strains, colds and other
causes injure the kidneys, and gen.
orally when their activity is lessened
the whole body suffers.
Aches and pains and ianguUr and
urinary ills frequently come, and
there is an ever-increasing gravel or
fatal Bright's disease. When the kid
neys fail there is no real help for the
sufferer except kidney help.
Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on
the kidneys. Maysville testimony is
proof Of their effectiveness.
Mrs. Harry Mann, 495 w. Second
St., says: About two years ago, l
suffered from an attack of kidney
trouble that had lasted for a long
time. l had dull, constant ache in
the small of my back and the pains
were often sharp. l was also dizzy
and felt tired and langrid. Two boxes
Of Doan's Kidney Pills cured me and
l haven't been bothered by kidney
trouble since. l gladly advise anyone
to get box Of Doan's Kidney Pills
at the Chenoweth Drug Co., If trou-
bled by their kidneys"
Mrs. Mann is only one Of many
Maysville people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your
back aches-if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for a kidney
remedy-ask distinctly for DOANS
KIDNEY PILLS, the same that Mrs.
Mann had-the remedy backed BY
home testimony. 60 cents at all

10 effect the needed saving Of wheat
We are wholly dependent upon the
voluntary assistance Of the American
people and we ask that the following
rules shall be observed:
I. Householders to use not to exceed
Q total Of ~ pounds per week Of
wheat products per person. This
means not more than IN pounds Of
Victory bread containing the required
percentage Of substitutes and one-half
pound Of cooking -four, macaroni,
Tackers. pastry. pies, cakes. wheat

2. Public eating places and clubs to
observe two wheatless days per week.

In addition thereto. not to serve to
any one guest at any one meal an
aggregate of breadstuffs. macaroni,
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat

Of more than two ounces Of wheat
flour. No wheat products to be served
unless specially ordered. Public eat

forming with the limitations requested
Of the householders.
8. Retailers to sell not more than
one-eighth of barrel Of -four to any
town customer at any one time and
not more than one-Quarter Of q barrel
to any country customer at any one
time, and In no case to sell wheat
products without the sale Of an equal
weight Of other cereals.
4. We ask the bakers and grocers to
reduce the volume of Victory bread
sold, by delivery Of the three-Quarter
pound loaf where one pound was sold
before, and corresponding proportions
In other weights. We also ask bakers
not to increase the amount of their

the American people who are able to

ask the well-to-do households In the
country to follow this additional pro-
gramme In order that we may provide
the necessary marginal supplies for
those parts of the community less able
to adapt themselves to 20 large o pro

such restrictions. Until then we ask
for the necessary patience, sacrifice

Canneries in Northern DiS- trict Southeastern Alas ka Make Record Pack
 Up to This Time.
LIST SHOWS UP WELL
Most Nearly Complete List and Estimates Show AL aska Is Beating Last
 Years Record.

A collation. of the figures of the pack of a part of the cannerles or the Northern Division of Southeastern Alaska, secured through the most re- liable obtainable channelys, indicates that the total canned salmon pack of the district on August 1st ap' proximated S00,000 cases, and the best part of the season, if we are to judge from the past, is still ahead of the industry. This is an improve ment over the record pack of last year.
 The following is the record as far as could be fathered at Juneau today, and it is the nearest complete list thus far published:
 Excursion Inlet. Astoria and Pu- get Sound Company, 10000 cases; Todd Packing Company, 5000; Hood Bay. Hidden Inlet Company. 10000, Chatham, 51O00; Pyramid Packing Company. Sitka, 12.0O0; Tenakee Fisheries Company, 32.o00; Hoonah Packing Company, 90,000; Aux Bay, 1S.O00; Taku Harbor, 7O.0O0; Hawk Inlet.

 The totals of these canneries is 621.000 cases,
 The Funter Bay cannery of the Thlinget Packing Company. one oi the always successful fourline can neries should add 90,0O0 to this to tai, and the Lynn Canal, Pillar Bay Red Bluff Bay.

ABOUT LLOYD GEORGE

LONDON, Aug. 2.-The Liberal press is expected to evince sharp dissention to Lloyd Georges threat to use economic weapons against Germany after the war.
 The London Chronicle says 1t doubts whether President Wilson views the question in the same light as expressed by Lloyd George.
 The Chronicle says the Americans do not wish for any such weapon to be used after the war for any final period for vindictive purpose. 1t says it will be impossible to car ry out the best suggestions mace by President Wilson and the policy outlined by Lloyd George at the same time.
 Further commenting on the subject the Chronicle said the American sug- sestions were full of hope and help in the pursuit for ultimate and per manent worlds peace. 1t says the policy of Lloyd George will have the opposite tendency.
