II isn't age, it's careless living that puts

The kidneys arc the most overworked organs
in the human body. When they break down
under the strain and the deadly uric acid ac-
cumulates and crystallizcs, look out! These
sharp crystals tear and scratch the delicate
urinary channels causing cxcruclatiBg pain
and set up irritatons which may cause pre-
mature degeneration and often do turn into
deadly Brights Disease
One of the FIRST warnings OF sluggish kidney
action IS pain stiffness in the small of the
back, high colored or scauty urine, loss Of

GETTING THEIR EYES OPEN.

In spite of the Hindcnburg' : order
that the German soldiers have no con.
eern with politics. says Philip Gibbs,
the imminent surrender of their army
leaders, the despair and passion that
is breaking loose among their people
and the knowledge Of defeat, have bro
ken the spirit of the German armies as
Ia fighting machine, and they are not un.
concerned with the doom that is upon
them. Civilians in tho newly liberated
towns of Lille and Roubaix and others
say that the breaking up of German
discipline and well-hcing was plainly
visible about a year ago. and during
the last six months could not be hid
+ den.
4 The fighting machine and the fight
! ing spirit of these men were wearing
out and whitening. Their horses be
came 50 THU and starved that even in
/ the streets Of Lille they used to drop
4 down dead The rations of the men
/ were reduced and they became pinched
and pallid. The arrogance of the Of
tccrs, brutal beyond words in the early
days of Lille, became chastcned and
! among the men there was growing re-
volt against the officer class aud "eap-
italists" whom they denounced as the
authors of the war. They were struck
in the face and slapped with whips by
their officers and they cherished these
things up and they said, owe will cut
their threats when we are free from
/ this"
! They learned what liberty meant
from the French people of these north
ern towns, who maintained their indie
+ pendcnce, their spirit, their dignity,
and pride against the oppression Of
I the German commandants and the Ger
man police and fines and Imprisonment
and blows in the facc--for even women
were cuffed if they happened to lie
two minutes late in closing their shops
or if they Struggled bread or cigar
cites to poor English prisoners. The
German soldiers said, You have liber-
ty in your souls and we have it too,
when this war ends. for now We live
under tyranny.
"Tbcirs not to reason why;
/ Theirs but to do and die.
This is tho obligation of the soldier
as expressed by a poet. Drill can &C
complish much. The relation between
the officers word of command and the
evolution performed by a platoon of
soldiers comes to be so automatic that
il is almost as though the nervous sys-
tens of the several members of fight
ing group were as directly connected
with the will of the officer as his own.
The tendency to obey without think
ing and even sometimes against the
thought of the individual soldier, be.
comes very strong, especially in the

Bird, land / have decided that It is
because they're not satisfied with
what they have and so want TO change
it."

"Of course" Mrs. Cardinal contin-
ued, Il am not nearly so handsome as
you are

added Mr.. Cardinal with gallant
bow

Mrs. Cardinal. Its nice to hear

''And you are always so devoted to
me" said Mrs. Cardinal that l can't

said that there are no happier families
than the Cardinal Bird families, and
certainly you are devoted to me in the
winter or in the summer-never leav-
ing me-"
"And such beautiful white eggs,
speckled with brown as you had in the
nest" continued Mr. Cardinal "They
turned out into four of. the dearest lit
tie cardinal birds, too"
at was then too that you were so
devoted" said Mrs. Cardinal Bird.
you watched over the nest, you kept
danger away and never for a moment
| did you think of anything else but Of
me and the little birdlings"
"WhO could help it with such beau
tiful mate?" asked Mr.. Cardinal Bird.
And he sang a glorious high-pitched
song Of joy, wonderful notes which
sang Of freedom, a happy home, q low
| ing mate, some beautiful little bird
lings, with no cruel cage to shut him
| in.
Mrs. Cardinal Bird sang too. Her
voice was softer but it was very love
ly and very, very musical.
For the cardinal birds are very hap
by when they are free and their little
family life is quite as perfect as any
to be found in the bird world or il
any kind of q world.

CONSERVATION HELPS
 MORALE OF ALLIES

The enormous importance to the moral of our allies of a con- tinued supply of meat and wheat from America was em- phasized by MT. Hoover at the recent Conference of the Wom- ans committee of the Council of National Defense in Wash. ington. His statement brought wildly to the minds of the del- egates the connection between their own efforts toward the conservation of food and the great issues facing our allies abroad. MT. Hoover said:
 "The meat question has been an dremains a serious one. The English found themselves con fronted by a critical ituation and had to reduce their con- sumption to one and one-fourth pounds per week per capita as against a normal consumption of about three pounds. Now they are able to increase the ra- tion. That has been not only of physical importance but of enormous importance ta the morale of the nation, because with the short bread and meat ration existing in the early part of March, if some alleviation could not have been had in the face of the Encouragement of the Germa drive, the results might have been serious"
