KIDNEY DISEASE IS FATAL
IkidnecO IL Il Wonderful Protection.

When disease gets into the kidneys
ii is Just as certain to take a person
off as leprosy, unless it is checked be-,
fore it goes too far. If people just
knew the danger that 1urked in dis
eases of these delicate organs. they
would be as, careful of them as they
are of their eyes. People who have
sound kidneys should know how to
protect and take care of them. Kid
neco is Il sure remedy for treating
kidney diseases because it removes the
noisuns that collect in the blood
through the inactive kidneys.
Just go to any Drug Store and get
about a dozen kidneco Tablets. They
are inexpensive and will relieve your
kidney trouble quickly. Mailed by

Cleanliness and Godllness.

Two members of u atin-American
family, staying at New York MOTEL,
were paying their first visit to the new
Turkish baths In the basement of the
hotel recently. They stopped for a
moment, to survey the room. The pot
plants held their attention for brief
moment, but the oil paintings, pictur-
Ing Biblical subjects, hung so as to
almost completely cover the walls,
seemed study to them. why has

Again the President has spoken with
the voice of America and for the civil
lied nations of the earth. Again, and
for the last time he has told Germany
that peace cannot be discussed while
the Kaiser wears the imperial crown
and while the satanic practices of the
Germans proceed at sea and in the
field.
When the torpedo, the torch and the
bayOnet are no longer welded against
women and children and when the
Kaiser and his bloody house are visited
with punishment or oblivion, then
only can the allied generals in the
field be authorized to consider an arm
istice with the beaten armies OF the
enemy Nor will that armistice sur
render one point Of military advantage
or forego one safeguard, in brief the
German troops must stack their arms
on the battleliAe
The answer of The President is an
ultimatum to a defeated power. Its
terms are SO clear that only two
courses lie open to the Germans sub
mission, which means present surren-
der, or resistance, which means ulti-
mate destruction. No discussion is
possible. The trap which the foolish
feared, If there ever was a trap, snaps
its futile jaws together upon nothing
and will be heard Of no more. Defeat
is at hand and peace, when it comes,
will be the dictated peace Of uncondi-
tional surrender.

The work of war has thrown upop
