WHEN HER BACK ACHES
A Woman Finds All Her Energy and
 Ambition Slipping Away.

Mena women know how the aches and pains that often come when the kidneys fail make life a burden. Backache. hip pains. headaches, dizzy spells, distressing urinary troubles, are frequent indications of weak kid neys and should be checked in time. Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kid neys only. They attack kidney dis eases by striking at the cause Here's proof of their merit in a Mena wom- ans words:
 Mrs. Mary Mullikin, 1918 Church Ave, says: For several years I suf- fered from kidney trouble and I grad ually became worse, My back became lame and it seemed that the ineessant dull ache would kill me. I couldn't bend over, sit down or get up without sharp twinges thru my kidneys. My kidneys acted irregularly, also. was nervous and all run down. I finally decided to give up the treatment had been taking and try Doan's Kidney Pills. used two boxes and they gave me complete relief. Occasional use since then has prevented any serious trouble"

 A quarter of an ounce of freezone costs very little at any drug store, but is sufficient to take off every hard or soft corn or eallus This should be tried, as it is inexpensive and it is said not to inflames or even irritate the surrounding tissue or skin.

DIDN'T COST ALLEN A PENNY.
Total Campaign Expenses, S3,09s,
 Voluntary Contributions.


 Voluntary Contributions.
 Topeka, Aug. 21.-Henry Allen is the first man who ever ran for gov ernor of Kansas since the Primary Law was enacted ten years ago who dld not spend penny for campaign expenses. Mir. Allen did not even pay for filing his declaration of intention to become candidate, this being paid from the funds of the "AlIen-for-Gov- ernor Committee" which handled the campaign work. Mir. Allen went to France for the Red Cross last Feb ruary and has been in Farnee ever since. His friends ran not only the general state campaign from the To- peka headquarters, but also the coun- ty campaigns in every county in the state.
 While MT. Allen himself did not spend and money, his committee ran one of the most economical statewide primary campaigns. The contribu- tions received by the committee amounted to $3,119. This was all spent in office rent, stenographers. postage, printing and supplies. The only campaign made by the state headquarters was the writing of let ters and the sending out of the AL len pictures and postcards. When Harvey Motter cast up the expenses of the campaign he found he had S2O.O4 left, the campaign having cost S3,098.96.

MAN-POWER BILL
 PASSED BY HOUSE
But Two Dissenting Votes and SS6 Approving-Measure Goes to the Senate-Youths of IS to l9
 Not to Be Deferred.

Washington, Aug. z4.-Wltn put two votes against it, the House late today put 336 approving votes behind the great man-power bill, and passed it on to the Senate.
 That body will pass it early in the week, probably with no dissenting votes. As it goes to the Senate, the bill gives the war department free rein in drafting every man between IS and 45 who is needed to win mili- tary victory over autocracy.
 Last minute attempts to defer the youths of IS and 19 were decisively defeated, when a letter from Secre- tary Baker was read, declaring unal- terable opposition to deferring the younger men.
 Gordon of Ohio, a Democrat and London of New York Socialist, cast the votes against the bill. Gordtn has recently been defeated for renomina- ton because of opposition to all ad- ministration war policies and meas ures.
 The Senate will formally receive the bill as passed by the House, Mon- day. The military committee has been notified to meet and make an imme- diate report, substituting the House bill for the Senate measure, so as to obviate confusion. By Tuesday or Wednesday, at the latest, the measure should pass, closing Americas latest message to the kaiser.
 The Senate has not settled either of the chief points of the controversy. Deferring of youths of IS and 19 has caused much discussion and pending amendments to delay calling these men will receive many votes. But Senator Chamberlain is confident all will be overwhelmingly defeated.
 Would Include Navy and Marines.
 Bakers letter will be presented to the Senate, to swing wavering sena- tors into line for the exact program mapped out by the war department In this letter, Baker said deferring the 1919 youths, would seriously impair" the war departments ability to get the men needed. Many senators who, for sentimental reasons, oppose calling the boys, have pledged their votes to Chamberlain if he can con- vince them that all between IS and 45 are needed now The Thomas-Reed amendment designed to prevent strikes of war workers is likely to consume the most time The House rejected a similar amendment, but sentiment for it is strong in the Sem ate.
 Senator Wadsworth has gained some backing for his proposal to ex- tend the selective draft to the navy and marine corps. Wadsworth has pointed out that unless this is done, the navy, when in need of men, will have to beg them, or the navy must take the kind of men the army will give them
 Aiming to get every man who ought to go, the House, in the clos ing hours of work on the measure, amended it to provide further re- combing of deferred classes. But for pleas of department heads it would have passed an amendment removing the blanket exemptions from thous- ands of government clerks and other employees. Only the statement that drafting of these would disorganize war work seriously restrained the House.
 There seemed no doubt tonight that the bill will be sent to the President in time to assure registration of the new levies early in September, if the war department wishes it.

Ready to Go.
MUST REASON WITH
 SLACkERS AND W. C. U.
Ben Caughron Pens Last Message From Death Cell-Warns
 Polk County.

Following is Ben c. Caughron's last statement, written by him in the death cell and sent at his request for publication in The Gazette that his message may reach his people in the mountains
 Thru no spirit of hatrid or desire for revenge is the following state ment made, but it is prompted by an ardent desire with good will toward the state of Arkansas in general and Polk county in particular, for unless a restraining hand in the shape of pub lie criticism is placed on that county, the last paragraph of this article will surely come true.
 Some of the people of Polk coun- ty asked that I be executed, that the effect of the determined effort to keep that county free from slackers, de- serters and the working class union brand of citizens be not weakened. How little do these people understand the spirit of these outlaws The slackers, deserters, and W. c. U. brand of outlaws in Polk county measure well up in morals with the people of any community Among their num- Der are many Christians and some ministers of the gospel, some old, gray-headed men who were raised in that vicinity and who bear the reputa- tlon of possessing irreproachable characters, loved and respected by all .wx1x mistaken, as are the people who think few executions win strike terror to their hearts.
 They are working for what they believe to be right They believe the draft law to be unconstitutional and the war merely rich mans game. Such men must be changed by love and good treatment by reason, not by force. What will they say when am executed? There is a man who told the truth, begged for mercy and of fered to serve them, and they have executed him. We will spill our blood at home
 'I cannot speak so favorably, mor- ally. for some of the men who repre- sent the law in Polk county, as can for some of the outlaws, but there are enough good men in office there to do considerable good if they would only wake up and exert themselves.
 Polk county. if not checked in her blind and irrational execution of jus tice. severe to the point of injustice, will become a millstone about the neck of the fair state of Arkansas, dragging her down into the deep wat CTS of contempt, from whence her good citizens have so laboriously l raised her in the last two decades
 This is the final record so far as concerns Ben caughror. of one of the worst affairs that ever occurred in Polk county. the history of which is known in detail by every reader of The Star.
 As shedding much light on Caugh- ron, his life and mental attitude. Enc Star reprints from the Arkansas Gazette a lengthy statement made wo days before the execution. This tatement follows:

BEN CAUCHRON HAS
 PAID FINAL DEBT
Leader of Murder Gang That Killed Charles Kirkland Was Electrocuted at 6:55 a. m., Today-Was Rec
 onciled to Fate.
From The Arkansas Gazette.

From The Arkansas Gazette.
 With the calm of the peace which passeth understanding, Ben c. Caugh- ron yesterday walked fro minis cell in the state penitentiary into the grim death chamber, and on into internity.
 At o'clock, just as the first faint flashes of the rising sun splashed the chamber walls with gold, the prison physician, with the stethoscope swing ing from his fingers, turned to the silent watchers in the room and said; Gentlemen, pronounce Ben c. Caughron dead"
 Not once during the entire time he has been in the penitentiary death cell awaiting execution for the mur- der of Deputy Sheriff Charles Krik- land in draft resister battle near Mena had Caughron's nerve weak ened, prison officials said yesterday. For two days before the execution he had known that there was no hope of avoiding the sentence, yet yester- day as he stood in his cell listening to the reading of the record which re- cited his crime and set the day of his death, the crucifix in his hand was held without a tremor.
 Perhaps the most remarkable exhi- bition of Caughron's calmness and mental poise occurred when he espied in the death cell a Gazette reporter who had talked with him two days previously and who had written an article embodying the doomed mans statements.
 Caughron grasped the reporter warmly by the hand.
 You treated me fairly in the ar ticle you wrote and I want to thank you for it." he said, in calm, even voice.
 With his death not ten minutes dis tant, and he knew it, Ben Caughron could let his mind dwell on an incl dent so trivial in comparison to what was before him.
 Ready to Go.
 T am ready to go," he said, in re sponse to the question, and bowed his head, shaven for contact with the electron, as a prayer for the peace of his soul was offered Then with g handclasp and a goodbye to his friends in the room, he stepped down the short corridor which leads to the death chamber and the great beyond
