HELPFUL WORDS
From a MinOt Citizen.

Is your back lame and painful7
Does it ache especially after exer-
ton?
Is there a soreness in the kidney re-
gion? -,
These symptoms suggest weak kid
neys.
If SO there is danger in delay.
Weak kidneys get fast weaker,
Give your trouble prompt attention.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak
kidneys.
Your neighbors use and recommend
them.
Read this Minot testimony.
Mrs. Jackson, TOT Valley st., says:
81 haven't needed kidney medicine

across my kidneys and rid me OF
other kidney troubles that were often
so bad that l couldn't walk"

liam p. Kenney, who has just become
president of the Great Northern rail-
way. Louis w. Hill. chairman of the
board of directors, will continue as
active as heretofore In the management
of the railway system his father built.
Selling newspapers was the start
Ing point of Kenney's career, back in
the eighties. He progressed step by
step, later becoming q Western Union
messenger boy. The clicking of the
telegraph instrument was a lure to
him. He mastered the key and became
an operator.
That opened the way for Ken
ney's railway career. He turned his
attention to traffic and before he was
forty became a recognized traffic au-
thority. In 1912 Kenney was made
vice president and traffic manager of
the Great Northern. He then came

Pen and Ink a Factor
in Winning the War

while we all contend that food
will win the war" we must not
forget the importance of 1.-The print
ed page"
e. S. Babcox, advertising manager
for the Firestone Tire and Rubber
Company, and V. p. of the Associa-
ton of National Advertisers, who is
serving the government on the ad-
vertising division of the committee
on public information, points out the
fact that Germany has long age
realized the power of this influence
and is teaching the world some rare
(rnis) uses of the press invented by
one of her own citizens, John Gu
tenberg, in 1446.
Ever since that time, Germany
has been carrying on an "insidious
propaganda" The success of it is
particularly noted in developments in
Russia, which has been subdued not
with bullets of steel, but with pa
per bullets. Again we note it in the
Italian drive, where temporary Ger
man success was due to the issuing
of counterfeit of a popular Ital-
ian paper.
Our real need to-day is for q
broad national campaign to tell our
people about the war it's causes.
our conditions and prospects, so that
there may be a unity of purpose and
understanding to support and give
force to those at tho front"
1t is to this end that Mr.. Babcox
and his associates are bending all
their energies, that the war may be
won-soon.
