WHAT'S THE REASON?
Many Madison People i'm Poor Health
Without Knowing the Cause.

There are cor of people who
drag out a miserable existence with
out realizing the cause of their suf-
fering. Day after day they are rack
ed with backache and headache; suf-
fer from nervousness, dizziness,
weakness, languor and depression.
Perhaps the kidneys have fallen be-
hind In their work of filtering the
blood and that may be the root of the
trouble. Look to your kidneys, as
sist them in their work-give them
the help they need. You can use no
more highly recommended remedy
Doan's Kidney Pills-endrosed
by people all over the country and by
your neighbors in Madison.

SALVATION ARMY DRIVE
BY MADISON MERCHANTS
ASSOCIATION.

Madison citizens will within the
next few days be asked to subscribe
$500 to support the war activities OF
the Salvation Army in France.
Though 1t is not generally known,
this organization has been actively
engaged in war relief work since
1914, they being the first organiz-
alton to reach France at the outbreak
of the present world conflict. At the
time the first British expeditionar y
force was sent to France, the British
government requested the Salvatio N
Army officials to send their traine d
social service workers to watch an
care for the "Tommies." When the
United States entered into the war
our government Immediately request
ed the Salvationists to do similar
work among the American boys and
the Salvation Army responded alt
once. They have been carrying on
these tremendous operations in
France for nearly four years and
have not made a general appeal for
funds, but now, to meet the increased
demands of the Allied armies they
have been forced to ask the citizens
of the United States to support then
in their efforts. Practically all of thu
larger cities of the country have re
sponded, notably New York, Pitts
burgh. Chicago, Boston, PhiladelA
phia, New Orleans, San Francisco
Minneapolis. Kansas City, Cleveland
and other cities, but now the cam
paign has extended to the smaller
cities and counties and everywhere
the cause has been met with the
greatest enthusiasm. The popularity
of the movement is readily apparent
by the number of donators listed I'M
the campaign returns. Everybody
wants to contribute something to the
cause, no matter how small the do
nation may be. In st. Paul over 49,
600 people contributed to the fund
this being nearly 20 per cent of the
entire population of the city.
Gen. Pershing is greatly in favor
of extending this organizations work
among our boys. He has cabled
Washington for additional huts and
has urged the sending of more Sal
vationists to the front line trenches.
President Wilson has endorsed the
work and urges that it be fully sus-
tanned. The national council of de-
Tense as well as the state council of
defense are back OF the movement
and urge its support.
A local executive committee has
been appointed by the Merchants as
ISOLATION composed of the following
citizens: Marcus Aus, chairman.
Earle Kelley, N. Bjornstad, VIM.
Rowland, Geo. III. Waskey and John
w. Walden.
Promptly at $40 a. m, August 81.
the day set for the drive, a complete
army of workers will descend upon
Madison, each team being assigned
to a certain district over which IL has
absolute jurisdiction. In this man
ner, the committee feels that there
will be no trouble in putting Madi-
son "over the top" in a few hours.

AT ROTARY CLUB
Plans Outlined To Sell s"Smile-
age" Books.
To Conform to Needs
of Government"

At the meeting of the Rotary club
at the Chamber of Commerce to-
day there was thoroly discussed
the putting on sale in Topeka of the
soldiers smileage books. The matter
was brought to the attention of the
club by Lieut.. George McDermott,
who eloquently advocated the sale or
the books to civilians, who, tho un-
able to use them themselves, can seno
them to me soldier who owing TO
lack of funds finds himself unable to
purchase tickets to entertainments. II
is the idea of the Rotarians to push
the sale in Topeka
1t came out at the meeting that the
matter of using the smileage books for
admission to the theaterS in cities
generally has already been taken up
with managers of theaters and picture
houses. Many managers have already
announced that the tickets from the
smileage books will be accepted as cash
at these theaterS. One-half the cash
admission is taken from the smileage
book and the soldier is admitted to the
theater. The matter was referred to a
committee of six to work out the de-
tails of conducting the sale and in
making the distribution to the SOL
diers.
When the club came to discuss the
topic set for today, the proper conduct
of business during the war. some
flamboyant resolutions were intro
duced, debated and tabled. Nothing
was formally adopted. The consensus
of view, however. at the meeting was
overwhelmingly to the effect that dur
ing the state of war business as usu-
az was impossible, but that business
should be conducted along the lines of
making it as nearly normal. or even
above normal. in every possible way
without in any measure handicapping
the government in the conduct of the
war; and that business men and indi-
viduals should so arrange their affairs
as to help the government to the ex-
tent of any possible individual or
business sacrifice, to- bring victory to
the United States and the allies.
DIR. Edmund James Kulp in a motion
put to the Rotarians expressed, per-
haps better than any other speaker
the real opinion of the club on the
business as usual doctrine in war
time.
We will conform our business" de-
clared Doctor Kulp, ito meet the needs
of the government"

railroad men feared severe damage by

taken this possibility into account in
his refusal to lift the Monday closing
order until weather conditions become
normal Tempera tures of forty de-
grees above and higher were causing
rapid melting of the deep snow drifts
which lay over thousands of miles of
tracks.
Hope was seen, in the situation be-
cause of the sudden relaxation in the
pressing clamor for coal which at
