HIDDEN DANGERS
Nature Gives Timely Warnings That
No Maysville Citizen Can Afford
10 Ignore.

DANGER SIGNAL NO. 1 comes
from the kidney secretions. They Will
warn you when the kidneys are weak.
Well kidneys excrete clear, amber
fluid. Weak kidneys send out q thin,
pale and foamy, or a thick, red, Ill
smelling urine, full OF sediment and
irregular OF passage.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. 2 comes
from the back. Back pains, dull and
heavy, or sharp and acute, suggest
weak kidneys and warn you OF the
danger Of dropsy, gravel and Brights
disease. In that case Doan's Kidney
Pills have been endorsed by thous-
ands. Here is q statement Of a nearby
resident:
Jas. M. Newton, Gum, st., Aberdeen,
Ohio, says: IL have used Doan's Kid
: ney Pills off and on for several years
and have been greatly benefited
Whenever my back has been weak or
when my kidneys have been too fire.

get at Wood & Sons Drug Store. They
have always relieved me In a short
time"
The above Is not an isolated case.
Mr.. Newton is only one Of many In
this vicinity who have gratefully en-
dorsed Doan's. II your back aches--if
your kidneys bother you, don't simply

that Mr.. Newton had. Coo all stores.

THE DOG QUESTION
An Old Gardener Gives Some Very
Pertinent Facts and His Views
on the Subject.
Editor Public Ledger:

Editor Public Ledger:
There is no question today of more
vital Importance to the people Of
Maysville and Mason county than the
food question. Last year the Ledger
as well as the other papers of Mays
Vile gave the people much valuable
advice in regard to raising war gar
den. There are many families along
the line of Forrest avenue that have
very productive garden lots. These
lots and homes Dire located on the
South side of the avenue in Oklahoma,
and Eastland as well as on the North
side of the avenue. Now the most dis
tructive foe to our gardens in this
part of the Lords moral vinyard Is
the festive dog, and there seems to be
legions of them, and more coming
Judging from the youthful appearance
of these mongrels and the various
sizes, from quarter to full grown, they
surely are prolific breeders.
We believe it is absolutely neces-
sary to conserve every mouthful OF
food we possibly can, we also believe
we should raise all the vegetables we
can, not only enough for our own
wants but If possible some for market,
that those who have no lots for gar
den may also have vegetables. We
personally know in some homes where
the back yards that have heretofore
been cultivated in flowers will this
year be planted in vegetables.
Those who know the habits of the
dog know that they will congregate in
droves of from four to six or even a
greater number, and play. They mere
often congregate of nights than in day
light and invariably in warm wealth

for their carousal This choice play

onion bed, or some vegetable even
more easily damaged, whatever 1t may
be, when their night of hellish revelry
is over, the poor man or woman who
has worked, saved, and skimped, to
buy seed to plant this garden, find
they are not only minus a garden, but
have also lost their labor as well as
the money the seed cost. The man
who can afford to keep worthless
cur, can with the same expense raise
a hog, that will net him 300 pounds of
of good meat. This we believe is a
conservative estimate, and we feel
confident in saying that II there were
as many hogs in Oklahoma and East
land, as there are dogs, the pleasant
odor Of frying bacon would attest the
economic determination to help win
the war. The family who keeps q
worthless cur, and we know families
who keep two or three, not only do on
injustice to themselves, but also to
their neighbor. First If the dog is no.
given enough to eat he goes out, and
steals whenever he can find anything
to steal and this stealing deprives
some honest man, or possibly some
hungry child of enough to eat. Sec
ond. We are all trying to live up to
the food laws as explained by the
Food Administrator of the county and
we put this question to any fair mind
ed man. Is the man who keeps one or
two ours worse than useless en-
titled to the same amount of meal
or -four to feed those dogs as is the
man who has one or two children to
feed? No use to say the dog can do
without eating, he can't, and he surely
will not, unless some one for the good
of the country torpedoes him. Food
stuffs can not be fairly distributed
and honestly conserved as long as
these useless dogs are factor in con-
suming. The farmer often has use
for the we'll bred and we'll trained
dog, but the man who lives in town
and keeps dog often inflicts the most
vexatious pest upon his neighbor.
There is some law that regulates the
keeping or haboring of dogs, and we
presume our good County Judge or
our able and most efficient Food Ad-
ministrator is conversant with this
law, the writer is not, and we are
neither willing to divide our allotment
of bread with his pupship or donate
him our garden for a play ground.
The people of Oklahoma and East
land are going to try to raise a war
garden, and If the law does not pro-
tect us by Heck 1t will be a war gar
den sure enough.

Dear Mama and Papa:
This is Sunday afternoon and 4
regular Oregon day, rainy and cool,
but not very disagreable. Well, we
have surely done some tall rambling
around since we started, as we have
travelled close to 5000 miles. We
have come farther than any other
soldiers, except the Australians, and
New Zealanders. We are not per-
manently settled yet, although our
next move will not be for any great
distance. We have not been very
near the firing lines, and | think it
will be some time before we hear the
big guns roar. There are a good
many French soldiers in these towns
and they are optimistic, too, same as
the English. They speak of their
wounds, of trenches, of trench hard
ships, and everything with a smile,
until they speak of the Germans
themselves, then they show anger.
Everywhere over here is the German
hated and looked upon with disgust.
We have seen quite a good many Ger
man prisoners working under guard.
They say they are very little trouble
to their guards, as they are pretty
well satisfied here.
y At present we are camped in an old
Trench barracks. 1t is a huge stone
affair, surrounded by high, thick
walls, with cobblestone ward and in
terror construction. 1t was once a
French monastery, which was later
taken over by the French government
and occupied by Napoleon's cavalry.
It is an American camp now, with
American flags flying over the old
iron gates at the entrance. We are
right in the center of the town and
on couple of occasions have been
out in town for couple of hours.
Only the best dressed people here
wear leather soled shoes, the rest
are leather tops with wooden soles.
When the kids" come along from
school, they sound like a regiment of
cavalry rattling along over the cob
blestones. The shoes are quite we'll
made and in most cases well BACKED,
so they make good appearance. No
matter what they wear, these people
generally look good, as they are not
slouchy and seldom dirty We came

FOURTEEN SPECIFIC PURPOSES

Washington, Jan. 9.-America's pro
gram OF war and peace, with definite
terms upon which the nations, grea1
and small fighting together against
German world domination are ready
to lay down their arms, was given to
the world by President Wilson yester
day through an address to congress in
joint session.
For this program, based upon the
righting of wrongs and the safety of
peace loving peoples desiring to live
their own lives, the president commit
ted the United States to fight and to
continue to fight until it is achieved
Thus he pledged the country to the
allied policy of no separate peace. we
cannot be separated in interest or d.
vided in purpose" he said. we stand
together to the end
MORE SPECIFIC THAN GEORGE
The speech heard by congress at an
hours notice and accepted with
wave of APPROVAL that brought together
virtually every element of both houses,
was delivered as a direct response to
the German challenge in the negotia-
lions with the Russians at Brest-Lit-
ovsk. It followed closely and ap.
proved the address of the British pre-
mier, but was far more specific in
statements of terms, robbing of force
in advance any German peace drive
designed to confuse the Entente and
American governments and their peo-
pie, while at the same time present
ing the foundation for genuine negotl-
atoms whenever the Central Powers
are ready to talk of just peace.
