Ptsplis fof Reaction.

1--WE shoemen should begin to prepare
for the great reaction which is bound
to come to the business world when the
war closes. None OF you should forget
that while now you may be selling shoes
on a rising market were the war to
close, you might find yourself selling
shnes ON a falling market"

sideration stands in the way of his selection.
Why, then, is he not one of the discussed posi-
bilities?
Mr.. Gompers, in our opinion, ought to be one
of the commission. Among the conferees to be
sent by the new Germany will be representatives
drawn from the wage earning class leadership.
It may be that England or France will have one
Of their leaders of labor parties at the table.
Certainly labor, its interests and imperial rela-
tons, will be an important factor in many of the
problems of adjustment. Mr.. Gompers would be
an invaluable man at the peace table from this
point of view. He represents the one great labor
organization that has never wavered in its sup
port of the war, and his conception Of the under
lying issues has held this organization true to
the course.
But we would not have Mr.. Gompers con-
sdered merely as labor leader. We have conf
dence in his broad Americanism. We think he
would go as an American citizen and that he
would represent our country's legitimate inter-
ests broadly regardless of class. He has shown
his capacity for craftsmanship in his dealing
with the war and the difficult and dangerous rift
which pacifism and Bolshevism were creating in
British and French solidarity. Hit fitness for
service at the peace conference seems to clear.
We hope he will be selected.

very beneficial, l got a box at Thistle
thwaites Drug Store. They We're just
as successful in my case. l haven't
had any kidney trouble since l used
them and feel sure they have cured
me. Il advise anyone to take Doan' s
when troubled with backache or other
kidney disorders
Mrs. Brown gave the above state
ment in September, 1916 and on Nov

had no return of kidney complaint

FRENCH POL|TENESS
ALMOST TOO MUCH
FOR THIS YANk

PARIS, Nov. 20.-Correspondenc Of
The Associated Press.--In front Of
one OF the big maps Of Paris that
hangs in all the subway stations Y.
M. c. A. man recently found an Amer
lean soldier gesticulating madly in an
unavailing argument with one ticket
taker and three gendarmes. All Of
them were waving him In the most
friendly fashion toward one Of the en-
frances.
VOLTA, monsieur, viola! they were
saying earnestly and one Of the gen
darmes, in an excess Of kindness put
his hand on the private's shoulder
and tried to propel him in the proper
direction.
"But tell you don't want to ge!"
he was saying, desperately. Then he
saw the Y. M. C. A. man and his face
cleared
do you speak French? he asked,
"then for goodness sake don't let them
send me back to the port Of Versail-
les tonight! just came from there"
Where do you want to go?" asked
the Y. M. c. A. man.
Nowhere except home to bed and
they won't let me! said the American
soldier. "They saw me looking at a
map and made up their minds that
wanted to go somewhere and did not
know how. They would have sent me
too II you had not came along"
The Y. M. G.. A. man said something
to the gendarmes and they melted
away with many polite "ah, outs"
beaming upon the American soldier
to the last. He grinned after them.
"They are sure wonderful folks. the
French" he said, "only they're some
times too darn polite"

Mr.. Compers at the Peace Table

The Chicago Tribune says editorially:
Who shall be our representative at the peace
table, if we are in fact to have any besides Mr..
Wilson, is still matter of speculation. Mr.. Taft
is out of it, according to one high official. Mr..
Root and Mr.. Hughes are rumored to be under
consideration Secretary Houston is reported to
be in the running. COL House is certainty, if
not as a member, at least as one of the most
powerful influences.
There is one name that it seems to us is
rather unaccountably absent from these specula-
tions. It is that of Samuel Gompers. Mr.. Com
pers has been a confidant of the president and a
strong supporter of his administration. We
may therefore assume that unless his relations
have recently altered no personal partisan con-

Fireman Lost

In One Month the Interstate
Doctors Gave Her Relief.

| Mr.. Curtis Wright of Dunkirk, who

years, has been trying to find relief for
his sick wife, who had become almost
nervous wreck. He spent money

of the Interstate Doctors, those ex-
pert medical gentlemen who have their

Dunkirk, Ind. Oct 25. 1916.
Dear Doctors:
l am an old resident Of Dunkirk,
! Ind, and have been in a miserable,
run down condition for years. I was
so nervous that l would forget and
! lose my memory. Whenever I would
go to do my homework 1 would for
get what l was doing, even forget
what 1 went after. My head would
swim and I was SO nervous l couldn't
sit down to read. / would take crying
spells about once a week and just
cry and cry and feel blue and had no
reason for it. / have hired all my
work done and my husband would get
so worried when l cried; all my
friends are so accustomed to my sick
ness that they got to the point where

over 5000 with my family doctor, who
said l would never be well until was

ly made up our minds to have the
operation performed as l was no use
to myself. My husband has charge
Of the fire department where we live
and every one in Dunkirk knows U.S.
1 had a very bad stomach trouble
besides female trouble. In only one
month the Interstate Doctors have
surely done wonders in my case. L
can sit down and read without being

specialists as they have done SO much
good for me.
