TELLS ON THE KIDNEYS
Madison People Have Found This to
BE True.

The strain of overwork tells on
weakened kidneys. The hurry and
worry of business men, the heavy lift
ing and STOPPING of workmen, the
women's household cares, tend to
wear, weaken and injure the kidneys
until they can no longer filter the
poison from the blood and the whole
body suffers from the waste matter
that accumulates. Weakened kid
neys need quick assistance. Doan's
Kidney Pills are prepared especially
for weakened kidneys need quick as
sistance. Doan's Kidney Pills are
prepared especially for weakened kid
neys; tired, worn-out backs-have
proven their merit in thousands of
such cases. Convincing proof of their
worth in a Madison citizens state
ment:
Mrs. Chas. Martin, COL Third
street SW, says: 81 have used
Doan's Kidney Pills with very good
results and I am glad to endorse
them. My kidneys were in bad shape
and I had dull, tired backaches. My
work ore me all out and l had no
energy. My kidneys acted irregular
ly, too. A friend advised me to use
Doan's Kidney Pills and i found they
were just the thing for me. Doan's
helped me right away. The back
aches left and I felt better in every
way"

ITALY HAS COUNCIL
TO Speed Up WAR
Premier Is Determined to Follow
Energetic Policy in PUSH
ing the War.

Now that the italian cabinet has q
working majority sufficiently numer-
u and powerful to combat antiwar
intrigue both inside and outside par
lament Premier Orlando Is deter
mined to follow an energetic war pol
Icy. In fact a war council has been
formed In Italy composed of the pre-
mler, the ministers of foreign affairs,
war, navy, arms and munitions, treas
ury and another member of the cab
met chosen by the premier, besides the
two chiefs Of staff Of the army and
uavy.
Executive measures connected with
the war and having an urgent charac
ter will be decided In future by the
wei council instead of the cabinet, and
considerable loss Of time will thus be
eaved with great advantage to the sue
cess Of military operations heretofore
delayed, as their approval depended
on long discussions In cabinet coun-
ellis.
Premier Orlando recently confirmed
In the senate his declaration in the
house that no compromise was possible
with those who opposed the war, as
any attempt to weaken the resistance
Of the country amounted to Sreason,
md antiwar activity exclusively bene-
TIED the enemy.
An energetic war policy would be
impossible In q country like Italy I'M
less the government were backed by
the people. So long as the provision
Ing of the country Is assured and the
encouraging announcement made In
the senate by the minister of food, Sig
nor Crespi, who said that special agree,
ments had been concluded with the
United States and the Argentine Re-
public whereby they placed at the al
lies disposal a considerable portion of
their wheat crops, affords the best
proof that the question of food short
age has been satisfactorily solved.
there is no danger of Italy's ellmina-
ton from among the allies. The re-
cent insidious Austro-G German peace
proposals have not deceived Italians,
who realize that their acceptance
would be worse than defeat.

Exploits of Daring Airmen Thrill
All England.
TWO DOWN IS HUN PLANES
No Chance These Human Eagles Won't
Take-captaln Mccudden, Flight
Commander, Prefers to Work Alone
and Has System Of His Own
Forces Foe to Fight and Has Never
Lost an Encounter.

A few nights ago four members Of
the Royal Horse Guards, all more than
six feet In height, and built like Apol-
los, stood In the lobby of a London
theater between the acts. They re-
semS.ed the Three M~usketeers, and at
rracted attention because Of their won
derful physique and splendid bearing.
Near by stood three youngsters. none
wei FIVE feet four, and none weighing
more than 100 pounds. The Horse
Guards, mere military ornaments. re-
semble battleships, the three young
sters, torpedo boats; at least, such
was the comment Of persons who stood
near by. The youngsters were air
men. An American, who had observed
the six, said: "The big fellows are
all right, but give me those kids"
Are the Real Heroes.
The airmen, or the flyers. are the he
roc Of England. All mere boys, they
are clean cut, alert. and full of conf
dence. They are the same as the fly
ers Of all nations. Daredevils, many
call them. Most of them expect 20 he
killed, and In the long run most Of
them are. But, az the average Ameri-
a flyer says: "We get a good fly for
u money at that"
Just at the present time, the two he.
o e Of the air in England are Capt
James McCudden, twenty-five years
old. and Capt. Phillip Foullard, nine
teen. The exploits Of these young
sters have but recently become known
In London. and when they return for
leave, all Britain will be theirs. Cap
tain McCudden has brought down 81
German machines; Captain Foullar1
has accounted for AZ.
There is no chance these human
eagles won't take. There Is no such
thing as fear In their makeup. Cap
tain McCudden Is the leader OF q
squadron which has brought down 90
enemy aircraft. Although a flight
commander, he prefers to work alone.
He manages his machine. and does his
own firing, and is said to be one Of the
best wing shots In any army.
Battles Above Clouds.
His battle grounds lie away above
the clouds. He flies, as a rule, at a
height varying from 10000 to $4,000
feet. He has a system all his own.
When he spies an enemy aircraft he
jockeys the foe from his own course
and compels him to fight. He eve
yet lost an encounter. In a letter to
his mother and sister. just published.
e says that he recently brought down
four German airmen In n day, two
before luncheon and two after. The
next day his score was three.
England has already had q view OF
ID my Of the American flyers on their
lay from America to France. Many
of these young men are university un-
dergrAduates. and one has but to see
them to know that they will quickly
take their place with the idols OF the
air Of France, England and Italy.

GEsCHAEFT IsT GEsCHAEFT

AN UNDISMAYED Socialist named
IA Noske arose recently in the German
Reichstag to talk of a system of profteer
ing which, he said, was developing to
Shameless dimensions in the Fatherland.
And before his hypnotized colleagues
clapped the extinguisher on him he had
shown that the Kaiser is. without excep-
tion. the most brutal war profteer alive
upon the earth today.
The Kaiser beat every other high finan-
cier in the colossal game. He, owned
95.0000C0 worth of the Krupp stocks before
the war and has bought steadily ever
since. He had an inside knowledge of
what was to happen. t:ns man who is so
close to God The Daimler Motor Com
pany. Krupr subsidiary. has charged the
German people a price for each motor that
r. three fines the sum required to build
that essential of modern war. The Daim
Ier plan. threatened TO shu. up shop IL
tbs money wasn't paid. Frau Krupp and
Kaiser Wilhelm were the prohteers in this
instance
The Reichstag hurricdly stopped these
disclosures. The Krupp Company. appar-
emily with royal sanction. has refused to
show its books. When the Socialists tried
TO penetrate the veil TO see who was SO
andustriously bleeding them at both ends
they didn't expect to see lurking in the
background the familiar figure in cloak
and helmet. The sight was considered too
dreadful for Germany at large. The laws
of compensation work themselves out
cur1cusly. The Kaiser insists that God
Bsnt him to rule Germany. Perhaps God
did.
