Today We Celebrate
Anniversary Of Danton,s Birth.

Partisan radicals will today pay
their nnu tribute to the OF
Danton. the great leader Of the French
revolution, and his monument in Paris
Will receive its customary decoration
OF red flowers. Today marks the 15eth
anniversary of the birth of Georges
Jacques Danton at Areis-sur-Aube.
For all his excuses. Danton remains
the ideal figure of a rebel. Gigantic
of stature, with a bold and irregular
face redeemed by the fire which
flashed from his eyes. and with a
voice which was likened to a peal of
thunder, he seemed to his followers
almost a god. He was as brave and
as able as George Washington. but he
lacked the calmness and sanity Of the
American revolutionary leader. With
all his faults. Danton's honesty and
patriotism are unquestioned.
Danton was a lawyer I'm Paris at the
outbreak OF the Revolution, and his
robust, tmpetuous temperament and
great ability as an orator quickly
made him a leader among those who
We're plotting for the downfall of
Bourbon tyranny. The court sought
to bride him from his allegiance, but
he replied sc%ornfully, in the pride OF
his power. II shall save the king or
kill himl" When at last the monarch
was hailed before the revolutionary
tribunal to stand trial for his life.
Danton vas among those who voted
for the exaction of the death penalty.
Danton. luxury-loving. frank, gener-
ous. reckless, soon incurred the bitter
enmity OF the cold. cautious. escatic
R~obespierre. Danton called his en-
envy "a sa~nguinary tyrant'-as truth
full a phrase as aver fell from his lips.
Danton's wife and his friends urged
him to fly from the wrath OF Robes
pierre, but he refused.
Charged with treason. he treated his
judges with scorn. MY name Is Dam
ton" he told them, "a name tolerably
well known in the Revolution. My
abode will soon be nothingness, but
my name shall live In the pantheon OF
history" He defled his accusers. call
ing them Contemplate towards" and
added: "Robespierre follows me: I
drag him after me-"
On the road to the place OF execu-
ton he stood erect, brave and defiant
to the end. and urged his companions
to maintain the same composure be-
fore the "rabble." At the foot of the
scaffold lie murmured the name or
his wife. Just before the knife de-
scended he said to Samson. the exc
c%utioner: You will show my head to
the crowd; 1t is worth their s~eeing!"

FOLLOW UP Tit W. S. S. PLEDGES
This Plea Sent Over State; Urre-
deemed Promises of Little Value.

Columbus, Especially
Up the Pledges"
This is the keynote sounded to the
county chairmen by the Ohio War
Savings Committee at conclusion of
the special June effort TO secure
pledges to buy War Savings Stamps
during the remainder of the year.
Remember, your work is not com.
pleted until every penny pledged is
paid" is the admonition given these
chairmen. "See that every pledge is
fulfilled"
The state War Savings Committee
proceeds on the theory that an un-
redeemed or repudiated pledge is
merely "scrap of paper" unless it
materializes into cash. The Treasury
Department cannot use promises to
pay; these pledges will be of no
value to the government until con-
verted into cash payments for War
Savings Stamps.
every man, woman and child who
subscribed for future purchase of War
Savings Stamps did so because they
were earnest in their desire to really
ssave and help not only their govern
ment, but themselves" the state COM
mittee advises. "Only in extreme
cases will you find that more than a
gentle reminder is necessary"

bad attack of kidney trouble. My back
ached constantly and at times l could
not do my work on account of the
sharp pain in my kidneys. If l bent
over, l had a sharp twinge in my back
and it would be several minutes before
1 could straighten up. My kidneys
acted irregularly and caused me an
noyance. My nerves were all un-
strung and the least thing upset me.
My head ached a great deal and at
times l was very dizzy. kept getting
worse until one day read statement
in the paper, telling how much good
Doan's Kidney Pills had done another
person in the town and l gave them a
trial. After using the first box, felt
