Kidney disease often advances SO
rapidly that many a person is firmly
in it's grasp before aware of its prog
ress. Prompt attention should be
given the slightest symptom of kidney
disorder. If there is dull pain in
the back, headaches, dizzy spells or a
tired, WORKOUT feeling, or if the kid
ney secretions are offensive, irregular
and attended with pain, procure a
good kidney remedy at once.
Thousands recommend Doan's Kid

The government fixed the price of
the farmers wheat but failed to fix
the prices of the things he must buy.
1t then took over the railroads and
raised the freight and passenger rates
so that the farmer will actually re-
ceive less for his products. The thresh-
ermen met and adopted a scale of
prices and again the farmer caught it
in the neck. Conventions were held
and the farmers were then told the
prices they were expected to pay for
labor 1t would seem that the farmer
has about his share of regulations.

ton, the packing interests, the whole

cal patriotism of the people Of the
Ninth District and is an outgrowth Of
the individual allotment plan gener-
ally practiced in this district in the
third Liberty Loan campaign.
When the individual allotment plan
first was taken under consideration
there were suggestions and insinua-
lions that it savored of coercion but
it was put into effect with such care
and diplomacy that these insinuations
were speedily, dissipated as it was
seen that the individual allotment
plan had had its ambition only that
every individual should do his just
share, no more, no less. In each
community local committees met
aDs prior to the actual opening of
the third campaign and checked over
the residents of their respective COM
munities, seeking to gain an intel
ligent idea of what each individual in
the community should take in bonds
as his or her just share.
In some sixteen of the two hundred
and Lightweight counties the local
committees went even farther with
this plan and instead Of merely arm
ing their statesmen with an intelligent
idea of the individuals buying power,
the committee sent notices to each
prospective bond purchaser asking
them to call at certain centrally To-
Gated places at specified times and
purchase the amount of bonds allotted
to them. This was the first expert
ment with lover the counter" buying
and it was SO successful that the ex-
ecutive committee has recommended
it generally for the Fourth Campaign.
In Steele county, Minnesota, three
thousand, nine hundred and eighty
four out of four thousand persons no
titled to come in and sign up for their
allotments stepped right up to the
mark and signed up for their bonds.
Of the sixteen who failed to appear
some were sick and some were away
from home.

WHAT |. |. BONDS DO
They Give American Soldiers Best
of Everything
People Back Government Freely So
That Soldiers Lack Nothing
That Money Can Buy.

Is the money you are putting into
Liberty bonds doing active service?
Capt Robert L. Finch, one of the
thirteen captains turned loose by the
Red Cross in the American sector in
France to ascertain how our soldier
boys are faring answers that ques-
ton for people of the Ninth Federal
Reserve District. Capt. Finch is one
of the speakers on the war exhibit
trains touring the Ninth District.
II have talked to our soldiers in
France from the boys in the front
line trenches within sight of the Ger
man helmets way back along the lines
of communication and transportation
to the boys at the terminals at the
French seaports," said Capt. Finch,
''in way it might be said that / was
looking for trouble but I could not
find any / found our boys enduring
hardships, encountering and overcom-
ing tremendous obstacles, fighting all
manners of inconvenience, but / did
not find an American soldier in France
who was shy of anything that Amer
lean money could buy. ] never heard
complaint of the character or variety
of the food, complaint regarding the
clothing, rifles, guns, ammunition, hos
pital equipment, or medical service.
"You people over here have backed
your Government freely and you may
have the satisfaction of knowing that
our Army in France lacks nothing
that money can buy, though of course
as the Army increases, SO the expense
increases, and you have got to keep
up the good work. That means buy

LUTHERANS PLEDGE SUPPORT

On his return to Minneapolis last
week DR.. H. J. Stub, president of the
National Lutheran council, informed
A. r. Rogers, Ninth District Liberty
Loan Chairman, that the body Of.
which DR.. Stub is president had adopt
ed a resolution at its Chicago confer
ence pledging the unqualified support
Of the Lutherans to the United States
Government in all of it's war activi-
ties
The National Lutheran council is
composed of synodical presidents, pas
tors and laymen representing the vast
majority of the Lutheran church bod
les in the United States and taking
in Lutherans Of all nationalities,
Swedish, German, Norwegian, Danish,
Finnish, and all others affiliated with
this current church body.
The following is the resolution
adopted:
"As loyal citizens we will stand
back of our Government not only in
promoting the Fourth Liberty Loan
but also in supporting our Govern
ment in all activities necessary to
bring the war to a victorious end and
to establish peace On the basis of
right and justice to all"

Some citizen of the United States
of America bought Liberty bond;
pc haps it was only fifty dollar bond.
A portion of the money loaned to
the Government by the purchaser of
this Liberty bond bought the steel
helmet this soldier is holding up for
your Inspection. The soldier, when
he put it on, called it 'tin hat"
The soldier wearing this 'tin hat"
which was bought for him with Lib
erty Loan money wore it In the bat
fIe A half dozen bullets ratified
against it and the 'tin hat" tossed
them off and the soldier kept on fight
ing.
Anyone of these bullets would have
stopped the soldier, perhaps forever.
Finally a piece of shrapnel came
along and smashed up against the
"tin hat" Of course "tin hats" are
not built to withstand shrapneI and

SACRIFICE The THING
Word Is True Definition of Patri-
OtiSm
Assertion of Sergeant Davis, Speaker
in Ninth District Fourth Lib
erty Bond Campaign.

Sergeant Leslie W. Davis, who halls
from Kentucky, and is veteran of the
Philippines and Cuba and Of the
trenches in France and who is
speaker on the war exhibit trains
touring the Ninth Federal District, is
a reticent man in private life but once
he starts talking war he brings the
Liberty Loan money out of hiding
places in a golden stream.
Davis answered the call to the
Colors in August, 1917, and went to
France in December with Co. E, 81
Engineers and saw active service all
along the line, but gas and shell-shock
temporarily wound up his fighting ca
reer and he was shipped home to
talk for Liberty Loans.
When he landed in Ninth District
headquarters, Minneapolis, he did not
act like a speaker for he simply gave
his name and credentials and said he
was ready for service. An effort was
could get rise out Of him. Finally
he was asked point blank:
Davis, what do you say to man
who could afford to buy Liberty
bond and doesn't?"
The fire leaped to his eyes, his hair
seemed to bristle, he bounded out of
his chair and launched into an extern
poraneous Grafton which trilled every
one in district headquarters. When
Davis was through the tears were
running down his checks, he was shak-
ing like a leaf and it was necessary
to lead him to chair. No one re-
members all he said but they all
remember his last sentence:
"The true definition of patriotism
is sacrifice"

People of Ninth District To Be
Given Opportunity to Pur-
chase cover the Counter"
PATRIOTISM RELIED ON
Personal Solicitation and Salesman
ship To Be Almost Entirely Dis
pensed With-Ninety Per Cent
of Counties Adopt Method.

The quality of patriotism is SO firm
ly intrenched in the hearts of the peo-
pie of the Ninth Federal Reserve Dis
trict that in nearly ninety per cent
of the two hundred and lightweight
counties constituting this district the
people will have the opportunity to
step up to TIE counter and do their
bond buying without personal solicit
tatiOn.
In none Of the other Federal Re-
serve Districts is such plan being
attempted, but the executive commit
tee of the Ninth District feels conf
dent that 1t is justified in the conf
dence it is reposing in the people of
this district when it invites them to
do their own bond buying over the
counter, and dispensing thereby al
most entirely with personal solicita-
ton and craftsmanship.
Good morning, neighbor. How
much money does our Government
need from me in this Fourth Liberty
Loan?"
That is the question fully a million
residents of this Ninth District are
expected to ask as they step into their
usual polling places or some other
centrally located headquarters on the
opening of the Fourth Liberty Loan
campaign.
And the man behind the counter
will say after consulting his card in
deX:
well, Mr.. Jones, our Government
is looking to you this time for a loan
of about $1,000"
And the good American purchaser
Is relied upon to reply:
"All right, neighbor, that sounds
like a fair allotment to me. Just
hand over the necessary papers and
| will sign up"
This method of bond selling is not
made compulsory throughout the dis
trict, but the district committee, hav
Ing had considerable experience, and
after much consideration decided to
recommend cover the counter" sales
to all county organizations and near
ly ninety per cent Of the county
chairmen sent in word that they
would adopt this plan.
This unique development is regard
ed as probably the highest compli-
ment that could be paid to the practi-
