KAISER BLAMED FOR THE WAR
In "An Open Confession" Editorial.
the Milwaukee Germania-Herold
Says 1t Was MisIed by Officials
and Exonerates Britain.

Milwaukee, May MilWaukee's
great German daily, which, with its
weekly editions, circulateS all through
the central West, has reversed its
opinion as to the responsibility for the
world war now raging in Europe. In
remarkable editorial entitled IAN
Open Confession" the Gemania-Her-
old, prompted by the revelations made
public through the publication Of the
diary Of Prince LichnOWsky, imperial
German ambassador to the court of
st. James in the days Immediately pre-
ceding the Openi!:@ of hOstilitieS, an
nOunceS that it h;,G been miSled by
the German governments official state
mentS into believing that England's
commercial jealousy forced Germany
into the war. In announcing its
change in opinion, the Germania-Her-
old eXOnerateS Great Britain from re-
SpOnsibility for the war on the state
ments made by Prince LichnOWsky
and cOrrObOrated by the admissions of
Won JagOW and other German states
men, and makes the assertion that the
crime Of starting the war must rest
upon the landed and industrial junk
erS of Germany.

What's The Reason?
Many Edgerton People in Poor
Health Without Knowing the
Cause

There are scores Of people who drag
out miserable existence without real
izing the cause of their suffering. Day
after day they are racked with back
ache and headache; suffer from nerv-
BUSINESS, dizziness, weakness, languor
and depression. Perhaps the kidneys
have fallen behind in their work of fill
tering the blood and that may be the
root of the trouble. Look to your kid
neys-assist them in their work-give
them the help they need. You can use
no more highly recommended remedy
than Doan's Kidney Pills
Below is grateful testimony from a
resident of this locality:
Fred Peglow. East street, Elkhorn,
Wis, says: Usually, if I caught cold
or did any extra heavy lifting, my back
began to hurt. I had pains through
the small of my back and in my sides.
My kidneys didn't act regularly and l
thought they probably caused the back
ache. Doan's Kidney Pills regulated
my kidneys and then the pains left my
back and sides. Doan's are fine; they
do just what they are claimed to do. y
Price 60c at all dealers. Don't SIM
ply ask for kidney remedy = get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mr.. Pewlow had. Foster-Milburn Co.,

EAST MAKES LITTLE CHANGE
Methods of Agriculture About Bethie-
hem the Sane Nc,v as in the
Eays Of Boaz.

Belt Sahur is small village lying
eastward at The foot of the mountain
whereon is built Bethlehem. and is
what might be called its agricultural
suburb. In the broad level valley be-
yond we see the shepherds fields
where the angels, the first Christmas
eve, appeared TO men in the lowliest
walks of life. Here Boaz must have
had his fields, for they are the only
large ones near to Bethlehem suitable
for raising grain, and such as would
be in the possession of "a mighty
man Of wealth" SIS Boaz is depicted as
being.
After thrcShing. the next process is
to separate the wheat from the chaff.
This is done by the aid of the gentle
breezes that usually arise during the
evening hours, no matter how warm
the summer day may have been.
The tools are very simple. A two
prOnged fork, converted from q single
limb of an oak tree, is used to move
the long straw, and with this the
worker stirs the grain during the
process Of treading it out. For the
winnowing a fork, also made Of oak
wood, but With five fiat prongs, is
used. This is the implement referred
to as the fan OF which we read in
sacred story. A wooden shovel also
plays it's part.
In this land Of no change, or at
least slow change, it is quite conceiv-
able that on and around these very
threshing floors, with the same ap-
pearance of life in oIden times as now,
centered one of the Bibles most
charming stories-Christian Herald.

THANKSGIVING TO SUN-GOD
Pueblo Indians Have a Form of CeIe-
bration Which in Measure Cor
responds to Ours.

Each year the Pueblo Indians who
inhabit the tWO-terraced, clay COM
munity houses which rise tier on tier
to the height Of five stories at Taos,
n. NJ, celebrate the festival of San
Geronimo day
In the morning, races and dances
are held and in the afternoon, Indian
clowns climb a thick pole, at the top
of which hangs a dead sheep, vege-
tables and other food. The one for
tunate enough to reach the top lowers
the provisions to his companions. To
climb this pole at all requires true In
dian agility.
The autumn festival is not so much
tribute to San Geronimo as q thanks
giving to the bountiful sun-god for the
harvest that has been plentifully sup
piled.
: G":'cc" many tourists visit Taos and
attend ;,& Picturesque ceremonies,
which are held on the last day Of Sep
TENDER, says Popular Science Monthly.
There is not sufficient room to shelter
them in the primitive little town, SO
they have to travel to the adjacent
town of San Fernandez de Taos, two
and a half miles distant. Here the
canny Mexican population stages a
celebration all it's own, to extract from
the travellers what loose coins they
have.
