Many man has fallen down because
a test of his water showed unmistakaOly
that he had kidney disease.
The kidneys are the scavengers and
they work day and night in separating
the poisons from the blood Their sig
nails of distress are easily recognized
and include such symptoms as back
ache, depressions, drowsiness. irritabll-

twinges, dropsy. gout.
The very best way to restore the
ldneys to their normal state Of health
and cure such symptoms" says Dr.
Pierce. Of Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, y.
Y. is TO drink plenty Of water and
obtain from your favorite pharmacy a
small amount Of An-u-ric, double

STRENGTHENING THINGS OUT.

The storm center OF war criticism
at Washington has been, as everybody
knows. Secretary Baker. For a while
II looked as if there were only two
alternatives with regard to the war
secretary-that he must be retained,
along with the policies and methods he
represented. or must give way to an
other man. The first was intolerable
to a multitude of critics, partisan ana
non-partisan. The second was intolera.
BILE TO the president, who has regarded
Mr. Baker as fundamentally qualified
for his job and who also has a penchant
for sticking stubbornly TO any per.
sonal choice once made. But now it
appears that there's another way out,
The New York Times forcshadowed
It in a recent editorial. That news.
paper. one of the most powerful Demo
cratic publications in the country had
criticised Secretary Baker severely
Then. after mature consideration The
Times printed an editorial saying:
Nobody has called i'm question Sec
retary Bakers intelligence, his patriot
ism or his earnest desire to prepare
and equip our soldiers for service
speedily and completely. That his in.
tentiuns are Of the best is beyond doubt
The only question is as to his capacity
to bear the great load he has assumed
No man could bear it alone. However
fit the incumbent may be, though he
be the fittest in the country, he should
have aids Of distinguished ability,
"Mr. Baker would be well advised, We
think, if he should yield to the extent
of calling to his aid men qualified by
experience in great affairs, by strength
Of will, by sheer backbone, to assume
some considerable part Of the great
burden. lie needs no advisory council
no mere clerks, no men called upor
merely to submit views and execute his
orders, but men to whom he can say
'Equip these camps, get guns made, am
munition, airplanes, clothing, provide
transportation, put our army I'm the
field with entire confidence that they
will do his bidding,
"If Mr.. Baker could be persuaded tC
adopt this course there would be az
end of squabblinS and we should muci
sooner be ready for fighting"
There is accommodating evidence tina
this sound advice is being needed BY
Secretary Baker and by the chief t.
whom he is answerable. Many change
have been made since the congressional
Investigation started. Some Of the big
gest of them have been made within
a few days.
