Get New Kidneys /!

The kidneys are the most overworked
organs of the human body and when they
fail in their work of filtering out and
throwing off the poisons developed in the
system, things begin to happen
One of the first warnings is pain or stiff
ness in the lower part of the back; highly
eolored urine; loss of appetite: indiges-
ton; irritation, or even stone in the blad-
der. These 81 nptoms indicate a condition
that may lead to that dreaded and fatal
malady, Bright's disease. for which there
is said to be no cure.

possible. When the last draft law
was put into operation there was
more or less opposition and in many
communities efforts were made 10

men who were subject to the draft as
by those who were really opposed TO
carrying on the war and who shared
the idea. which was once fostered to
large extent by certain people in
this country, that the government had
no right TO draft men to fight on for
eign soil. All that has been settled
so far as legal questions are involved,
and there is no reason why everybody
should not periodically endeavor TO
help the government to carry out the
new draft law with energy and effec-
tiveness.

Washington.-The water power bill
which has been before congress for
so many years is still dragging its slow
length along and there is yet great
doubt whether the senate and house
can get together after the house passes
the pending bill. The water power bill
has never been pressed as a war meas
ure' but there are indications that it
Will be placed in that category and
urged by the president, which will
mean action of some kind. Congress
VIII not refuse to pass what Is consid-
cred q necessary war measure. Con-
gresham Sims of Tennessee, who has
charge Of the water power legislation,
has introduced a very drastic bill and
mas put the usual title upon II which
provides for national defense and
greater security during the war" II
gives the president authority to take
over all kinds of water power plants
and TO utilize such water power as
may be deemed necessary for war pur-
poses. Under this bill all the water
power in the country can be taken over
by the government. and all of the sites
IN the western country over which
there has been so much dispute, be-
cause the states claimed the water
rights, could be taken by the govern
ment and utilized. IN which case all
of the ideas of the most ultra-conser-
vationists would be carried out. II
will be quite a serious thing for many
men in the senate to surrender the
rights of the states in water power,
but they would have to do it if the
bill comes up in the form of war
measure.

There ought to be an object lesson
for the socialist German sympathizers
of America in the method which Ger
many has adopted Of making petty
German Kingdoms of Russian provinces
that have long been seeking to es-
tablish republican form of govern
ment. OF course the object is to Ger
mamie these provinces and bring them
under the control of the German en-
pire and make use of them TO carry on
the war against republican institu-
tions and democracy the world over.
There can be no doubt about the in
tention of Germany and 1t is surprls-

There are many senator's and
representatives who no doubt would
like 10 revise the records which
they made when the United States
first entered the war. II is a we'll
known fact that a considerable proper
ton of the membership of congress
was opposed to the war and would not
have voted for II had it not been for
the urgency of the president. Even
when they voted for war great many
of them expressed the ferveut hope
that American troops would never he
sent to Europe and that they would
not suffer death and wounds on the
battiefields. The idea which seemed
TO prevail among so many congressman
was that we were entering the war on
the moral side and did not intend 70
do any real fighting But this is not
that kind of war Nothing but the
hardest kind of fighting can win
Now that American troops have been
engaged for some time on the western
front and have given a good account
of themselves, II is probable that a diff
ferent idea pervades congress and that
those men who were pacifists. anti
draft men, and antiwar men wish that
they had taken a different course. The
defeat of quite number of them has
been serious lesson, and there are
others who fear that they may be treat
ed to the same kind of medicine II
campaigns are made against them on
their war record in congress.

THE least of our troubles is the rails
ing of revenue to carry on the war"
was the comment of prominent off,
cial, when the talk turned upon the
worry the ways and means and senate
finance committees were indulging in
over the revenue bill. "There will
never be any question about money"
he continued, because every govern
ment is able to get money to carry on
war, no matter how poor it is. This
big, rich country can easily get the
money. II 1t doesn't get it one way
it'll get II in another. OF course, the
easiest way for the people is to give
their money for Liberty bonds. in
which event they are sure 10 get II
back, and while the government has
1t they will get good interest. That
is much better than paying out money
and getting tax receipts. But I'm one
way or another the money will come
In, even IL thebe has to be a forced
loan, or the issuing of fiat paper. AS
long as the war lasts there will always
be money enough to pay for it,"
Almost without regard to party af-
filiations, senators congratulated John
W. Weeks when they heard that he
had a clear field for reelection in
Massachusetts. Weeks has been n
very effective senator. He has been
a good example of the business man
in the senate, taking particular inter

war measures. He Is a member of the
committee on military affairs which
has handled so many important bills
since the war began.
The government is still troubled with
the publication of insidious articles
which often turn out to be German
propaganda. There seems to be no
way in which the government can
reach such publications except TO
take note of them and then write 10

the harm they do. Government Off

the propaganda develops in opposition
to the governments plan for carrying

people are inconvenience by govern
ment Interference with their usual
vOcations but it should be remembered
that as general rule everything the
government is doing TO carry on the
war has been the result of careful
consideration before action was taken.
Instead Of making complaints II is bet

about all our troubles.

What becomes OF the spies7 That is
a question that is sometimes asked and
is never answered. We are quite well
aware that a great many spies have
been arrested, but further than the an
nouncement of such arrest little or
nothing is heard of them 1t is al
together likely that such spies are
well taken care Of In fact. 1t is
doubtful whether II is necessary to
take the same spy twice If his guilt is
proved. If there is one class more
than another that deserves the sever
est punishment it is that element in
America which furnishes aid to the en-
envy of the United States in n time like
this. and such punishment is particn-
larIy due to those spies who are aid
ing the German sea monsters along our
coast to sink American vessels and
drown American citizens who are not

The "slicker" problem which stirred
up so much comment In congress a few
months ago seems to be on it's way
to settlement by the military heads.

who. congress thought. should be near

department bureaus have issued or
ders that all physically at officers and
enlisted men now in Washington shall
be assigned 10 active service and be
replaced by women or men physically
disqualified for service In the field.
