MENA EVIDENCE FOR MENA
 PEOPLE.

The Statements of Mena Residents
 Are Surely More Reliable Than
 Those of Utter Strangers.
 Home testimony is real proof.
 Public statements Of Mena people carry real weight
 What a friend or neighbor says compels respect.
 The word of one whose home is far away invites your doubts.
 Here is Mena mans statement.
 And it's for Mena peoples benefit
 Such evidence is convincing.
 That's the kind of proof that backs Doan's Kidney P Ills.
 S. Badt, merchant, 606 Seventh St., says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are certainly the best kidney medicine ever used and many people to whom I have recommended them speak in the highest terms of their curative powers. I suffered with backache for a couple of years and finally used DQan's Kidney Pills. Doan's fixed up my kidneys in good shape"
 OVER FIVE YEARS LATER Mir Badt said: "We still use Doan's Kid ney Pills, always with the same good results. 1 am never without this fine medicine in the house."
 Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidley remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mir Badt had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y. Adv47

 French Writer.

Paris, May 2.-The end will show which weighed most in the balance Austrian cannon as endorsements to the enemy, or the battallons which crossed the Atlantic to support the defenders of the right, says special dispatch to The Temps, describing 8 visit to the American troops at the front

Large Proportion of Returned French
 Prisoners Have Tuberculosis.

Elizabeth Frazier in the Saturday
 Evening Post.
 ''ls there much tuberculosis among the returned prisoners ?" inquired of nurse in the barracks for tuber- culous soldiers in Paris.
 "The percentage is very high" she replied grimly.
 There was some talk of the Ger mans inoculating their French pris- oners with the tubercle bacilli. Is that true?"
 "Oh, no They don't trouble them- selves to do that. They just under feed them, treat them like brutes, work them to death in the mines and factories; and then if our men die un- der these miseries or catch tuberculo- sis they say it's because we're de- cadent racel"

MILLIONS WORSE
 THAN SQUANDERED
Senator McCumber of North Dakota Declares United States War Efforts tO Present Are Negligible
 Must Put in Million Men.

Washington, May 3.-Five million men must be sent on the battle front by the United States within a year, Senator McCumber of North Dakota declared today in an address t. the Senate which reviewed America's work during the first year in the war. The results of Americas efforts have been almost negligible up to the pres enf. he said. Six months have been wasted by the shipping board and $6s0,000, ,000 for aircraft has been worse than squandered
 If we fail to put not less than five million men on the fighting line before the end of another year" he continued. i've will again have gross fy failed to measure up to our moral duty. We must not diseredit another year by colossal blunders."
 Inadequate Ship Tonnage.
 Senator McCumber contrastel statement of President Schwab of the emergency fleet corporation. that the United States would produce ship ton uye of only ten million dead weight in 1919 with the estimates of U-boat losses of seven million gross tons in 1918, and said:
 "A program which contemplates but ten million tonnage Is triaing with the most serious question that ever con- frohted this country It is worse than trifiing, it is suicidal Our only hope of winning this war is in being able to keep our armies in the field another year That means that it is incum- bent on us to supply them with food. If we can't get armies into the field let us at least send food and muni- tions to those who are fighting our battles"
 Failures Pointed Out.
 As preface to his conclusions Sem ator McCumber asserted that what we had lacked most was the foresight zEsd determination to get up and be xoing "when the flying sparks of that great world war threatened to pro- duce conflagration that might force as on the firing line"
 @We seem to have gotten so bewil- 2ered m maze of little things that we nave lost sight of the great re- xuirements," he said.
 'sThe failure of our shipping board s the most aggravating example of failure to grasp big situation"
 Unparalleled extravaganza along Fvery line of nai elaoteoandvr gpu . every line of national endeavor was another reason of failure, the North Dakota senator asserted. "We have been literally burning up the money which the taxpayers have cheerfully paid to create and support a fighting army he charged. "While we can't xsin fhis war without buying Liberty bonds, neigther can we win it by mak- ing bonfires of the money received from Liberty bonds"
 The bluster of the public press, he said, which has grossly exaggerated everything in our favor, had been an- zkher factor in the delay.
